Could you please highlight that Jordan Gray is a heterosexual man who identifies as a lesbian - the LGB should not feel the backlash of his 'performance'.

The bits I could understand are really good 😂

Can someone help me out with these, please?

1. Why has Glenn Close got all those names pointing at her cheek?

2. I realise Glenn Close is in Dangerous Liaisons, but why is it "about to get meme’d to kingdom come!"?

3. Only victims allowed!

A speed dating site in Miami that is literally called ‘Catch and Release’!

What has is the "Catch & Release" advert got to do with "victims"?

Is the speed dating site supposed to be a 2022 version of Dangerous Liaisons?

4. "Look at the Jenny’s Boyfriends in this thread about the same story. Antisemitism AND misogyny just rolling in by the tweet."

Who is Jenny? Who are her Boyfriends? And apologies for obviously being particularly thick tonight: where is the antisemitism and misogyny? I can't make head nor tail of Flying Rodent's word-salad tweets!

(Brilliant letter by Hadley Freeman - and good old Private Eye for covering it!)

Still laughing at the Rosie Duffield / Billy Bragg exchange, donated to Rachel again, and was surprised to discover that Rupert Pupkin is not, as I had guessed, a PG Wodehouse character! (God, I feel old! 😂)

Driscoll is such a sleaze bag!

Thanks for all the other links too - excellent selection!

1. Twitter blue ticks = Decadent cruel, horny Frenchies in wigs

2. It is the perfect film for the current moment

3. Catch and release? That doesn't sound like a serial killer activity to you?

4. Forrest Gump reference. Jenny's boyfirend is a left wing, abusive hippy who beats Jenny.

The replies are fill of antisemitism. Look again!

Well, I guess SOME of them! 😂

Depends which Twitter rabbit hole you have been tumbling down 😂

It sounds like you have been plumbing the abyss of Toxic Twitter.

Are you saying that if you got your account back that you would not avail yourself of Elon's $7 pcm (or $8 depending on sources) plan for verified accounts?

2. It is the perfect film for the current moment

I'll take your word for it but I haven't a clue why that should be the case. Maybe if I watched Dangerous Liaisons again I would get it.

3. Catch and release? That doesn't sound like a serial killer activity to you?

No 😂

Serial killers, by definition, don't do the "release" bit 😂

It DOES sound "cat and mouse" to me - with the target market being feline rather than murine, so (fingers crossed) predators only rather than victims only. Which would be just punishment for them.

4. Forrest Gump reference. Jenny's boyfriend is a left wing, abusive hippy who beats Jenny.

Ah! Thank you! ❤️

"The replies are fill of antisemitism. Look again!"

The vast majority are banging on about how the Guardian is massively transphobic (but everything is transphobic anyway, so, *shrug*), Adrian Chiles is a better journalist (ha ha ha ha ha!!!), assorted "Hadley is a right-wing paedophile apologist only good for writing about pop and fashion" and I think three or maybe four tweets mentioning either Israel or Corbyn/Labour Party anti-semitism. I tried to count but my browser is seriously laggy so it is not easy. I am not counting the references to Nick "Octopus" Cohen because they are routine rejoinders to Eye articles due to the sex-pest allegations.

TBH it all seems pretty mild compared to the last 6 weeks of sustained, deranged attacks on KJK, with Maya and Helen Joyce catching some flack because they refused to denounce her, so I have probably become a bit desensitised.

But I rather like decadent cruel, horny Frenchies in wigs! That list of chancers... not so much!

Hadley Freeman is a rare journalist; despite working for one of the biggest cheerleaders for the mutilation cult, she's been unafraid to be honest about it. She has way too much integrity for the Guardian and she'll be vindicated in time, while Owen Jones and all the other invertebrates will be hearing their own lies quoted back at them for many years to come.

I have to watch it. The 90s remake Cruel intentions was my era, and to blame for *so many* transbians I am positive.

The kiss in the park?

That was so hyped. Loads of gross nerds wanting to see Buffy in a lesbian kiss and then turning it into a sexual identity. Ye gods.

Hadley Freeman was barred from writing about anything of importance at The Guardian and was told to write about her children!!!

Nothing changes for women.

Suzanne Moore had a similar problem regarding what she should write about, but her exit from the Guardian was far worse, and bullyboy jones had a hand in that.

Glad Hadley's starting at the Times soon. As a mere reader, I too left the Guardian and joined the Times :-)

The female impersonator - aka 'Kate' Weatherly - beats the women in the women's event.

She didn't say how to donate now that "Give Butter" (is that what it is called?) has cancelled her account - oh! I tried it and it worked. Fingers crossed that it does not get cancelled and refunded!

Sorry - I should've put links. I didn't want to be too pushy (although I am always on about it!)

As Helen McG says, Paypal or Standing for Women website / "donate to documentary"

“Contrapoints” is the worst -- he sucked in a few of my friends with his glitzy videos and his considerable communication skills -- he has misused his gifts in his subservience to his fetish.

Labelling someone "transphobe" or antitrans because they publicly disagree with transactivists is like labelling some anti-German because they had an issue with the Nazis back in the day. It's exactly the same mindset.

Every day these people, including our very own Billy Bragg, just show how deeply entrenched in far right rhethorics, tactics and indeed thinking they are. And no one calls them out for it.

I’m intrigued how the Catch and Release survey weeds out Fascists and Transphobes . Itching to give it a try. Wonder what questions it asks.

Expand full comment

The thing that really troubles me about it how this again links "transphobia" - i.e. not adhering to transideology - and fascism. They repeat it over and over again so that everyone who hears either of these words automatically completes the phrase in their mind. It's Goebbels style propaganda, sure, and highly effective.

“Allison” the “transgender lesbian” has THE spookiest eyes ever.

Wasn't it just lovely to hear him say 'no limitations'? They seem to have taken the women's and broader civil rights movement, then zombified and twisted it to be a men's abuse movement. A bit of incel and a dash of MGTOW.

This whole genderology movement reminds me of when I worked briefly in sales and it seemed to attract all the nastiest behaviours. You had to 'remove objections' in whatever way you could. The gentle wearing down so you give up and buy whatever they are selling at whatever inflated price they can get away with. And then the hidden extras so the final price was also inflated and you couldn't get out of that despite having been conned.

I left a good reply on Billy Bragga tweet, surprised I haven’t been banned yet!!🤣🤣🤣

"Allison Church" (the 'translesbian' author) was piled upon something rotten - thankfully! - following his spooky Halloween "why did it take me so long to transition" video. I feel the tide is beginning to turn. Slowly, stealthily, perhaps, but it's turning nonetheless.

Gawd I thought you’d got your twitter account back !!! IS IT HAPPENING? Any news?

I’m guessing ‘catch &release’ will attract about 95% men
