I've disagreed in the past with Owen Jones about a lot of things, but I don't even care anymore It's really obvious at this point that the one position he holds that would save him the most grief by far if he just shut up about it is trans rights, and he still refuses to do so

Owen Jones deserves a fucking medal for being like the only cis person at a major publication who sees the Lovecraftian horror the TERF hive has become and repeatedly consistently says something about it instead of just closing his eyes hoping it will go away

Because more than all the other things they are, TERFs are a clique with massive power in the halls of traditional UK media and they can and do make anyone miserable who crosses them They're doing their best to make Jones miserable every single day

Yeah I'm not saying cis allies should be elevated or centered above actual trans people, or that Jones is more vulnerable than actual trans people are On the other hand he's got people going to some lengths to *impersonate his dead father online to intentionally traumatize him*

I've been through a fair share of shit myself but holy shit, just, fuck It's another level They really won't stop at anything once they've decided you're fair game (And the "YOU MADE ME SELF-HARM" shit is just as shockingly abusive)
