He’s a despicable man. In every interview I’ve seen with him, he browbeats and talks over the women.
I suppose he’s claiming that the child on the left was born a boy – oops, sorry, ‘assigned male at birth’ and the child on the right used to be one of those people-who-shan’t-be-named.
I don’t think so, I think he’s just turning them into a metaphor. The replies are uniformly disgusted.

It gets worse. Look what Roz Kaveney has written-sounds like a cross between Judith Butler and Lady Olga Maitland :
“The UK War on Trans is at best parallel to and in some cases promoted by the international panic about trans people weaponized by the enemies of freedom in both the US and Russia.
There is no way that-at this point- GCs can claim to have clean hands. They have been told for five years that their already huge lies enabled the liars in the GOP and the Kremlin.
Please tell us, Roz, how a small, derided group of Old Labour feminists in the UK assisted Trump and Putin.

I knew that it was a metaphor, but couldn’t resist wondering what was going through his mind.
Mostly Cloudy, given that the TRAs refuse to let anyone spell out what exactly constitutes those ‘lies’ on pain of really nasty online and real life abuse, I fail to see that this is anything except DARVO tactics.
Before the tweets were hidden, there was some vaguely threatening stuff about how Suzanne Moore, Janice Turner and Julie Bindel needed to “examine their consciences”

They did not listen.
They are complicit.”

Sorry for pointing out the obvious!
That Kaveny thing…
Kaveney’s hidden her tweets now, after lots of people disagreed with her (including someone claiming to be a trans person).
