Meet My New Friend!

[clovehitched]

Imagine my delight when I see this turn up in my inbox this Sunday lunchtime:



How truly nice it is to be wanted, but I have no idea why the sudden interest. The S'onewall awards are coming up soon and perhaps they've nominated her for one of their awards for services to canapés again. We don't actually know as they've decided not to publish the list of nominees this year, which was probably easier than going to all the trouble of adopting some sort of pesky anti-transphobia stance in public.

As for the 3 mutual friends, at least two of them are trans activists of my personal acquaintance, presumably keeping tabs on her or something - whatever, *clickety click*. There - ignored.

I had her on my friends list to keep tabs on her, until her recent status update about "being a duck" ("Julie Bindel has decided she is now a duck and demands to be put in the duckpond regardless of the fact she has raped and killed ducks" - a supposedly-humorous take on the recent trans woman who won the right to be housed in a women's prison) and then I couldn't take any more so she went buh-bye.

HOLY GOD.

Someone should call the police - she's obviously mentally unbalanced, and beastiality is a crime! ...

... or maybe the RSPCA. Isn't that the right thing to do when people admit to doing such things as raping and killing ducks?

Tell the fundies. Their fantasies of people wanting to marry animals have come one step closer to reality*


*For certain values of "reality" involving delusional Guarniad writers, and allowing for religiously-inspired "creative interpretation".

And there she objected to cat...fanciers....

So, what about those cis-women that raped and killed other women, that are housed in *gasp* women's prisons?

[hilarityallen.livejournal.com]

Actually, shouldn't have bothered mentioning this, as clearly logic has no place in her world.

[jessie-c.livejournal.com]

They don't exist. Don't you know that women can never rape? They're rendered incapable of it by virtue of possessing The Magical Vagina. Or so I've heard.

And men who rape and murder men and are put in a men's prison...are ok cos men deserve it? Or something?

[phonemonkey.livejournal.com]

Men are always oppressors and women are always victims, and any man who is in prison must automatically be a terrible person who deserves to be raped and murdered.

Or something. I don't live on Planet Bindel.

In English law, that's almost true. See <a href="http://www.statutelaw.gov.uk/content.aspx?ActiveTextDocId=820909>Section 1 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003</a>.

Logic is a tool of Teh Patriarchy.

[jessie-c.livejournal.com]

It must be, because it's a tool.

I saw the thing about duck ... fancying somewhere. Did you post about it?

[quentinwrites.livejournal.com]

Yes, I posted it on my own Facebook (at the same point that I removed her). Hate like that scares the hell out of me.

"Julie Bindel has decided she is now a duck and demands to be put in the duckpond regardless of the fact she has raped and killed ducks"

Well, no problem for me. If only she really could go in a duckpond instead of writing all the transphobic stuff /o\

That was her? At least it is an efficiency of failure; I don't have to be disappointed in any other journalist, and my regard for her is so low already this scarcely dents.
