Why are you holding your hand out not once but enough times to get a 4 out of 5 stat? Sure, you might have discovered some inherent sexism but I've never seen anyone do this.

As I intimated, Hayden has a history of suing people, is a convicted criminal etc. But anyway, here she is triumphantly announcing her "win" - namely that she has withdrawn her action, but because the case did not reach court, Linehan bears his own costs so it's cost him 28k. Big win for the trans cause that. https://mobile.twitter.com/flyinglawyer73/status/1111340746639138818?lang=en Here's a legal forum take on it, including Linehan's comments and a lovely dig (she now "identifies as a lawyer") https://www.rollonfriday.com/news-content/transgender-lawyer-drops-case-against-father-ted-writer so, sadly, no judgment, but it's only a matter of time.Armitage_Shankburn wrote:This is just a note to myself to look for this case.

I just find that the way he comes across is as a bully, a zealot. That doesnt mean he is wrong or maybe partially right, but I think he can do better. I certainly dont think he helps the discussion (I cant find the guardian article but the Robert Webb one is so much more reasoned.Andy wrote:Show me evidence, people. Not that evidence.
