1/ Sen. Wiener cuts a haunted, panicked figure, like a man who's seen the ghost of Gender Future, but unlike Scrooge, there's no hope of some act of redemption or contrition. This is a man who prefers his collateral human damage to have no tongue, so he moves like a malfunction.
2/ The bitter harvest of gender, a crop Senator Scott did so much to bring about, was never going to be an easy or pretty affair for him. The shape of things to come was always going to be the innocent complaining of their own shapelessness. Cut to fit in to the point they do not
3/ So often the Gendocrat class Weiner belongs to can write these people off, "let them eat puberty blockers", "only 1% ever complain" etc. But the flippant dismissals of aristocrats have a poor historical pedigree and now Scott faces his rhetorical and metaphorical guiloteen.
4/ Having positioned himself as some scion of gay male political activism Scott now faces a nemesis worthy of Shakespeare. A young, innocent gay man pointing out to him what was contemporaneously bloody obvious to us. For which Scott and pals pilloried and cancelled us.
5/ Sen. Weiner, you have been more than complicit in a barbaric and insidious form of gay conversion. A form that told young men not that the world should change to accept them as they are, but that they should be cut and drugged so fit in. This will be your political epitaph
6/ When all the dust on this one day settles, Sen Weiner, you will be a historical absurdity, a gay man who actively campaigned for an ideology that harmed gay men. No wonder you twitch and stroke your chin. No wonder you look like a hunted animal. I think you can feel a reckoning coming.

1/ The 2012 Tavistock patient survey showed 80-90% of the teenagers there were same sex attracted. Something like 30% were on the autism spectrum. Staff at the Tavistock had a dark joke "soon there will be no gay people left". Senior leadership resigned because Mermaids ran riot
2/ This is the real gay conversion therapy and it's the real drive to sterilise the autistic. In Hannah Barnes ground-breaking work "Time to think" she set out how ideology came first at the Tavistock and children were collateral damage. Now the government wants to repeat this.
3/ "Puberty blocker" is a grotesque euphemism for chemical castration agents that have in the past been given to sex offenders. They are serious drugs that cause serious harm and 90% of kids on PBs progress to cross sex hormones rendering them infertile.
1/ Zack and pals are peddling the attack line “no jury convicted them of terrorism” to try to undermine the sentences in this case. Let me explain why this is fundamentally wrong. In a criminal trial the jury is the judge of the facts and the judge is the judge of the law.
2/ What that means for practical purposes is the jury decides whether they are sure beyond a reasonable doubt that the prosecution has proved its case and the Judge decides issues of law like what evidence is fair to go before them. Law also includes sentence.
3/ It has never been the position juries pass sentence or play any part in the sentencing process, that is not our system and in fact, Counsel are expressly forbidden from mentioning sentence consequences to juries during the trial because sentencing submissions are for the Judge
1/ I went to Parliament to watch the Women and Equalities Committee. The chair of the EHRC Mary-Ann Stephenson (MAS) and CEO John Kirkpatrick were giving evidence, the other adults in the room were Rosie Duffield and Rebecca Paul MP. Other than that it was the slow kid's table.
2/ This is the committee chair Sarah Owen MP, she is EXTREMELY fair unless you're Rosie or Sarah when she'll look at Nadia Whittome and mutter. She also thinks intersex means people are neither male or female and didn't like it much when the chair of the EHRC corrected that.
3/ So the committee kicks off with about half an hour of the kids table saying it is COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE to ever tell if a bloke is a bloke if he puts a dress on. MAS has to patiently explain people have eyes and seem to be able to work it out. MPs think this is genocide.
1/ When trans activists aren't harassing lesbians, one of their preferred tactics is to silence gay men
One such gay man, Associate Professor Dr. Foran of Keble College, Oxford has just had to cancel a lecture series because some people go to university to shout and not to learn
2/ Associate Professor Foran is one of our foremost legal minds on the subject of sex and gender as it relates to equality law. He has a nationally significant mind and his work has been referenced in the UK Supreme Court by the Law Lords.
3/ He does genuine public good by contributing to legal debates on sex/gender, moreover, you might take the view that him offering free public lectures on the subject in addition to the hours he puts in to public debates on this is an overall good thing
1/ Yet again, the BBC frame this issue as an emotive plea for personal liberty and understanding. This is legally illiterate and glosses over the fact that trans activists seek the complete destruction of the category of sex in law with all the implications that has. Such as...
2/ Women's prisons. Women's sports. Women's private spaces for the purposes of dignity, safety and security.
This has a knock on effect on gay and lesbian rights. If there's no coherent sex category in law, you can't have the same sex orientation protected characteristic.
3/ It is presently unlawful in Australia for lesbians to meet in taxpayer funded public buildings and many lesbians have gone back to underground secretive arrangements. That is the prospectus Nick is pushing here with his ill informed approach centred on personal liberty.
1/ Transvestites have finally been told "no" today, and it's at least 10 year overdue. It's no surprise to any of us that the middle class sensibilities of the media want to focus on sad transvestites rather than raped women in shelters or autistic kids given puberty blockers.
2/ This extraordinary movement of men in dresses literally went to the supreme court and tried to render the gay/lesbian protected characteristic "meaningless" in the words of the law lords and ladies. They literally tried to get their rights by taking ours.
3/ And that's just the gay right's angle. If they had won, there would be no such thing as female sports, the female prison estate, female only political association, they would have destroyed the legal concept of female. Because, let's be honest, male was never their goal.
