Either send a 5 word text and get back to hurrying to get there or, if you missed the bus or something and want to spend the wait sending something cute to your wife, compose the joke yourself and get the benefit of interacting with the human you supposedly love.

JK Rowling will not rest until she has eliminated trans people from the public sphere. I get furious when I remember pseudo-liberals insisting to me that she wasnβt a bigot and had been terribly defamed. Presumably theyβve got the message by now

I think it really should be emphasised that what happened here is a tall woman approached a 14 year old to ask if she needed help, and the mother, not the girl, freaked out and is now calling for a ban on trans people being allowed to work with kids.
