    After 5 years Public Inquiry finally admit that the joiner I knew as 'Mark Cassidy' - real name Mark Jenner - was an undercover police officer But fail to mention that he infiltrated my trade union & safety campaigns set up by construction workers

    This is an incredible thread

    I’m a cishet woman who’s been pregnant five times and borne three children. I find a feminism - specifically, transphobic feminism - that defines me as a “real woman” because of those things suffocatingly oppressive.
