The EU isn't punishing the UK for Brexit. We are punishing ourselves. Losing all the benefits of EU membership IS punishment. Just like no longer being able to use the fitness equipment or the weights is punishment for quitting the local gym. 2/19
You might well put on weight because you cancelled your gym membership. But you wouldn't turn around and say "Hey, the gym's punishing me for leaving by making me fat!" That's the consequence of losing your gym membership, not the fault of the gym. 3/19

Right so - I have seen, over and over and over again, trans excluding feminists treat with contempt, disdain, and disbelief the FACT that almost of half trans children attempt suicide and/or self harm. And they need to be called on it.
Terfs, as a rule, will rubbish, dismiss and disbelieve ANYTHING which humanises trans people. It is why they cling so vociferously to the pathologising framing of trans people, and particularly trans women, as mental degenerates. It is why they play UP anything which fits that..
framework (such as the outdated 'trans as mental illness model' as promoted by Blanchard for example). They NEED people to doubt anything which shows that trans people are just human beings, trying to live their lives. The last thing they want is for people to see that..
