I didn’t know that about the personal letter- from memory it was also the members of the student union who wouldn’t speak to her either but it’s been a while since I’ve read it too.
Yeah people can be really rude if you admit you’re religious - one of the managers at a law firm I worked at years ago said, “gee, I thought you’d be smarter than that.” Stuff like that doesn’t worry me now, because I’m a grown-ass woman, but it did used to upset me when I was younger- I was a convert, so paid a fairly high price in terms of my family relationships to choose my religion- I tend to look at the trans debate through that lens, which may or may not be fair - so while I think any trans person deserves respect and safety, I don’t they’re entitled to be agreed with, even where the disagreement relates to a fundamental part of their identity. Because if I have to put up with it, so do they- it’s the price we pay for living in a free and fair society.
