I’ve always maintained trans ideology is the biggest misogynistic movement around today. Non-trans men are jumping on the anti-women bandwagon as well as trans-id men. Trans ideology is supposedly a leftie liberal movement but these people are right at home with their fascist brothers.

‘To right wing men, we are private property. To left wing men, we are public property’. (Andrea Dworkin quote). This explains how leftie liberals can so happily take away women (& children’s) rights and safeguards.

Exactly. And now, what is our utility and value? Same as it always was? What will it be in the future? Over our life course, to us, or to men, or to society or those in power in society? Political parties have cottoned on to 'women and girls' rights' as some kind of quick win, a shiny veneer, then they relentlessly squeeze the value out of those soundbites, then do exactly the opposite expecting us to sit around patiently in awe, nodding along if not applauding them for their enlightened values.

May I quickly say, again, that Trans Rights is NOT a Left vs. Right issue. Those Leftists who support militant TRAs, have been hoodwinked. UK Left parties (Lab/ Lib/ Green) have all been hijacked by small numbers of TRAs who control their head office/party machinery. Trans ideology merely pretends to be like a 'liberation struggle', (eg. Womens Rights / LGB Rights/ Racial Equality) to get sympathy and support from gullible people who want to 'be kind'. Trans is a clever and ruthless cuckoo in the nest, within left political parties.

Ed Davey identifies as a liberal, but he’s actually an authoritarian nobhead

Agree. If that’s the best ‘leader’ they have …. Well … they’re nothing but a political nuisance. Smug progressives. Can’t abide them.

The smug progressives sounds like a good name for a band. ‘Can’t abide with me’ by the smug progressives. So much for centre ground politics.

"You may remember, of course, that Ferring Pharmaceuticals is a ‘long-standing’ supporter of the Liberal Democrats and has donated over £1.4 million to the party. Ferring Pharmaceuticals manufactures the puberty blocker Triptolerin."

Evil...using other people's children, other people's hard-won rights, as fodder for profit and power while it lasts. Most sickening though is the gloss of social justice it's doused itself in.

How is it allowed that a political

Party can be supported like this by a drug company? It is a clear conflict of interest. Why is this not widely reported by the media and why is it not a scandal?

Expand full comment

I'm sorry, but I know for a fact that Ferring Pharmaceuticals gave money to the Lib Dems because of their support for Europe, during the whole Brexit debacle, and not because of puberty blockers. Ferring continued to give for this reason until Johnson finally "Got Brexit Done". I'm a huge supporter of Graham here, Sex Matters, Helen Joyce, Women's Place UK etc etc, but I have to tell you that you are wrong about the reasons for these donations to the Lib Dems.

I used to be a Lib Dem and have left them because of Ed Davey's craven cowardice and the manipulation of a small group of rabid TRAs at the top of the party, so I am no friend of the Lib Dem party nationally. But I know this to be the truth, and I think you should know too.

Expand full comment

The point is not that the manufacturing of puberty blockers is their reason for supporting the Lib-Dems. It’s that the recipients of the donation would probably be unwilling to adopt policies that conflict with their donor’s interests. Given the presence of rabid TRAs (as you describe them) at the top of the party that seems likely.

Exactly. This is seen as a side issue and worth pinning it on to the coattails of other ones to get it through and passed with barely anyone knowing (doing a Dentons). I constantly see conflicts of interest - no one is going to risk upsetting the apple cart if their wider funding and influence (or office costs, mortgage and career or after politics income, directorship or book deal) will be pulled. It's also hard when all experts on a subject are from the industry that needs to be regulated. I am also conflicted about stances and issues, but parties don't seem to realise where our red lines are.

Women and our rights are not a 'side issue'.

This is it in essence: money. The Lib Dems voted to stop women's pensions at 60 without a phasing in. They are most definitely anti-female and about as liberal as a bird cage. For that man to say that he has no concerns in light of what has been happening in both Scotland and Ireland, he really needs to be put on the spot and forced to answer the difficult questions.

The same thing occurred in the SNP when men (and, sadly, some women) were perfectly happy to see women and children harmed in order to placate these deviant men. When is someone going to stand up in parliament and state that these men WANT access to all things female because they are driven by sex and porn? It is not a question of poor, wee downtrodden creatures. They are bullies driven by sex feelz. We know it and they know it and the politicians know it.

Some politicians have 'trans' children and are happy to force other children down the path of mutilation instead of saying a very loud, NO, to their own offspring and leaving the children of others alone. Primarily, the front-line movement is driven by sex feelz of autogynephiliacs. They are a subset of men. Men can deal with them by making spaces available, but I suspect that most men know perfectly well that these men WANT access to female spaces and opportunities because it gives them a huge sexual kick, and that is the beginning and end of it.

Women would never treat men like this, yet they seem to collude, many of them, in putting us in harm's way - even the ones with daughters. They make me sick. It is about money and about politics and corporate hegemony, but, ultimately, the front-line foot soldiers are in it for the sex feelz. That is their reward for doing the donkey work. Many men are our friends in this fight, though, and we should not forget that.

Amazing how the Melbourne rally could be misreported as it has and that the wonderful Moira Deeming should be treated in this way. Thanks for the info on the pathetic Lib Dems as well.

I am just doing a post on it all.

Also well done to the brave women (and men) at the Hobart rally

I've seen reporting that acknowledges the Nazi (hired pretend Nazis?) gatecrashed the event, but as the rally was "anti-trans" i.e. anti-trans-identified-men-being-humoured-as-women it's still "bad" and supposedly worthy of expulsion.

Expand full comment

The rally was pro-women, under the banner Let Women Speak. Kellie-Jay Keen argues that biological men should not be allowed in women’s spaces (changing rooms, toilets, prisons) or to compete in women’s sport. That involves the unfortunate truth that trans women are not the same as biological women. It seems reasonable for a female MP to take part in that discussion. Most people don’t consider it “bad” to allow freedom of speech, and with that comes allowing the expression of views which you may not like.

Sean McCloud. Moron. Unfit for public office. Ed Davey - woman suppressor. How can anyone vote for these misogynists? Other misogynists I guess. It’s is unbelievable the number of men in politics that are happy to support a woman hating extremist cult and spell it out in their pathetic tweets. Far from being the most marginalised group in society trans people appear to have more rights than anyone and especially women. Are Davey and his ilk so easily sucked in by lies that they spew the RightSpeak on cue. Are they capable of critical thinking? Don’t vote for these men. They are fools.

Many are saying that the neo Nazis were allowed a free rein. It was witnessed and filmed. That could only come from the top, and the TRAs were allowed too close to the women who were speaking, and allowed to intimidate them. I have often thought that the powers that be want women to shut up and go away, and they are using state terror tactics to force them to do so, by implicating them in the whole right-wing nonsense. It seems that we really are to blame for everything.

In a crowded field of misogynistic, patronising, ignorant gits, Ed Davey must be up there with the best.

“We don’t understand the facts and the experience” says a man who has never had to live with the fear that women deal with on a daily basis. And all this on top of the horrendous scenes in Australia and the moronic ‘politicians’ with their vile abuse of women. I could now go on a rant but I think I’m all ranted out…..but you get the picture fellow travellers I’m sure.

Sorry to be the bearer of sad tidings but 'liberal' got parasitised years ago. Authoritarian, regressive, conform-to-cult-rules-or-you're-a-bigot 'progressives' turned 'liberal' mindlessly illiberal.

Old-school actual liberals apparently now call themselves 'classical liberal'. At least in some circles, like ex-subscibers to the NYT/Guardian, ex-Labour/Democrat voters.

I'm rather looking forward to any nice Liberals that try to knock on my door, shove trashy leaflets through it or risk asking me if I would ever vote for them or to retain their seats.

Our local one pretends it's the first time he's met me every time we meet but maybe it's all the Ferring drugs addling his mind.

I'm keeping their leaflets ready to remind me. I'd love a photoshopped Moleyfied version I can generously hand straight back to them.

And get your ID or Voter Authority Certificate sorted everyone.

We must be tactical and strategic, though, and target the ones who have patronised us and tried to make fools of us. Election posters and leaflets detailing their misogyny in clear, terse and accurate statements. Preferably quotes, too, so they can't wriggle out of it all.

That's what I meant - what they claim, then what they've actually said and done quoted underneath. Like Liberal Democrat myth busting. What they say...what they do. Sometimes they are told just don't say anything and it looks like that would be good advice for Ed Davey. He used to skirt the quasi middle of the road nice nice line but his behaviours over the past few years are batshit. I hadn't seen his 'advice' to Joanna Cherry. What a total tool he is.

We’ll be forever thankful for those huge brave souls who stood firm against the ‘trans’ cult. I envision statues erected to JKR all across Britain. She lives high up in the sunny upland airs breathed by the likes of Winston Churchill. Both of them, nearly single-handedly, shone an early light onto dark fascist forces overtaking the free world. Churchill warned people about the Nazi fascists, and JKR -- the ‘gender’ fascists.

Move over children, women, minorities, the people at the top of the victim pile now are white men with cocks and frocks. There is not a more powerful, nor apparently a more discriminated against group of vulnerable people than white men with cocks and frocks. Any man, but especially a white man, who feels life isn't giving him what he deserves can now don a frock (optional) and say, 'I am a woman' and every door in life shall be opened unto him. What the fvck has the world come to. Kellie -Jay is a brave warrior woman. I'll definitely be joining her party when she launches it.

I live in New Zealand and the bias from the media and comments from politicians has been quite depressing to hear.

My partner and I were at the Melbourne Let Women Speak rally. The women who spoke were incredible, but a few of them were absolutely ON FIRE. It was a bit of a life-changing event for me, not to get too hyperbolic. Anyway the rest of it was just surreal. TRAs punching horses in the stomach to get through?!?? And the one who grabbed the mic and was dragged out by police while we all yelled SHAME SHAME SHAME. The "Nazis" were so obviously a plant to discredit the event. We watched them being placed on the steps by the police. And when they were finally led out they went right in front of the TRAs who, if they were that anti-Nazi, didn't do anything. And I'd not believe any of those photos showing a bunch of solemn young men in black delivering a Nazi salute. They all looked as though they'd just changed out of their rainbow hot pants and feather boas from World Pride. But who doesn't like a Nazi with clean-shaven legs??

Just my 2 cents. Thirty five years ago a group of (professional) rabble rousers tried to start an incident at a local Gay Pride rally (which is what they used to be called). To make a long story short, it quickly became obvious that the local police had either hired them or put them up to it. Only the intervention from a representative of the mayor stopped the cops from arresting some of the gays they'd managed to provoke. I wouldn't assume the neo-nazis were TRAs - they were too militarized in their behavior, rather like boys from the police academy...

Being a Yank, it seems from my perspective that the liberal Democratic party in the UK is rather irrelevant anyway? Why are women still members of a party that is basically as helpful to people in need, from what i can glean, as the DNC in the US, ie not at all? Gender critical women should leave the liberal dems, the greens and any other party voting to remove women’s rights. In the UK forming additional parties does not seem as onerous as in the US. Why not a party of women, for women and by women (and men who choose to uphold the platform)? Research has shown matriarchies are naturally more equitable.

I know LOADS of stupid women that think "trans women" are harmless gay eunuchs or literal woman souls / lady brains in male bodies (which, in sports, have magically transformed into female bodies due to wrong-sex hormone use but simultaneously believe men and women have no inter-group differences because intragroup variation exists).

I dream of a world where the pig ignorant, intellectually lazy, and morally deficient are the only ones to suffer the consequences of the policies and worldviews they champion.

I know lots of women and men who only listen to mainstream CNN talking points on *transrights* and how ‘evil’ JK Rowling thinks all trans people are murderers. Because she had been designated as transphobic, most of these people refuse to listen to her or read anything she’s actually written.

Amazing how leftism, which used to be synonymous with rejecting authoritarian, imperial establishment exploitation is now synonymous with submitting to it? Self censorship and vilifying dissidents is now virtuous among liberals? Cute.

I know lots of people who think a man getting feminising cosmetic surgery "proves" he truly believes he is a woman (and so what? the depth of a delusion has no bearing on reality), magically transforms him into a woman, and/or means he cannot offend against women (guess they've never heard about impotent nevertheless sex-fueled serial killers). Even though they erroneously believe only men with plastic surgery are able to access female facilities, they should be aghast at that even if they are unaware that under self-ID all you have to do is write a letter about your feelings.

It appears that some women believe men are real women for just saying you are. No hormones therapy or surgery needed and we're just hateful bigots for merely suggesting about how we go about this and it's wider implications in society.

I think we should swiftly point to Gentile's claims (or any other of the countless other cases of men) that he admitted that he fantasized/fantasizes and wanted to rape like he imagined 'like a woman' would or might or could, as in, not with a and his penis but with an object or implement - as women do not have a penis so to breach that boundary that is what is used. When they recoil in horror maybe it will help them have a glimmer of clue into the thinking of these murderous, violent, vile men who will use any justification they can to do whatever damage they can to others, and usually women and anyone weaker, like a child or fundamentally anyone who they have access to. And then act as if they are perfectly 'normal' and their 'rights' are prime. And who was it he wanted to attack in this way?

I am so fed up with how clueless and enabling of cruelty through ignorance and indolence so many are. And all this oh but he's a poor tortured wee man nonsense. Put them in a car or room alone with him. Would they turn their back or ever relax? See if they would like to risk assess that. See if they keep their eyelids or can ever work or leave the house ever again.

Even those who would not rape or kill are, most of them, fetishists, and that alone should disbar them from female spaces, rights, etc. They get a sexual feelz kick out of making us feel uncomfortable and invading our spaces. The thing is, I think that a lot of men get that and secretly collude in it, while some women, too many, are utterly deluded individuals whose internalised misogyny is deep-rooted. It is almost always females who succumb to delusion and fantasy perpetrated by men. Jordan Peterson explains it very well, but he does not explain how we got to be this way - which I would put down to millennia of oppression by men. Too many women are willing to do men's bidding regardless of the ill effects on their own sex. It is a form of trauma, I think. Mr Peterson is great on many issues and refreshingly honest, but he sometimes gets it wrong with women.
