You weren’t fired.

posts that were offensive and were intended to incite discrimination.


And whatever else it may have been, it was most certainly NOT because you wee “standing up for women’s rights.” None of the examples you have given, nor anything else about the anti-trans


campaign has anything to do with women’s rights — unless you think that the few thousand trans women (amongst a total of more than 30 million women and girls in the UK) make a significant


difference to the length of queues outside women’s loos.
