😂 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./ If you need proof the LGBTQ+ lobby is a danger to children BBC presenter Ronx Ikharia has dispelled any doubt. She's fronting a campaign to encourage children to accompany cross-dressing men going into public toilets. What could possibly go wrong? 👉 telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/2…
2./ For years the BBC has given this deluded woman a platform to undermine the mental health of kids by telling them she wasn't female (which she is) and promoting breast binders. She even tried to stop medics discussing the risks of puberty blockers. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
3./ This week she launched a campaign to urge school children to wear a badge assuring potential child abusers they would be " Safe With Me". You might think such a risky initiative had been given some thought. Let me tell you about the bozos behind it.👉 swlondoner.co.uk/news/23072025-…
1./ Well done America!! Here's why everyone, whatever their politics, should applaud the closure of the Trevor Project's so-called "suicide hotline". This fraudulent organisation has wreaked havoc for too long. Let me tell you just some of their lies. 👉 thetrevorproject.org/blog/closed-tr…
2./ The Trevor Project has spent millions grifting for Big Pharma, advocating the medicalisation of confused kids using idiot celebrities like Daniel Radcliffe to promote their effective sterilisation using puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.
3./ Yet just months before Radcliffe role-played as a mini-Mengele the CEO of the Trevor Project, Amit Paley, was fired after it was revealed he'd previously been a drug-pusher for oxycontin billionaires: the notorious Sackler family. It gets worse.👉 fastcompany.com/90810068/trevo…
1./ 🧵Why are LGBTQ+ organisations so terrible at child safeguarding? My latest essay argues trans ideology is not the only reason. Worse is the historic refusal by gays to acknowledge our movement was started by men who saw paedophiles as brothers in arms. Fasten your seatbelts.
2./ The campaign for gay equality began in 1864 when Karl Ulrichs published the first of 12 short volumes arguing same-sex attraction was normal. The word homosexuality hadn't been invented yet so he coined the word 'Uranian'. Crazy name. Not as crazy as some of his ideas.👉
3./ Ulrichs' books electrified gay men and women in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. Intellectuals from Oscar Wilde to André Gide now called themselves ...Uranian. So did Magnus Hirschfeld, favourite icon of the LGBTQ+ lobby, who based his research on Ulrichs' ideas
1./ How captured is the BBC by the LGBTQ+ lobby and why does it matter? On Eastenders tonight, Albert Square was celebrating Pride. Of course it was. And as in every working class community in London’s East End absolutely everybody was dressing up for the local Pride party. 🤔
2./ The pecking order in Walford is now determined by how pro-LGBTQ+ characters are. So Kathy Beale silences her rival by pointing out she’s at the Pride event because her son is err… “part of the Queer community”. An everyday riposte in Whitechapel and Bethnal Green no doubt.
3./ It’s true East End life is more “diverse” today than the bad old days when the White Swan on Commercial Road was a rare gay oasis. But colour me skeptical there is any East End community with as many cross dressing blokes as appear in the background in Albert Square.
1. Climate Change Hyperbole.
How should we respond to global warming? In my latest article I examine how last year's flood in Valencia was misrepresented and misused to argue we should decarbonise our economy more urgently than we are already doing.👉
2./ The climate change lobby ignored the fact Valencia had flooded 75 times before and the geology of the region could almost be designed to produce flash floods. Flooding in Valencia got so bad in 1957 the city decided to reroute the river that used to run through the centre.
3./ Coverage of the flood ignored all this and the fact rivers flowing into Valencia emerge 5500ft up a mountain range. This steep gradient means when extreme rainfall occurs water rushes to the city in a torrent. Nor can it escape because of almost vertical ravine river banks.
1./ 🧵The Lies of Sarah McBride: The Sequel.
This leading trans activist claims the trans lobby now faces hostility cos it failed to take the time to convince the public. Yet it was McBride himself who ruthlessly championed the most extreme positions. 👉 nytimes.com/2025/06/17/opi…
2./ After @HRC failed to stop a law in North Carolina protecting women's spaces McBride led its revenge campaign to ensure its Republican Governor was not re-elected. "It would send a really important message: if you come for us we're going to come for you", warned McBride.
3./ Invading women's restrooms was such a complusion for McBride that in a 2018 Google seminar he admitted HRC killed a non-discrimination bill in Philadelphia protecting gay and trans people from employment discrimination just because it had an exemption for women's restrooms.
