    A couple years ago, when I was writing for American Dad!, I needed an Arabic speaker for a small part. Our casting director recommended a Saudi comedian, who happened to be in LA for a couple months shooting a tv show. His name is Fahad Albutairi.

    "A clear majority support the leadership's position. You will not find that on a single media outlet." That's because even the Sunday Sport knows that 47% isn't a majority. This is Diane Abbott territory.

    So: is there no one in the GC movement who could give some PR / strategy / comms advice? Maybe suggest some tactics that aren't toxic? Win some allies? Turn the tide? You're the ones saying 2+2=4 The other side is saying 2+2=platypus WHY ARE YOU LOSING? end/7

    More and more I'm seeing the only difference between TRAs and GC feminists is that GC feminists happen to be right about Material Reality. Otherwise you're the same The problem with that is the TRAs are better at it than you. And yet still you try to fight fire with fire 6/

    Josh posted a personal tweet - about painting nails and wearing dresses and thinking about gender identity. For this crime, Gender Critical Twitter decided to *eviscerate* him. No attempt at engagement or even debate from the <squints> GC academics, lawyers and journalists 2/

    A brief rant about the debacle, and general Gender Critical Feminism Disclaimer: I knew Josh at uni. But I don't think we've spoken since c. 2005 and I can't imagine we'd have anything but dim memories of each other. I hope he doesn't mind my saying the following. 1/
