DUDE. Pay fucking attention. Look at how “the trans community” has been treating us – women – for the past ten or more years. We’re not the bullies here. Furthermore, trans people aren’t the poor unfortunate neglected bedraggled starved tortured victims here, either. Trans people have been sanctified while women have been kicked to the curb and had our rights given away to people who don’t need them. What about us you soppy callous clueless git?
I am, I suppose (for I dislike being tied down to some particular ‘ideology’), a Social Democrat in the Karl Polanyi mould, but I’m afraid I had little time for Corbyn (though he seems to have been a good MP for his constituents). The constant querulous appeals to great moral ideals while ignoring realities, his rushing to the defence of Russia after the Salisbury poisonings, his sitting on the fence over Brexit… I shan’t go on.
I used to think Corbyn was one of the good guys. His economics were close to mine. His “anti-semitism” was a Murdochian beat up.
But Jesusfuckingchristonapogostick – on this, he really is a soppy callouus clueless git.
So did I.

To be clear, my assumption that Corbyn was one of the good guys was pure assumption, aka lazy and ignorant.
