Sure, homophobia and transphobia are topics that I will be writing about going forward and definitely feature in this series on trolling and the spectrum of sadism.

These claims are like a zombie that just won't die. Gender critical people seem to dig them up and let them shamble around every few years since they are desperate to fabricate something showing that trans women are somehow a threat to cis women and girls when there is no credible evidence to support that.

They tried this in 2017/2018 and again 2020/2021 so it's like a Halley's comet of Prejudice that visits roughly every 3 years because they think we will have forgotten. Here's a UK example from 2018: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-42221629

Yeah. As soon as I hit 'comment' I was like: DURRRRH. Frothing at the mouth about other peoples bits is their whole raison d'être 🤷♂️

A succinct, thought provoking and well written article as always Paul. Thank you. Anne
