Meanwhile, over on the Popjustice forum, pop music lovers have been deliberating whether or not to cancel Sophie Ellis-Bextor for recently interviewing Hadley Freeman on her podcast. https://forum.popjustice.com/threads/sophie-ellis-bextor-songs-from-the-kitchen-disco.72140/page-53

The most astonishing bit is this part where a transgender forum administrator takes a transgender man to task and threatens to ban him for playing devil's advocate and sticking up for Sophie.

Funny how it's always the trans women who are aggressive and petulant in these conversations, and the trans men who somehow manage to keep a reasonable and level head. I wonder why that is.

The trans guy's thoughtful and reasonable explanation of his viewpoint attracts the type of nuanced responses we're used to by now, when people speak sense. One user accuses him of being a Hadley Freeman sock account. Another one says "barf".

Another of the more "calm" forum users arrives to suggest that Sophie might not have even been aware of Hadley's TERF credentials, which doesn't go down well with the next poster, who seems to be frothing at the gash for a witch-burning.
