General twittering policy:
I don't block people just for disagreement - open honest dialogue is good.
I will walk away from exchanges when it's clear you're being goady, disingenuous, avoiding rationality or are clearly too stupid to engage with. I don't have time to fix you.
@chrisbrennan752@BBCNews if this appeal is granted then we all should. Every single one of us. either the M/F in passports indicates biological sex, in which case I'm F, or it indicates which set of sexist stereotypes you conform to, in which case only sexists even have one.
@BBCNews wouldn't it be more proportionate to just clarify that M/F on a passport is only a biometric marker like fingerprints/retinal patterns, just presence/absence of a Y chromosome in DNA - not a record of gender, which is different, immeasurable & therefore irrelevant to passports.

There are 10,600 followers of @AllianceLGB on twitter. Even if only half of those are supporters rather than onlookers, the goal to get the Alliance running would be met if all supporters gave just £6. There is real power in numbers. Please give. https://t.co/2wQHNFnt35
@AllianceLGB@AllianceLGB just saw the JustGiving has been frozen again - is there anything we can do to help? Presumably they are being swamped with complaints from the homophobia wing of the trans lobby? Would contacts from supporters make a difference?

It’s great that we’re growing so fast, with over 10,000 followers. Let’s grow faster! Please RT if you support the rights of people who are same-sex attracted and if you believe we need a respectful, fact-based discussion with those who prioritize the notion of gender identity.

@cosmic_dyke I don't read much feminist theory, but I know not all feminists agree with eachother on every opinion. Not knowing who got called a fake feminist & why, it's difficult to comment further. Someone correctly called non-feminist or fake-feminist is sexist, that's the opposite word
@Transgendertrd 7.53 billion is the correct current count. Obviously it is therefore silly to have any services, opportunities or facilities reserved for any specific gender. It is fine to have specific services, opportunities or facilities allocated by sex though as there are only 2 of those.
@jackappleby Go to Waterstones Picadilly and just enjoy being surrounded by that many books. You don't have to buy any but you may find that your credit card accidentally falls out of your hand into the hand of someone standing at a till while you are holding a stack of your 20 favourites.
@cosmic_dyke What definition are you using for the word "feminist" to say that you aren't one though? I'm pretty sure that you don't mean that you believe those born with female bodies are intrinsically inferior to, and deserve oppression by, those born with male bodies.
@growinThroughIt When this happens for males taking Estrogen, the tissue isn't appearing out of nowhere. Like male nipples, the tissue is already there in undeveloped form & the Estrogen allows it to swell & grow. If you had surgery to remove developed tissue then it's not there & can't grow.
