"We either believe that a 13-year-old who gets pregnant, or a 13-year-old trans kid, should be able to access the healthcare they need, have control over their own bodies, or we don't"

Twist it any way you like, you lousy piece of shite, it's not the same. Women know it's not the same. Birth control is not the same as cutting off healthy body parts. Birth control is not the same as completely destroying your endocrine system. An early abortion (through accidental pregnancy or whatever) is not the same as destroying your actual body, to the point that you have to access healthcare permanently. This makes me so cross, can't you tell?

Haven't read the rest yet - I may need to do it in stages..... ;)

Yes. Both paediatric transition and pursuing a pregnancy until it's conclusion are considerably likely to damage a 13 year-old girl's body. That's why we provide the option of termination to 13 year olds you sleazy, false equivalency spouting shite! Unbelievable...

Pregnancy should have informed consent, if anything. I’m fact, in my state the consent form for abortion states the risks for abortion AND pregnancy plus childbirth.

Loved the Graham Diary. It's perfect. I have read through your writing for the first time (not counting your daily posts and captions / Gender ideology criticism). It's shocking that people need to explain themselves so much. Are we going to see more of Glinner's Diary ?

Also Janice Turner had spot on response to that tweet. Suzie's sneeze did infect a lot like Covid pandemic, however Mermaid will fall now. Only stonewall seems to be in denial along with the Misogynist pricks Aiden and Colm, seriously what will it take to shut their faces up ? Aiden is a relentless douche bag. Someone needs to slap him flat across his face, more good if it is a Woman doing the honours.

Those pictures of men claiming to be women remind me - the Christmas panto season is approaching. Perhaps a job as a pantomime dame awaits them. They look the part.

Yes! The bloke who has allowed his "friends" to troll his delusion that he in any way resembles Meghan Trainor is really something else, isn't he?!

Above all else, I find myself horrified at the drag queen hair dos.

Really enjoyed your Spectator diary, and there can never be too much Jiminy Glick - he's such a great character.

Graham, your Spectator diary is great. I actually cried laughing at the 'And Finally' bit - the deer 😂. Feckin genius 👏

He's got Janice correct name - but the link on her name goes to this article: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/would-your-marriage-withstand-a-tandem-test-l2npknr38 . I can read the quote from her article below though - and that is helpful. Since I don't subscribe to the Times - but probably should - I can't find the correct link... Maybe this one is correct? https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/keira-bell-i-couldnt-sit-by-while-so-many-others-made-the-same-mistake-gb03n3mlr - got it at: https://muckrack.com/VictoriaPeckham/articles

Yes, it’s correct now, but wasn’t before.

Also, the link IS correct - it’s a three-part column, Graham quotes the middle part on S.Green
