The Daily Mirror has picked up on the story that the police are now trying to charge me for defending myself against a deranged and dangerous trans activist. Here is the statement I gave them because I have a feeling they won't publish it.

"The activist known to me as 'Tarquin' spent a weekend harassing attendees at last years Battle of ideas conference, which I attended. After a day of this, I threw his phone away to prevent him from harassing others. He is receiving legal advice from convicted sex offender 'Stephanie' Hayden, who has been harassing me for years. I believe Tarquin was briefly arrested himself for his campaigns against gender critical campaigners and despite a 400 page evidence file provided by myself and several other of his victims, the police decided on no further action. This is part of a long history of the police acting as a goon squad for trans rights activists and I look forward to exposing him and them in court."" For full context, this is what Tarquin was up to at the Battle Of Ideas event. This took place at a panel discussion on violence against women.

This is Tarquin, threatening to disrupt my ability to work in the US. Me and some of his other victims handed in a 400-page evidence file to UK police, which led to his arrest by @metpoliceuk. Yesterday they decided NFA (No further action). Image

No idea why they decided this. Tarquin has released medical records online, he has 'swatted' people, he targets the parents of his victims. He's a sadistic psychopath who should be sectioned. @metpoliceuk saw 400 pages of evidence of this and dropped the charges.

Wow! The bearded 'transwoman' rapist had targeted me, @jk_rowling @RosieDuffield1 @KemiBadenoch and many more in various online rants. This is the guy the BBC honoured with female pronouns.

Here are two of the authors of the paper which argued that pregnant 'transmen' (women who identify as trans) should continue to take testosterone during pregnancy-- despite the high risk of birth defects-- because there was too much emphasis on newborns having 'normative bodies'. Sally Hines and 'Ruth' Pearce.Image

From our piece in The Glinner Update: "They claim that the desire for ā€˜normal foetal outcomes’ is problematic because it is born of a wish to protect babies ā€œFrom becoming anything other than ā€˜normalā€™ā€ and reflects the ā€œHistorical and ongoing social practices for creating ā€˜ideal’ and normative bodies.ā€ grahamlinehan.substack.com/p/what-fresh-h…

A few years ago I had an idea for a stage musical based on Father Ted, an idea I felt was equal to and respectful of the enduring affection many held for the residents of Craggy Island’s parochial house.

The story touched on themes that seemed big enough for a West End stage. Jimmy Mulville of Hat Trick Productions @HatTrickProd was excited by my pitch and accompanied me to Dublin to convince my old writing partner Arthur Mathews to embark with us on the project. We then enlisted Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy, who like Arthur, was one of my oldest friends and one whose development as a songwriter I had watched with delight over the previous three decades.

We began work on a script, encountering all the usual obstacles. Our first drafts were messy and overlong but soon we discovered the key to each character's story and it came alive.

Neil started delivering songs—each one better than the last. Through them, Ted revealed new, hilarious depths to his frustration and Mrs.Doyle had an absolute showstopper that I’m sure would have brought the audience to their feet.

All this to carry the audience merrily along to what I felt was the show's greatest strength, its ending. It was an ending that wrapped up the characters’ stories once and for all, and perhaps shook off some of the gloom associated with the show since Dermot Morgan’s tragic death only days after our final wrap party in 1998.

While we were working on the show, trans activists were busy trying to destroy my life.

I had noticed some years before that troubled children were placing themselves on an irreversible medical pathway that was deeply damaging to their health and peace of mind. In this, they were encouraged by legacy LGB organizations that had catastrophically lost their way. When I began speaking up about it, trans activists reacted as they always do, by contacting possible employers, smearing my name in propaganda outlets like Pink News, which would later come after JK Rowling when she entered the fray. The police were sent to my door multiple times. I was sued by a succession of activists, one of whom was a child predator and vexatious litigant.

But I felt that my colleagues, who were so close to me during all this, who saw the effect that the abuse was having on my life and my ability to make a living, would stand by my side.

That didn’t happen.

The last time I worked on the Father Ted musical. We presented the whole show to executive producer Sonia Friedman and her team. The story was almost there. The songs were exquisite. We'd even worked on a few rudimentary dance routines to give an idea of what audiences would see on stage. But then, I received a call to go to London and the Hat Trick offices. There I was told to remove my name from the show or it would not be made. Jimmy Mulville offered me £200,000 to do so. The money would have been incredibly useful as my other means of earning a living had largely disappeared.

But in the end, I refused for many reasons, not the least of which was that I did not want the legacy of Father Ted to be built on the ruined bodies of gay, autistic, abused and gender-nonconforming children.

Recently, my position in this debate has been vindicated by the findings of the #CassReport , which found that ā€˜trans healthcare’ in the UK has an inadequate evidence base, a toxic atmosphere within gender clinics that led to whistleblowers being vilified and smeared, and a rush to medicalize children without sufficient regard for the long-term consequences of such interventions.

Once at a meeting, Sonia Friedman, said to me ā€œYou’re on the wrong side of history.ā€ I never received an apology from her. I would still appreciate one.

My beliefs—that biological sex is real and important, that women need single sex spaces for their safety and privacy, that their sports should be fair and finally that children should not be subjected to experimental medical protocols—are specifically protected in British law. Furthermore, polling shows that the same views are held by the majority of the British population. Mulville will not explain the problem he has with these views because he knows it will put him out of step with the majority of decent people in this country.

For too long now, Mulville has been sitting on a musical that would be a surefire hit. He is doing this for no other reason than to please the gender cultists on his staff and in the wider, captured media landscape. It’s pathetic, cruel and cowardly. If he doesn't want to make the show, he should get out of the way and let me do it.

Please share this message with your networks and use the hashtag #FreeFatherTed when you can. While it might not result in the return of my work, it will certainly make it more challenging for Mulville (and Friedman) to pretend they had nothing to do with a disgraceful act of preemptive cultural vandalism.Image @jordanbpeterson @megynkelly @TheBabylonBee @JesseKellyDC @jtLOL @HeatherEHeying @BretWeinstein @joeroganhq

If you're on the fence about admitting you got this issue wrong, please take comfort in the knowledge that you weren't alone. Gender identity is a mass delusion and there's no shame for falling for one of those. You're only human. Remember, Arthur Conan Doyle was tricked by two children into believing in fairies. And journalists have been working hard to look the other way while women found their words disappearing and their space in the world shrinking. It's not all on you.

By the way, have any of the people who have written hit pierces or condemned me over the last few days condemned...(@patrickharvie this thread is for you especially)

1. @TalkTV pundit Peter Tatchell for his paedophilia advocacy? Image 2. @Freda_Wa11ace for his sexual harassment of a disabled woman? reduxx.info/trans-activist…

Not to blow @afneil's mind after he very graciously unblocked me, but this in my opinion is the worst story of the whole fight. It is the stuff of horror movies but I assure him it's all true. (Short thread) WPATH, ostensibly the world leader on 'trans healthcare', links to a website that is a repository of 'erotic' stories about castration. 40% of the stories are tagged 'minor'. In other words, pornography about castrating children.

Where do you stand on @frizfrizzler, a @MockTheWeek writer targeting a female comedian because of her feminist views, getting her cancelled, and then stealing her spot?

Let's have another round of ABUSIVE STRAIGHT MEN INVADING LESBIAN DATING APPS.

Morgan Page still being on the Stonewall website is a great symbol of how that charity despises lesbians.

5 years on and this man is still using the courts to harass his victims. He owes money everywhere, his cases always end in humiliation for him. He’s been arrested for sexual assault, assault and fraud.

Elevate and amplify the voices of GC gay men and women and maybe we can undo some of the damage done over the last decade by narcissists like Smith. Sadly she's gone from us, but here's lesbian hero Magdalen Berns skewering Smith's mate Alok, a bloke who once said that little girls were "kinky".

Can't wait to see @frankieboyle's material on men in Scottish prisons. Surely the story's so big by now that even he can't ignore it? Some of the comedians who have publicly supported gender ideology. Jesters in a corrupt court who participated in the attempt to put a double-rapist in a Scottish prison. #JestersInACorruptCourt ImageImageImageImage

Just heard that another comedian, @marksteel, is bewildered that I might be in this fight. So here's a thread just to clear it up for another left wing male comedian who doesn't seem to think women exist. It's because of these kids, Mark, who had their breasts removed before they were out of their teens @mrmarksteel

I know "internal politics at the Greens" doesn't seem like a big news story, but the same dynamics are playing out all over UK society. Activists within @TheGreenParty are silencing feminists and whistleblowers... Just as activists within @HatTrickProd blocked the Father Ted musical, just like activists in the Old Vic robbed London of the @TerryGilliam version of Sondheim's Into The Woods...

That's who's behind this! It's the new pregnant joker! Pregnant joker could have been a funny story if trans-identified males weren't actually making videos about harvesting organs from women. thedirect.com/article/joker-…

The people who like to creep on me when I'm having a coffee are panicking because I posted images from their discord. Not so nice to have your privacy invaded, is it, chaps? I like the fact that cueball here thinks he's one of the kids.

When I use that term, I'm referring specifically to the men who use a trans identity to score oppression points. These men are predominately white so it's important to note it. By calling themselves trans, white men can place themselves on the same level as an oppressed minority. That's why I think of gender identity ideology as *literally* a white power movement.
