How is ‘Anti Terf Sussex’ not a hate group?

Expand full comment

Quite! Masked thugs with smoke bombs = students exercising their right to protest. Ribbons on a fence post = literal violence.

Is it because women and girls aren’t a “strand” according to the hate rubbish/police thing? They are terrorists though surely?

It should be incredible that Gills barrister asked the court to be mindful that a lengthy prison sentence might impede his client's future plans for gender reassignment surgery. It's not incredible at all, the same applies to the seemingly unconditional acceptance that this hideous, violent man, who brutally assaulted a woman, is himself a woman.

This man is clearly nothing but an opportunist, everyone involved knows it. But we been forced into an scandalous mess through misogynistic bullying, high level manipulation and cowardly acquiescence. Women's lives and basic safety mean so little to those who can affect change, that they will prioritise the feelings of a dangerous man who says he's a woman. Are we really so expendable and disposable?

It seems to get worse and worse. Where's the tipping point for the average person in the street? How much more of this insanity, 😡

I'm really really sick of women from any group or individually trying to include 'twans' as in 'I/we would like to say that I/we are not twansphobic and want twans to have their rights'..ad nauseum - cos twans is outright homophobia and misogyny. I just want women to stop saying it as its as damaging to women and lesbians as the TRA's are.

Aren’t they affectionately known as ‘Transmaidens’ ?

Umm..that's more the wimmin who do the TRAs bidding..for eg K. Stock has gone out her way to be and sound reasonable and will even use pronouns to bekind..but look what happened..so why bother.

Parents having to sue to access their child... Whatever happened to the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child? I thought the USA had signed up to it? In the convention, there are rights for parents to be involved fully in their child's upbringing unless they are abusive and have found to break the law.

As for Homecoming Queen. Teachers have to stop enabling young men to take away opportunities from young women. This is so wrong.

Then there are those convicted and who get lesser sentences, do not get me started...

To hell in a handbasket, I think is the term I am looking for. I never want to visit the USA again. I know there are some great people over there, but when the thinking is worse than that of the UK, I have to find other countries to visit.

Good idea! If you’ve visited before, you surely don’t need to again. Creepy groupthink abounds here. I noticed a particular intensification of it after the 9/11/2001 event. Right here in California, I happen to have experienced extrajudicial punishment beginning in the year 1984 (!). Seems to me Orwell described the pattern. Thank goodness for TERF Island, for more reasons than one!

Novelist, poet, critic, activist, trans woman, Londoner, sentimentalist, radical, somewhat disliked by various silly people. Read my Catullus versions. She/her

In reply to above person … I put in a reply a clip of those ridiculous men at the protest.

and 2 others

"However, if you create a movement dedicated to removing people's existing legal rights, you must expect the occasional harsh language."

I just asked what rights are those?

Yep no answer.

But if they think dangerous clowns like those men will not receive harsh words and harsh actions when husbands, fathers etc find them in women and girls spaces. They are more deluded than can be imagined..

Ah yes. Roz "domestic violence is so pedestrian" Kaveney. He's a piece of work.

Ohhhh dear. "Monica Raeven"...always with the ridiculous names.

It takes a dick and balls to be a pedo in the shadow of Walla Walla prison knowing you could end up doing hard time in a "Cher" facility. (Cher, Madonna... Leavenworth, Folsom, Walla Walla... If it's so famous it doesn't need any clarification, then you know you don't want to end up there.) A quick perusal of the linked legal docs doesn't clarify, but I'm assuming he'll do his time there.

5 years isn't nearly long enough, but I'm comforted by the thought that he will be pleading for protective segregation and likely won't get it.

I just wanted to say, bless you, Graham, for combing the internet to find this stuff for us. I’m sure it’s hurting your brain!! Deeply appreciate all you do. Hope you’re taking good care of yourself.

Take heart. There is plenty of good news to read. We're winning.

Please could you use the word ‘abuse’ instead of ‘pornography’ where children are concerned. The article actually uses the word abuse.

Expand full comment

I take your point, Just Saying, but the specific charge was Receipt of Child Pornography. I have to report accurately.

OK, fair enough and apologies!

No worries at all! We encourage debate on this site!

A "deeply entrenched culture of transphobia’ - how pathetic does all this get? Most people hardly knew of the existence of a single trans gender person until five or ten years ago, much less had bothered to think about promoting a culture of transphobia. It's the transgender cult that has invented transphobia - a necessary corollary to the narrative of being the world's most downtrodden. Everyone else was just getting on with their lives giving no thought whatever to trans people and having no prejudice about them one way or the other. It's their desperation to be noticed which has started the debate rubbing it in Jo Public's face demanding pronouns and access to women's spaces and much besides which has created negative attention for them, and affirming their narrative that people are against them because they are trans. If they'd just grow up and stop behaving like spoiled brats every time someone says-hang on a minute we need to talk about this; this might impact negatively on other groups in society - then we could go back to living normally and ts people could be accepted for what they are without other people needing to feel invaded and overthrown by their cult

Yet more horror stories.Why on earth can't people see through all the lies and absolute nonsense being promoted by transactivists and why does the government refuse to take a long hard look at the statistical " evidence " that so called " transpeople " are being " victimised " and "abused "by anyone ( other than their fellow travellers if they dare to disagree with the extremism of this movement ). I've yet to see a news item concerning an attack on a trans identifying person ,but there are almost daily reports of attacks against women ,including rape and murder !! " The most marginalised and victimised in society " my foot. !! They're almost running the WORLD.. "Transphobia " is more myth than reality ,unlike misogyny which is widespread and on the increase . After all ,just being born female is transphobic ,it seems ,and having female biology is the worst sin we can commit !!

The freaks shouting in the street reminded me of the crazy man who used to shout at anyone who left their brownstone in my neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. My back went out and my husband was escorting me to our car when the crazy guy started in. My husband screamed louder than crazy man, saying, "Today I'm crazier than you! Leave us alone!" And crazy man did.
