    @suzanne_moore I loved your piece on anger - except for the shock transphobia ("a Brazilian transsexual") - why on earth did you include it?

    @suzanne_moore calling someone "a transsexual" is like calling someone "a gay" - really creepy. "Trans woman" would've been better but...

    @suzanne_moore ... why include it at all? It's v weird & leaves a v nasty taste. Trans women deserve solidarity, not implicit shaming.

    @jonanamary I use the word transexual. I use lots of 'offensive' words. If you want to be offended it your prerogative.

    @suzanne_moore "offence" isn't the problem. Transphobia is. Transphobia *kills*. & intersectional feminism *demands* that we be in…

    @suzanne_moore …solidarity with trans* women & their cause. Pretty basic stuff. V disappointed that you delib misunderstood my point.

    @jonanamary dont "demand" of me. Transphobia is your term. I have issues with trans anything actually.

    Haha now @Suzanne_Moore thinks my issue with her transphobic comment is that I'm "offended". Um, nope. Try again.

    @suzanne_moore that's vile. Utterly vile. I am astonished, and feel quite sick. Bigotry is revolting & (foolishly?) I expected better.
