The common issue is free speech. Hearing other views helps us refine our own, amd hopefully reach concensus.
Calling people tabloid scum gets us nowhere.
I once agreed with a Katie Hopkins article about dementia and was impressed with her description of her brain surgery. But choose not to read most of what she writes. Does not mean she, like Littlejohn, should be prevented from having a view. Both have scope to say the unsayable (like holding a gc view) because they cant really damage their existing reputations.
I think the Taliban analogy is clever. The Taliban no more represent Muslims that TRAs represent people with gender dysmorphia. In contrast Jan Morris is cool. I remember reading her book about her sex change serialised in, I think, The Times when I was a teenager and feeling very symathetic. It is a moving memoir. Her travel books, which I read later, were good too. Rather her as a figurehead than AC.
