So the candidate who left school at 16 with no A-Levels and who's spent her whole adult life vocational, manual jobs beat the ivory tower academic turned cushy media pundit, but you can be sure we'll still get plenty more casual description of the latter as "white working class".

Nearly a year into many trans people in the UK being forced to use disabled toilets or asked to work from home pending legal advice and stuff and I haven't seen a single "Izzy's boss told her she has to use a disabled toilet, here's how she feels about it" piece in the papers.

For some context: Jonathan Myrick Daniels was from NH. Episcopal seminarian in the 1960s, he decided to join the Freedom Riders in AL. He was killed by a shopkeeper when he stepped between him and a little Black girl. Shopkeeper was aiming a shotgun at the girl, and shot him instead.

It sure is something watching Girl Guides protest the exclusion of their trans members, at the same time as the BBC pushes someone out for being a trans ally and routinely updates their news articles to insert transphobic terminology.

The story of Goodwin's "radicalisation" has an exculpatory function, sparing the blushes of those who couldn't see the obvious problems with his output ten years ago. All that really happened with him is he became emboldened by the endless indulgence of people who really should have known better.
