just read his new statesman word vomit

All very word salad

but what he is saying - but doesn’t have to balls to actually write it down clearly is:

the idea that there are two sexes and women are oppressed by men is reactionary and right wing

people (ie almost all women) must be accountable for this wrong think to - well - to him and other right thinkers

its so disingenuous

and just so soaked in misogyny

and worded in such a fluffy manner that the right on folx can nod away with it and bask in the glow of being so wonderfully righteous

he’s such a dickhead

I take your point.

In fact I think Billy Bragg should be more accountable to the Billy Bragg class which he belongs to.

He is persecuting his own minority class.

left wing misogynists are the worst

at least right wing misogynists will open the door for you

Not All Billy Braggs Are Like That.

only CisBillyBragg is a wanker.

There are still loads of TransBillyBraggs on Twitter who I find to be lovely.

Your first mistake was reading a Billy Bragg piece in the New Statesman in the first place

However I do agree, especially with the 'fluffy' tone of many TRA ramblings in the mainstream press - they have to use a benign, anodyne tone of love and inclusion because to speak accurately and directly would be to expose what a perverse nightmare this whole thing is
