1./ Why is India Willoughby the perfect icon of the trans movement? Today, India came onto my timeline (after years blocking me) to make disparaging comments. Hey, compared to what brave @RosieDuffield1 gets every day it was peanuts. I was *merely* asked to explain myself. 👇
2./ In typical TRA style, India wasn't REALLY interested in a discussion or in working together to find solutions. After making wild, unsupportable claims and bizarre accusations, India suddenly disappeared again. I was blocked just minutes after being asked to offer an answer.🤷♂️
3./ But in those few minutes I glimpsed what a strange and insular world India inhabits. In just a day, India mocked and defamed @MForstater, @MumsnetTowers@Martina and @EHRC. There wasn't a glimmer of understanding other people might have competing rights or other opinions.👇
4./ India's final message was a hope karma would bring what we both deserve. Mmm. I wish India personally nothing but good fortune. But the silencing and bullying of women, the medicalising of kids and the homophobia so many trans activists show towards LGB people can't end well.
5./ The irony is India is already considered suspect by many in the trans movement because India (shock horror) argued against Gender Self-ID. "Someone with a full beard could click his fingers and say he's a woman". Amazingly, India isn't always wrong.👇 dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8…
6./ That's why India is the perfect icon of the trans movement. On one hand, India relentlessly tries to silence critics of the movement's overreach but on the other has just begun to realise the weird contradictions of its demands. India may soon need us more than we need 'her'.
7./ By the way I didn't 'found' @ALLIANCELGB 🙄 Why is it so many trans activists who..err.. "fight the patriarchy" assume a bloke must have founded it. 👀 @ALLIANCELGB was founded by two lesbians whom I admire hugely, @BevJacksonAuth being one of them. Follow her!!

1./ Another week, another misleading science report from LGBTQ+ lobbyists. Not content with picking a fight with the equalities watchdog, the @EHRC, this increasingly aggressive lobby is misusing a report on sexual violence to defend a wayward type of conversion therapy ban.👇
2./ Last week @GalopUK published a study it claimed proved the pressing need for a ban on "transgender conversion". "We must not delay the implementation of this life-saving law." By an amazing coincidence their report landed just a week before the consultation end.
3./ A cynic might conclude the report was rushed out in time to allow its headlines to stick but not enough to allow a proper investigation of the research. This is has become a trademark of the LGBTQ+ lobby, not least because their proposals are so often at odds with the public.
1./ Has @stonewalluk finally blown itself up? In Nov 2021 when the lobby group was criticised, for effectively being publicly funded gangsters who misrepresent the law and intimidate employers to keep paying them protection money, they defended themselves by citing the @EHRC 👇
2./ Stonewall assured employers horrified by the revelations of the ‘Nolan Investigates’ podcast their guidance was based on @EHRC’s Equality Act Code of Practice. It isn’t but that’s a small lie for a group that denies basic biology. Now what’s their view of the sainted @EHRC?👇
3./ Two months later the body which Stonewall used to whitewash its expensive grifting is denounced as betraying LGBTQ+ people. The truth is Stonewall imposed its own fantasy version of the law and ignored the actual one which makes no mention of the so-called LGBTQ+.
1./ The Holocaust was such a devastating event in human history we need continually to learn its lessons. All the more unfortunate then that @HMD_UK repeats canards about Magnus Hirschfeld and his Berlin clinic. Yet again, Hirschfeld is promoted as an uncomplicated hero. 👇
2./ In fact, Hirschfeld promoted castration as a cure for homosexuality, his ethnology chief argued for African colonial subjugation and the surgeon he employed to do the first sex change surgery would help lead the Nazi effort to sterilise the disabled.👇
3./ Gohrbrand would later commission appalling experiments at Dachau. As the horrors of the Nazi regime recede from living memory it's never been more important to ensure every statement made during Holocaust Memorial Day is based firmly in facts. Hirschfeld was no hero.
1./ Does the @BBC deserve more money? Here's just a few ways it could stop wasting license payers' money, provide a better service and give less of an impression it functions as the plaything of a tiny, unrepresentative minority. independent.co.uk/news/uk/bbc-na…
2./ It took 2 years of complaints before the @BBC finally removed this "educational" material it produced for Primary Schools that contained the legend there were over 100 gender identities. That the videos were ever made was a sign of a weird ideological capture.
3./ Many BBC journalists say privately they feel unable to speak openly about gender issues. It might be an idea for the @BBC to dispel the sense it's enforcing a narrow agenda at the behest of lobby groups including its own LGBT+ staff group @BBCPride 👇dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9…
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./ 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.👇
