David Paisley. An actor who doesn't like audiences...

...at least not when he's targeting and harassing women

Regular readers will know The Staniland Question, which Helen Staniland asks of men who are trying to get males into women’s spaces under the cover of ‘trans rights’. It’s a very powerful question because men either refuse to answer it or expose themselves when they do.

Here it is again.

As you can see, the question is designed to make it clear what men are actually asking when they demand that trans-identified males have access to female spaces. Its power is in its simplicity. To us gender-critical types, the answer is very simple: No. But to men like David Paisley, the answer is so complicated that he would rather Helen stops asking it altogether. To that end, he’s doing everything he can to silence her voice.

Paisley and his brother from another mother, Aiden Comerford, start off by belittling Helen and deriding her concerns as if there’s something suspect about women requiring sex-segregated spaces, which have been protecting women for over a hundred years. Note the DARVO technique of suggesting there is something perverse about Helen demanding clarity on this subject, when of course the truth is that predators are far more likely to support their position on the matter, and use many of the same tactics while doing so.

Helen highlighted the irony of Paisley’s position on the matter by pointing up the fact that he offered nudes to anyone who would fill out the GRA consultation in a way that would open the door to males accessing female spaces.

This seems to be what really annoyed Paisley. He began with some more DARVO…

…and despite Helen pointing out that she said nothing about genitals, he misrepresented her argument to his followers. Again, pure DARVO tactics.

Then, unsatisfied with his triumph, after days/months/years of telling women that they don’t deserve to have one, he removed himself to a safe space.

The responses were immediate and enthusiastic.

The rules are simple. Men can do what they like, including quote tweeting people, but if a woman does the exact same thing, she has to be reported to Twitter. And how about that last one? “Absolutely reported her. Hard.” Now, why on earth would women want to keep men like Chris Down out of their changing rooms?

So Paisley is a blue ticked man doing everything in his power to silence a calm, reasoned and persistent advocate for women’s safety. I found out yesterday that he has reported my channel to YouTube because we mentioned him in this episode of ‘The Mess We’re In’.

I know this because YouTube told me the offending sections were around 24.00, 30.00, 41.00, and 5.04, and Paisley is what connects all those moments. Here’s a link to the podcast in case he’s successful.

So, not content with trying to silence her voice on Twitter, Paisley is trying to silence Helen’s actual voice. I can understand why. No-one who hears her speak could be in any doubt as to who the troll is in this situation. Paisley is a nasty bully who touts his charity work more often than Smashy and Nicey in an attempt to salve his guilty conscience.

I won’t delete the video because I will have no part in silencing Helen’s important voice. If YouTube take it down, I want everyone to know who’s responsible and why.

And David, here’s some final advice. When women are talking about their safety and privacy, mocking them is not the correct way to go. If you can’t answer Helen’s question, just leave her alone.
