Society is handing a big fucking baseball bat to abusive maniacs

The two most important traits of Gender Dysphoria sufferers are (1) narcissism and (2) lack of empathy - I am repeating what I wrote for Hannah "War on Women".

Ordinary people come across slight to moderate narcissists all the time (our current PM is a narcissist, and Donald Trump was a narcissist).

It is the manipulation which everyone underestimated.

Disagree on narcissism being an element of gender dysphoria, necessarily. The problem is that "gender dysphoria" as a condition is too ill defined. It applies to 4 year old boys, 35 year old lesbian women, 60 year old heterosexual men... what can it even be, then? My wife is a dysphoric, butch lesbian and is the most other centered human. One of life's listeners, generous, and lovely. She chooses to live with her condition and to learn to love the skin she's in without transition, and I find that incredibly brave, and hot, and wonderful. Not at all narcissistic, not to be judged as such. Maybe you mean it's an element of people who are dysphoric and choose to deal with that through hormones and surgeries?

I agree that GD has been "adopted" by many different groups. I simply think that my lazy, selfish ex-husband wanted to escape with my money, to be honest!

“Eat shit fuck face” is such a nuanced and intelligent counter argument though 🙄 Gotta admire this dude’s rhetoric 😉

Most of the account is like that! He's not exactly Oscar Wilde...

I heard lack of testosterone in males causes aggressiveness. It explains so much.

Expand full comment

Too much can also cause it. Or just being a narcissistic male with misogynistic tendencies will do it. (Those lovely men who do NOT threaten are not the narcissistic ones.)

It is much more complicated than that.

His DMs were so ladylike, so demure. No male aggression there at all. Nope, none.....

To be honest, his public Twitter feed is no better! At best, he behaves like a truculent adolescent, at other times he's a raging ball of hate and fury.

I read the “eat shit fuck face” and was reminded of a school kid. It’s juvenile behaviour. In fact this whole debacle is petulant kids regardless of their biological age and sex. As my mum would have said “they all need a hard foot in the arse”

"I'm talking to time magazine"...maybe he meant to type 'TIM magazine'? That would make more sense.

Maybe he means he has the magazine in his hands and he's talking to it.

That’s right abusive male pattern violence. Do what I say or else. It’s what women get ground down by everywhere and all the time so they get to be the slaves, pay all the bills, hand it all over do all the work and yes Governments do it to women as a class as well. 2 jobs plus childcare x how many children and having to serve these tyrants who are so self absorbed, dumb, bores and destructive. Tedious beyond measure. If they weren’t so dangerous it would be a ANOTHER pathetic joke... having to organise opposition and wasting all our precious life hours on something so patently ridiculous is offensive and beyond irritating. Almost as though....it’s a red herring to keep us distracted from ALL the other abuses against and oppression and neglect of women going on. More rampant sexism and erasure of women’s legal and human rights.

Oh my word, that fighting this issue consumes so much of my time and energy it probably thing that makes me the most angry! It takes up so many 'feminist hours' that would be far spent helping women instead of doing battle with maniacs!

Maniacs is right with their revolting flying monkeys and handmaidens covering for them.

That plonker tried his luck on Mumsnet last month, asking if there was any evidence to back up GC viewpoints. He was after screenshots for twitter of course. The thread got zapped.

As for evidence of gender critical views, he might try taking his head out of his arse for 5 minutes and look at biology and reality.

Quite right! He's not a journalist, he's only interested in bolstering his own delusions. (And I don't think he has a very firm grip on either biology or reality!)

Expand full comment

People like him aren't interested in biology and reality. They want their own reality and to impose it forcibly on everyone else.

On twitter, the editor of Pink News denied Snow writes for them. When sent the link to all those articles written said "that was 5 years ago". The most recent article is 4 weeks old.

Hahaha! Oh that's really made me laugh. These people really are as thick as mince.

They so love lying. The lies come so fast without even thinking.

He was responding to question on a short thread that began with someone sharing this very article... which clearly mentions the Feb 2021 article. He's not only a liar, he's a bloody idiot!!

Expand full comment

amusingly, he then asked the person he'd just told "that was 5 years ago" "Did you not check the date?" Patronising git... and yes, she had.

His dialogue reminds me very much of my big brother and how he'd behave when we played Monopoly as children.

Ha! Unless you let him win, I suppose?

He'd throw the board up in the air and storm out the room in a rage if he didn't win. When he grew up he joined the police.

Watching documentary on netflix re college admissions scandal. Wouldn't a documentary on this issue be very helpful to reach a wider audience?

I think the fragrant Michelle is also not very bright. How on earth did they think this was going to work?

Lumbering around social media with the grace and intelligence of a brick, threatening people who are clearly more intelligent with them with exposure for "crimes" they haven't committed was never going to work.

Having said that, I won't be surprised if they make something up.

Oh, thick as mince, for sure! It's many years since my brief dalliance with journalism but I'm pretty sure extorting a story through menaces, lying about sources and making a very obvious agenda clear as day is never going to win the Pulitzer Prize!

Pink News denied that this person worked for them - but their last article was a month ago. Apparently, they're not ON STAFF, but kind of disingenuous, no?

Challenging crazy people like this seems pointless, it is those that allow it that need to be held to account. Like the doctors who perform surgery and justify it by claiming they’re not sure if sex exits but who seem pretty sure that they can help someone who wants to change sex. More people like Keira Bell need to come forward and go after these butchers. I’ll be up for donating to that fund.

This explains his recent love letter all about Jon Snow. He has actually renamed himself Snow, he's so identified with the character. He must think he's the fictional sister. He's as mad as a ships cat.

Read the blog, its all over twitter. Its a massive rant, I just skimmed the lovelorn Jon Snow bits, they were so weird.
