Minnie Driver defends GC journo

[teawamutu]

Journalist calls someone a handmaiden on Twitter. Person (a charity worker and Guardian journo) contacts women's editor to complain and boasts about it on Twitter.

Minnie Driver (200,000 plus followers) hands her her arse.

@SarahWoolley @MsMarmitelover @bbcthree @DrRonx @SeldonMoore @HamandHigh You’re a charity worker ? Perhaps brush up on your compassion when not ‘using’ it in the context of a chat while bitterly trying to lose someone their job.

Yeah, I'm not sure how to take the dragon tweet. I did love this comment exchange on it though, perfectly illustrating the two interpretations!

Isn’t it possible that MD can be supportive of trans people just existing and minding their own business while also condemning the behaviour of TRAs who act like the thought police? People can be both things.

What i’m saying is, she did a good thing calling out this shitty bullying behaviour. Does it matter what else she thinks? Purity spirals exist on both sides of this debate, i think sometimes.

Pretty much everyone on FWR holds the beliefs you state, Madambutterface.
That's not quite the same as believing that anyone can change sex though.
I agree that she made a good post regardless.

Agreed. But when you look at what happens to women who speak up for other women... Seems like most just want to steer clear.
