It's their killer word because sometimes it's true and so the person backs down. If you're not transphobic and you're just listening to other people, it shouldn't bother you. It's self reflection that makes people flee sometimes

Domino effect. So many others caving in... What's a guy to do?

With all this "wrong side of history" talk the likes of Owen Jones espouse it's difficult to not be made to feel like a war criminal for asking questions. Like his war on trans tweet today. People really aren't really sure it's not a thing. It's the Emperors new clothes

People are scared to be that first big voice to say no. You know there'll be a backlash. You've only got to look at what's happened in the last week

It's tiny steps forward. It's so entrenched people don't even think. I'm a woman aren't I? Yeah, sure. They're not thinking about what it means. Reapplying practical thinking to conventional kindness from time to time is good. Like kids not taking sweets from even a kind stranger

Eh? BP's got a great record for speaking out over the past. Perhaps *relating* to women is a step too far for him - and certainly his tweets today have a whiff of patronizing sexism to them. He's done braver things in thee past, but I guess he's getting older... quiet life, etc.

He's just got to remember that doing the right thing isn't the same as being kind. He knows this but he's not applying it here. He may genuinely be conflicted. It's that cognitive dissonance we all talk about.

Exactly. He's got an amazing track record. He has been a truly inspirational man. I wish he still could/can be.
