So all I can basically get from this is that she thinks it's hate speech.

My response to her is that I think she's an idiot.

Let’s be clear: nobody, regardless of the beliefs they hold on gender, is denying the existence of biological sex.

Oops, cocked up on that there, Lucy!

After all, journalists shouldn’t be obliged to report on things that might cause harm to others."

Activists constantly saying that trans people kill themselves if people don't believe they have changed sex would definitely fall under this category. Suicide reporting guidelines weren't just plucked out of the air - they are designed to prevent further harm. But TRAs know better of course.

Lucy: "I'm not against free speech."

Also Lucy: "The rights of men claiming to be women are not up for debate."

I can see that world-class university training in how to manage logical, non-contradictory claims is really bearing fruit.

Aren’t there special newspapers for people like Lucy who only want to read “good news”?
