This is unbelievable - it is called "terfs stop being transphobic challenge"

I've seen some utter bollocks in my time but this is right up there.

Thank you, Cross and Thelnebriati.
What guff!
It's very disingenuous trying to turn 'Terfs' against men but be sympathetic to NB people, as if it wasn't all part of the same problem.

That's possibly your inner garbage talking? Or maybe a man told you to say it and you didn't notice.

I’m guessing the Globe is no longer a suitable place to take my kids to this half term, then? What are they thinking ffs?

"We can't stand against them when they turn your anger onto us"

Who can't stand against who when who turns whose anger onto who?

The is is why the actual meanings of pronouns are important, even outside of the male/female context.

Generally, presume 'them' is everyone who is not 'us'.

Us is on the right side of history, Us wants the pears cutted up and whole all at once immediately, Us is misunderstood, and Us is going to punch all you bitches because you is mean.

Sorry, Them is mean.

It made me sad and angry.
Love The Globe, always go when down in London. I feel sorry for Alex, it's teenage angst isn't it, mummy issues. We've all been there, but they didn't use to encourage you to lop off your breasts and take hormones and think everyone hates you.
It's The Globe I'm angry at, irresponsible bollox. I wont support them anymore.
Talk about a bubble.

I'm afraid it's always Mummy issues.

This poem reminds me of the very angry rantings of a young trans non-binary (female) councillor in Leeds not so long ago.

This is a horrible time for older women - an open season for targeting from so many quarters.
