You're not the only one. I am now beginning to doubt this is even possible. Last time I tried it, not only did I tear a lower back muscle, I ran out of gravy.
I used to be able to put my knees on either side of my head (yoga position); I never thought of turning my head and gnawing on my knees. Strange, that.
Is he the one who wrote an academic paper with himself? From the Daily Mail 2018:
"Goldsmiths University confirmed Ms Kennedy was an employee, but did not confirm to the Times why she appeared in the staff directory twice, once as Mark Hellen in the department for education and once as Natacha Kennedy in equality and diversity reports.
The University also did not clarify why one academic paper appeared to cite Mark Hellen and Natacha Kennedy as co-authors on a paper, when they appeared to be the same person."
It's consistent with transgressive transgender policy generally. Instead of initiating an "International Transgender Day", the so-called Vagina Museum hijacks International Women's Day to celebrate poseurs who, lacking vaginas, can only pretend to be women.
What better way to rouse hostility in the enemy whose anatomy you exploit? While turning off comments also silences them: the "No debate" trans rights principle followed too.
Absolutely thrilled that GC feminism is worthy of having a whole conference bemoaning it. Although the conference is a complete pile of whining BS about problems plucked out of thin air, I’m doing a few fist pumps at the knowledge we are worrying the whiners 😀
Would love to attend a similar conference, but from the gender critical feminist point of view. It would be titled, "Living Female in Regressive Times."
Jacob Breslow has argued for the interests of pedophiles since at least 2011, when he gave a presentation at a symposium organized by self-described “people who are attracted to children” in B4U-Act, an NGO founded in 2003 by convicted child molester Michael Melsheimer.
Natacha Kennedy cites himself in his own academic works as Mark Hellen.
He also ran a smear campaign against women academics who disagreed with him.
He collaborated with Wikipedia editors to try to have certain feminists removed from the site. When even they disagreed with him about this, they collectively decided they would highlight negative information about them instead of removing them. To this day, Sheila Jeffreys' entry features more criticism about her from Roz Kaveney than actual discussion of her books.
That's very interesting, although somehow depressingly-predictable as well. The sheer number of porn-fried sweat-sacks who are evangelical about gender ideology, speaks volumes.
I hope a gender critical journalist attends and reports on this. I'd like to know what the reality benders are up to, and what creative DARVO and gaslighting techniques they come up with next.
No, let's be far more assertive and take control of our spaces, language and realities, etc. Misogynistic would be colonisers can go and fuck themselves.
Yes hard to believe it's a true event. I'm sure they're not worried about having women outside with offensive posters or shouting outside the windows as happened at the FiLia conference in October. The toilet management situation should be interesting!
My new word of the week! Thank you. This bunch of quacademics look to be right up there for maximum preposterousness & unintelligibility, as the "Sokal Squared" hoaxers, who submitted c. 20 rubbish academic papers to reputable journals to see how many they could get published. Too many.
I forgot the "k"! and I stole quackademic from a commenter on here! I think I remember the hoaxers -- that was pretty funny! As Cordelia Fine points out in her book about gender all one needs to do to get published is insist on a difference between A and B, however minuscule the difference.
Laughable language. And economic predation? They're being preyed on to part with their money by wicked doctors convincing them to have operations they don't need? Wait, that doesn't sound right...
Well with gas prices soaring at least we know there's enough hot air in that one conference to power most of the UK for years. Also as an aside will somebody please stage an intervention on Sally she sorely needs it.
Imagine trying to sit through an entire day of that nauseating bullshit. I couldn't even force myself to read all the way to the end of the schedule. Listening to all those tossers wanking away gleefully. Like working on a telephone sex line, except instead of getting paid and reading a book you are expected to pay them, and pretend to be interested. Shudder. An entire day surrounded by pervert AGPs and their handmaidens, stuff of nightmares.
I would rather eat my own knees than sit through one nanosecond of this utterly pointless shite.
Is that a knife and fork job, or a spoon ? Questions have to be asked.
I'll have to get back to you on that!
No, you just have to be agile enough to gnaw on your own bones.
Gendernuts!
A dessert?!
Hmm.... the visual arts workshop over lunch sounds... nice?
Yes! Performance knee-eating.... Coming to Channel Four soon!
As in a Pie eating competition?
😂😂😂
Oo I envy that flexibility in a back.

Natacha Kennedy is a bloke btw

O'rly . . . ?
And there was I thinking today was April Fools. The Vagina Museum picked today to tweet about trans women in history and have turned off replies.

When reading information like this you know it's not going to end well. Whatever happens, it can't be women that it applies to, not this time.

Absolutely! I came here to say the same thing but you put it so well I'll just give it an enthusiastic thumbs up! :)
Really good point.

Could you imagine the outrage? The depletion of trans people, the violence, the induced suicides?

Sally Hines attended and spoke at a GENDY's conference in 2000 that discussed sissy porn and presented it as progressive.
Is there anyone on this list who isn't a full-out pervert?
That's very interesting, although somehow depressingly-predictable as well. The sheer number of porn-fried sweat-sacks who are evangelical about gender ideology, speaks volumes.
Thank you for the info, and no, it seems not.
And yet people take willy-pedia seriously!
Both Kennedy and Hines are transwomen, ie. they are born male, so is Serrano
"‘Gender Critical’ Complaint as Time Wasting Device: How anti-gender politics depletes academic knowledge production". Love this one.
there's so many good ones!
Keep yer knees Graham...
Pseuds akimbo!
Such an honest comment from the Lords of the Universe: noone else's views matters. Never do, to narcissists.
WE MUST PRODUCE MORE KNOWLEDGE, KOMRADES!
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE!
TO THE KNOWLEDGE FACTORIES WITH US!
It's a bloke. It will be attended by other blokes. They will all claim to be the most marginalised. Boo bloody hoo....
I hope a gender critical journalist attends and reports on this. I'd like to know what the reality benders are up to, and what creative DARVO and gaslighting techniques they come up with next.
I should really be doing a parody of this.
That said, all I would need to do is 'copy and paste' it.
Send the asteroid 🤦🏼♀️
No, let's be far more assertive and take control of our spaces, language and realities, etc. Misogynistic would be colonisers can go and fuck themselves.
Asteroids-on-command would be so useful in SO MANY situations these days!
But they can be quite painful. I had them years ago, and I didn't find them useful at all.
Kidney Asteroids!
Ha, we're "colonial remnants of gender discourse."
I absolutely refuse to believe that is not a parody. It's got to be one of Titania's, surely?!
It is so obviously a lost Monty Python script....
Hahaha - we’d be forgiven for thinking so 😄
Yes hard to believe it's a true event. I'm sure they're not worried about having women outside with offensive posters or shouting outside the windows as happened at the FiLia conference in October. The toilet management situation should be interesting!
That's five minutes of my life I'll never get back 😞.
I literally can't understand what this means and I'm a very educated woman...
"The Trans Mundane: Trauma-Ordinariness and Economic Predation"
Thank goodness it isn't just me - most of it seems like word soup to try and sound clever.
That's what quacademic now apparently boils down to: a little cube of dehydrated soup that has big ideas.

There's definitely a lot of Butlerian word-salad tossed into that schedule. :-/
A guess: something about how being traumatized is the ordinary state of affairs for poor trans people.
Laughable language. And economic predation? They're being preyed on to part with their money by wicked doctors convincing them to have operations they don't need? Wait, that doesn't sound right...
Hey now! Spoiled brats like you and me will never know the unparalleled horror that is... MISGENDERING [cue sforzando]
