Spontaneous, please enlighten me as I really do not know what I said that upset Sweary. I am very happy to apologise for anything if I did. As I am not one to be mean to people on purpose.
I certainly do not say that when I first came on Mumsnet I was not taken aback by some of the stark views. It was strange and scary and nobody had called me a man to my face in 40 years.
There were posts suggesting as a transperson I was colonising women and exterminating them like settlers from Europe did to the native Americans. It was so far removed from what I knew that I probably chuckled at them as I did not understand the basis and it was a better reaction than getting angry.
I can see from weeks reading on here where they come from now even if I do not really understand the analogy.
So I might have made some comments that don't sit well with you now.
And, yes, I was trying to find a bridge to build between here and trans people on Angels so I might have from time to time said what I was hearing to look for reactions there .
But that's why I came on here to see your side of the argument and to understand. It is what you often ask trans people to do on here. I was trying to see this from both sides and you can only do that by engaging both sides.
My posts on Angels have generally taken the same line as on here - that's why I became increasingly alienated by them and squeezed out. Anyone reading them will see that and how being on here hardened my stance on things and became more and more focused. And further and further away from the hard line on there. To the point of having to make a choice.
But I was never conscious of laughing at people and I know what I posted about Sweary on that radio show as I went off and read it the night of that thread sure I must have done something I had not realised inadvertently.
