Each attempt at persuasion is another tap on the fragile glass that this stupid belief system is made of. Keep tapping, it’s only a matter of time until it shatters.
Which is why I have elected to step away from this for a bit because I am at the point where...well, let's just say my anger is spilling over to dangerously unhealthy levels and I find myself headed into a really dark place.
It is incredible to see how deep the misogyny of women runs in our culture, isn't it? Thank you, Graham, for continuing to speak on this issue. I wrote a book in 2014 on the shocking treatment of women and girls resulting from favouring multiculturalism over women's (and girls') rights and then unpublished it out of fear. I have decided to re-publish it for free (as Amazon these days would never allow it) on my substack. It's called "Notes from a Blonde". Stay tuned.
May I add? Graham, you may think you have run out of ways to persuade people, but I don't think you realize your power. And you've been magnificent in this battle. And will continue to be.
I don’t know, Graham: I really don’t know. If I knew I’d be doing it.
I thought that the first verified rape by a trans-identified man of a vulnerable woman in a space that was supposed to be single sex - let’s say Christopher “Jessica” Hambrook, raping a deaf-mute woman in a homeless shelter in Canada back in 2014 - and it would all be over, everywhere in the world, for good.
How wrong I was.
Well - I may have had longer than you have had to get my head round the fact that, by & large, this is a culture that doesn’t give much of a shit about women.
Tell them men who claim to be women want to remove babies from their mothers arms and give themselves a gender hit as a “breastfeeding mum”. It is a fetish.
Stonewall is deliberately malicious. They could easily tell the NHS to say 'women and transmen' or 'men and transwomen' but they are determined to erase the word 'woman' for the female sex.
Without the word 'woman' many women who don't speak fluent English may not realise cervical screening is for them and it will put them at serious risk.
Many ethnic minority women also need their families to translate for them. Many women don't even know they have a cervix, so how many males translating for them will realise they need to tell women need to get tested? How many men will phone for an appointment and waste valuable resources?
Women will die because Stonewall wants to erase our words.
While I wouldn't actually harm a trans person but if I saw one step out into traffic, about to get hit by an oncoming bus whereas I and I alone have the ability to reach out and pull them to safety it wouldn't be much of a dealbreaker for me if they just got hit by the bus.
And that's a very dark, ugly thing to think.
These TRAs really need to examine why someone like me would feel that way.
I wish I knew; the articles I've posted on Facebook (most of them pretty reasonable and well thought-out - I don't post the more radical ones) have lost me Facebook friends (tho' no real-life friends) and lots of acid-spitting disgust at my TERF-ness/bigotry/transphobia/what-have-you.
A couple of friends of mine agree with me; interestingly, they are all women with daughters.
I wish I could do something to even get people to discuss the topic with me; but they either stop communicating with me without a word, or spit bile then disappear, or just agree that we shouldn't talk about the subject because they'll get angry at me. Most people I know seem to hold it as an essential truth of some sort, not worthy of discussion. And that saddens me.
The other option, if all us adults start claiming a trans identity and dying our hair in rainbows and take cross sex hormones and damage our bodies, it will no longer be cool?
I'm repeating lots of people, but I think you're well placed to write a great book on the changes in the cultural landscape in the last decade or so and how major events and trends relate or clash.
Saville, Gamergate, #metoo, the gender war, groomer discourse, safeguarding, free speech, content moderation, homophobia, misoginy, racism (all 3 more from the left) wokeism, Tumblr, Twitter....
If you don't do it, Adam Curtis will do it in a 5 hour film in 2035.
Heard mention that publishers are actively courting GC's to write books these days as the tide slowly turns
Self-immolation? Not even sure that would make a difference, they'd just be glad there was one less terf in the world. It makes me sick what this cult is doing to our society.
I know exactly how you feel. The word is getting out there but nobody seems to be listening?? Today i was really upset to see an autistic girl and her mother posing in a photo describing her as her lonely trans child in an Autistic group im in. Mum wants child to meet new friends in groups run for autistic kids My heart breaks.
Don't know who the bosses are in the NHS ( ie who actually makes all these decisions ) but we need a massive campaign to lobby all the relevant people ,MPs etc to stop this dangerous nonsense. The elected GOVERNMENT is supposed to be running the country ,not Stonewall etc and we are becoming more and more angry at their inaction and the silence of so many sectors of the media ,and all these well known celebrities who have either become blind and deaf or have fallen right to the bottom of the rabbit hole.!! You can hold your head up high ,Graham ,as can many others ,and our fightback is growing. Keep your chin up

Keep chipping away, I guess.

The words male and men still appearing on prostate cancer NHS page so they can’t put the removal of woman down to inclusivity https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/prostate-cancer/

Also, I think de-transitioners are the way out, and possibly the golden bridge for the younger ones ensnared in the cult.
