“Believe all women unless she’s raped by a man in a skirt. Then cover it up, belittle the victim’s father, and give the rapist a pass to hurt another woman.”

I will never understand how anyone who supposedly cares about women’s or LGB rights even gives the trans community the time of day.

It breaks my heart that this poor guy got arrested standing up for his daughter and that he then felt the need to clarify he doesn’t hate LGB people. If the trans community had a single shred of human decency they wouldn’t hide behind us and try to frame the father of a goddamn rape victim as a careless bigot.

There were no LGB people involved. When I hear people have an issue (to put it mildly here-- we're talking about a rapist) with T, and they then say "LGBT," I am OUTRAGED.

It's like someone catching a pedo doing his pedo shit and saying "oh but I totally support gay people" -- what did gay people have to do with this abominable behavior?

I actually appreciated him saying that. I thought he must know that we're lumped together, but he's not a homophobe and just opposes this insane trans shit.

Oh, so you saw it more like "this has nothing to do with LGB. We have a T issue here!"? Gotcha. I just wish he'd said "rapist, pervert, fetishist" and not mentioned SSA people in the same breath. I don't want any link in people's minds.

Yeah and I agree, but the link is still very much there in people's minds. But Ofcom calling us LGB was a pleasant surprise. Good news.
