This for me is the key quote from the GMN response to the proposed 'Conversion Practices' Bill, and why I think it such enormous folly to direct attention and vitriol to individual trans identifying men. This is an attempt to capture the entire criminal justice system.

I really hope people will use their finite energies and resources to tackle this, rather than just trade insults on line. This is most definitely not a drill.

"In requiring a court to embrace a politically contested concept where one side of the debate believes in the existence of that concept and one does not, the court becomes, in effect a religious court siding with those who have such a belief." While some are frothing about 'perverts' THIS is what actual politicians want to see made LAW.

"By way of example, a private counsellor who told a young patient to their professional view was that they were suffering internalised homophobia and manifesting a transgender identity as a result could in theory be prosecuted for a single activity intended and having the purpose of supressing a transgender identity. Given the interim Cass report[15] emphasises the importance of multi-disciplinary intervention, counselling and therapy, it is surprising that such services are placed in jeopardy of criminal prosecution."

As I go further down the rabbit hole with regard to how children are treated by those who insist that gender identity is the preferred organising category, I come across this interesting book from 2017. Image It’s basic premise is that trans children have always existed and denial of this is - of course - genocide. I had not realised this word had begun to misused as early as 2017, or that we could have such a thing as ‘procedural genocide’. Image

A ratio for the ages. And a further interesting evolution of the word ‘transphobia’. It seems to be evolving from a word that could have ended a career even a year ago, to a word that now provokes mockery or proud declaration.

Can you think of any other self-identifying civil rights movement that followed this trajectory? I can’t.

Image But behind the justified anger something darker lurks. This man is not ‘trans’. He is part of a minority fetish called ‘sissy’. Image

I remember once having a chat and a drink with what seemed like a very nice man, intelligent and educated with a lovely girlfriend. He seemed genuinely shocked when I said that if he got on a tube carriage and the only other person was a woman, she would be carrying out an… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… He was 6ft and sporty - he would be physically stronger than any woman on the tube, and a match for the majority of men. He had never had to see the world through this lens and hence never considered it, despite being a lovely bloke etc

Interestingly for @HantsPolice - who do not appear to have arrested @HarryTheOwl101 yet - are the number of views and likes on this. 23.7k people approved. That doesn’t make it ‘right’ - but it does pose an interesting question about the practicalities of criminalisation. Image Do you arrest everyone who likes and shares it? Or just a handful? Which ones? Why? What makes them criminally culpable and others not? Is it rather high time the police backed off from attempting to manage hurt feelings and offence?

If you will not define something, you cannot protect it. To say that everything is fine, sex has never meant anything other than birth sex, is to ignore the deliberately distorted drafting of the GRA and the use to which that has been put. The GRA says that gender is sex and if a man choose a female gender he is of the female sex for ‘all’ purposes, save where exceptions apply, most notably in sports, inheritance of titles, and the title of mother.

This is unimpressive from @CollegeofPolice - gives reason for its new guidance on NCHIs as

"This followed a legal ruling that sought to strike a balance between freedom of speech and protecting vulnerable members of the public."

college.police.uk/article/record… When what you meant to type was 'this followed a decision in the Court of Appeal that declared our existing approach was unlawful'

It wasn't that you were 'unbalanced' - its rather that you didn't give any consideration to Article 10 at all - the 'victim's' perception was King.

Interesting how so many wish to defend King that they cannot see how this defence hastens the collapse of this house of cards. He meant Cis men! So you accept Cis men can’t get pregnant? So you must also accept transwomen can’t either. So you accept there are two types of person. Those whose bodies developed to produce large gametes - have the potential to be pregnant if everything is working - and those who produce small gametes - will never, ever be pregnant. And we call these different types ‘female’ and ‘male’.

Open letter from @ebswa to @MyCafcass. Either publish your guidance on children and gender identity - and it’s evidence base - or withdraw it. It’s harmful to children and puts your practitioners at risk ebswa.org/post/open-lett… My comments here - now with link to actual guidance.

Interesting. A dancer elevates ‘inclusivity’ above ‘being able to dance’. I have asked her if I, with my artificial leg, can be ‘included’ also, even though it is impossible for me to dance as a ballerina. There are some pretty hard limits to ‘inclusion’ after all. Seriously. Why cannot I, with only one leg, identify as a prima ballerina and be included with professional dancers and be celebrated for my stunning bravery? Why I am excluded? Isn’t this ‘hateful’ to deny me what I know to be my identify!

I hope to be talking about the GRR Bill with @andrewdoyle_com on Sunday. So taking some time to gather my thoughts. Let’s start with ‘fraud’ which Tatchell claims is a ‘very strict’ protection. Has he read the McConnell judgment I wonder? The judgment I am discussing is here from 2019 judiciary.uk/wp-content/upl…

So far my experiment is yielding exactly the results I had anticipated. I am asking a variety of people 2 simple questions - do women have a right to single sex female spaces? If not, why not? Mostly I am ignored. If I am answered it is with insults Image The way in which people refuse to answer a question often yields as much useful information as an actual answer. I like these questions because they cut to the chase. To answer requires acknowledgment of the class ‘woman’ or explanation of why you reject it. Image

Key point, impact of Scottish amendments

"Taken together, these amendments remove any requirement for third party verification or evidence from the process." "The modified law (the 2004 Act) applies to the reserved matter ... through its inter-relationship with the Equality Act 2010 (the 2010 Act). The 2010 Act provides Great Britain’s legal framework to protect the rights of individuals and advance equality of opportunity for all"

I was very intrigued by @eventbrite recent response to my Data Subject Access Request and I thought you would be too. Most of the 168 files were heavily redacted - but some gems appeared. Is this the view of @eventbrite or a complainant? This is also interesting - but this person in the minority with a wish to respond. It is stated over and over that EB will not respond to any inquiries about this. It does not seem that the ‘hateful’ element of the event is ever identified.

The emergence of Freda Wallace as a talking head on various news channels is interesting. Wallace is well known for harassment, threats and reporting people to the police archive.is/https://twitte…* Either this person really is the best that the ‘trans community’ can offer or is the only person willing to speak when asked. Either way, it is a clear indication of how debased and corrupt are current attempts at ‘debate’.

"a sign that says ‘men only’ looks very different on a bathroom door than a courthouse door”

Some welcome sense from the USA about sex segregation for toilets in schools

law.justia.com/cases/federal/… Schools have a duty to keep children safe; sex segregation in toilets is part of this. The school had gone to great lengths to consider the needs of transgender students and would not 'force' them into the toilet of their birth sex, but provided sex neutral facilities.

This woman asserted that Tucker Carlson calls women ‘pigs, dogs and whores’. I asked for some proof. She provides a thread by a woman who has blocked me so I can’t read it. But the replies don’t suggest anything of the sort. Any screenshots for the blocked? If anyone, of any ‘side’, of any claimed ‘gender identity’ or ‘feminist’ persuasion is going to make such serious claims about anyone, you had better come with your receipts. It’s certainly not good enough to demand I ‘do my own research’. He who asserts, must prove.

I am delighted to announce an early Christmas present. After an 'investigation' spanning 2 years into my tweets, my regulator has confirmed that the allegations against me are dismissed, but that it will be offering me 'advice'. Which I will of course, read with interest. I may perhaps be so bold as to offer regulators some 'advice' of my own.
1. Please read and understand the relevant case law around Article 10 ECHR so that you may effectively balance 'offence claimed' against a breach of a fundamental human right.

Harry Miller went to the Court of Appeal and won. While most journalists and ‘human rights’ lawyers sat around doing nothing, or worse, actively promoting the dismantling of human rights. Is ‘Braveheart’ really the best context you can supply here? But let me speak to you in the language that you understand. Which character in that film would have embraced the tactics of totalitarianism and oppression? That’s you, that is.
