Everybody's got opinions, but that doesn't make them true.

So today is Halloween. I don’t celebrate it back home, but I thought I might give it a try.
And apparently when it comes to scaring a bunch of angry climate crisis deniers - I don’t even have to dress up!! #trickortreat

@corbin_dewitt This is such a wonderful thread, thank you!

@kaylani1996 @ActivismMens @jameelajamil @loisdum You can argue with people without calling them stupid, you know. Clearly a lot of people share my feelings, are we ALL stupid? Of course there should be different groups for different reasons, it's who is in those groups and what they do that is important.

[Rosalind Scott @rosiescott88]

@kaylani1996 @ActivismMens @jameelajamil @loisdum According to your logic, groups like alt right and men's rights groups are not oppressive to women and minorities - they just exist to protect the rights of men and white people - and lgbt, minority and feminist groups are no different from them. And that's not true.

@ActivismMens @kaylani1996 @jameelajamil @loisdum Especially as being told you're dangerous and having your existence threatened is part of a history that the community all share.

[Rosalind Scott @rosiescott88]

@ActivismMens @kaylani1996 @jameelajamil @loisdum I don't know tbh. I just feel this group is unnecessarily exclusive and cruel. And if I were trans and had felt like part of a community my whole life and then discovered that some in that community thought of me as dangerous wanted to deny my existence I would be hurt.

@SoapboxLiberal @belivetsgloves @jameelajamil Far as I know she won one significant race (after losing many times, as all athletes do) and was immediately damned for it by people like you - seems like lose-lose. Athletes have physical advantages and disadvantages of all kinds, and there's not enough research on this yet.

[Rosalind Scott @rosiescott88]

@MarieHaskins @jameelajamil We're all different. Your experiences are different to mine it doesn't make either of us less a woman. We share the fact that we live as women, call ourselves women and don't want people to define what we can and can't do BECAUSE we're women. We share those things with transwomen

[Rosalind Scott @rosiescott88]

@belivetsgloves @jameelajamil Look at the state of women's sports? This argument makes me tired. Do you honestly think there's a man out there so determined to get an extremely hypothetical edge in a sport that he'll live as a woman his whole life and undergo life-changing medical treatments? Seriously??

[Rosalind Scott @rosiescott88]

@msjenniferjames @Pixelfish @jameelajamil Do you put this much energy into harassing men on twitter just for bein men? As you say you're infinitely more likely to be attacked by a man than by another woman, and unless you're insulting every man on twitter for having a penis I'm going to have to assume you're just a bigot

REMEMBER : Clocks go BACK tonight.

If you're a Tory, back to 1953.
If you're Ukip, back to 1932.

If you're Jacob Rees-Mogg. back to 1741.

And of course if you're Nigel #Farage you just demand that clocks 'Go Back Where They Came from'.

[Rosalind Scott @rosiescott88]

@jbouie I agree with everything you said... still think it's awesome though.

@thelindsayellis @PhilosophyTube His talent, bravery and intelligence give me hope. We're so lucky to have you, Oliver
