Hello to the many lurking gender identity extremist males that read The Glinner Update: this is your daily reminder to please leave the womaning to women.

Reminds me of sth - isn't Wikipedia open for everyone to edit? At least it was possible a few years ago, but now I couldn't log in when I tried to go in there and clean up the worst of the misogyny.

Wikipedia is only open to TRAs to edit from my understanding. I couldn't believe when they called me up asking for money. Hahahahahaha, no.

A reminder to witch hunters. 25% of the witches who were hunted down, by those who could not handle the dissent, were male.

Feedback from the BBC about THAT article. I commended them for publishing it and and the Nolan investigations and encouraged more investigation into the issues raised.

-----

Thank you for getting in touch. We have received a wide range of feedback from those who find the article challenging as well as those who welcome its publication.

The article was carefully considered before publication, went through a rigorous editorial review process and fully complies with the BBC’s editorial guidelines and standards.

Some argue that the article is flawed because it is “based on a survey of 80 people”. The article itself states there is little research in this area; that the survey featured was conducted on social media and is therefore self-selecting; and even the author of the survey admits it may not be a representative sample. Furthermore, there is a link to the detail of the findings which enables the reader to make up their own minds about the replies the sample generated.

But the article is more than just the survey.

The journalist’s work involved months of speaking to many people about the topic and the article includes testimony from a range of different sources and provides appropriate context.

As a public service broadcaster we explore a wide range of issues and perspectives. And we believe it deals with a matter worthy of investigation. We have a strong commitment to impartiality, which means we constantly consider and evaluate which stories to cover and how. Impartiality is fundamental, and includes covering stories on any point of the spectrum of debate. And stories should be seen not just individually, but in the broader context of our wider coverage.

The piece has prompted many complaints and many appreciations and we will consider all feedback carefully.

Kind regards,

BBC Complaints Team

Europe is looking like it's overcoming this attempt at tyranny, we (especially down here in Australasia) need the US to do the same.

Thank you for doing these so regularly.

After being bombarded with propaganda and revisionist history that Stalin would be proud of, at work today, it helps to come home and see that I am not going totally mental. That other people can see the emperor has no clothes on.

So much potential harm to mental health being caused by state/organisational oppression/gaslighting of women.

The Netflix employee...Jaclyn is it?... obviously likes to identify as a little girl, hence the animé characterisation of themself. Jaclyn also identifies as a "slutty girl" hence the eye bleach inducing images in net stockings and man boobs. Its not hard work to see where his sexual fetish lies is it?

One hopes the warrior code of honour all professional fighters abide by means the woman-beater will be at the top of every male fighters to-do list 😉

Seriously. Wtf?

He's not going to fight other dudes, just women. And women who let themselves in for this need to STOP!

It's a fighter's mentality. Sad but true.

The promoters need to stop offering these bouts to women.

"Here’s an idea! Fire them! "

Yes!

"If you feel strongly enough that this is a matter that somebody should lose their job over, then I will reluctantly accept your resignation"

I wonder if Boots can back up their assertion? I doubt it as JP replies to the original tweet quoting from the Samartians:

"Samaritans' media advice on reporting suicide: "Speculation about the ‘trigger’ or cause of a suicide can oversimplify the issue and should be avoided. Suicide is extremely complex and most of the time there is no single event or factor that leads someone to take their own life."

Not a pronoun, but it's similar as to this day I am also often still forced to use Miss or Mrs when I do not want to use either on many sites and forms, and it doesn't cast me into a pit of despair. Media sources need to stop rolling out the tired old rhetoric verbatim from SW. It really isn't helpful to anyone, and it diminishes those who are suicidal.

How do we go about it?

Simple: the responsible party bringing these bogus charges needs to get sued from now in perpetuity.

Terry Gilliam is a racist sod and it's rather telling the TRAs weren't up in arms about that.

🎶 Woke up this mornin'

Got the white man burden blues 🎶

Expand full comment

Take up the White Man's burden -

The savage wars of peace -

Fill full the mouth of famine

And bid the sickness cease;

And when your goal is nearest

The end for others sought,

Watch Sloth and heathen Folly

Bring all your hopes to nought.

They were. Hence the BLM reference.

In fact, find me a TRA who isn't in lockstep with the BLM movement. If I hear "Black Trans Lives Matter" one. More. Time.
