Alan Turing's revisionism feel like a knife to the heart. They forcibly chemically castrated one of the greatest minds, AFTER he saved their asses in WWII, and he poisoned himself with cyanide at age 41. All because he was gay.

And the TRA have the FUCKING GALL to revise him as a trans icon. Fuck them and fuck those who believe that crap. He was destroyed by the people he saved and his memory and achievements should not be sullied by identity politics and revisionists.

This man contributed so much not just to the war, but to all of modern computing. And yet he was betrayed by the governmen he fought for and was subsequently murdered by them. His story was tragic enough without these horrible people saying that this is all some perverted view of government healthcare and that he desired the castration they forced upon him. It is legitimately sickening that people in the modern world can take this man's legacy and act like he wasn't persecuted to the point of death. These people hold nothing sacred

I had no idea Alan Turing was one of their targets.

Either way, very pleased to see him immortalised on the new £50 note.

I think it didn't get a lot of traction, not like Marsha P Johnson.

And it's very well deserved.

Wasn’t the Alan Turing one satire? Or at least I heard it was.
