    should go without saying that any journalist who calls out the rampant transphobia within the industry should not be forced into an apology, no matter how clumsy that calling out was.

        also the 'high powered columnists on Twitter' industrial complex doubling down to defend one of their own when they face criticism for this sort of thing is never, ever a good look.

        But unsubstantiated and abusive claims throughout the night are okay with you then? Perhaps defamation laws made for a rethink

        So the calling out of misogyny and demands for an apology were merely 'clumsy' too then, aye?

        An alternative take would be that @helenlewis is simply a journalist whose position on women’s issues you don’t share; and that rather than engage in debate you throw around emotive terms of abuse. Is that possible?

        “TWAAANSPHOBIA” Get a new line. This is so played. Oh boohoo. The women wouldn’t roll under the bus voluntarily. Men want to product their daughters. We are all sick of the Church of Gender. Your cries of heretic are boring now.pic.twitter.com/B5ogBPayts
