1./ Why does this photo of Christine Burns with an anti-TERFS slogan matter? Burns is an icon of the UK's trans lobby (there's a low bar) and the slogan is revealingly apt because Burns has been plotting against women and their rights for 30 years. Here's the evidence.👉 1/ of 10
2./ In 1998, Burns recalled how 5 years before "she" had heard a lecture that inspired a revolutionary new vision: 'sex' should be removed from all legal documents. The way Burns chose to defend this erasure of biological sex and therefore of women and gays was revealing.
3./ If you listen to trans activists now they claim the soaring numbers of kids identifying as trans isn't social contagion. But back then, Burns argued that erasing sex from documents would help most the trans population who, Burns said, were just 5000 people, 0.01% of the UK.
4./ It would be so obviously questionable to undermine laws affecting 99.99% of the population to prioritise just 0.01% that Burns tried to justify the change by claiming it would benefit women. No longer would girls be condemned to "a lifetime's expectation of second place."
5./ If only feminists had realised they just had to disinvent the category of women and all their women problems would be solved....no doubt, by the same magic that allows Burns to become so very proud of being so very....err..."lesbian" (at 1 min 45).👇
6./ Luckily, we knew already how high an opinion Burns had of feminists. Burns notoriously said, "In a bizarre way rapists have a better line in manners [than feminists]. At least they treat their victims without prejudice as women. Ahh, shucks...rapists.
7./ We saw how high an opinion Burns has of women generally when "she" joined in on a stream of misogynistic jokes about @Womans_Place_UK, along with Aimee Challoner who failed to notify the Green Party about "her" dad's child rape charge. Aimee's dad was her electoral agent.
8./ Talking of jokes, Burns ridicules the idea anyone could abuse gender Self-ID. But here's Burns's colleague in 2003 from Burns's group, Press for Change, arguing how important it was to reassure MPs the recognition process could not be abused. Whoops.👇 gender.org.uk/gendys/2003/24…
9./ For 30 years, Burns claims to have been uplifting a tiny vulnerable community. But for all that time Burns has really been gaslighting 51% of the population. The fact Burns identifies as a member of that group shouldn't surprise us. No one does women better than transwomen!
10./ You could be forgiven for thinking the motive of some trans activists isn't a need to lift trans people up, but to change society so their personal contempt for women (and gays) is embodied in law.
That bag's slogan really is a lifetime's work. END gender.org.uk/gendys/1998/04…

1./ Want to read the trans lobby's playbook? In 1996, Christine Burns wrote an essay about feminism. It's a textbook guide to playing the victim; including a disgusting quote about how "rapists have a better line in manners" than feminists. 1/ of 17.👇 butterfliesandwheels.org/2021/a-better-…
2./ The essay recounts a discussion between Burns and a group of feminists. Burns is determined to convince the women that transwomen "have more in common with the experience of their sisters than they blandly imagine." Savour the contempt of that word... "blandly".
3./ Have black activists ever sat down with Rachel Dolezal to discuss what they have in common? Did Filipino activists sit down with this bozo who claims he's Filipino cos he loves the food? If they were asked to, I bet their reaction won't be "bland".
1./ Would you like to read a brilliant takedown of second rate science? I love when a researcher digs deep into someone else's work and finds glaring flaws. That's what Michael Biggs has just done with the most recent work by the awful Jack Turban. So what's the truth?
1 of /12.
2./ Puberty blocker promoter Turban is a darling of the US woke media who've rushed to embrace his latest paper because it claims there is no trans 'social contagion'. But Turban's claim turns out to be based on a wilful misreading of his own evidence. nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-he…
3./ Turban argued in his paper in @aap_peds that it's a myth more girls are identifying as trans. But the only way to be sure of this is if the trans kids who answer the question “what sex are you” describe themselves using biological sex. But what if they don't?
1./ Monkeypox madness gets even madder.
Three days ago Pink News gave advice about attending Pride. Notice anything strange? Only that the article appeared FOUR weeks after the biggest UK Pride in London where a million people crammed into the capital.🤦 pinknews.co.uk/2022/08/02/mon…
2./ It would have more useful for @teozka to deliver this advice in July. Shame neither he nor PN call out @PrideInLondon for its failure to follow @UKHSA guidelines. They were told to warn those with monkeypox symptoms not to attend, but didn't bother. gov.uk/guidance/monke…
3./ When an unpredictable virus gains access for the first time to a new group of people the sensible response is to crack down on transmission as quickly as possible. Instead muppets like Pink News and @teozka fiddled while the virus burned through our community.
1./ Jack Turban - the puberty blocker pusher- is back. Yesterday, he revealed a new paper which makes grand claims. But once again none of his claims hold up. Turban is rapidly becoming the king of damp squibs. Here's why this latest paper is his biggest, dampest squib so far. 👇
2./ You may remember Jack claimed he’d proved puberty blockers save lives. They don't. His paper on blockers was full of flaws. For one, it was based on a survey run by an agitprop trans rights lobby group that recruited through activist “networks”.👇
3./ The paper also failed to emphasise young people who obtained puberty blockers were screened for mental health issues so it was no surprise they had fewer suicidal thoughts than those who hadn’t been given them. Pink News and the usual suspects.. literally ..ignored that fact.
1./ The Tavistock and the idiocy of Jolyon Maugham and Benjamin Cohen. Endocrinologist @will_malone points out a crucial finding that contributed to the Tavi's closure: its failure to research properly the risks of puberty blockers. So what did Jolyon and Benjy say?👇
1 of/13.
2./ Two years ago Jolyon mocked the ONLY animal trials ever conducted into puberty blockers (in 2017). He ridiculed the fact they were supervised by an expert on veterinary medicine. As are all animal trials Jolyon, duhh. He then went further in an outrageous smear.
3./ He implied that Professor Evans's work could be discounted because it was later quoted by a Christian outfit with which Evans has nothing to do. Benjamin Cohen's lying rag Pink news then picked up the baton, scorning @KLBfax for quoting the animal trial in her case 👇
1./ Should you worry about Drag Queen Story Time? Supporters like Stella Creasy claim drag queens are just like pantomime dames. It's nothing new, apparently. So what's really the agenda behind forcing kids to listen to men in dresses read stories? dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
2./ First, remember the last time a drag queen reading to kids hit the UK headlines? Parents were furious when images of their primary one school kids were uploaded onto the drag queen's sexualised instagram site. Mmm, not exactly very pantomime.👇
3./ You'd have thought the drag queen's name was a give away but no one seemed to think of checking Flo Job's instagram site. It was parents who later discovered their 5 year old's faces peering out beside images like this. 👇
