Absolutely true I love it when you’ve done a new graphic makes my day when all this is so grim

What about a book - include Fiona Bruce and Robert Winstone

I get asked this so many times! It's a lovely thought and I do appreciate it, but copyright issues would be a problem.

Yes, enjoy your work. Visual satire's getting rarer!

Its funny how TRAs&allies react. When told the human specie is anisogamic they usually dont know how to respond and start calling you names or other weird gestures.

When im told there are a infinite number of sexes/genders then i ask how they differ from man/woman when it comes to dna, anatomy and gametes. Get told im phobic in return lol

Just after they say gender is a social construct so changing it isn’t a problem, try telling them that race is too. They don’t seem to appreciate it for some reason.

Ouch !

Ha! Obviously had to look that word up! The esteemed and honourable WikiP cites a contested theory from 2003. Unfortunately a wold goose chase. Shits pretty insipid right now. Gentle reminders of newspeak everywhere.

Wold goose? Probably "world goose" is better

Or indeed, "wild goose chase". I blame whisky.

Beer, coffee, eggnog or whatever he wants bought for Moley.

Cannot stop grinning over those pathetic adult men wishing each other safety over the twitter like it’s the fucking blitz. What the fuck do they think is going to happen!?! I just cannot come to terms with how much people dramatise the idea of potentially being ‘victimised’. It’s so weird.

Thanks so much for that. Appreciated very much.

You’re very welcome, mate. Thank you for your genius! And merry Christmas.

The pathetic babies are truly pathetic. Stay safe? From people coming out as GC? Please show us the actual evidence where transwomen and TRAs are in danger or have been threatened by GC folk. There is plenty of evidence that it's the other way around.

Expand full comment

They do realise that the GC people are already out there and not locked in a closet don't they? No-ones turning into a monster over night. They are no more at risk than they would be on any other day. Drama babies.

I don’t get this sort of fallout when I disclose I’m an atheist to religious folks. And I could consider that God is a more important concept than gender stereotypes being more important than natal sex. I mean, most concepts deserve more respect than the latter, tbf.

Expand full comment

Same here for saying I'm an athiest - sometimes some pity that I'm not saved, but that's it. I have had an awful lot of bile and vitriol over the years for saying I didn't want kids though - on a par with the TRA stuff at times. Once more an issue about women having a say over biology and their bodies and rights. Funny that.

Expand full comment

I hear you! I enjoy talking with the faithful who practice forgiveness and love, it's a valuable insight for a non believer. When it comes to all the mothers in my life, it's hard to shake the attitude that my human experience (sans baby) is less valuable than theirs! Being a woman is often difficult around other women, being a women around non-women is often impossible.

Expand full comment

Yes, women in the all-women village in Kenya said they don't consider that one is a woman until one has children. Absurd but millennia-old thinking under patriarchy.

Expand full comment

“Being a woman is often difficult around other women, being a women around non-women is often impossible.”- Wonderfully put!

Expand full comment

And yes. The belief in ‘God’ being goodness and trying to emulate that, and acknowledging evil is a human condition. I understand it, I follow the same rules… just not in a religious concept.

Expand full comment

The hate doesn’t get much better even if you have kids. In fact, all your opinions, in general, are deemed insignificant.

If you are biologically female, you can’t win.

Expand full comment

So many men are such whiny cowards, so pathetic. And now they don't even mind appearing in public as pathetic.

Expand full comment

STAY FUCKING SAFE WHEN GC WOMEN GET DEATH/RAPE THREATS AND DOXXING AND MAKE RATIONAL WELL CONSIDERED ARGUMENTS!!!! OMAFG!!!!

Expand full comment

Yes, it's not as if we're being urged to target TRAs with threats of physical or psychological harm, is it? It's simply a day for people to say "I don't drink the Kool Aid".

Expand full comment

They seemed surprised that people that knew about them were ones giving them a hard time!? Did they think their fan base was 14 year olds on Tiktok. As cringeworthy as Billy Bragg's venture into genderwoo.

Nonono! Not the Sleaford Mods too😭

It's MAD! Like finding out my faves were Scientologists!

Expand full comment

Just read the Women Are Human article about Sophie Labelle and feel ill. I don’t have children, but I think those that do and happily post images of their children online are naive to do so when individuals like Labelle could get hold of them. Just wrong. His hard drive should be checked.

Expand full comment

This would possibly be construed as child porn in the U.S. And I still cannot believe that people put photos of their children online. Pedophiles like to look at even fully clothed children. Parents were outraged at a sex offender taking photos of their children at a playground here in Maine and got that stopped.

The connection between furries and online grooming is hard to ignore. In particular, the influence anthropomorphic communities have over children on the spectrum. Daddy Bangles was given unlimited access by responsible adults without even donning a fur suit! No one charged, as far as I know.

Expand full comment

I'm amused, it's that's the right word, by Paul Ilett's concern for his safety and the safety of others in relation to GC Day. The incongruity is certainly in keeping with the delusion, hyperbole and hypocrisy of TRA's and their 'allies', or fellow misogynists.

Voted for JKR on the Guardian website, although I doubt very much they would dare to accept the result if she did win.

Expand full comment

That would be fascinating to see. If she won clearly, would the try and G squirm their way out of it?!

Expand full comment

All these beardy bros keep sending out their vacuous virtue signals for those sweet dopamine hits from other wokies is so disingenuous. Then, they sit around bidding one another to "stay safe" while fantasizing on Twitter about the possibility of them being somehow victimized by GC coming out day.

Oh, and I just saw where a German Bible Museum transed Jesus as in turned him into a TIM. They also turned the Virgin Mary into a TIM and said we "need to take a deeper look at the varied gender identities in the Bible."

While Trans Ideology is certainly a religion, I dont feel most Christians will approve. I had a hearty laugh, however. Even Graham in his genius comedic writing could not come up with such absurdities. 😂

Moley, will be sending you some support very soon. Thanks for keeping on 💜

Good points there! Interesting about the German Museum stuff....

And thanks so much! I do appreciate the support!

Even more evidence that the tras have completely lost it !! Completely bizarre. Makes you wonder who runs museums these days !!

Considering that Germany makes Amsterdam look wholesome, I would guess that predatory perverts run the bible museum.

Aw, thanks Graham! I did note the irony of someone posting a photograph of Hagrid in that Twitter thread, given Robbie Coltrane was one of the few, or possibly only Potter actor to speak out in JKR's defence.

At least you're not getting all indignant and comparing yourself to Jews in death camps!

Honest to God, those men-babies sound ridiculous. They're scared of some people putting a hashtag on their tweets? I have a suggestion for them if it's that terrifying; don't log onto Twitter that day.

Some heavy filters in use on that rainbow unicorn bedecked cartoonist there.

Good interview on the JHB show the other day. Well done!

Beer sent to the lovely Moley.

Nomination sent to the Guardian.

Thanks for everything Graham.

Thanks very much, appreciated.

I’d suggest if they get scared that easily, they stay off twitter all together. I’d ask how these people manage to leave the house when the average person on the street know’s that sex is more important than gender stereotypes. But I’m sure they’d answer “with great difficulty! Everyday I fear for my life! My LIFE IS IN CONSTANT DANGER!”.

I mean, I’m a woman and I don’t make this fuss. Twitter is fucking horrible for women. I just simply no longer log on.

Expand full comment

I would go further and suggest if they get scared that easily they should simply hide in their wardrobes in perpetuity. Perhaps after dark they could gingerly open the door and then sneak out for snacks - Jelly babies, rusks and egg soldiers would be appropriate...

That is, assuming they are not scared of the dark as well...

Expand full comment

I wouldn’t assume anything at this point.

We can dream! The world would be a better place if they'd lock themselves in their wardrobes!

Happy to buy our Twitter ‘Banksy’ an advocaat or 2 for Christmas 🎄

I read yesterday, on our esteemed window to the bewildered, that a trans lesbian had acquired a penis … acquired?

Planted a seed and it grew ? Oh wait …

it might now be possible.

Last week Adam and Eve, Eve of course was trans …

Then an entire thread on how the poor unsuspecting little poppets, wouldn’t have read any Harry Potter, because JKR wrote transphobia throughout every book.

Will these ever have gainful employment?

Nothing to see here. Move along, everything’s fine …..

Thanks Jan.

Don't jump all over me, but I've never read or seen anything by JKR! To this point, I haven't contributed to her success. I'm going to see about correcting that soon, one way or another.

Expand full comment

I binge read the Harry Potter books when the last one came out years ago. I was around 20ish so a bit later than u really should imo. They're basically YA novels done really well so if you're out of your teens you may not get as much out of them.

Expand full comment

I read them for work and enjoyed them, and plenty of adults in the U.S. love them.

Expand full comment

As adult, you would not have. Someone lent me the first 3 Harry Potters. They are written for children, although to be honest, I was still able to enjoy her tremendous imagination. Still, she became a heroine to me with her anti Trump tweets and she's done nothing to disappoint me here.

She does write as Robert Galbraith for adults so these are the books to look for.

I've recently read them.

Good Lord, what an imagination that woman has!

Yea read Potter. Our entire family read them, even my 80 year old mum. Great fun

How have they managed to shut the shop down? :(

Expand full comment

I think it is a series of targeted 'complaints'.

Expand full comment

Can we get it back up and running? We could have codewords!

Expand full comment

No chance as it stands. Maybe elsewhere on another platform, self-owned and self-run by several keen folks though. Maybe.

Expand full comment

I'm sorry this has happened to you. These are targeted campaigns and I'm not sure how that can pass unnoticed. Anyone is now at risk and they seem indiscriminate. Offend the magic sauce and that's it.

Not impressed that authorities keep shelving responsibility and allowing the same playbook - put in a 'complaint', then remove ability to use a platform or marketplace as 'it's up to the T&Cs of that platform'. Those are coordinated attacks on free speech, harassment and a whole load more.

The amount of vigilance needed to moderate and keep from being doxxed and deplatformed by those attacking yet screaming loud that they're the ones under attack.

I hope you can pal up with someone else. A collective if you will.

Expand full comment

Thank you, I appreciate these words. And I agree fully - of course.

They still haven't even bothered to inform me via email or by any other method that my store has been terminated. And this despite a follower-friend and customer asking them specifically 'what has happened to the store?' - their reply was 'I can assure you that the owner of the shop has been informed...' Well that is untrue. I should know.

The reasons for the termination(s) notwithstanding, it is an utterly appalling way to do professional business with a so-called 'partner' - let alone an individual person. It is shameful.

Flaky partners, who wants to do business with them? They sound back boneless. How does Posy P sell her stuff?

What platform was it on? I want to write to them. Hate this stuff. TRAs are such BABIES (insult to babies - sorry babies) and just made of spite.
