More on Brazil, and this time how our own jolly trans activists managed to add some fuel to the fire(s). What would u do if you were the British Council or Creative Scotland and u were funding an arts festival across Brazil in 2016? You'd surely recognise there was a bitter...
...Culture War underway in which the religious Right were in full froth mode. You'd know trans rights and 'gender ideology' was at the heart of that War. You'd likely note that central to the opposition to "gender ideology" was the accusation that European countries were trying..
..to foist their values on Brazil in a form of latter day colonialism. Wouldn't you wonder if maybe we should tread just a little warily? We could be smart and a little subversive perhaps but we could also focus on some uncontroversial stuff too. Things that might nudge..rather
..kick doors down? But if you're a cultural apparatchik at the British Council or Creative Scotland and you've been brainwashed by Stonewall and its Queer Theory baloney about the importance of creating outrage and celebrating deviance you wouldn't care would you?
You'd dismiss all these doubts and you'd place at the centre of the arts festival you're funding with taxpayers money, a play about a trans Jesus by a transgender playwright. The play called 'The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven' opened amid protests in May 2016. ..
It wasn't long until it was denounced by a politician gaining a name for himself, some bloke called Bolsonaro. As anger mounted, armed guards would eventually have to protect the venues. Here's playwright..
...Jo Clifford blogging about it. The last performance was just before Bolsonaro took power. It's now too dangerous to perform it apparently. theatreanddance.britishcouncil.org/blog/2016/11/w… ...
I'm sure Clifford's play is fascinating. And I'd happily go along and see it. I'd have no objection at all if a private theatre group wanted to fund its tour anywhere. But for holy Pete's sake ..how could it possibly have helped in the middle of a culture war in a highly ..
...religious country for our state funded cultural institutions to sponsor this play? The answer of course is that trans activists driven by Queer Theory precepts believe in provocation. It's why our 'No Outsiders' initiative in this country..
..was launched in a majority Muslim School. Maximum outrage. Maximum provocation. Well, in the end you reap what you sow as someone may or may not have said. Brazil was indeed outraged and Bolsanaro had something else to keep himself on the front pages, something else
..to back his claim that rich secularizing outsiders were using their money to try to change Brazil. When the British Council and Creative Scotland look at Brazil now (if they can see through the smoke that is ) do they pat themselves on the back, and tell each other..
"well that was a very effective use of taxpayer's money". Maybe they do. But you know what as backlash builds over trans activism's arrogance and the way it has wheedled its way into institutions as well as its hamfisted attempts to impose unsupportable and sometimes downright..
...crazy notions on the public both here and abroad, the sooner liberals and the left (and all fairminded tolerant people) cut them loose and tell them 'not in my name'...the better.

1./ Iran's Tran$ Plan. If you want to understand what drives trans ideology look at what's happening in Iran where a new national plan aims to increase revenue from medical tourism six fold; including from the country's booming gender clinics. Why does this matter?
1 of/11.👉Image
2./ In the West, trans activists and gender clinicians often try to disguise their homophobia. In Iran where homosexuality is punishable by death and trans ideology is officially sanctioned there's no such need. Gender clinics effectively offer to save gays. By mutilating them. Image
3./ My article reveals this gruesome money-machine is being boosted as Iran aims to make $6Bn a year from medical tourism. A key role will be played by its competing private gender clinics which are among the busiest in the world. Only Thailand does more 'sex change surgery'. Image

1./ Hezbollah Hypocrisy. It's a scandal a Jewish man was arrested for joking about the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. We should ALL applaud the elimination of this disgusting misogynist and anti-semite. And if you're gay you should especially thank @IDF. Here's why👉
2./ Two years ago Nasrallah called for violence against gays "with no limits". He hated gays so much he urged followers to use slurs rather than the word 'homosexual'. He and Hezbollah's inspiration had long been the rancid bigotry of Ayatollah Khomeini.👇
3./ Hezbollah posters in Beirut often cite the incoherent "thoughts" of this thankfully well dead fruitcake. A major feature of Khomeini's theology was his violent hatred of gays. One of the first laws he passed after he returned to Iran in 1979 was the death sentence for gays.Image

1./ 🧵The BBC's Transman Shame. In 2004 Sky's reality show There's Something About Miriam encouraged straight men to seduce a trans identified male. 21 years later the BBC has learned nothing as it encourages gay men to seduce a trans identified female. Will it end the same way?👉Image
2./ Sky was forced to apologise to the men it duped. It also had to pay them £500K for trying to engineer them into having sex with Miriam Rivera a troubled man who believed he was female. The same exploitative arrogance is in evidence today at @bbcthree and @twofourtweets. Image
3./@bbcthree may have told gay competitors about the trans status of 'Lars' a deluded woman who had her breasts sawn off and took testosterone in a desperate attempt to escape her female reality. But its alleged "honesty" is insufficient because this ignores how reality TV works. Image

1./ 🧵What does 'Queer' mean? In its new show the Tate claims Leigh Bowery is a queer icon. In my latest article I argue the designer's life and work suggest his kind of pathological narcissism defines Queer. I first met Bowery when I was filmed in a sex scene in his flat. Really.Image
2./ It was 1984 and I was having a fling with dancer Michael Clark who was being celebrated in a Channel 4 film following his life. He asked me to play a bit of rough trade. Typecast again. We would be filmed in Bowery's flat where he lived with his boyfriend Trojan.Image
3./ We are told now Bowery's provocative behaviour and wild designs represent an explosion of 'queer' creativity. Yet it's interesting, to say the least, the Tate ignores his casual racism. He called one of his favourite clubbing costumes 'Queer Pakis in Space'. How creative.Image

1./ 🧵Why was media coverage of the Supreme Court's ruling on sex so biased? My latest article tells the emblematic story of one channel's capture by the trans lobby. Channel 4's subversion is partly down to the social circle its staff move in. Guess who's this guy's best mate.👇Image
2./ Last week Krishnan Guru-Murthy gave two idiot trans activists the chance to malign the Court's ruling with all the critical challenge we might expect from some blowhard champion of the trans agenda like the SNP's John Nicolson. Funny you should mention that poltroon. 👉 Image
3./ Guru-Murthy and Nicolson regularly describe each other as their closest friends. Nicolson says GM is "one of the people in the world who likes me most." A low bar. They met when Guru-Murthy was a 15 year old schoolboy during filming for a TV show Nicolson was presenting. Image

1./ Apologies. It’s welcome that
Mark Smith has said, “men like me need to say sorry”. Everyone makes mistakes. A democratic culture only works if we accept people’s views evolve. There are tho some lessons to be learned from Mark’s original stance. 👉
heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…
2./ In his column in early 2020 after the launch of @AllianceLGB, Mark opined on our “horrible website”. He complained images of women had been deliberately chosen to look as feminine as possible to emphasise trans male exclusion. Uh? 👀 They really weren’t. Worse was to come. 👉 Image
3./ Smith went on to compare @AllianceLGB’s concern over child safeguarding to Section 28. “Dangerous to children is a phrase that appears on the LGB Alliance website along with multiple uses of the word ‘threat’. We have been here before.” Indeed we have. Heard of PIE anyone? Image
