😂 The Pink News comedy show keeps getting funnier. Here’s @benjamincohen responding to the govt’s announcement it has rejected gender Self-ID, which he championed for 5 years. He starts with a trademark bizarre accusation, this time about genital inspections. Click here to see👇
2./ Then he tries to suck up to @trussliz claiming her rejection of Self-ID is....”sensible”. It is indeed which is why that’s been the central demand of @ALLIANCELGB since we were founded; despite furious accusations of “hatefulness” from Pink News and yep Benjamin himself.
3./ Here’s a reminder of just a few of the stories his demented rag has run demanding Self-ID in the last few months. The most recent was yesterday. 👇 In the world of Pink News no one just asks ....they plead. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤦♂️
4/ Here’s Pink News preparing its pleady needy readers for the worst news possible ever - Literally- complete with its usual mad exaggeration. Apparently there’s an “overwhelming number” in favour of Self-ID. Yeah in the Pink News gender neutral loos maybe. 👇
5./ Here’s Pink News bewailing the PM’s lack of interest in Self ID despite more “overwhelming support”. They must be referring to a legion of copycat responses to the govt’s consultation PN urged readers to send in. The public were on a different page as they soon discovered.
6./ When Pink News asked @YouGov to poll the actual public it had to treat the results like a Japanese cook handling a deadly fugu fish: with great care. There was a small majority in favour of Self-ID among women. But what happened to overwhelming?
7./ If you wonder why misogynist PN suddenly took such an interest in women’s views it’s because there wasn’t a majority of blokes who supported Self ID and so only 50% of the entire British public were in support. Overwhelming majority? I don’t think so.👇pinknews.co.uk/2020/07/09/tra…
8./ This didn’t stop @benjamincohen giving quotes to other news outlets that were in danger of misrepresenting the results. Here he is saying the majority of the public supported Self ID👇 independent.co.uk/life-style/tra…
9./ I know denying the reality of biology may make your grasp of facts unstable but this is just weird. Maybe it was why @YouGov felt the need a week later to publish its own polling in more detail. This revealed a much more nuanced picture. 👇yougov.co.uk/topics/politic…
10./ One crucial finding was that while a majority supported transwomen being able to enter women’s single sex spaces a much larger majority was against pre-op transwomen being able to do so. It’s thought most transwomen choose to retain their male genitals.
11./ Another revealing finding was that despite an eagerness to be as kind as possible and go along with some trans demands the public were pretty evenly split as to whether they really believed trans people were the gender they said they were. 36% of the public didn’t. 👇
12./ This led to a raging article in Pink News which denounced the same company -You Gov- for daring to ask the public questions about trans people that Pink News had just paid to ask the public questions about trans people. 👇
13./ This was all of a piece with Pink News’s bias, its insane vitriol, its refusal to report factually, its pile-ons, the personal attacks,misrepresentations and witch hunts that have been such a feature of its campaign for Self ID
14/. The killer finding in You Gov’s poll was the VAST majority of the public actually support the CURRENT gender recognition process. By 63 to 16% they favoured medical diagnosis for example as well as proof of a 2 year process of transition. That’s what I call overwhelming.👇
15./ This is what makes the refusal of the govt to be bullied into compliance so uplifting for our side. They and we are in line with the public view not the ragged cadre at Pink News that increasingly resembles the strange, wide-eyed cult of the Sparrows from ‘Game of Thrones’.
16./ It’ll be fun to see whether the little Sparrows back at Pink News will now back Benjamin’s description of the govt’s approach as “sensible”. Maybe the little ones don’t appreciate how dependent their rag now is on govt adverti$ing. Kerching.👇
17./ Maybe Benjamin will soon sing the same song as @stonewalluk that calls the govt’s decision “a shocking failure of leadership”. Nancy Kelley will know all about that. We hear reports her staff are in open rebellion.👇
18./ Since Stonewall became obsessed with trans rights to the detriment of LGB people its gone from a healthy financial surplus to last year a loss of £1M. It’s said to be living off reserves. Acceptance without exceptions ....🤦♂️
19./ However they spin it the govt’s decision is a huge blow to both Pink News and Stonewall, and a solid win for our side. But it’s just a start. There’s so much work to do to roll back the capture of our institutions by the nonsense of ‘gender identity’ theory. Up and at them.

1./ For Transgender Remembrance I'd like to remind you Tony McDade who murdered a young black man is still being cited by trans lobby groups as a victim. Here she is cited by @glaad the LGBTQ+ group that's so corrupt it bought its CEO an actual chandelier. glaad.org/tdor-memoriam/
2./ McDade was shot by Florida cops just 3 days after the death of violent drug-dealer George Floyd. BLM now embraced McDade as another shining example of suffering. Here's Stanford University including McDade in a pro-BLM 'Say Their Names' exhibit. exhibits.stanford.edu/saytheirnames/…
3./ In fact McDade, who was convinced she was a man, was mentally unstable and high on testosterone and god knows what else when just weeks after being released from jail she went online to warn the world she was going to murder her "haters". Here she is asking for more bullets.
1./ 🧵The scandal of LGBT Youth Scotland continues to poison our public life. Well done to @Rosiemillard for drawing attention to the BBC's wilful negligence in giving money to the group mere months after its CEO was jailed for running a child abuse ring. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
2./ LGBT Youth Scotland's CEO James Rennie used their offices to communicate with hundreds of abusers across the world. Rennie exchanged images of him sexually abusing a child which he did for four years from a few weeks after the boy was born. scotsman.com/news/horror-up…
3./ LGBTYS should have been closed down immediately. What more proof do you need that a YOUTH group has failed than its CEO running a child abuse ring from its offices? At least you might expect the Scottish government to pause its funding? Carry out a review? They did neither.
1./ 🧵Trans Lobby Grifter$
If anyone tells you trans people are a marginalised minority tell them about Trans in the City. 300 of Britain's biggest firms support this powerful trans lobby group led by larping men like "Emily". Did anyone ever look less like an Emily?
1/13
2./ That some of our biggest employers validate the delusions of this galumphing fool is a scandal. Here he is talking about "safe places to work" when his group campaigns to make all workplaces less safe for women by removing single sex spaces. Imagine meeting him in a loo.
3./ Like the other creeps at Trans in the City *Emily* is a straight bloke with kids. One of its founders is Pips Bunce an idiot who goes to work as a "woman" some days and as a bloke the others. Here he is getting an award. For making Eddie Izzard look like he made an effort?
I./ 🧵The Woke Virus Spreaders.
Here are some of my recent articles about dodgy grifters who helped spread the woke mind virus. First up is corrupt Sarah Kate Ellis who turned gay rights group GLAAD into a child harm promoter; enriching herself in the process. Of course she did.
2./ The ghoulish trans child charity Mermaids is so paedophile-friendly it was perhaps inevitable it would be linked to Jeffrey Epstein. Barclays CEO was a huge fan and even organised a boycott of Mermaids' critics. He just happened to be Epstein's best buddy. Of course he was.
3./ For decades the British LGBTQ+ activist Peter Tatchell celebrated two tribes in Papua New Guinea who abuse children. He claimed they were moral examples. Guess where I discovered he went hiking during a missing period in his biography? Papua New Guinea. Of course it was.
1./ 🧵Justin Welby
We could have guessed Justin Welby might be a fake and a liar when he was praised on his resignation by Alastair Campbell; a man rarely acquainted with honesty. He called Welby, who obstructed an investigation into child abuse "a good man". But is he?
1of/11
2./ Welby loved lecturing the public on our alleged moral responsibility for crimes of the past, setting up a £100m fund to "address the legacy of slavery". Shame then he refused for so long to address the legacy of a recent crime. One he is alleged to have known a lot about.
3./ In the 70s and 80s Welby was heavily involved in the Irwen Trust, an evangelical charity. Its CEO John Smyth was a pathologically homophobic barrister who appeared to be a happily married man. He was however abusing teenage boys, beating them in a garden shed until they bled.
1./ 🧵Labour's War on @elonmusk
What is hate speech? For Imran Ahmed from the Center for Countering Digital Hate it includes accounts on @X that warn of the dangers of so-called "gender affirming healthcare" for children. This matters due to his close links to the UK government
2./ Last year his group @CCDHate published a report accusing 5 accounts including brilliant gay rights activists @againstgrmrs of.... "LGBTQ+ hate". In fact they and the other accounts were merely calling out horrors like Drag Queens in schools and sterilising kids with blockers.
3./ Believe it or not @CCDHate complained an ad had been placed beside a post from @againstgrmrs in which the group said they stood with parents against predatory child abuse by groomers. How is gays standing against predatory child abuse hate speech? It gets worse.
