Lucy Meadows

[steepholm]

I won't link to the various places where the monstering of Lucy Meadows took place three months ago, devastating the life of this devoted teacher and, perhaps, ending it; nor to the places where it is happening right now, as the same prurient rags continue to misname, misgender and humiliate their victim in death - but no doubt you can work out which stones to look under.

I will however link to this interview with David Allen Green [25:20 minutes in], who's a good deal calmer and more articulate than I feel able to be at the moment.

We need to look after each other at the moment, because no one in authority is going to.

I wish there was recourse for this kind of scumbaggery.

I guess the only thing to do is raise our children right.

There may be more direct means of recourse in the future - that's under active discussion here at the moment - but ultimately, yes, you're right. As David Allen Green says, it's a cultural shift that's needed - and Littlejohn wouldn't be pocketing his blood-soaked £1 million per annum if people didn't buy his stuff. But that kind of change takes decades, and people are dying now.

"people are dying now"--that's exactly what makes me wish, hard, for recourse. Nothing is going to help Lucy, poor soul, but I would love to see the sleazebags who monstered her all last year do hard time.

Alas, trans people are excluded from hate crimes legislation anyway...

Harriet Harman (who oversaw the Equality Act) was not keen on trans people.

So many prominent feminists seem to have it in for trans people - a sort of "you can't play in our sandpit" attitude. Very sad.
