Jesus christ. This is the first Glinner/JL article I couldn't read to the end. It made me feel sick. I will have to read it all though when I have the stomach for it again. I am grateful for the warning. I know my 13 year old daughter visits some of those LGBT Reddit groups. It makes me white hot with rage and tears are stinging in my eyes wondering how it has got this far. Central outliers indeed. They don't even have to hide it anymore. These are the people all parents have their 'worse nightmare' moments about, except they are real and here and close to our children. I feel physically sick so can't imagine how hard it must have been for the writers and researcher to put this together and for that I thank you.
Thank you, Meri. Not the easiest of assignments, I'll admit. I'm sorry it had to be so grim but we thought it vital to tell this story, shine some light.
The Challenor shit show was what made me aware of TRA's, queer theory, etc... While I learned a lot of what's in the piece back then its still disgusting to see it all in one place; to see how victims become abusers
I've been concerned by the policy capture at reddit for some time, they purged the majority of gender critical subreddits some time ago, but they've also mandated external admins on what remained. Reddit is not a safe place for children, teenagers or the vulnerable.
I agree, Mullett. Sickening that children can access all manner of sites run by God knows who while gender critical communities were being closed down. The tech industry really does seem to hate women.
Vomitous. Yes, sympathy for the boy who disappeared. Horror that anybody anywhere assisted him in his endeavours. And just how stupid do these supporters think we are? I've always been of the opinion that people show us who they are all, all the time (paraphrase of Maya Angelous of of course). Believe what people show you. If you hear hoofbeats think horses.. Anyone supporting this deeply disturbed individual has no relevant or reasonable excuse and is deeply suspicious.
I feel the same, Alice. Ashton / Aimee never stood a chance. I keep thinking of how influential he was in the Green Party & Stonewall etc while, all the time, his father was at his elbow, whispering in his ear. Shame on all the enablers who allowed this to happen.
Sickening, yet illustrative of how completely people tend to ignore all safeguarding when trans/lgbt is concerned. Hugely concerning. Thanks JL for collating all of that.
Thank you, Spinny. Not easy to write, but vital to shine some light. I agree - Aimee (or should I say his puppet masters) had the perfect get-out-of-jail-free card to play.
It's very similar to to how the young girls abused by grooming gangs had their protections nullified because of the race of their abusers. Something needs to be done to stop these intersectional issues actually masking and causing abuse. It's heart-rending.
Excuse me whilst I throw up. I am so disgusted that fetishes are being pandered to. I truly believe Transsexual people have been damaged by these interlopers and opportunists who bring with them a endless list of predilections and desires 🤢 and social media is full of enablers and panderers. Thank you for the article. I wish I could say I was shocked however nothing much is a surprise these days. It doesn’t mean it’s not abhorrent of course.
Thank you, Victoria. I agree whole-heartedly. Genuine trans people are being damaged by the grifters and fetishists who have swallowed up their movement. And they'll be ones left holding the bill.
Absolutely. For me my peak is not about genuine scenarios that warrant understanding and care. I did not think i would witness this appalling disregard for 51% of the population to pander to a minute of vocal and reprehensible disrupters. Most of the time TRA are trolls, transvestites or fetishists and often a combination of all three. The whole movement is flawed because it’s built on a house of cards that will topple eventually. I am sure this agenda and the sheeple who follow it are deliberately attempting to destabilise society and normalise paedophilia and kinks. When this thing blows up it will be as a result of the biggest paedo ring being discovered
A tough read, and must have been hard work digging through years of shit ☹️. Green Party and LibDems were clearly being used to achieve mainstream acceptance, even respectability, of these horrible people and make it impossible to challenge them or build safeguards. What are they going to try next?
Exactly, Heather. This story should serve as a warning to other political parties (looking at you, Keir Starmer...) and orgs. When people are determined to tear down policies of safeguarding etc, we need to ask why.
Disgusting but appreciate the effort you have put in to compiling and presenting this information. You have a strong stomach and some determination to be able to do this. Thank you.
Oh dear God, it’s worse than I imagined, I feel sick. However, I thank you for shining a light on these dark things. Although I feel sick, my resolve is strengthened. ENOUGH of this shit, I am not a parent (a mad Aunty if that counts!) but by God we need to fight for the children , that’s what these perverts are after, our babies. No, somehow we must stop them, where do I start???
I have sent this story to all my friends, some of whom are already GC and some completely clueless. I really do hope that this will be a defining moment for many, as it should. Thank you for your research; must have been difficult delving into all this. Reading it was disturbing enough. Still, this was vital and am thankful you wrote about it.
Wow, this really is an incredible piece of work to pick through the terrible breadcrumbs left by these reprobates. You’re right, exposing this is about recognising the predatory practises of these people close to someone who has been trying their hardest to get into power. The reddit thing really really disturbed me but I don’t know why I’d be surprised. But all the fetish stuff it makes my skin crawl to think about these people dressed as little girls. Eww. It’s nice that the weirdos have found each other because by the look of them I canny think who else would be shagging them but hey that’s the internet for you. Anyway great piece, all credit to you! I forwarded it to a few friends who were horrified. Stuff like this is why I subscribe x
Thank you ever so much for your kind words, Alanna. It's pretty grim, isn't it? I don't really care if people want to dress up as Scooby Doo in the bedroom... but grown men pretending to be little girls seems a big red flag to me. And, as you say, deeply concerning that obvious predators have such access to kids. And to roles of political power. I'm glad people are horrified by this piece!
It feels very weird to “heart” this article. The entire thing is repulsive, and I’m so grateful to the person or people that put in such a massive amount of work to piece this together. It is this on this kind of work that any hope that common sense will eventually prevail rests.
I became interested in this movement when my daughter came home from college having acquired some new opinions and called me “small minded,” for not agreeing that there were over 71 genders. I know that I’m not a small minded, in fact I always made a point of bringing my kids up to be open minded- very live and let live. So I wanted to find out why she was saying that and what she was basing those opinions on, and it felt like I was opening Pandora’s box. If it wasn’t for you and people like you I wouldn’t know anything, and I wouldn’t have any information to counter this ideology that is so dangerous to women.
thank you for sharing this - it's a mammoth piece of work! I've just shared it with my friend who had the whole GC chat on Saturday and he's reeling from it but is on a total mission to find out more.

Don't apologise for it being grim- it is grim and its real. You must just have a special kind of braveness to put it together. I am grateful.
Same here, truly horrendous. It needs to be exposed, but oh my it's hard to read. Makes you feel soiled.

Also, is it just me or do all of these guys look really, really soap-shy?
Disgusting but appreciate the effort you have put in to compiling and presenting this information. You have a strong stomach and some determination to be able to do this. Thank you.
Thank you, Winterbourne. I'm a tough old boot.
Oh dear God, it’s worse than I imagined, I feel sick. However, I thank you for shining a light on these dark things. Although I feel sick, my resolve is strengthened.

I am also a mad auntie! And woe betide any Baloo or Feefers who comes anywhere near the beloved babies (some of whom are now teenagers!) in my life.
I couldn't answer for my actions if any of the lovely children I'm related to or friends with were harmed by such filth!
This is... I have no words. Seriously disturbing.
I have sent this story to all my friends, some of whom are already GC and some completely clueless. I really do hope that this will be a defining moment for many, as it should.

Thank you, Praxidike. That's very much appreciated. I also hope this piece makes the 'clueless' sit up an take notice. That's exactly why I wrote it!

I just read this article today, coming from the article about Reddit going on strike and... holy cow!
My stomach just can’t take it.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this detailed article with all its stakeholders.
I hope that what happens now on Reddit will be the wake up call for all the progressist people who refuse any critics to the trans movement.
I hope so, Jean!
Jesus wept, this is beyond horrific. I mean..... Thanks for taking the time to compile this information. A difficult read but so important.
Thank you, Ruth. Much appreciated.

Thank you so much, Lydia. So lovely to be appreciated.

Oh thank you, Lyndsey. Much appreciated. You could point your friend to this. I intended it to be a sort of 'factsheet' for peaking purposes!
