I’ve read your tweet. You state that ‘gender dysphoric children … are mentally ill and need care’. I submit that this is a dangerous generalisation and that the roots of so-called ‘gender dysphoria’ lie in social and familial pressures to conform to rigid concepts of sex-appropriate behaviour. The sickness is primarily in the culture, not the individual child.

Thank you for linking that video. It’s wonderful! I would have loved to have been there, but I can’t really travel at the moment. Besides, I don’t think that Newport could cope with having _two_ stroppy, punk, disabled grannies in the same place at the same time. Might cause a space-time collapse, or something. ;-)

I would have gone, too, but it’s something like five and a half hours on the train with two or three changes, some of them dicey. If I’d had more notice I’d have made it work, but it was almost spur of the moment.
Next time. tigger, we’ll have to organise a protest up your way. Maybe you should get arrested for stickers or something, then I’d be morally obliged to come and shout at the police.

It’s a crazy, crazy world.
This is a “hateful tweet”, apparently.
