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./ 🧵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

1./ 🧵On a female hero. It’s typical of @HotchkissRhona to hand out well-deserved plaudits to women who helped prepare the ground for the Supreme Court triumph. But no one who went to early public meetings of @ForWomenScot can be in any doubt Rhona herself deserves thanks. 👉
2./ I first met this pocket rocket at a @ForWomenScot meeting in early 2020. In those days all gender critical events were by word of mouth or carefully vetted such was the level of fear. I’d come to talk about @AllianceLGB and was amazed to find a secret, feisty army of women.
3./The first speaker was @HotchkissRhona who talked, as an ex prison governor, about how trans identified men often acted out in sickening ways in women’s jails. Her jaw dropping speech was spiced with Rhona’s biting wit. She then introduced a young woman sitting beside me.

1./ How deep does homophobia run in the trans psychosis? There's a clue in the story of Sofia Taloni, one of the Arab world's most famous trans activists who's now detransitioning back to the bloke he always was. If Sofia looks a bit of a lunatic there's a reason for that. 👉 Image
2./ Taloni was born in Morocco where homosexuality is illegal. Though as many a tourist can attest it's not exactly unknown dans la casbah. Shame and the threat of a jail sentence has led many gay Moroccans to embrace trans, which is not illegal. So here's Taloni not being gay.👇Image
3./ Taloni's internalised self-hate erupted in 2020 when he told his 700K Insta followers to download Grindr, create fake profiles and expose closet gay men. Taloni urged his followers to post the men's images online and then publicly berated them.
