1./ The #WiSpa debate matters because it shows Gender Self-ID is unworkable. It opens women's single sex spaces to any male who says they're a woman, no questions asked, and women who complain about males wandering around naked get labelled transphobic.👇
2./ Supporters of Self-ID point out entry now to bathrooms doesn't require proof of being a woman and some transwomen who really LOOK like women can pass unnoticed. All this ignores the huge social taboo there is now that stops men who look like men entering women's spaces.
3./ A guy who wanders into a woman's changing room now will testify to the horror experienced and the quick retreat. Self-ID erodes that because it says it doesn't matter what you look like or what you're packing. There's no gatekeeping to become a woman. Nor to being trans.
4./ The trans movement widened the definition from transsexual to include cross-dressers, non binary and queer. So that now means trans includes this Canadian activist who identifies as a 6 year old and campaigns for access to girls bathrooms. 'She' also loves showing off.👇
5./ Self-ID means brave Stefoknee Wolscht gets to stroll into a girls changing room because...well she says she's a girl. And if you don't believe Stefoknee is for real...here's that great journalistic sponsor of car crash interviews, Pink News, covering 'her' uplifting tale.👇 Image
6./ Self ID means anyone who says they're a woman (or a girl) gets to enter women's single sex spaces and so that means one of my favourite trans fashion icons, Alex Drummond, who claims to be a lesbian can join Stefoknee in a stroll round my niece's changing room.
7./ Alex embodies the problem with saying a woman can look like anything. Alex says 'she' has male tackle and is proud of the beard. But if another person, just an actual bloke with a beard, wanders into your daughter's changing room how are you to know who's trans and who's not?
8./ There's no answer to this paradox. Here's a notable transman ridiculing the idea of someone who looks like 'him' going into women's spaces. "Can you imagine ME walking into a women's bathroom? I don't think they would be happy". So why would they be happy with Alex doing it?
9./ When critics of Self-ID pointed out some of these logical contradictions we were told to stop worrying. No one with a penis would or should be dangling it around in a girl's changing room. Here's Jolyon Maugham suggesting a good tut tut should stop that bad behaviour. 👇 Image
10./ That was 2019. In the wake of the row over Wi Spa the mood has altered. Twitter is veritably throbbing with trans activists declaring that if you have a daughter that might be shocked by seeing a penis in her changing room you should teach her...not to look. 👇 Image
11./ I hope that's now clear. Under Self-ID it will be legal for any male no matter what he looks like (maybe Stefoknee or Alex, beard, or no beard?) and if that male wishes to stroll around tackle-out it is your daughter's fault for noticing. What could possibly go wrong? Image
12./ The gender identity lobby should hope we manage to get such idiocy stopped. We know its proponents are largely daft. The public may not be so tolerant. They may conclude a certain ad last year from @ALLIANCELGB and @ForwomenScot wasn't only accurate. It was prophetic.👇 Image

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.👉 Image
Image
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. Image
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. Image

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.

1./ Iran's Tran$ Plan. If you want to understand what drives trans ideology look at what's happening in Iran where a new national plan aims to increase revenue from medical tourism six fold; including from the country's booming gender clinics. Why does this matter?
1 of/11.👉Image
2./ In the West, trans activists and gender clinicians often try to disguise their homophobia. In Iran where homosexuality is punishable by death and trans ideology is officially sanctioned there's no such need. Gender clinics effectively offer to save gays. By mutilating them. Image
3./ My article reveals this gruesome money-machine is being boosted as Iran aims to make $6Bn a year from medical tourism. A key role will be played by its competing private gender clinics which are among the busiest in the world. Only Thailand does more 'sex change surgery'. Image

1./ Hezbollah Hypocrisy. It's a scandal a Jewish man was arrested for joking about the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. We should ALL applaud the elimination of this disgusting misogynist and anti-semite. And if you're gay you should especially thank @IDF. Here's why👉
2./ Two years ago Nasrallah called for violence against gays "with no limits". He hated gays so much he urged followers to use slurs rather than the word 'homosexual'. He and Hezbollah's inspiration had long been the rancid bigotry of Ayatollah Khomeini.👇
3./ Hezbollah posters in Beirut often cite the incoherent "thoughts" of this thankfully well dead fruitcake. A major feature of Khomeini's theology was his violent hatred of gays. One of the first laws he passed after he returned to Iran in 1979 was the death sentence for gays.Image

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
