Oh and I've called 'em. They put me through a phone tree for 10 minutes which told me I didn't need to speak to them because I can just update from my online account! Here's the link! We'll text it to you! How... do I log into an account I don't have?

I can only assume the Student Loans Company don't actually need my address since they've made it impossible for me to update it. "You can just log into your account." I took this loan out in 2001, guys. There wasn't an online system.

Maybe the blood donation service in the UK would work better if you sent out emails about blood drives that contained any accurate information whatsoever? Just a thought.

You mean like you do with trans women? Yeah, you are the problem, actually.

Freedom of speech is the most powerful feature of our democracy. If you’re calling for women to shut up and wishing they didn’t exist, you are the problem.

The danger of developing any admiration for columnists is that, generally, when they turn out to have a bigotry around people like you it feels quite personal. It shouldn't, of course: Guardian writers hate trans people, grass is green.

Perhaps it is an unnecessary reminder but opinion columnists are not journalists. They are not bound by journalistic ethics and they do not report news with any requirement of factual accuracy. They are entertainers or provocateurs and they're not a place to get information.
