     @WDI_USA Back when I was on twatter I engaged with an activist who had the whole raft of failed arguments (clownfish, liking pink, ladybrain, wrong body etc) and this one (he thought) was his trump card. He eventually went with *but if you won't let a man in the women's toilets, it's discrimination* and that was the best he had.
     Bless.
     It is a sign of how we have all failed at education that we even need to have this discussion, valuable as it is.
     These people should have been told many moons ago that their arguments were shit and to come back when they grew a brain. Now they infest everything because nobody was brave enough to tell them that they were either too stupid or disingenuous to be granted positions of power and influence.

     @KeepTakingTheSoma @WDI_USA Personally, I was amused by people thinking fish biology explained primate biology, but right after I joined twitter, I knew I had to find the "adults in the room".

     We have failed at education quite dramatically.

     @LostInCalifornia @WDI_USA My first twatter spat was a woman who told me that people in Africa didn't believe there were two sexes until whitey colonised them and imposed it.
     When I questioned it she told me it was evidence of my racism because the paper was written by a woman of colour so it must be true because it was her lived experience.
     Where to start?

     @KeepTakingTheSoma @WDI_USA Welp, I went straight at mermaids. Made the first terf BlockList.

     It is a good thing I vary between impatience with stupidity and amusement. Well, maybe it's not, but I try to make it work.
