1./ Oh look! Guess what country has pioneered the latest pointless and silly gender identity demand. Of course, it's Argentina, one of the most corrupt, and dysfunctional, nations on the planet, with a government that's long specialised in dodgy LGBTQ+ displacement activity. 👇 
2./ Here in TERF island we're nervous inflation has hit 2.5%. In Argentina it's now 50%. Only Sudan, Venezuala, Zimbabwe and Lebanon have worse. But don't worry you can't afford the basics. Your nice woke government has given you an X on your passport. 👇reuters.com/world/americas…
3./ I've written before about the influence of the awful Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, the long-time President who's now officially Vice President (aptly named) but increasingly pulls the strings as November 2021 elections approach.👇ft.com/content/b3a693…
4./ It was Kirchner who perfected destroying the economic health of her country and undermining its civil liberties while posing as a rainbow progressive. She's a part-time job attacking the judiciary as it investigates her industrial scale corruption.👇 batimes.com.ar/news/argentina…
5./ Although the President announced it, the X on the passport is straight from Kirchner's playbook. In the middle of a previous economic crisis in 2011 she pushed through gender Self-ID, making Argentina the first country in the world to do so. 👇outrightinternational.org/content/argent…
6./ The debate on Gender Self-ID was held to the accompaniment of strikes, food shortages and battles on the streets. It didn't help that Kirchner's enforcer, former gang leader Luis D'Elia, denounced farmers as "whorish oligarchs" and led fist fights. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
7./ He attended official banquets & had an office in party HQ despite being fired from the Cabinet for defending the Iranian regime. That was a faux pas because Iran, that most homophobic of countries, has long cast a shadow over LGBTQ+ champion Kirchner.👇nytimes.com/2017/12/11/opi…
8./ Kirchner, the moral compass of our age and pioneer of the X on a passport, has long been accused of negotiating a lucrative secret deal to cover up Iran's involvement in the bombing of a Jewish centre in Buenos Aires in the 90s that killed 85 people.👇jewishvirtuallibrary.org/terrorist-bomb…
9./ As investigations increasingly led to Hezzbollah's backer Iran, Kirchner, it's alleged, moved to protect Argentinian oil imports and line her own pockets by signing a deal (worth $1.2Bn) to drop the prosecution. All would have been well but for a relentless investigator.
10./ In 2015 just hours before prosecutor Alberto Nisman was to present evidence of Kirchner's cover-up to Congress he was found dead. Kirchner rushed out a statement blaming suicide. Most observers say it was murder. vox.com/2015/1/26/7874…
11./ Ahh but what's a little murder when you're a woke champion? Kirchner didn't stop there. Alberto Nisman was Jewish and Kirchner was soon weaving rabid anti-semitic conspiracy theories about a global plot to undermine her government. Classy.👇businessinsider.com/argentinas-pre…
12./ But then Kirchner has mined paranoia her whole career. When the local press criticised her she ran TV ads threatening to nationalise them. She argues objective journalism is impossible and was taken to task by the International Press Institute for harassing journos.👇
13./ Ironically, Ms Woke Kirchner worked as a lawyer for the military junta and in power promptly took a leaf out of their book developing elaborate and bizarre propaganda techniques including moving football games to coincide with major news broadcasts by critical stations.
14./ She even copied Hugo Chavez's regime interrupting prime time TV with emergency broadcasts that either slammed shadowy forces she claimed were conspiring to push up inflation or just celebrating the fact she was opening an exhibition. Very normal democratic behaviour.
15./ There's one thing Kirchner never needs to schedule. She's been almost constantly under investigation for corruption including this affair that's straight out of an interrupted telenovela involving her chauffeur and bags of cash. Super Classy. 👇theguardian.com/world/2018/sep…
16./ Hilariously, in 2019 she even had to make a quick detour on the way to being sworn in as VP to rebut charges of taking millions in corporate backhanders. She screamed at the judges "history will absolve me". She must have been reading Owen Jones. voanews.com/americas/argen…
17./ The usual LGBTQ+ lobbyists will no doubt now descend on @trussliz demanding Britain must follow the shining example of Kirchner and Argentina. She should resist, for this story proves yet again that most gender identity innovation is the very opposite of a sign of modernity.
18./ Woke gestures -like X on a passport- often emerge out of troubled political systems and they're invariably championed by corrupt politicians desperate to distract from their own failings. There's only one sensible response to the news from Buenos Aires. Cry for Argentina.
