I'm pondering my bald patch. I've turned into my Nan. She had the same thinnng hair.

Is it possible to transplant chin hair back onto my head? Or should I shave my head and plait my chin?

"You were asking for it. Stop complaining, you’re not hurt. It’s your mouth that’s the problem.

Men like this watch women threatened with death, rape and mutilation for the crime of defending their rights and the only problem they can see is that we’re still speaking out."

So have I got this right... random man says we shouldn't worry our pretty little heads about online abuse, it only crosses a line when it's misgendering?

How lovely of him. Women - just put up with it, that's your lot in life. Men's feelings are far more important though.

Further evidence that we haven't fixed sexism yet, despite what some would have us believe! 🙄

He re-tweets IW. A lot. He also claims that he was asked to go on GB News but he declined.

Perhaps this is a useful strategy?

Erm ... isn't James Dreyfus just a little bit older than me, ie in his fifties?!
Since when the hell would there have been a "Gay Day of Visibility" back in his day?!
Is he conveniently forgetting Section 28 or what?;

Er, you seem to have completely missed the point of that post.....as in totally and utterly.

The folk at Police Scotland must be squirming in their seats at the moment. Arrest JKR and get absolutely spanked through the courts and media because you've admitted that Scotland has turned into an authoritarian hellscape and Police Scotland is hopelessly captured or admit GI is absolute bullshite, face the footstamping of the TRA's and give the go ahead for women to speak the truth.

Na. No chance.

It's a bloody bank holiday. Why anyone thinks the police did anything at all today, including checking to see if a complaint has been logged is beyond me.

No fucker on duty. Even those few that have been, would have been doing the British equivalent of eating donuts. None of them are actually going to do some work.

Grotesque. Glorifying a billionaire bully who spent Easter Monday taunting a tiny minority.
IW may well implode with such constant distortion of what was really said by JKR. .
Oblivious to the fact that IWself was libelling people as sex offenders earlier

I think James is contrasting the condition and status of gay rights activists back in the 80's (ignored at best, despised, spat at, beaten up, murdered) with the current iteration of TRA's who, despite claiming to be marginalised and subject to trans genocide seem to be remarkably successful in gaining power and influence in the institutions James lists. Marginalised my arse.

Erm yes mate, but he posts on the " gender critical" side of this topic.
What leads you to believe he's posting it in humour when that's his usual stance?

That would make sense if the offence in Scotland was also a crime in England and Wales or NI, but it isn't. We don't arrest gay Nigerians and deport them to Nigeria because the Nigerian police ask us to. And when abortion was still illegal in NI, PSNI weren't telling English police to arrest Northern Irish women who'd self-managed medical abortions with mail order pills and later come here.

No because the ECHR and Human Rights Act prevent us from deporting people who might be at risk of physical harm from a State of they are returned to that State.

Hence why Assange just got his extradition to the US halted because the judge says 'we must have assurances that the death penalty isn't on the table'.

Since the Scottish Government havent yet decided to bring back tieing witches to stakes or ducking them in rivers, just yet we don't this as an option.

I must say I find the idea that Labour are still considering this as law in England as amusing. They actually could do with this being a total disaster area in Scotland ahead of elections.

He’s a comedy actor and the tweet thread is dripping with irony.

Obvs you know it’s not a factual account of LGB history in the U.K., because as you yourself pointed out, Section 28.

Exactly. Since when the hell would there have been a "Gay Day of Visibility".

Way to completely not get it.

Your 'not getting it' is so very very illustrative, though.
