Meanwhile on The Other Website, a transphobe has decided to go into a friend's comment thread & inform me that while Andrew Windsor is 'a PoS' it's OK that he's walking free & going on publicly funded parades bc the kid he raped wasn't a baby at the time.
@scriblit There is such a thing as taking the expression the enemy of my enemy is my friend too far. But WTAF.
@kevin They were doing a 'what if Ian Watkins were trans' shit whataboutery take & we were all doing other 'what if Ian Watkins were something he's not?' shit whataboutery takes & I did 'what if he were the Queen's son? He'd be going on parades' & the phobes lost their shit
@scriblit You are a braver person than me diving into that sewerage.
@kevin It just infuriates me how the people who want to persecute a minority (& likely move on to all LGBT+ ppl, let's face it) due to sex crimes in their imagination (or imagining a cismale criminal was trans) seeing to be weirdly fine with actual sex crimes & actual sex criminals getting protected by patriarchal establishments.
@scriblit absolutely. Just having been on the receiving end of their abuse a couple of times, I am definitely cautious about dipping my toe back in the sewer.
