A Week in the War on Women: Monday 30th August - Sunday 4th September
Monday 30th August - This Is Child Abuse
THE DAILY MAIL: A mother claims that her 8-eight-year old son is ‘transgender’.
Jess Bratton told the Daily Mail that her 8-year-old son, Logan, ‘never ever liked boys' stuff’ such as ‘getting muddy and playing football’. Jess tried to persuade him into more traditionally masculine pursuits, to get him ‘to be a boy’, but he always preferred dolls and make-up.
When he was a toddler, Jess discovered Logan trying to remove his own penis with a pair of scissors. This, she says, made her realise that her child was transgender and so she decided that Logan would be ‘raised as a girl’.
He was three-years-old.
It is no coincidence that Logan’s little sister was born just prior to this incident. He went from being an only child with his mother’s undivided attention to vying with a new-born baby girl for her affection. As Jess herself says, Logan's ‘desire to be a girl’ intensified after his sister, Lylah, was born.
So now this little boy is told that he’s a girl, he wears a wig and false eyelashes and is being affirmed in his new gender at a ‘very supportive’ school. Logan's teacher showed his class a YouTube video about being transgender and now friends think he’s way ‘cooler’ than they did before because he’s trans.
Logan has a referral from his GP to the NHS Gender Identity Development Service and is currently waiting for an appointment. Jess told the paper that she’ll be happy for him to take hormone blockers to suppress puberty and for him to undergo ‘gender reassignment’ surgery once he turns eighteen.
A little boy, already taught that his interests are ‘wrong’, suddenly has to compete with a baby girl for his mother’s attention and discovers that a trans identity will make him more popular at school. Is nobody joining the dots?
This poor child doesn’t stand a chance.
Tuesday 31st August - To Delay Justice Is To Deny Justice
THE HERALD: Marion Millar’s case has been continued to a hearing on 4th October.
Marion was charged with a ‘hate crime’ under the Malicious Communications Act for tweets posted in 2019 and 2020. Her appearance at a preliminary bail hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Tuesday followed a long-drawn out process by the Scottish police and months of being messed around by the court system.
Tuesday was the first time she received a copy of the Crown's complaint setting out the charges against her. The complaint alleges she directed threatening or abusive behaviour at three people via social media contrary to Section 38(1) of the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010.
The case was continued for a hearing on 4th of October so that the court can consider a number of preliminary legal issues.
So another long and stressful month ahead,.
We stand with you, Marion. Women won’t wheesht.
Wednesday 1st September - The Land Of Make Believe #1
THE TIMES: The Scottish census will allow people to ‘self-identify’ their sex.
National Records Scotland (NRS) has confirmed that respondents to Scotland’s 2022 census can answer the question about sex based on self-identification, not reality.
Instead of basing their answer on fact, participants can complete the male/female question according to their self-declared gender identity, regardless of their biological sex or legal status. The guidance notes, published on Tuesday, advise that, “If you’re transgender the answer you give can be different from what is on your birth certificate. You do not need a gender recognition certificate”.
Following the question on sex, there will also be a voluntary question about transgender status.
Earlier this year, Roger Halliday, the Scottish government’s chief statistician, produced a paper making the astonishing claim that only rarely is a person’s sex necessary in the recording of data.
Professor Alice Sullivan of UCL’s Social Research Institute refutes Halliday’s policy and stresses the importance of recording biological sex in data collection. “Those of us who use quantitative data overwhelmingly believe that sex is important. It matters across a wide range of domains: education, wages, crime, political attitudes, religion - you name it, sex is almost always a big predictor.”
Thursday 2nd September - Wi Told You So
NEW YORK POST: To absolutely nobody’s surprise, the so-called transwoman at the centre of the Wi Spa story is a convicted sex offender.
In June a Los Angeles branch of Wi Spa was in the news after a customer complained that a naked man was using a female-only area. We’ve probably all seen the footage of this warrior woman protesting to reception staff that a man was exposing himself to women and children in the hot tub. The man claimed to ‘self-identify as a woman’ so, according to state law, was legally entitled to be in the female-only area.
The footage went viral and enraged the gender stasi whose take on it ranged from ‘It’s a right wing hoax’ to ‘Oh that poor oppressed trans lady’ to ‘There’s no problem, just don’t look at the poor woman’s penis’.
The incident was framed as some sort of anti-trans campaign, rather than an egregious attack on women’s safety and privacy.
The liberal media was dripping with hyperbole and faux outrage and the usual suspects were leading the charge.
This week a press release issued by the Los Angeles Police Department revealed that the man at the centre of the controversy, 52-year-old Darren Agee Merager, has been charged with five felony counts of indecent exposure relating to the incident at the Wi Spa in June. Four women and one child have come forward to give evidence, saying they witnessed Merager’s partially erect penis in the female-only hot tub.
Of course, Merager is claiming to be the victim of ‘transphobic harassment’ (a line to which Pink News is still clinging desperately).
But Merager is an old hand at this con; he’s a registered sex offender with two prior convictions of indecent exposure for offences which took place in 2002 and 2003. Furthermore, according to court records, Merager is also accused of exposing himself to women and children at a swimming pool in December 2018.
It seems that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department was onto his game even then, circulating an internal flyer that explained, “Merager claims to identify as female so he can access women’s locker rooms and showers”.
Still pretending there’s no problem with self ID, Owen?
Speaking of which…
Friday 3rd September - The Land Of Make Believe #2
THE TIMES SCOTLAND: Self ID is to go ahead in Scotland despite some controversy around the public consultation results.
Scotland’s SNP-Green coalition is to bring forward contentious self-ID legislation, despite questions being raised over the results of the government consultation.
Under the proposals, anyone could alter their legal sex without any medical evidence or diagnosis after just three months of ‘living in their new gender’ (whatever that means). Furthermore, the minimum age will be lowered from 18 to 16.
A government-backed consultation on self-ID found that of 215 organisations, including councils, NHS boards, political parties and charities, questioned a ‘small majority’ were broadly in favour of relaxing the rules.
However, no overall breakdown of the 16,843 individual responses is available which, policy analysts, Murray Blackburn Mackenzie, describe as “A significant omission”.
Saturday 4th September - Passing On The Mantel
The Guardian reported on an interview with Hilary Mantel in Italian magazine, La Repubblica.
Towards the end of the interview, Mantel spoke out against gender identity ideology and the vitriolic reaction to JK Rowling’s essay.
This is the text of the original interview in La Repubblica.
And this is how The Guardian reported on it, in rather more loaded terms.
But at least Mantel’s comments get a mention in the online version. They’ve been completely expunged from the hard copy. Why could that be?
Also Today - Without Fear Or Favour?
Leicestershire Police were showing off their Tactical Support Team’s shiny new riot shield on social media today.
Their shiny new riot shield which bears the trans flag.
If it wasn’t already obvious that Leicestershire Police have nailed their colours firmly to the mast, this tweet tells us exactly whose side they’re on. And it’s not women’s.
Sunday 5th September - Leave Them Kids Alone
Thank you to @genderisharmful for highlighting this scheme to indoctrinate Irish school children in gender woo.
Comhairle na nÓg are child and youth councils in Ireland’s 31 local authorities. Their aim is to “Give children and young people the opportunity to be involved in the development of local services and policies”.
For 2021 Dublin City Comhairle na nÓg are focusing on ‘LGBTI+ issues’. (Because, post-pandemic, the city’s young people have nothing more important to concern them?)
They have launched an ‘LGBTQIA+ pledge’ which includes a commitment to ‘normalise’ and ‘respect’ preferred pronouns. Their ‘pledge packs’ are about to sent out to secondary schools across the city.
This appears to have the support of Dublin City Council.
And the Lord Mayor.
Teaching children to accept as true whatever adults tell them, despite their own instincts and all evidence to the contrary, and to be complicit in their deception.
We call that grooming.
See you next week.
It's bad enough that the police are advertising political messages at all, but on their riot shields? Their RIOT SHIELDS?
Doesn't anyone remember what they *did* with those things during the miners strike and countless conflicts since? These are not fun accessories, they are at best necessary tools for protection against violence and - all too often - weapons for committing it.
And *that's* where they choose to paint their - already deeply worrying - political slogans?
Oh, the ubiquitous trope Munchie Mums parrot about kids tryna cut off their willies. WTF was a three year old doing near scissors? Did he partly sever it and need hospital treatment? Stitches? Why wasn't he immediately sent for psychiatric evaluation? Why weren't Social Services involved? Makes me sick and livid 🤬
