To me this “race race” is the cause of almost every global problem we have. We already don’t have enough food and air for everyone on the planet but these people are encouraging more breeding/consuption in order to compete in a make believe genetic war.

Barring in mind I was being childish and argumentative before, let me carry on for a minute. Would self-loathing make a trans person transphobic? Wouldn’t that require hating other trans people too? You don’t have to answer it’s a stupid question.

You think so? You said you can’t have one without the other. So by your definition a racist trans person would also be transphobic.

No doubt. My hope is that they all find solace on the pitch. For a couple of hours a week they can just think about kicking a ball about and nothing else. When my wife passed, watching Liverpool was a lifeline for me. I could escape my own head for a bit. I hope it works for them too.

I feel like the healthy next step has to be letting this drift into the background now. Grief is painful. To be reminded of it every time they go to work has to be taking a mental and physical toll. We don’t need to forget, we just need to remember in our own way.
