1./ Why are our opponents so DUMB? It's a question you can't help but ask after the latest agitated LGBTQ+ protest. It was against @markjenkinsonmp who's dared to question the way trans ideology is being pushed like kid-friendly kool aid in the nation's schools.
/1 of 9
2./ Jenkinson asked questions this week in Parliament about reports some schools were not informing parents they'd allowed their children to socially "transition" and that some social services were putting pressure on parents to affirm their child's "trans identity". 👇
3./ The response by @MinFreerHMG was underwhelming. "Parents and carers will, of course, have the right to express their views on how a child identifies." Well, thank you very much Minister. For asking questions like this Jenkinson has been labelled a transphobe and homophobe.👇
4./ One activist ☝️suggested Jenkinson, "think before he opens his mouth". But the same activist had just unthinkingly repeated the usual cliches about rising suicide rates. Do these guys never wonder how the suicide story makes any sense given ever-more acceptance of LGB & T?
5./ If more acceptance and more rights are accompanied by ever more suicide and violence that would be a bizarre argument AGAINST acceptance. Luckily, the LGBTQ+ lot are just making this story up from ridiculous surveys designed to justify the grifting of LGBTQ+ organisations.
6./ As if that wasn't dumb enough here's someone repeating the canard that gay peeps wouldn't have any rights if it wasn't for trans folks. Poor old Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera disinterred yet again to point their cold, dead fingers at the nasty gays. Of course, it's BS.
7./ Listen to the contempt as she disses the gays who wouldn't have any rights "or even be able to wave the rainbow flag" if it wasn't for the mythical black trans heroes who both admitted they were barely AT the Stonewall riots, never mind led it. 👇
8./ We can see who the real homphobes are here. And it's not Mark Jenkinson, a Tory MP challenging the promotion of body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria to impressionable kids and questioning the over-prescribing of puberty blockers to gender non conforming young people.
9./ It is a rich irony, to be written up in years to come, that today the rights of gay people -and the health of young LGB people - are being protected by straight MPs such as Mark Jenkinson and undermined by unthinking LGBTQ+ activists who aren't just dumb but dangerous.

1./ The fake trans science bandwagon trundles on. Yet another paper by ideological activists self-identifying as objective scientists is now being amplified by the American media to claim that trans hormone therapy saves lives. Mmm. Let's have a little look at this claim. /1of19
2./ @nowthisnews claims the study shows access to hormone therapy "reduces suicide rates". In fact the paper itself explored a possible association between levels of depression, thoughts of suicide and attempted suicide. Although the researchers were happy to put a spin on it.
3./ The paper compares young people who've had access to hormone therapy and those who wanted it but couldn't get it. 23% of those who wanted it claimed to have attempted suicide versus 14% for those who got it. But there is a glaring omission in the paper.
1./ What a loss. Jana Bennett was one of the leading lights of a platoon of brilliant women that took over the Science Department at the BBC in the 1990s. She ushered in a golden era at 'Horizon' when some blockbusters garnered more than 5 million viewers. broadcastnow.co.uk/bbc/jana-benne…
2./ Jana combined passion for science with the instinct for a good story. At 'Horizon' she kept a framed copy of the ratings for one stellar week on BBC2 in 1993 when 9 out of the top 10 rating shows were 'Snooker' except for one: Horizon: The Pyramid Builders (5.1M).
3./ Along with Susan Spindler, Lorraine Heggessy Bettina Lerner, Jane Root and Emma Swain, Jana helped transform the BBC. But it was always about more than ratings. As part of a small development team she sent me to cover an archaeological dig in Kent where graves had been found.
. 1/ For those mesmerised by the sheer strangeness of Della Alexander, the producer of the first ever TV show presented by trans people in 1973 on the BBC here's an update. It appears the star of the show, the fragrant Della, was a keen supporter of Mosley and his fascists.👇
2./ In academic essays Derek Alexander appears as Mosley's South African lieutenant. Della travelled there to support apartheid and became an army reservist. This may explain why in the BBC show a medium is said to have put him in touch with a man with a funny moustache.
3./ Thanks to @coccinellanovem & @fcqv for the detective work. The muffled reference from Della to those who gave her paranormal advice is to "Dr Vervoerd" who introduced mass detention and imprisoned Nelson Mandela. Thank goodness you can't judge a movement by one bad apple.
1./ What's the truth about the rise of the modern trans movement? Behind the largely fictional official tale there's a stranger, more interesting reality. There's a glimpse of it in this gem from the BBC archive; the first TV show made by transsexuals.👇 bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06…
2./ In 1973 the Beeb gave a group of "transex activists" their own broadcast. It was a pivotal moment and connects to many of the major characters and forces that shaped the trans lobby and disproves the official LGBTQ+ history like this nonsense from @washingtonpost.👇
3./ In the fake gospel gay and trans people were allies from the start and trans people of colour played a leading role in gaining gay rights, starting at Stonewall. This despite the fact latterday icons Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera both admitted they were marginal.👇
1./ Is there a lesson from the scientific past that might explain the boom in people identifying as trans? Trans activists tell us the reason is that centuries of erasure are over. Critics argue transition is being promoted by stories like this.👇 nymag.com/intelligencer/…
2./ The piece in @NYMag tells the story of transman Gabriel Mac's struggle to get a surgical penis. The tone is captured in the opening line. "On the day I heard my penis would be huge I sobbed". The reception was as effusive. "It gives me such hope" said one entrepreneur. 👇
3./ Author of 'Becoming Heroines' and self-styled mentor of women, Elizabeth C McLaughlin also described the penis grafting as an example of agency both "miraculous and fucking brave". Given it's an op with a 50% fail rate and multiple complications brave is one word to use.👇
1./ A reminder not every "COVID expert" is a genius. Here's @SusanMichie backing Nicola Sturgeon's refusal to shorten the COVID isolation period. But isn't Michie a psychologist not a virologist? As for her own pandemic record it's hardly been stellar. thetimes.co.uk/article/covid-…
2./ On the 13th March 2020 as one expert warned "Every day of delay will kill. Close close down schools and events now', Michie told @BBCNewsnight it would be pointless to make mass sporting events non-spectator. People would gather in the pub to watch them instead. Ok Einstein.
3./ When it's pointed out Sturgeon has banned more than 500 people attending gatherings or sporting events, Michie insists "no one has the right answer". Above all, English people should trust their own Chief Medical Officer, and Chief Scientist. So why not trust them now?
