1./ Your daily reminder the gender identity movement is full of fantasists and doesn't give a fig about the truth. @naomirwolf has been talking cobblers for years. Every time you think she can't get more bonkers she promptly does. Her latest fruitcakery tho takes some beating.👇
2./ In between other anti-vaxx baloney she now claims vaccination may trigger unusual bleeding in women nearby. It's lunacy. Yet when she slammed @ALLIANCELGB and UK feminists she was lauded by Pink News, Nicolson, Blunt and the rest of the gender Adams Family as an authority. 👇
3./ Here's Tatchell, celebrating Naomi's intervention. Hilariously, he cites the claims of Professor Wolf of the University of Totally Made-Up BS that the defence of single sex spaces is FACTUALLY baseless. As if Naomi has more than a passing acquaintance with...the FACTUAL.👇
4./ Here she is in full high horse mode, denouncing @ALLIANCELGB as 'hateful'. Not only that she claims it's a Koch brothers funded anti-trans group. Evidence? Almost as much as she has for her claims that vaccines mysteriously make women bleed nearby, ie absolutely none.👇
5./ Naomi's considered such a global champion of the trans agenda she's regularly invited to sound off as at this event only 4 months ago at Doughty Street Chambers which celebrated the 20th anniversary of the lowering of the age of consent for gay men .👇 doughtystreet.co.uk/event/great-ni…
6./ It's not as if Helena Kennedy, Tatchell and other participants didn't have any previous warning Naomi has a strained relationship with reality. Over the years she's made so many mad claims the NY Times referred to her "career of blunders". 👇nytimes.com/2019/06/05/boo…
7./ Wolf has claimed a woman's brain can WILL her to become pregnant even if she's on contraception and that writing a letter to a breech baby can induce it to turn the right way up. Maybe it's no surprise the science of vaccination (or anything scientific) eludes her.
8./ Helena Kennedy who chaired the Doughty event gave fulsome tribute to Naomi. Her support goes back a long way, including this astonishing defence of Wolf's widely ridiculed book that was so inaccurate it was pulped by its US publisher. It was Kennedy who fact-checked the book.
9./ The one error Kennedy mentions happened to be the book's central claim. Dozens of gay men were NOT executed by the Victorians as Wolf claimed. She recently tried tho to defend her daft book by conflating gay men with paedophiles. Even Pink News -to its credit- was offended👇
10./ Kennedy, who continued to applaud Wolf even after her glaring error was revealed, has now been appointed to investigate the best way to add misogyny to the SNP's Hate Crime Bill. She's already made clear "women" include those born male. Obviously. theguardian.com/law/2021/feb/2…
11./ What does all this prove? Only that the gender identity movement doesn't actually care about the truth. As long as Naomi Wolf parroted the usual nonsense about the sex spectrum, kids born in the wrong body and soaring trans suicide rates they considered her a genius.
12./ But those claims are no more evidence-based than the other wisps of smoke flirting around Naomi's brain and her other madcap imaginings. Ironically, it is her very carelessness with facts that makes Naomi the perfect mascot of this delusional movement.
13./ Any rational movement would have distanced itself from Naomi but it still applauds her as an authority on LGBTQ+ despite some of stuff this mighty "progressive" has said recently. Here she retweets a claim the war on COVID is a follow on from Blair's War on Terror.😂👇
14./ Here she retweets a claim that giving out vitamin pills, zinc and Trump's totally discredited "cure" of hydroxychloroquine would have been a more effective strategy against the pandemic. This is beyond dangerous bollocks.👇
15./ She's claimed Moderna's vaccine is a software platform designed with "nano-patticles" that would receive digital software updates. Uh? She hasn't a clue. Here she retweets a call for Fauci to be fired and arrested. I've interviewed Fauci. He's a mensch and a great scientist.
16./ We'll no doubt be told soon that Naomi's dangerous, unscientific promotion of conspiracy theories are quite separate from her brave championing of an extreme trans agenda. They're not. The truth is they come from the same deep pool of ignorance, stupidity and narcissism.
