No not like THAT

Lawyers are laughing at Jolyon’s lawyering.

See, if you’re defending free speech, that’s what you’re doing. You’re not supposed to say “I think it’s a crock of shit but” first. You can say that in the pub, but not if you’re a university actually defending free speech. Jolyon wants them to scream “WE HATE TERFS” and then mutter “but yes yes free speech” and depart in haste.

Also…Jolyon has been saying he wishes a transphobe would agree to debate him, but it turns out he doesn’t want to.

And yet…and yet…and yet he said he wanted to.

    Why should he let facts get in the way of a good lie? If he could, he’d abandon his pro-TRA stance.

    Sall would wipe the floor with JoMo. Wipe. The. Floor.

    And another thing, just because it really annoys me.

    Look at the way Maugham pretends it’s Sall who wants the debate, when she’s responding to his request for one. And ‘debate’ in scare quotes and everything. He’s pulling out the ‘no debate’ card and playing it to make it look as though Sall wants to debate the very existence of trans people, when in fact he’s only covering for his own cowardice.

    He’s worse than Penny.

    Yeah, I haven’t heard anything about Penny clubbing a fox to death. She may have worn a kimono at some point, but I am not knowledgeable enough about her to be able to speak to that.
