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..
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./ 🧵Why is the debate about Trans so overdue? It's great to see the landmark book by @HJoyceGender discussed at a Festival at long last and by the legend that is @bindelj. There was though a tragic irony about the location that reminds us why this debate is urgently necessary
2./ In the early hours of the 25th July 2021 a slightly-built 30 year old Spanish engineer Jorge Martin Carreno was separated from his friends and sat down, tipsy, beside the architectural wonder that is the Radcliffe Camera in Oxford where today's debate was held.
3./ What Jorge did not know was a 23 year old trans identified male, who called himself Scarlet Blake, was at that very moment scouring the streets of Oxford looking for someone to kill. He was wearing a hooded jacket that hid his face. And then he spied...Jorge.
1./ 🧵Adolescence
If someone says a TV drama should shape policy remind them of Butterfly about a boy who wants puberty blockers. Its advisor Susie Green had castrated her own son. 6 years ago the show was applauded by many now applauding Adolescence.
2./ We now know puberty blockers do not alleviate gender dysphoria, yet Butterfly claimed they did. The Tavistock only released that information after relentless pressure. In the show the clinic is portrayed as a centre of excellence. It's now been closed.
3./ The boy at the centre of Butterfly was 11. We now know from the Cass Review that the depiction of boys like him was a shockingly biased and often blatantly untruthful account. Yet Lucy Mangan described it as "an important, truthful drama". theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…
1./ 🧵Incest and White Lotus. The creator of Netflix's hit series wrote his thesis about Judith Butler. In my latest article I explore whether the show's incest theme was inspired by the incest-obsessed Queen of Queer Theory.

2./ Mike White wrote his thesis about Butler two years after Gender Trouble was published. The book even got an airing in Season 1, when the deeply annoying Paula was seen packing it into her bag. How big a role does incest play in Butler's book? It has a starring role. 👉
3./ Here are some of the references to incest in Gender Trouble. Butler became obsessed with incest after studying the work of fellow lesbian, Gayle Rubin. This sadomasochist aficionado of S&M porn and defender of paedophilia had come up a crazy Foucault influenced notion. 👉
1./ 🧵The LGBTQ+ lobby, Epstein and hating mothers.
My latest article is about Jes Staley, ex-CEO of Barclays & champion of the LGBTQ+ lobby. 2 weeks ago he went to court to appeal fines for lying about his links to Jeffrey Epstein.

2./ In 2023, the UK's finance regulator @TheFCA fined Staley £1.8m and banned him from senior positions after he signed off a letter from Barclays claiming he had a strictly business relationship with the notorious sex trafficker who conveniently committed suicide in 2019.
3./ In fact, their business relationship began in 1999 when Epstein became a client of Staley's at JP Morgan. It blossomed in 2002 when Epstein brought $1Bn into Staley's division. Money he'd mysteriously been given power of attorney over by the reclusive billionaire Les Wexner.
1./ 🧵The Sissy Fantasy. My latest article asks why the mainstream media was so shocked by Sam Rockwell's monologue in White Lotus? Did defenders of the trans agenda not realise his love of sissification is the erotic core of most trans identification in men?
Click on the link in my bio to read the full story. 👆👆👆
2./ That matters because if you don't understand "dressing like a woman" gets some men sexually aroused you will fail to appreciate the importance of policing single sex spaces. A good example of this ignorance was the baffled discussion of Rockwell's monologue in the @latimes.
3./ Greg Braxton and Mary McNamara considered the sexual behaviour under discussion so dark and extreme they wondered if it had been included merely for shock value. Yet exhibitionist autogynephilia like this is far from uncommon. They should know that from their own paper.
1./🧵 In my latest article I show why the LGBTQ+ activist and child rapist Stephen Ireland is only the tip of the iceberg. The LGBTQ+ lobby is riddled with predatory men and its agenda is a front for depraved sexual fantasies.

2./ Ireland didn't just start @PrideInSurrey. He ran UK Pride Network. Here he is on stage in 2018 at the national Pride he organised. He led a campaign to shut down the first @ChickfilA diner in the UK, he signed petitions by @LGBTConsortium and was on the Pride Power List.
3./ It's no accident Ireland fantasised about mutilating boys or abducting them from playgrounds. The LGBTQ+ lobby's number one demand is puberty blockers that sterilise children. It also demands schools socially transition kids without parental consent. A first step in grooming.
