Man says sorry

Mark Smith of The Herald says sorry to women. To be honest it sounds like his arc from be kind to gender critical is similar to my own (although I didn't pay much attention rather than supporting self id) so I'm not sure he's got a huge amount to be sorry for. It's nice to hear though.

I don't think he was ever TRA, but I do remember him saying in an article something like he hadn't fully appreciated the crap women went through before the trans issue came along. I can't remember the exact wording, but it was on the lines that it took the full-blown misogyny of trans activists to show him just what women had to put up with.

That could well be it. I seem to remember that when he first appeared to see the GC light some women were sceptical and thought he was just playing us, but he's stuck to the GC line.

But that's still not a real apology, is it? Rather shocking that we have just the one real apology. You'd have hoped for better.

I don't need apologies tbh, if people could just stop calling me a fascist that would suffice. I'm a mild mannered middle aged leftie, ffs. It's absurd.

You deserve one even so!

That's right I think. I recall him on the Moral Maze complaining that feminism was no longer about defending women but 'policing men'. That was a few years ago mind , before the TRAs were in their pomp. I guess they peaked him?
