@RodentWild @MechaniVal @JoEdwards41 @AlexNewgrosh About a year ago, here, he discussed having made a documentary including April Ashley's divorce, & hated her for the "pain she caused Arthur's first wife & children by the scandal". And how he stopped the making of another on BSTc research by telling the BBC it was contradictory

@RodentWild @MechaniVal @JoEdwards41 @AlexNewgrosh Those were ~20yrs ago, so he has been transphobic - & it seems getting worse - for a very long time. His career seems to have moved in the opposite direction to his mounting transphobia during the same time scale too. And now he has all this time on his hands to be transphobic.

@RodentWild @MechaniVal @JoEdwards41 @AlexNewgrosh He told (ISTR it was 'Horizon') that the BSTc researchers had confided that the results were affected by the hormones people had taken, when they specifically eliminated that possibility, & we now know there are no receptors that could enable that after the first neonatal months.

@RodentWild @MechaniVal @JoEdwards41 @AlexNewgrosh 4/ On April; She was relentlessly pursued by an aristocratic, cross-dressing "chaser", who used his title, & his having left his wife, to persuade her into marriage. Whereupon he abused her. When April sought divorce settlement he
continued the abuse by persuading the judge…

@RodentWild @MechaniVal @JoEdwards41 @AlexNewgrosh 5/…that the marriage was a sham because sex could not change, so we all lost our legal status for 30yrs. But of course, to Mr LGBAlliance, all that abuse was April's fault, probably all our faults 🤮
