1./ What motivates the Trans Lobby?
Two images sum it all up. The first is of Robert Stoller the man who coined the term 'gender identity' and popularised the idea in the 1960s and 70s. Here he is in Papua New Guinea in 1979. Guess who took the photograph.👉
2./ The photographer was Gilbert Herdt who spent the 1970s studying the Sambia tribe who ritually abused young boys. Herdt went on to publicly defend child abuse in the 1990s. His work was then quoted approvingly by @petertatchell in his own defence of paedophilia in 1997.
3./ The other image that explains the trans lobby is this one. "Virginia" Prince set up FPE, the first trans organisation, in the 60s and has been credited with effectively founding the trans movement. He was a psychiatric patient of Robert Stoller's for 27 years.
4./ It was almost certainly from " Virginia" that Stoller developed his idea that men embraced a trans identity as revenge on women. Trans identification was, he said, a form of sexual perversion rooted in hate and fear of women. Prince despised women.
5./ That's why Stoller travelled to Papua New Guinea. The Sambia warriors also viscerally despised women. He and Herdt would later theorise Sambia child abuse was a type of behaviour motivated by the same fear fo women that drove trans identification back in America.
6./ If a trans activist tells you their lobby is progressive remind them of its founding fathers: Virginia Prince who hated women (and gays) and his psychiatrist who concluded trans identification was akin to child abuse. Under the surface pathology still drives the trans lobby.

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.
1./ 🧵Adolescence
If someone says a TV drama should shape policy remind them of Butterfly about a boy who wants puberty blockers. Its advisor Susie Green had castrated her own son. 6 years ago the show was applauded by many now applauding Adolescence.
2./ We now know puberty blockers do not alleviate gender dysphoria, yet Butterfly claimed they did. The Tavistock only released that information after relentless pressure. In the show the clinic is portrayed as a centre of excellence. It's now been closed.
3./ The boy at the centre of Butterfly was 11. We now know from the Cass Review that the depiction of boys like him was a shockingly biased and often blatantly untruthful account. Yet Lucy Mangan described it as "an important, truthful drama". theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…
