Good luck with that...

In other matters, Bindel has rejected the accusation that she is transphobic, and accused us of bullying her here. It is not bullying to make people accountable and people who are not part of a minority do not get to decide whether or not they are oppressing that minority. This is Progressive Politics 1.01 and I would have thought 'a long-time human rights campaigner' would get that.

Ben Summerskill of Stonewall has described our demonstration against him as 'a publicity stunt' as if the same is never true of any demo any time anywhere. An organization named after a riot has become pompous and stuffy - that is the way of the world, I guess.

I would have thought that the single most repeated lesson from the Facebook transactions we had with her was her belief that the victimisation which she wraps around herself gives her the right to determine the meaning of all discussions she has with anybody. The mention of Dr boynton was instructive in her original statement (however veiled) because it hows her using similar tactics on a totally unrelated subject.

She is not threatened, but she runs around saying we threaten her.

She is not libeled, but she runs off to lawyers and issues statements saying she's been libelled.

So it's obvious she cannnot be transphobic. Because she says so, even when her every statement on the subject is definitively so.
