‘A hoot’. I still remember the hoot of talking to a suicidal EU citizen; the hoot of when Brexiters on Twitter spent days discussing my breasts; the hoot of police chasing one of my stalkers down the street; the hoot of not going to events on my own for years. …Honestly: how could you publish that?
