Just a reminder that if you parrot the line “let women speak” over and over again, then get angry when Sandi Toksvig says something you don’t agree with, it shows that it’s not women’s voices you want to hear, just transphobes’.

Like many of us who saw it, this was one of the most formative acting performances of our lives. There are few actors who could carry this off. RIP Adrian Schiller
Proof that the best acting doesn’t always take place on stage, or on a multi million dollar film set. This freaked me out as a child, but looking back now, all I see is an insane bit of acting. In 30 seconds, Adrian performs a blinder. And it’s just for an ad. Amazing.

All who defend Maya Forstater’s transphobia as “she’s just defending women,” need to see that she doesn’t care about women either. She cares for nobody and nothing, other than herself and her own publicity.
Three months ago I ate only 8 waffles over 4 days, behind on rent, & cried in my bathroom when my period started because I had one tampon left and no money to buy more. “Adult women need to buy, carry, remember sanpro” is such degrading erasure of what life can actually be like.
