Wednesday had started fine although the legendary Grump had managed to confuse his going out that day with going out yesterday although the main thing he wanted for Wednesday tea wasn't in and I'd have to get it.
Get back in and have dinner to look at one site and the post of the mornung
Person A initial post: Ed Miliband has vowed to 'double down' on his green energy drive despite fears it could push up prices.
I really loathe that man
My reply: Wherever we may be at personally when it comes to politics there's an general acceptance that the bigger issues at the moment is affordability (to domestic and business customers) and security of supply are more important as much as we'd all like to see better energy efficiency leading to lower usage and lower pollution. There are better alternatives than Mr Milliband has been touting.
Person B adds several hours later straight after my post: "What if instead of energy it was trans issues? Violence against women and girls is more important than men masquerading as women.
We can take away trans rights now and give them back next year... maybe 2030... maybe 2050... oh fuck it, why bother?
Don't mind me."
This site has a high proportion of trans activists and this this person is no exception.
You'll note the conversation had NOTHING to do with trans issues and as we're all aware policy priorities do change over time - politics is often described as the "language of priorities" often in response to world events.
If you wanted an example of the way some peoples actions give rise to the notion that Trans Activism can be toxic there you go.
