The best thing about this was that I've been following Cleese's twitter since the whole JKR thing started and I really believe he was approaching the topic in good faith, in a "Hey I don't see the issue but maybe I'm missing something, let's talk about it!" kinda way, but the engagement from TRAs in response to his questions drove him to peak instead of sympathising with them.

It always does. Most of us were TWAW-accepting/libfems before we started thinking and asking genuine questions, then received nothing but abuse, silencing and anti-science BS in return. Then someone calls us a TERF, we look it up and agree.
