"the organizations that purport to advocate on behalf of the trans community. I found that they typically push an approach based on quickly and enthusiastically affirming any indication of gender dysphoria. As someone who is trans myself, I know that this is the wrong approach."
"I wasn’t “born in the wrong body.” I was born female. But I didn’t like it. So I changed my appearance, at significant monetary, psychological, and physical cost, with plastic surgery and hormones. My sex never changed, though. Only my appearance changed"
"Anyone going through this is in store for a brutal process. Yet we now have thousands of naïve parents walking their children into gender-treatment centers, often based on Internet-peddled narratives that present the transition experience through a gauzy rainbow lens...

"What if I told you that today, over 90% — and possibly as many as 99% — of adult transitioners do not fall into the definition of a transsexual, and are instead sexual fetishists?"
"Even if only two percent of male crossdressing fetishists decide to transition, these fetishists will constitute over 60 percent of the overall transgender population, while transsexuals become a minority in their own movement"
"Crossdressing fetishism is now the dominant thread of the transgender movement. It is an inherently misogynistic and narcissistic activity, in which female stereotypes manifested by the self are sexualized instead of actual living, breathing sex partners"

"In identity politics, it seems, the capitalist class spies a means through which it can justify itself, it can feel good about itself and it can carve out some kind of moral mission beyond making money..these corporates’ claim to progressive cred is still entirely phoney."
"while Sainsbury’s is offering safe spaces..to its black workers, it still battles with workers of all backgrounds over pay and conditions. In 2018..it tried to give its chief executive a £1million pay rise while giving 9,000 staff a pay cut." theguardian.com/business/2018/…
"the reason giant companies are so willing to embrace wokeness..it doesn’t cost them much. So much of identity politics is abstract and immaterial. We are exhorted to celebrate diversity, acknowledge historical wrongs and check our privilege. .talk, as they say, is cheap"

"Like Salem Massachusetts, Scottish poetry is a small world. But the disputes that have torn it apart would be recognised by citizens of a dictatorship, trapped members of a religious sect, or workers under the control of a megalomaniac CEO...
...The urge to worship power is universal; as is the willingness to go along with the persecution of dissent when a part of your mind knows the persecution is outrageous."
"You should be able to offer support to transwomen, as Lindsay has done during her career, while deploring incitement to violence against lesbians. Although the magazine privately admitted to her it had made a mistake, Lindsay was publicly accused of transphobia...

"These privileged faux-feminists are more concerned about ‘dead-naming’ a trans-identified male than they are about defenceless women, many already traumatized by male violence, being forced to share accommodation with a man described as ‘homicidal’." grahamlinehan.substack.com/p/irelands-sel…
"Would..the women of the Limerick “Feminist” Network be prepared to spend a night in the cells with a dangerous youth who has sexually assaulted two women and violently attacked another with such ferocity that he tore off her eyelids and ripped out clumps of her scalp?"
"When Ireland repealed the eighth amendment, it seemed as if Irish women had finally escaped from under the thumb of religious oppression...
