I agree with something Toby Young said. That might be the most surprising thing about this whole affair.

Rod Liddel in today's Sunday Times mentions this

And another gc-ish swipe in the 'genes' section

Don't agree with him on the 'fridging' bit (not quite sure what his point there is tbh) though I liked its opening line.

Rod Liddle is an asshat. He just sees the opportunity to be cleverer than thou. He doesn't care.

Couple of screen shots for those not wanting to give Liddle the clicks.
He describes himself as ‘reading the Guardian so you don’t have to’ so he can’t really object:

There was a discussion on this particular topic on Digital Spy, so I waded in yesterday with a few biological facts (dimorphic species, sex vs. gender, why women can't transition into transwomen, why women don't have penises, etc etc) ….and it's all been cut and deemed transphobic. Thread closed.

Basic biology. Censored. Unbelievable.

So thank you @MNHQ, you really are allowing us to speak relatively freely here and I salute you for that.

I'll leave DS in the hands of the misogynistic science-deniers.

'Transphobia' seems to be the manifestation of TRAs fear of objective reality.

Angelos being interviewed on R4 Today now. What a great guy. Some attempt I think to shout him down at the beginning.

I just caught up on his radio 4 interview. He came across very well. I can't believe he's only 23! He's wise beyond his years.
