British media is letting more and more of these stories get published. It's good to see. Makes it feel like the tide is turning over there at least.

The author's tweet about it: https://twitter.com/soniasodha/status/1530806722818109440

Some "No one says that!" replies even though she literally quotes people saying that in the article. A lot of support for the author though, which is nice to see. Seems the rabid TRAs haven't found it yet, guessing a lot of them are Americans and sleeping right now. And of course a self-proclaimed gay man(who admits to sleeping with women so...) in there defending the rapists.

The Guardian's twitter: https://twitter.com/guardian/status/1530824804839919617

A lot more people claiming it never happens who clearly didn't even bother to read the article before getting outraged by it.

Yeah, there is definitely a shift going on. I'm sure most Americans are sleeping right now, as I will be shortly. My Twitter feed full of UK women (and TERFy men) lights up around now, i.e. their morning.

Should be a nice few hours of supportive tweets then before all hell breaks lose when the Americans wake up. Got to love TERF Island.

Yes, it's a nice dose of sanity to end the day, assuming I choose to end the day thinking about any of this.

More idiots than you could poke a stick at, as we say down under

It’s shake a stick at where I’m from. I love how expressions differ around the world.

A former BBC journalist:

A few days ago a QC compared males ‘persuading’ lesbians into bed to the dismantling of Apartheid. The head of Stonewall thinks gays = racist. An MP thinks sex organs are randomly distributed. Now Bragg says recognising biological sex = Holocaust. Is everyone on drugs? 🤷‍♂️

They should be on drugs. Anti-psychotics to be specific.
