   what's your most petty obscure literary claim to fame? mine is that mark fisher wrote vampire castle about me (and some other women) for saying russell brand was a cunt and in no way some sort of leftist icon.

     @goatsarah I know the feeling, and tbh they probably would have just fixated on someone else

     @goatsarah @stavvers to be fair, that is pretty cool.
     When I was getting through the Mauritania border this March on the motorbike, I did drop into conversation that my brother once played for Leeds United. I didn’t mention it was the juniors…

     @goatsarah @stavvers Not a literary claim, but similar to yours.

     I revealed on Twitter that a group at The Open University had started the "Open University Gender Critical Network" or OUGCN.

     That created a whole storm that lasted for a very long time, with my name & tweets being listed in Professor Phoenix's crowdfunder for legal dispute, etc.

     Basically a whole bunch of the prominent academic transphobes piled on me.

     Super fun.

     @goatsarah @stavvers Nah, I don't think it was you... This is really, seriously the work of a massive coordinated right wing effort to erode civil rights for all minorities. It just happens that trans people were the easiest ones to pick on first.
