Not quite sure which newspaper this is from, but regardless: all of this. Love Sandi Toksvig

especially angry by how many
"radical feminists" attack trans people.
"How could you be so white and privileged and heterosexual and never marginalised in your life yet you decide to punch down on people?"
I say they fear - for example - that trans women will occupy safe spaces meant for women, such as public lavatories. "I don't get this. I'm in my 45th year in showbusiness, travelling the country touring. I've been to every service-station toilet in the country.
Every one has a sign up saying male cleaners in attendance. I don't recall anybody saying, 'We need to group up against these male cleaners. Why would someone dress as a woman when they could just pick up a cleaning cloth? If it really bothers you there's a toilet some place else. Go there. Shut up. Let's join together and fight stuff that actually needs fighting. Why are they talking about this when women in Afghanistan are not allowed to sing or to look a man in the face? Who is benefiting from all this? The patriarchy

Mary Burchell remains one of the most successful romance writers, ever. Over 110 Mills and Boon books to her name. Less well known is that much of her early writing was done for one purpose: Funding her efforts to get Jews out of Nazi Germany, with her sister. Mary is a Righteous Gentile. /1 🧵

I wrote a column about why anyone who says they’re not voting because Kamala Harris sucks need to suck it up and vote anyway. This contains fighting words, but it’s also one of the most sincere things I’ve ever written. I want folks to come together as a “civics Voltron” and fight evil together.

I am deeply worried about how rigged the American democratic system is, but still we must vote.

I think if you described the Trump/Vance campaign to someone in 2014 as a hypothetical everyone would agree this is textbook fascism. But now that it’s actually happening it’s verboten to say so

Everybody I know has been fairly blindsided by this, so maybe this is going to ring hollow, but I want trans women entering SFF to know that lots of us are in camp "fuck off, terfs." The transphobes don't speak for us.
