Will be flying JFK-Heathrow soon. I’ll be sure to have my phone filled with tubby J.D. Vance pics as well as jokes about trans people.
Why is the BBC throwing up a paywall? Aren’t they funded by TV taxes?
Transphobia rots your brain.
>The first post, from his X feed, called it a “violent, abusive act” for a trans-identified male to be in a female-only space. He suggested: “Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails punch him in the balls.”
>He then wrote on Substack that during his police interview following the arrest, “I explained that the ‘punch’ tweet was a serious point made with a joke”, and that it was about “the height difference between men and women… and certainly not a call to violence”.

Imagine being arrested for an off color joke on Twitter.
>Linehan said in an online article on Substack that his bail condition stipulates he is “not to go on Twitter”
this is essentially capital punishment for this man
