And how much money disappeared directly into their pockets? I know, at least then it may not have been causing direct harm.

The last picture sadly is the little girl from Mrs. Doubtfire and Matilda.

Such a shame.

I'm not joking when I say I've heard Mrs. Doubtfire be deemed transphobic.

Really?? How the hell can they come to that conclusion?

Man pretending to be a woman?

Christ, they're pathetic..

'One of the most common transphobic arguments is that trans people are pretending to be trans so that they can have access to “vulnerable” people. The bathroom debates of the 2010 culture wars, for example, were centered around the erroneous assertion that men would use trans identity to sneak into bathrooms to rape women and abduct children.'

Even if someone isn't pretending to be 'trans', being 'trans' is pretending to be something you're not.

Thank you for finding that!

I'm surprised Emma Watson wasn't on the list.

On behalf on the United States of America, I apologize for AOC.

Oh, boy, we cannot apologize enough for AOC. And I want to see her DNA test; I'm sick of her being referred to as a person of color. She's whiter than I am! A neat trick the Spanish managed: If you were from Europe and colonized North America [sic], you're not a person of color. If you colonized Latin America, including the islands, you are. ?????

She's trying to be everything to every "oppressed" group. I used to sort of like and trust her. Now all I see is a political grifter with a big ego which she pretends not to have. She could have had promise, but now... in a way it's a betrayal of all the good causes she has/could have supported. The price of thoughtless wokeness.

The appeal of the spotlight can cause some people to lose rationality in favour of notoriety.

I think there's a check list somewhere and for every box you can click off, you rise to the top of the most credible woke person.

Don't know if she's redeemable at all. Her " views " are so gross ,even vomit inducing 🤮🤮🤮

Expand full comment

She is a product of the American "educational" system. She knows no biology, no history, no literature, no politics, basically nothing. If you don't grow up in a household with thinking, critical parents, you have little chance of learning anything unless you are a very determined person. My mother would point out the lies that were told to me at school.

"And to those who asked, that’s how you beat Beaver Bother. With patience, and a trust in the fact that you’re up against some of the dumbest people who ever sat in front of a keyboard."

What Hbomberguy’s better angel-self meant to say:

“So well done,Graham! You have a massive audience and the power to fight for progress in all the many forms we need right now in the world and you used it to make sure some children won’t have access to unhelpful ‘resources’.”

Emma Watson needs to be added to this chamber of horrors. I will never forget her plugging Mermaids, as part of the pile on, when JK Rowling was getting so much abuse when she first spoke out.

Shame on whoever chose that picture... 🤔

Yeah, what happened to his self-hating homosexuality? He's got a neck like a weight-lifter, no waist, and a dick. If he wasn't being such a dick, he could get some help and stop with the trans bullshit.

So cismanning not transmanning. 😄

He's not passing at all for someone supposedly taking wrong-sex hormones.

I remember it well. He was similar to Alex Belfield - bullies and trolls people and gets his brainless twerp followers to do it for him. We all knew at the time it happened that one day, the Mermaids house of cards would come tumbling down and he would be culpable. Which he is - disgusting pos.

What a bunch of egotistic, twisted individuals!

These people should be publicly shamed on mainstream media. If mainstream media had any backbone or conscience, they would be thoroughly investigating this whole movement ,in the same way that so many GC people have. Shame on them all 👎💔🤮😭

It really is tragic to see what has become of Jim Sterling, who now apparently goes by “Stephanie”.

He used to be rather entertaining, back in the good old days of the Destructoid Podcast. Acerbic for sure, but ultimately insightful and entertaining. And he didn’t take bullshit. He hated people who talked bullshit.

And now look at him — he’s a fully brainwashed TRA. Bleurgh.

That's true of so many people I used to follow from PZ Myers, to Jim Sterling, to HBomberguy. They made being anti-bullshit, I don't give two shits about how my opinions make you feel central to their personas. Now they're shilling for transgenderism, the worst pseudoscience to go mainstream in my lifetime, and telling people to be kind when being a dick is like 90% of their shtick. The most important test for a self styled sceptic isn't how well they see through other tribes bullshit, but how well they see through their own tribes, and I think too many sceptics have completely, comically failed that test when it really mattered.

Oof, the grey dress guy with his below-the-belt tackle showing--my personal shudder moment.

When sanity returns and it's cool to be in touch with your natal body, these yutzes will be first in line to grab the malpractice settlements. When the chest is cut up and opened for this "top surgery" fad, it damages the vagus and phenic nerves, resulting in a forever kind of psychic trauma.

Here's how to be connected, just one idea among, pilates, feldenkrais, alexander work, pressure point practices, cognitive behavior therapy, &etc.

Graham, if you read this: how can a monthly subscriber give more than 3.50 a month? Please add a box to choose a higher amount, if we can't afford the yearly pledge all at once. ... Great article! Harry Brewis, what a twit. AOC too, a total twit.

Expand full comment

Thanks for the like, MATC! I hope that means you will look into changing the pledge choices, if possible. Really want to help Graham in what way I can. ... others may feel the same as I do, want to pledge more than 3.50 but can't figure out how to.

Hello!

Well, I have no control over Substack choices or what Graham does of course, and I wouldn't want that....

But one option is to 'Buy Me A Coffee'. Graham has a BMAC page - and you will see a 'Tip Jar' button at the foot of these posts... which will enable you to 'donate' more on a one-off basis, if you so wish!

I do hope this is of some assistance!

Cheers,

M
