Yeah I'm just waiting at this point for UK Twitter to wake up and start yelling about how Robert Webb is a decent man who was "ambushed" for his political views etchttps://twitter.com/JesseThorn/status/1381974104593473542 …

Le Canard Noir @lecanardnoirThis is painful, where a US interviewer talking to Robert Webb brings up that his child in kindergarten came out as ‘transgender’ and asks him about Mermaids in the UK. Kindergarten. Came out. In Kindergarten. 42:00 into interview. https://maximumfun.org/episodes/bullseye-with-jesse-thorn/david-mitchell-and-robert-webb/ …Show this thread3 replies 2 retweets 50 likesShow this thread -

One of the dumbest things about engaging with TERFs is their obnoxious and incomprehensible grammar/usage quibbles, like the time they all piled on me for mixing up "bring" with "take"

It’s part of the same neurolinguistic virus that causes the British to say “washing up liquid” instead of “dish soap”

Replying to @TylerMoody @Helenkeenan121
The "bring/take" thing was obnoxious because I was right If I am talking about carrying something to someone else and I'm going with the thing, then it's equally correct to say I'm "bringing" and I'm "taking" the thing

The "bring/take" distinction of "toward the speaker/away from the speaker" only applies if *I'm not the one moving*, "bring him to me" vs. "take him away from me" But ah well, water under the bridge
