Thanks to Tish for writing this. I’m honoured. The original is here. As an archivist, I have tended to cover people who are key influencers in this debate, but I have probably focused too much on those with whom I disagree. To remedy this I am going to give Graham his own series. I know it’s not exactly Netflix but his role needs to be on the record. I will start with his appearance on Newsnight, interviewed by Sarah Smith. Transcript below and a link to the YouTube.

Well done Tish! Fantastic work! Sarah Smith made a perfect ar*e of herself. It was unbelievably poor for someone of her experience and needs addressing 🤩👌
My God, he really has, and he keeps going. If it wasn't for people like Graham, Arty and Helen, which is how I first became aware that was this kind of accessible, organised and coherent exchange of thoughts, I would have thought I was shouting my thoughts into a void, particularly with the work I do. Now I know you too Fred, and reading about your experiences and opinions has added so much. It's made sense of some prominent ideas and I think helped me to gain a more comprehensive perspective. There are so many of you I'd like to thank on every level. Those at the misery face, unpicking the tangled threads of misogyny and homophobia now woven into magic LGBT cloth, that makes flags, clothes, TV programmes and philosophies. Those having to deal with the representative dickheads on some level, practically or having to talk to them, and be told what to say about them. And all the people who are aware, continuing to think and staying aware for the sake of themselves and a lot of other people, many of whom are very vulnerable. And everyone on here, of course. x

I've seen this shameful interview several times but this excellent dissection beautifully exposes what an abysmal biased conceited interviewer Sarah Smith is. The BBC is just the place to hire and promote people like her and is the reason I don't watch it. I can't wait for the BBC to lose its public funding.

"Oh come on, you're not comparing children going to the doctor worried about their gender to Nazis". No, we aren't saying that the children experimented on by either Nazi or gender 'doctors' are Nazis, Sarah - come on! The way she frames this is with the assumption that "children who are worried about their gender" have full agency, ability to consent and are the ones being held to account says it all. No, Sarah. The adults are.
Really interesting read. And rewatching it, it’s clear how the “journalist” is acting as a mouthpiece for the Stonewall side of the argument. No surprise - Smith is now in the BBC Washington office and that wouldn’t have happened if she couldn’t plead allegiance to the flag (pun intended)!
Great work Tish. What a hatchet job Sarah Smith tried to do on Graham there; no attempt at balance and fairness, simply attack attack attack with no effort whatsoever at meaningful discussion and deliberately avoiding actually confronting any of the important points Graham was trying to raise. In short, this 'interview' was a disgrace. Sadly, just what you'd expect from an organisation deep in Stonewall's pocket. So much for BBC 'impartiality'.
That was a dreadful 'interview'. It was so obits from the moment it started the 'interviewer' was far from impartial, and by the end I was almost certain she had a clear agenda to support and defend Stinewall and Tavstock against anything Graham was going to say.

I desperately hope people watching can clearly see who's the aggressor and who's the protector. What a sad excuse for a journalist. Women like her make feminism look like a sh*t show when in fact, feminism started out to be the exact opposite.
Many women who claim to be feminist, yet undermine women and feminism with their accusations against women and their male allies, have been given prominence. Hillary Clinton is one I vehemently detest. She vilifies Sanders, while supporting her pedo husband. She was also a staunch supporter of Weinstein, after trying to destroy Lewinsky’s life.
I’ve already been in the shit with them. I deleted my Twitter in 2017, which I now regret. Neera Tanden personally attacked me for a tweet about Hillary’s damned emails, which I do care a great deal about. We all should.
That's interesting that you regret deleting your Twitter. Do you give any credence to the idea that one of her staffers leaked the emails, you know, the staffer who ended up dead?
I only regret it because I didn’t screenshot that tweet. Maybe it’s in my google photos, which didn’t sync well when I switched to Apple. I don’t regret not being on Twitter. It ruins quality of life, especially with their draconian and lopsided censorship.
Regarding the leaked emails, I do find it suspicious that that staffer died, as well as that lawyer who supposedly shot himself in the stomach? Who kill themselves with a gut shot? Hillary and Bill are sociopaths. She may be more so than him. Watching her laugh about describing Qaddafi’s death was chilling. Why put it past a woman who has organized the destruction of multiple countries for her own gain to do so for some inconvenient acquaintances and staffers? They’re trying to kill Assange, after all, for exposing their crimes.
The battle for the recognition and honouring of biological reality is humanity's battle. I deeply deeply disagree with the unnecessary division between who 'gets' to fight it. Both women and men have the right and the moral duty to speak out on this issue. Yes, the battle is clearly for the existential meaning of 'woman', but boys and girls are being affected, teenage males and teenage females, young women and men. The cult ideology is challenging everyone's (female and male) right to their own common sense and their own ethical boundaries. Each and every human being must fight for reality, and against the upsetting of the natural law that is dimorphic sex, and all the horrors that flow from the flouting of that natural law.
I agree. I am fighting for my gay son who is now on the #TuringTreatment due to this ideology. Also if you follow the extremists (Like Rothblatt) they are seeking to undermine what it is to be human. He’s bonkers but also rich and a trustee of the Mayo Clinic.
'The TuringTreatment' -- wow, what a powerful term. It accurately points out the homophobic and 'medically' horrific 'decision' to flood a human being's finely tuned endocrine system with wrong sex hormones. Completely erases the 'trans' washing of the crime.
Yes. This is what gets me and 'finely tuned' is also a great way to put it. If we needed those hormones we would likely have evolved to have them. Surely? How do the endocrinologists explain this all away. I know there's growing evidence of the damage and the unknowns, but where is the supporting evidence for it? It's shocking but it really does appear one mass experiment. Surely endocrinology teaches the power and impact of hormones and hormonal imbalances. They're playing God - many are making money and others are making healthcare on the fly.
Since ‘trans’ ‘medical’ ‘care’ violates all ten tenets of the Nuremberg Code, I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to compare the ‘trans debate’ to speaking out against Nazis.
Nice work Tish. I would love to hear what Sarah Smith has to say for herself now - it was pee-poor journalism and should be taught as an example of how to try to smear and discredit someone an push your own agenda. I hope she is proud to be part of throwing women adn children under the bus.
Thanks to the demented 'left', we now have the ludicrous likes of Marjorie Taylor Green representing those who are fighting back against the 'gender' cult. Real democracy handed over on a 'gender' platter. Real choice handed over on a 'trans' platter. The destructive influence of the 'gender' cult is deep deep deep and never-ending.
And yet in Britain the fight is still represented largely by women on the left and people are comfortable working across parties on this issue. That's despite the loudest left wing voices (mostly male) being overtly hostile.
It's fun for us to watch from afar, but American politics (I'm including Canada) really needs to stop selecting the crazies. Or at least give them roles such as "Chief under secretary for opening jars", as we do to keep them quiet.
Bloody good piece Tish

Graham's been the epitome of courage with honor throughout this mess. Thank you STILLTish.

Never let any of them forget.

Oh, Jennie, you're in the shit now; all the Hillary lovers will come out of the woodwork (which they've been busy gnawing since 2016).

The Mayo Clinic treats patients like lab rats and probably cares about them less.
Absolutely agree. It's a fight for humanity itself ,males and females. A fight for truth ,reality and justice 💪🙏❤️

Here is some more sterling work from BBC:

Apparently they had to issue an apology to the two academics they attacked. Perhaps one day Graham will receive an apology.
Brilliant
