If journalists did what they were meant to we wouldn't be in this mess

I think it is worse than that. Rather than being properly state-run they just pander to the state and do what they assume they want. This often leads them to go further than the state ever would

Yes and then Vance. Or Stephen Miller. Or...so many to choose from

For those sorts of people there are no bad actions, only bad intentions. The mere fact of being a leftie or liberal is the crime, and being right wing is righteous and so nothing they do for that cause is wrong

It just plays into the hands of the people who don't think we deserve better. Why can't Labour offer more? Why can't we show how weak their shit is by not voting for them? If you always vote for the lesser of two evils nothing ever gets better. How else do you show you aren't happy with the options?

OK why do you think we can't have better? And why is it the voter's fault there is nothing worth voting for?
Do you not see that constantly settling for "better than the Tories" and nothing more has led us to where we are now, not any specific election?

But again, why are you blaming the chooser rather than the choice? Why this hanging on to the idea that we can't get and don't deserve better?

Funny how these people blaming voters for letting the right into power were pretty quiet when every centrist on the country was saying not to vote for Corbyn

The lesser of two evils is still evil. All it does is move everything to the right, as we have seen in America and Britain.
Instead of blaming voters why not blame the politicians who offer nothing to most people

Again, citation needed. You throw out this stuff without backing it up in any way at all. You are spouting second (at best) hand bullshit and claiming it is fact. Why is it so important for you to deny the lived existence of a marginalised group of people? Bored with your bigotry now, bye

Also also, Semenya is a woman

But also, what sex was Semenya "observed" to have at birth?

I didn't say anything about Semenya. Some people are born with something other than XX or XY chromosomes. Some people who are assigned, or observed, as female at birth have chromosomes other than XX. The biology we are taught at school is necessarily simplified so as to be teachable w/o confusion

So what about women and men who have different chromosomes to the ones traditionally used to identify men and women? Sex is only observed by external observation, and that doesn't always match chromosomes. It is, like most things, more complicated than that

If you can explain "sex" and how people are assigned one at birth without extensive tests

How about "If you use the word "cockwomble" you should be pushed into a slurry pit"? I think that is an acceptable way

Here's me thinking that it was the right wing press constantly misrepresenting us and taking ridiculous stories and presenting them as representative but all the while it was because I don't know the correct way to use "cockwomble"
