Fifty, female and furious - it just can’t be that hard to be a decent human but somehow the worst people seem to be the most amplified (looking at Trump/Farage etc)

Exactly this. The media just keeps fanning the flames and there’s a giddiness amongst them with no thought to the outcome. Utterly irresponsible- Like Brexit all over again with the promise of a new but in reality the same chaos and damage. God it’s depressing.

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5. Today it’s 0.7%. Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why. Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

If you don't know, this was the tweet: " “If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.” This is not only hate speech, it is also the definition of incitement to violence.
