FYI - The whole playbook of ‘gender critical’ transphobes is to instigate ‘lawfare’ around trans people existing, then to whip up toxic rhetoric in the media, so they can claim there’s “controversy” around the “trans debate” to lobby politicians not to support trans people’s rights! 😣
But OF COURSE ‘gender critical’ transphobes ALWAYS go for the “I DEMAND to speak to your manager” approach whenever they’re told they’re wrong!😖
And obvs they’ve got a bigoted billionaire to fund their obsessive vexatious ‘lawfare’, plus a radicalised ex-EHRC Board member lawyer to represent them!

Disrupt the “violence comes from emotions running too high” narrative whenever you can.
Patriarchal violence doesn’t come from someone losing control. It comes from someone using a very specific set of tactics to seek more control than they already have.

This is it right here. Law enforcement personnel who move 0 to 60 with their aggression when "executing detention orders" are doing so from learned behavior - it is not instinctual to smash a car window, cut someone's seat belt, drag them out of their car and throw them to the ground. It's taught.
Watching these videos of ICE attacking children, I can’t help but think about how many of these men first practiced their violence in their own homes.
