I don't enjoy the psychic pain these terfs continue to inflict (as well as actual material and political pain) but i do appreciate those twitter threads. I'm on holiday and i got time to block the terfy ones in the qt.

Mods: can we have an archive link for the article instead of linking to a transphobic publication?

Also, it may be time to consider a policy of banning direct links to the Guardian from the Blue.

As rongorongo's link shows it is not the Guardian alone, and it is now primarily The Daily Mail, Times and Telegraph that publish TERF articles, but I don't think many people here post direct links to those papers.
