As an English person, I'm very happy to say that your reading of this very simple, easily comprehended, anecdote, is not somehow being totally deformed by you being an American.

Despite what many other English people in this thread (and many, many, insufferable people here generally) like to think, there is no such thing as a "uniquely English" sense of irony that's untranslatable.

For some reason, whenever someone gets weirdly aggressively provincial at me, like actually angry that I'm an American and saying that means I don't understand British stuff, they are a TERF One click to their timeline and there's always a transphobic tweet right up top

Such a strange, strange correlation It literally never fails It goes the other way too, like when I was trapped in a TERF hellthread and this lady first accuses me of "paedophilia" out of nowhere then snarks at me Americans can't spell that word

Transphobia has at this point fully become a toxic British identity thing, like it's a specific feature of their right wing in particular they take pride in It's like Americans and gun rights

Well, it is largely left-wing feminists pointing out potential conflicts with women's rights to single-sex spaces, sports etc. and was kicked off because the right-wing government was proposing to relax rules around obtaining a GRC etc.

Ah, yes, and in such a short time your movement has won a stunning victory, putting lifelong socialist and civil rights activist Liz Truss in power against the will of the rabidly pro-trans Tory machine Only a truly grassroots organizing effort could've beat the odds like this
