What a few people said to Suzanne Moore
This is an alternative to the Gender Trender link. The tweets cited in that post are at the bottom of this story.
- First this happened to kick it off. I'm putting this here so people understand the chronology. Gender Trender, by the way, is a horrifyingly violent anti-trans blog- citing it for this situation would be akin to citing a Nick Griffin blog post about a spat between some Muslims angry at a Hitchens piece.

Just Plain Sense: Mending FencesOh dear. There's been a bit of a bust up on Twitter this week. "That's not new", you'll say. And you'd be right. But this one is particul...
