How on earth did they get Jones to pose for that photo?

His support mummy (who as I remember has intervened on her son's behalf on Twitter before when nasty bullies were bullying him) was nearby to watch out for his safety. Also, I am very pleased he is playing with plasticene: on Mumsnet he is known as Sanctimonious Morph. V fitting

Through the “trans wormhole” into a parallel world of alternate reality, where women have penises, and sex is “assigned” (by whom is never really explained}, lesbians are male, lies are true, men give birth, civil rights are wrong, children are sexualized, and non-binary officers ticket the sane.

Join us on a wonderful “gender” journey, where you can be anything you want to be. We’re off down the pastel pink and blue road to the land of TikTok and Make Believe. We’ll be starting out from Doubt, moving on to Capitulation, maybe spend a little time in Euphoria, then back to Doubt. Some of you might even end up in Regret. But, c’mon now. Be brave. You just never know where you’ll end up. For some of you, it is your only chance to be seen as brave and daring. C’mon.

I wonder if mums and emotional support dogs are allowed for the G̶e̶s̶t̶a̶p̶o̶ Guardian Dialog Project meetings.

My heart breaks for that lovely young gay guy who now has osteoporosis and no way to enjoy the sex life he should’ve had. The people pushing this dangerous nonsense should pay for the damage they’ve done to those who could’ve otherwise been healthy, if they’d only just been given the right type of emotional support.

The Guardian is plumbing previously unknown depths of duplicity and stupidity. How shaming for any journalist still working for them.

Oops, edited:

Yes, but unfortunately she undermines her own efforts by choosing to obey the 'Use lying pronouns' commandment, as in an otherwise strong piece over at UnHerd recently. Thereby pushing the key lie that underlies it all. A number of commenters weren't having it at all.

My earlier comment hadn't realised she'd stopped her Guardian column.

On the "Out and Out Mockery of Lesbians" tweet: someone somewhere...most likely a male...is taking the piss...enjoying the profound diminishment and new invisibility of lesbians, adult human females attracted to members of their own sex, immensely. That "Lesbian Visibility Day" is now represented by the image of a male in a bad wig...a male who feels entitled to compel other people to pretend that he's not only a woman, but a lesbian woman...just goes to the heart of the matter of how far this dangerous, misogynist gender identity ideology has spread.

At first I thought that story about the woman who had drain cleaner poured into her eyes was one of Moley's satires, but sadly no.

Moley doesn't have that sort of humour, thankfully.

I’m always blown away by Kellie Jay’s bravery. Each time I’ve worried about her safety beforehand things turned out just fine. My favourite moment was her telling young people off like she was their mum. Hilarious ☺️.

Politicians holding up those silly pink signs yesterday could learn a lot from her, they are embarrassing cowards

It's heartwarming to see little Owen Jones taking his playtime so seriously. He's practising his technique at squashing the life out of anyone who disagrees with him or, God forbid, stands up to him.

Does anyone know the time and place for Posie's get together in Manchester? I'm guessing the Pankhurst statue?

Well the TRAs said St. Peter's Square, at 12am.... I hope I can go, to show support to Posie and co, or even just to monitor/ witness the TRAs.... ( I just edited my original comment now, because I realised that time and place was for the TRA counter-demo...)

Resist Gender Education is a great website and a safe alternative to the gender-identity ideology currently being pushed in NZ schools from the Ministry of Education's guidelines. A few months ago when it was revealed that some factual information had been requested from schools to aid with the creation of this website, there were some serious meltdowns from all the usual suspects - so I can't wait to see the dramas that the actual website brings on :-) What's even better, though, is that those who have been desperate for facts and commonsense , instead of ridiculous and unsafe ideology, now have a place to find it.

That story about the psychologist and the drain cleaner is (as well as incredibly disturbing) hugely illustrative. No sane person would agree with pouring drain cleaner into someone's eyes, so why do so many go along with injecting advanced prostate cancer drugs into kid's bodies?

If you believe that a boy is *really* a girl before getting Lupron injections, it follows that you should also believe that woman was *really* blind before she had drain cleaner poured into her eyes. How many Tolerance and Inclusivity cheerleaders would celebrate that woman's "affirmative treatment" for her "disability identity?" I'm guessing none would, despite it being exactly the same approach as gender identity - mutilation as a response to dysphoria.

So pleased Private Eye are on the case. Genevieve Gluck appears to be back on. GKR, sharp as ever.

Private Eyes is disappointingly mostly only on the the case of bitching about other journalists. It is very definitely not on the case of the harm being done to children, or the ideological capture of many of our major institutions, the bullying of authors, or the utter twaddle our politicians are coming out with - all of which should be right up its street.

Actually, maybe we should get in touch and explain the real problem. They do tend to listen, whatever the subject.

I have written many emails, since 2018. Editor has acknowledged a few, so the optimistic side of me hopes they are doing some proper investigative work. I'm sure I cannot be the only one: PI gets mentioned a lot on MN whenever they dip their toe. But in the meantime it's frustrating. I wonder if they don't much care about women; they think this is too niche, or worse, there is something actively stopping them talking about the children/schools/medical side of this... They got Andrew Wakefield MMR scandal all wrong
