Hi Kate! Have you done even one piece of research about this site yet? The one you keep loudly demanding is tailored to your demands?

I read it, didn't see the point. She says a digital town square isn't possible, having complained there isn't one. She says this place is left-centre, fair enough but not worth a column. There was no insight or points of interest. However, agree about some of the vitriol.

It is not. Amusingly, the person complaining is causing the thing they're complaining about.

Oh no won't somebody think of the poor transphobic journalists 😭😭😭
