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

A large number of the people coming at me over this are coming from me being QTed by a literal Baroness who was one of the chief proponents of the invasion of Iraq so you'll forgive my skepticism that I'm being attacked "from the Left"
