1./ I've compiled a Top Ten Gender Baloney
to celebrate the pointless, performative idiocy of #IDAHOBIT. Each clip highlights a "triumph" of the new style LGBTQ+ movement. Let's start with the sort of a-gender polyamorous family so much of the LGBTQ+ lobby wants us all to have.👇
2./ Imagine how much fun their kids have working out what gender (if any) they are ....or are not. Imagine too how many of society's urgent mental health issues will be solved by completely confusing children and preparing them for medicalisation. What a brave new world!
3./ Talking of medicalisation here's Jazz Jennings' mom express the love only a mom can feel as she describes how she has to bully Jazz into keeping the surgical creation she calls a vagina...dilated. She'll strangle Jazz if it seals up she says. How sweet!
4./ Gender affirming surgery is absolutely not driven by adult kinksters and ghouls who are now foisting their own fetishes on to young people as if they are liberating. Here's a guy explain how he wants his balls removed but in the meantime loves castration role-play. 🤦♂️
5./ So much top class culture has poured forth since we all were told to respect everyone else's so-called gender identity. Here's the genius that is non-binary pin-up Alok Menon celebrating his poetry and noticing the words dysphoria and diaspora look kinda similar. Amazeballs.
6./ Here in Scotland our artistic culture has blossomed too. Here's a trans poet declaiming something which just has to be inspiring cos ...well he's trans. The dirge was showcased on television. I hope you're as inspired as I certainly am by his fetching head-tilt.
7./ The new LGBTQ+ world opens so many possibilities. Here's the delightfully sane transwoman who discovered "she" was Filipino when "she" listened to music from the Philipines. "She" just adores Filipino food too, so "she" err...really must be Filipino.
8./ It's so easy to make more of yourself now. With almost no effort and absolutely no talent a second rate male actor can become a second rate "female" actor...and still get a Time photo shoot. Just snap your fingers and tilt your head...
9./ There's almost nothing you can't identify as nowadays if your heart is set on it. Who can ever forget lovely Stefoknee who campaigns against single sex changing rooms, while also identifying as a 6 year old girl? What could possibly go wrong?
10./ If any of this doesn't make sense here's a trans activist arguing that because subatomic particles can be in more than one place at a time then so can our genders. Bless. The nucleus of atoms are also very dense...so presumably by his logic some people are too.
11./ Here's a bonus. A trans activist who says trans people have been here since the beginning of time and will be here until the end of time. End of Times....has it ever sounded so likely? Happy #IDAHOBIT2023
Things can surely only get better...

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.
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.
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.
1./ 🧵Why was media coverage of the Supreme Court's ruling on sex so biased? My latest article tells the emblematic story of one channel's capture by the trans lobby. Channel 4's subversion is partly down to the social circle its staff move in. Guess who's this guy's best mate.👇
2./ Last week Krishnan Guru-Murthy gave two idiot trans activists the chance to malign the Court's ruling with all the critical challenge we might expect from some blowhard champion of the trans agenda like the SNP's John Nicolson. Funny you should mention that poltroon. 👉
3./ Guru-Murthy and Nicolson regularly describe each other as their closest friends. Nicolson says GM is "one of the people in the world who likes me most." A low bar. They met when Guru-Murthy was a 15 year old schoolboy during filming for a TV show Nicolson was presenting.
1./ Apologies. It’s welcome that
Mark Smith has said, “men like me need to say sorry”. Everyone makes mistakes. A democratic culture only works if we accept people’s views evolve. There are tho some lessons to be learned from Mark’s original stance. 👉 heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…
2./ In his column in early 2020 after the launch of @AllianceLGB, Mark opined on our “horrible website”. He complained images of women had been deliberately chosen to look as feminine as possible to emphasise trans male exclusion. Uh? 👀 They really weren’t. Worse was to come. 👉
3./ Smith went on to compare @AllianceLGB’s concern over child safeguarding to Section 28. “Dangerous to children is a phrase that appears on the LGB Alliance website along with multiple uses of the word ‘threat’. We have been here before.” Indeed we have. Heard of PIE anyone?
1./ 🧵On a female hero. It’s typical of @HotchkissRhona to hand out well-deserved plaudits to women who helped prepare the ground for the Supreme Court triumph. But no one who went to early public meetings of @ForWomenScot can be in any doubt Rhona herself deserves thanks. 👉
2./ I first met this pocket rocket at a @ForWomenScot meeting in early 2020. In those days all gender critical events were by word of mouth or carefully vetted such was the level of fear. I’d come to talk about @AllianceLGB and was amazed to find a secret, feisty army of women.
3./The first speaker was @HotchkissRhona who talked, as an ex prison governor, about how trans identified men often acted out in sickening ways in women’s jails. Her jaw dropping speech was spiced with Rhona’s biting wit. She then introduced a young woman sitting beside me.
1./ How deep does homophobia run in the trans psychosis? There's a clue in the story of Sofia Taloni, one of the Arab world's most famous trans activists who's now detransitioning back to the bloke he always was. If Sofia looks a bit of a lunatic there's a reason for that. 👉
2./ Taloni was born in Morocco where homosexuality is illegal. Though as many a tourist can attest it's not exactly unknown dans la casbah. Shame and the threat of a jail sentence has led many gay Moroccans to embrace trans, which is not illegal. So here's Taloni not being gay.👇
3./ Taloni's internalised self-hate erupted in 2020 when he told his 700K Insta followers to download Grindr, create fake profiles and expose closet gay men. Taloni urged his followers to post the men's images online and then publicly berated them. attitude.co.uk/news/world/as-…
1./ 🧵Why is the debate about Trans so overdue? It's great to see the landmark book by @HJoyceGender discussed at a Festival at long last and by the legend that is @bindelj. There was though a tragic irony about the location that reminds us why this debate is urgently necessary
2./ In the early hours of the 25th July 2021 a slightly-built 30 year old Spanish engineer Jorge Martin Carreno was separated from his friends and sat down, tipsy, beside the architectural wonder that is the Radcliffe Camera in Oxford where today's debate was held.
3./ What Jorge did not know was a 23 year old trans identified male, who called himself Scarlet Blake, was at that very moment scouring the streets of Oxford looking for someone to kill. He was wearing a hooded jacket that hid his face. And then he spied...Jorge.
