From the no longer existent Boxer Ceiling page on Facebook; "The term "Cotton Ceiling" was coined by a male “lesbian” porn performer to describe the barrier that transwomen face when denied sexual access to lesbians...
...Often people ask: "Why is there a Cotton Ceiling, but there is no 'Boxer Ceiling' to refer to the barrier that transmen face when denied sexual access to gay men?" We are here to say that there is a Boxer Ceiling, and it is a form of abuse directed at gay men."

"The policing of artistic free expression has traditionally been carried out by..self-styled morality campaigners, politicians and religious organisations. But today it is just as likely to be arts professionals themselves..and..worse, attempt to censor or silence each other"
"challenging today’s artists..are not just the government or organised religion..but social justice movements-with which many in the arts affiliate themselves. From this internal conflict has arisen a widespread collapse of confidence in the validity of universal free expression"
"toleration finds little place in the lexicon of today’s activist movements, which tend to see it as tacitly reproducing oppression. As a result, submission to social justice orthodoxies is increasingly the price of artistic free expression."

"Every country using the English-language internet experiences a version of this angst—call it the American Rhino Problem. With so many dominant tech companies headquartered in Silicon Valley, the rules of the web are set there—and by politicians in Washington."
"The website of the BBC, our national broadcaster, is always plastered with stories about the U.S., while Ireland, which was under British rule until a century ago and with whom we share a border, might as well be the moon."
"the nonstop reality-television show that is the Trump White House has been inescapable in London, to a degree that is disproportionate even considering America’s undoubted global influence...

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan… BBC believes in 'true genders'; "After several years on hormone blockers and testosterone, Tyler now has his Gender Recognition Certificate, which means he has satisfied government criteria to have his true gender legally recognised...
...He will soon have an operation to remove his breast tissue and later a hysterectomy."
"The Met said it was appointing 250 advisers specialising in LGBT+ hate crime who would be trained to recognise the issues faced by London's transgender community. " I wonder who's 'training' them?
