Roll up! Roll up! Let's see @benjamincohen try to defend Pink News' appalling coverage of @JKRowling's new book. But what headline is he describing here to @NickCohen4.👇It turns out PN changed their headline after they came a cropper; yet again.
2./ At first this was their headline and it slammed the book for suggesting a "cis man who dresses as a woman" might murder women. Did you spot the rather elementary error in their ringing denunciation? Don't over think it.👇 Image
3./ Even they soon realised if you're going to accuse someone of transphobia the fact you've just described their 'evil' character as 'cis' is in danger of undermining your accusation. Cue a quick reshuffle to this headline in which the culprit is now a man who cross dresses.👇 Image
4./ Mmm. It's true in the new trans gospel according to @stonewalluk cross dressers ARE trans but @EHRCScotland advice is you have to be a "serious" crossdresser; living the life. No trans points for men who cross dress for stag parties. Or presumably for the odd bit of murder?
5./ Forget that many transsexuals hate that cross dressers are now put on an equal footing with them. Is Pink News now arguing that by definition guys who throw on a bit of women's clothing when they murder are channeling an inner gender identity?
6./ If this confusion is beginning to sound eerily familar that's because Pink News are so ignorant about their own favourite subject of trans rights they recently accused @jk_rowling of factual inaccuracy about this very issue of who can be trans. And lost.
7./ When she pointed out a bloke who says he's a woman can get a gender recognition certificate without any surgery or hormones they railed against her. They said she was making things up. She wasn't. They were.👇 Image
8./ @FactCheck concluded the writer was right and these champions of gender identity didn't have a clue what they were talking about. It IS possible for a bloke to get a certificate without the slightest physical change from his previously 'cis' body. channel4.com/news/factcheck…
9./ So what's their beef now? If the character in JK's book merely puts on a dress, or according to @NickCohen4 a coat, to commit murder, how is he trans? Doesn't he have to self-identify first? Truth is Pink News are so blinded by hate they can't think straight, pardon the pun.
10./ Even idiots can be useful tho. Their shrill accusations have helped shine a light on the absurdity of the new 'trans umbrella'. Pink News, it seems, has now decided this category is so porous a fictional murderer gets lumped in there just by dint of donning a woman's coat.
11./ They've spent 5 years campaigning for GR Reform but don't get the basics and now it's not JK who's conflating transwomen with a kinky bloke who's a deadly offender. They are. Yes, Pink News has revealed a dark streak of transphobia: their own.

1./ How did this scandal happen?
How did an 8 year old girl in this clip from @libsoftiktok end up injected with a drug invented to treat prostate cancer in old men? Let me tell you how fake science turned her hospital in Boston into a Ground Zero of this medical disaster.
1/18
2. The girl was treated at the Gender Management Service (GeMS) Clinic at Boston Children's Hospital. The clinic was founded in 2007 by Norman Spack, an endocrinologist, or hormone specialist. He was on a hormone mission ever since witnessing a trial in Holland a few years before Image
3./ In the mid 90s doctors there began giving a small group of teens GnRH agonists or puberty blockers to "pause" puberty. Spack now advocated for this to be embraced globally. He ignored the flaws of the trial, dissected here brilliantly by Michael Biggs.

1./ The SNP, Misogyny and Helena Kennedy
3 years ago I said it was inevitable the SNP would make a hash of their Misogyny Bill and include men (transwomen) in their proposed law. The reason? Helena Kennedy is immersed in trans ideology. The evidence? 👉
bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
2./ In a thread then I showed how Kennedy lavished praise in a series of LGBT+ events on Roz Kaveney, Peter Tatchell and other trans rights fanatics such as Naomi Wolf. Kennedy described Wolf as a good friend. How close a friend soon became clear. 👉
3./ At one event Kennedy chaired, Wolf spoke out against single sex spaces, railing against how the Far Right was allegedly engineering a moral panic about them. This was identical, she said, to 'gay panics' in the past. Cue applause from Plonk Noos.👇

1./ Ruth Hunt is a Bit of a Cult.
You have to hand it to Stonewall's ex-CEO, Ruth Hunt. She really knows how to lie. In her interview she claims Stonewall merely "listened to the experts" and cites one in particular. Why is this a lie?
1/of 15 👉
thetimes.co.uk/article/fe117e…
2./ Hunt names Polly Carmichael from the Tavistock. But for all her faults, Carmichael actually said of prescribing puberty blockers, "it would be disingenuous to say it is fully reversible." Yet Stonewall even today maintains blockers are reversible.
thetimes.co.uk/article/childr…Image
3./ Despite them being banned by NHS England and after a new study from the Mayo Clinic indicates they seriously damage the testicles of boys and may lead to cancer, Stonewall still says blockers are reversible Listened to experts? This is far from Hunt's only lie.

1./ The Biggest Lie About the Cass Report
This video is just one source that claims the trans lobby has long supported the holistic mental health approach that Cass now recommends. This is a lie. Let me tell you the real story of the trans lobby's attitude to mental health.
2./ 25 years ago the trans lobby began a campaign to dilute and remove references to mental health in trans healthcare. A particular target was the Standards of Care of the global trans healthcare organisation WPATH and its predecessor HBIGDA. Why did trans activists do this?
3./ Up to 1998 the Standards of Care included a prominent warning (Principle 1) that sex reassignment "may be requested by persons experiencing short-term delusions or beliefs which may later be changed and reversed." It urged psychiatric oversight. The trans lobby hated that.

1. The Biggest Idiot?
Many foolish politicians enabled the harm to vulnerable children which the Cass Review has now exposed. None did so with the enthusiasm of John Nicolson MP who went to court to back Mermaids, the child-harming charity that promoted puberty blockers.
1 of 13 Image
2./ Nicolson appeared as a witness when Mermaids tried to have the charitable status of @AllianceLGB removed. This despite the fact that one of the Trustees of Mermaids at the time, Jacob Breslow, published a book and spoke at a pro-paedophile conference. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-631378…
3./ You'd think Nicolson might have bothered to check the views of the Trustees of a charity for which he offered legal testimony. In his book Breslow tells of how horny he became as a 12 year old "queer child" gyrated in an "exhilarating" sexualised performance in front of him. Image

1./ Why do LGB oppose TQ+
Why do lesbians and their gay male brothers get upset by the sort of LGBTQ+ placards on show in Edinburgh urging lesbians to "love dick"? It's just the latest example of the trans lobby's open contempt for homosexuality.
1/ of 7
2./ The core idea at the heart of the modern trans project is summed up here by a trans activist at Brighton Pride: "if gender is on a spectrum then homosexuality doesn't really exist". This argument made it into a tax-payer funded film celebrating 50 years of Pride. 🤦‍♂️
3./ Let me be clear I don't feel any animus towards trans people trying to get on with their lives. I filmed for months with the fabulous April Ashley for a series for ITV. I never thought April was a woman but used his preferred pronouns. I would not do that now. Why not?
