I have just been listening to an excellent podcast about the fraud Elizabeth Holmes, who convinced investors that she'd invented a medical device that could test for dozens/hundreds of abnormalities via a single drop of blood (bear with, I am getting there). Holmes (a woman) lowered her voice significantly to be taken seriously, and started wearing a Steve Jobs turtleneck jumper. Tony channels Lindsey Corkhill

And that prestigious publication The New Yorker bought her fraud hook, line, and sinker! Everyone here in the U.S. said she was modeling herself on Jobs. Those creepy eyeballs!

Kudos to the Daily Mail!

Is it not a first? Normally the Daily Mail are the ones that have to pay out. Well, I agree, good for them for winning against that piece of crap.

I'm not keen on the Daily Mail, but this is good news, and at least it writes about some of the bullshit and abuse going on.

I agree. I used to hate the Daily Mail but they've been useful to us of late

They sometimes have really interesting cultural stories from around the world (archeological finds etc), days before they appear on the BBC. You just have to wade through the dross first...

That's true too, away from politics and society pages

Oh this has really gladdened my hard cold heart today! I love nothing more than when a top narc gets called out and especially if made to cough up..he has been using tax payers money for years but thats the fault of the system. Lets hope Tony loses everything.

Perhaps have this articulate young de-trans lass on The Mess...She points out how dangerous social media is for confused children.

That is a very good insight into how young people can be sucked into this horror.

Steve, mate, you still sound like a bloke. You look like one too. Because you ARE ONE!

Who’s the teenage girl in his profile pic?

I know! How do passports and I.D. function for these loons? Self-deception is at the core of their function, and they'd like to force all of us to play along with their delusions.

(I just remembered to check my own profile picture, there! I have used an ice-cream as a prop to offset a below-average-looking bloke's face.

I'm not deluded and haven't lied, though!!!!)

My passport pic is so soft. I love it. Makes me look younger by 30 years at least, this passport will expire shortly before my 70th birthday. I'll be expecting lots of suspicious questions next time I leave the country.

Just want to say I appreciate all the work you’re doing Graham. It’s amazing how much effort and work you have put into this cause.

Stephanie Rebecca. Gag. It's the bloody appropriated names that get to me. Every time.

Do they EVER change their name to something unisex like Alex, Cameron, Jamie, or Adrian? You know-- the kinds of names that tend to be popular with ACTUAL women?

“I’m a laaaaaadyyy” - it’s worse than the worst joke-lady voice ever.

Surely the court can look at Hayden's Twitter account and question him? It's outrageous that he's taking the piss out of them like this.

That's so funny. Nice photo of him too, looking lovely in a bad wig, or worse, his own badly cut and over processed hair. What an arsehole.

Sorry he is allowed to do that. What a jerk, he'll have to pay for it one day I hope.

I don't know if Graham reads all the comments. If not, can someone bring this to his attention, please?

The campaigning organsiation Open Democracy has been captured. See their article, "NHS pulls trans health conference after speakers’ anti-trans links exposed" which, sadly, includes all the usual phrases to prevent thought and exclude intelligent debate. Thankfully, some of the comments below the line point this out. I have just lost all respect for Open Democracy.

yes, I saw this. Must cover it.

Oh they've been crackers for ages. Lou Ferreira's writing style is basically to define everyone and everything as Hitler. The four people named in that article would have betters odds of winning a defamation case than Stephanie Hayden did, though wisely Genspect has taken the position of saying "thanks for publicity!"
