When you pretend to believe a big lie, you have to live that lie
The fundamental lie that men are women caused Jon Ronson to ‘overlook’ the most pertinent aspect of the legacy of ‘Camp Trans’ and Zoe Williams to pretend she never heard of women-only gyms.
Thanks to Progressive Misogyny for spotting this. The following is from Williams’ latest dick-pandering piece.
…and here she is again, in 2013.
I will never understand what makes journalists so willing to debase themselves in service of this cult. Ronson and Williams remind me of Trump. When you start believing your own lies, you become trapped within them.

Fun Mamet interview
In the wacky WSJ.
Mamet has this movement’s number, all right. “Nobody really believes it. Nobody really believes boys turn into girls and girls turn into boys—no one does. But it’s put into a different category, so that it becomes dangerous to question it. If you question it, you’re out.” He brings up Salem. “The delusion ran for about 18 months,” Mr. Mamet says, summarizing the book, “and after that, since they couldn’t explain it, they just forgot it. It never happened.”
I suspect a similar thing will happen with the gender hippies. One day, Zoe Williams will forget about all this just as she forgot about women-only gyms.
These kids will be forgotten too
They’re forgotten even now. You’ll never see Ronson or Williams write about the scandal of these surgeries.

"I will never understand what makes journalists so willing to debase themselves in service of this cult."
I saw an interview with Steve Coogan the other day where he said it's important to make his drama about Jimmy Savile "to ensure we don't make the same mistakes again." But we are literally making the same mistakes again; the only difference is that this time the criminal intent is out in the open. Everybody knows what sort of man is really, really keen to teach kids about sex and why, but journalists (like Zoe Williams, Jon Ronson et al) wouldn't dream of admitting it.
Baroness Nicholson's horror story about a rape covered-up in an NHS hospital is literally what happened with Savile but with a few exceptions, most media won't touch it.
I know someone who works in the BBC and she's beating her head against the wall in frustration at trying to get them to cover this stuff. She's as baffled as the rest of us as to why they're so scared.
I belonged to a women only gym . It is run by a lady who got pissed off with some of the men in the gym that her husband runs - she said they acted like total dick heads and it inspired her to set up her own place. Very supportive welcoming environment for women of any age and there are no mirrors.
Loving the Nicola Sturgeon picture 😂
