In solidarity with Christina Ellingsen the Norwegian woman facing up to 3 years in prison for the ‘hate crime’ of saying men can’t be lesbians, I’ll say it too: MEN CAN’T BE LESBIANS - no matter how they identify. TWAM. TWAM. TWAM.

So @mcashmanCBE has decided that Rosie Duffield’s fears for her safety after she received dozens of rape & death threats are because she is ‘frit’ or ‘lazy’. Cashman - you are a thick, vile, misogynist, pig & if @Keir_Starmer had even the semblance of a backbone you’d be expelled.

It’s time to knock this ‘feel safe’ nonsense on the head. It never means physical safety. It’s wanting to exist in a world where no-one has a different opinion to you, challenges your views directly or indirectly, or refuses to go along with the lies you live. It’s ludicrous.

I support the retention of ‘Spousal Consent’ when granting GRCs. It means - that pple, usually women whose partner has ‘transitioned’ cannot be trapped in what would be in law a same-sex marriage. That is fair & just. If trans people don’t like it - they can get divorced.
