Thank you so much again for just keeping going Glinner and for using your voice so consistently and eloquently. And for highlighting women’s reality and women’s campaigning work alongside your own.
It’s absolutely horrible that so many people will look the other way or just literally not give a shit (or be creepily excited) when the collateral damage to women and children is pointed out to them. The house IS on fire and 51% of the population and our kids have been metaphorically thrown in it with explicit approval of this at the very highest levels.
I thought the Times’ interviewer’s tone was ridiculous, trying to have this both ways but Glinner’s truth telling and reasonableness always shines through. It makes the interviewer’s attempts to paint Glinner as in some way as having an extreme position look very strange: eg this extract:
‘[Glinner] was dubbed “the most hated man on the internet” before his exclusion from Twitter. The final straw for moderators arrived when he trolled the Women’s Institute, who had wished their transgender members a happy Pride by tweeting: “Men aren’t women, tho”. He was barred for “hateful conduct”.’
Nothing done wrong there ^
It’s not ‘trolling’ for anyone to make a statement of biological fact. That’s the whole point.
And that the WOMEN’S institute needs a reminder about what biological sex is… you couldn’t make it up.
That male journalist carping that Glinner’s brought up things that are ‘dark’ is pretty embarrassing.
As a male Times journalist, none of this political reality endangers or silences him though, does it? It’s women and children who are being put at massive risk and being undermined and silenced on this one. And when they complain of the reality of what’s happening, in vast numbers they (or staunch campaigners like Glinner) are ignored or harassed and threatened or criticised that their views are too mean, too unpalatable, too upsetting or somehow too ‘dark’?
