There are a lot of things people get wrong about trans women but "making this space welcoming to cis men will make it more welcoming to trans women!" is I think the most wrong and also most common thing that a lot of folks are maddeningly attached to.

Nigel Farage says allegations he said "Hitler was right" while a pupil at Dulwich College and "gas 'em all" to Jewish schoolmates are "maybe solidifying our core support".
Which is quite a revealing comment.

Again these people aren't patriots.
They hate our country and are allied to others who hate it too.
Nothing will ever be achieved by seeking to appease them

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I had already come to the conclusion that I didn’t feel able to visit the US anymore, and if this happens I presumably wouldn’t be able to even if I wanted to.
I find this as sad as I do bizarre. I would never have imagined I could ever feel the way I do now about the United States of America.

I really cannot stand Corbyn, for so so many reasons, but this is a fair argument, and one which can be expanded to "if so and so had done this", just look at the meltdown Obama wearing a tan suit caused the American right.
Imagine the reaction to allegations that Corbyn had made hissing gas noises to Jewish kids as a schoolboy - and then if he had responded to those allegations by shouting 'Bernard Manning!' at the journalists
The radio silence about Farage from people who are usually supremely vocal about antisemitism is so so telling.
