Here we go again, with the worst campaign ever
This should have been a campaign of awareness, make the general public aware of the huge implications of self ID and let them come to their own conclusions, a vast, vast majority of people would have been entirely in agreement that this was too much too fast and at the very least significant further consultation was needed.
But they didn’t do that did they. They let a load of self-promoting, borderline insane, people take the lead on the frontline.
Just spend some time googling this Caroline Farrow, she’s an extremist who justifies her views with religious nonsense. She is NOT the person you want on the front line on national TV, nor are many of the fan favourites in the feminism boards with their constant unprofessional public meltdowns on social media.
You’ve already got the people strongly in favour of your case you don’t need to preach to the choir, you need to go out of the church and make the person in the street aware, manic irrational people like Caroline Farrow just put off the middle ground from either side and do the campaign infinitely more harm than this. The middle ground don’t want to take a position on either side, because both extremes are dominated by buffoons like Farrow.
The public don’t give a shit about whether someone should be called he she or they, they think whatever floats your boat I’m happy with. The public would care a hell of a lot more vehemently if the focus was on shared spaces and not a load of student union twaddle about the worlds most ineffective boycott (Ocado share price still rising like a rocket), stickers and twitter wars. Never seen a more easily winnable campaign be carried out so horrifically poorly, and I say that as someone who is on your side.
