Nutmeg's week
The last week in the UK has been dominated by the ongoing reaction to the news that men are not women.
Among those who once pretended to believe the impossible, eight main patterns of reaction have emerged:
Bridget Phillipson - pretend you always said men are not women.
Angela Eagle - pretend that, in some cases, men can still be women.
Lewis Silkin - pretend the judgement proves that men are actually women.
Maggie Chapman - pretend that the judges who made the decision are all bigots.
Have I Got News For You - pretend the judgement never happened.
Bristol Old Vic - pretend the judgement doesn’t apply if you virtue signal.
The BBC - pretend the judgement means that cross-dressing men are even bigger victims than had previously been thought.
Troons - threaten to kill women.
While those running the Labour Party now seem to accept that biological facts are facts, sorry is still the hardest word to say, with Keir Starmer pointedly refusing to apologise to Rosie Duffield, and the Speaker of The House, Lindsay Hoyle, refusing to call on her during PMQs. Meanwhile, Green MSP Maggie Chapman has claimed the Supreme Court displayed ‘bigotry, prejudice and hatred’ following its clarification of ‘sex’ in the UK Equality Act. According to Chapman, the absence of ‘trans experts’ from the hearing is indicative of institutional bigotry akin to racism. A car crash interview caught her attempting to stand her ground while searching for an escape hatch.
Her recent public appearances have been so deranged that senior staff at Dundee University, where she is rector-elect, are now concerned about reputational damage. Perhaps one day she might be considered too unhinged even for the Scottish Greens.
The BBC kept pumping out the usual shameless propaganda, BBC News decided to showcase two cross-dressing men, portrayed them both as vulnerable victims, and asked one how the Supreme Court’s decision will make his life more difficult.
The first, a 60-year-old who was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2017, said he would now be too scared to go to a hospital because he could end up on a male ward. The second article mentions that the man’s wife went into a care home after being diagnosed with a terminal illness - but we don’t find out what happened to her, as the entire article’s focus is about how staff in the care home supported his decision to visit her while wearing women’s clothing.
Meanwhile, police are investigating the vandalism and defacing of statues that occurred during aggressive protests that took place across the UK, and particularly in London. The BBC largely ignored the behaviour of the protesters and instead fed the public headlines like this.
So far the police aren’t investigating the assaults by men on women peacefully showing their opposition to this men’s sexual rights movement, or the many placards and signs calling for the murder of JK Rowling and TERFs in general.
Home Office minister, Dame Diana Johnson, asked the Metropolitan Police to investigate the signs only to be informed by them that the images she had been shown weren’t recent photographs and came from older events. Dame Diana was somehow reassured by this answer, but when challenged by Kate McCann on Times Radio said she would liaise with the police again.
Many women have now furnished the police, Dame Diana and the Telegraph with original, time-stamped images of the signs, several of which made or referenced the claim that ‘the only good TERF is a dead TERF’, called for JK Rowling to be burnt as a witch, or stated the right of transvestites to ‘piss’ wherever they like. At the time of writing, there have been no arrests in connection with any of the evidently criminal behaviour on display at these protests. More protests, including a topless one in London, are planned for the future.
Here’s just some of the signage that was on display.
There have also been numerous videos circulating on social media taken from the protests which, just a few years ago, would have been comedy sketches.
For example, there was the old bloke in a bikini saying women in the women’s toilet he’d just used were fine with him being in there:
There was the ‘One Struggle, One Fight, Palestine, Trans Rights’ chant:
The man forgetting during the interview that he uses a lady voice:
(This wasn’t the only time this week that that happened as a man in a dress’s voice dramatically changed as he spoke to US congresswoman Nancy Mace):
A recent post on Mumsnet highlights why women may need legal protection from cross-dressing men and shows how disturbed some of these men can be.
The young mother who posted said she had been nice to her neighbour since his wife died a couple of years ago. However, recently he started publicly wearing women’s clothing. At the same time, he started making inappropriate comments to her. Then, last week, he knocked on her door, handed her used women’s underwear and asked if he could swap it for her underwear. With her six-year-old daughter running around, he then started rubbing his crotch. The mother is now frightened and distressed, and wants to move.
Culture bores
This week BBC News published its 20th and 21st articles about the death of drag queen The Vivienne, while he was also talked about on BBC Sounds and BBC Newsnight.
Reality make-up competition, Glow Up, returned to BBC TV this week. One of the new judges for the series is a drag queen and, of the 10 competitors, three are ‘non-binary’.
The corporation has also reported on a grant of £10,000 being awarded to a ‘queer film festival’ to broadcast films at various venues in Bradford over four days this November. It was not mentioned that this is public money, partly funded by Bradford Council, which is currently borrowing £525 million to stave off bankruptcy, or that the films the festival showed last year were almost entirely about transvestites.
There is continuing evidence that the public are letting the BBC know what it thinks of its gender ideology obsession, though. Despite the worst ratings ever for Doctor Who in the last 18 months, which included episodes lecturing the viewers on pronouns, the BBC decided to double down and brought trans activist Juno Dawson onto the writing team for the latest series. It’s probably fair to say that this is not working out well - the last episode, which aired on primetime on a Saturday evening, secured just 1.58m viewers, the first time the show had failed to get at least 2m. More people tuned in to watch the news three hours later. The viewing figures are so bad that even some remaining Doctor Who fans are admitting that the show is ‘broken beyond repair’ and that some episodes have been ‘genuinely terrible’.
Yet ITV probably had an even worse week than the BBC.
Firstly, ITV News failed to push back against Emily Bridges, a man demanding to compete in women’s sports, even after women were forced to crowdfund to keep him out.
Celebrity Big Brother had a 21-year-old dancer who says she “identifies with, but not as, non-binary”, and a 32-year-old Love Island contestant, urinate in front of each other in a giant cat litter tray while dressed as furries.
Finally, a coincidental (or was it?) piece of scheduling by ITV meant that Oxford University lecturer, Dr ‘Alexandra’ Hardwick, appeared on the UK version of the quiz show Jeopardy! this week. ‘Alexandra’ is a seasoned quiz show contestant, having appeared on Only Connect, Mastermind and University Challenge, among other shows. A lecturer in Greek literature at Corpus Christi College, ‘Alexandra’ was last seen giving the Kellogg LGBTQ+ History Month Lecture, which involved him wearing bondage chains and showing the audience photos of himself in a dress. The lecture is great comedy, if you try to forget that this man does a considerable amount of outreach work in schools.
‘Alexandra’ finished a very distant last on Jeopardy!, despite facing questions on Greek literature and mythology which were possibly deliberately tailored for him. Fortunately, he was able to acknowledge his polycule during the final round, or it would all have been for nothing. Eli is his girlfriend who identifies as a man (he / they) and Alex is her other boyfriend, who identifies as non-binary (she / they). Is it a coincidence that Jeopardy! host Stephen Fry suddenly became a ‘transphobe’ after this episode was filmed?
See you next week!
Just because no woman in the loos spoke up, does not mean they consented! Once again the MSM focusing on what is means for delusional men while leaving women out of the conversation!
The reactions to the Supreme Court decision have been astounding. So many autogynophiles out parading about lamenting they’ll no longer be allowed go in the loos that “suit them best”; so many media nitwits showing they really have no critical thinking skills whatsoever; so many men who think they’re women being invited to give their views about how terrible the whole thing is; the faux concern for butch lesbians that all other women are about to turn on them and toss them out of the women’s loos (is there a less convincing argument since many of the men making this extraordinary claim are the very ones who like to stop lesbians meeting unless “lesbians with penises” are allowed in to ruin the fun); our national broadcasters doing their “Look over there” nonsense; and ….. hardly any coverage of women explaining why this was an important decision for women and girls.
Despite all that, the celebrations have been wonderful. But obviously there's more to do yet!
Thank you Nutmeg for the continuous supply of evidence that’s so useful for peaking people and for convincing those who are skeptical about our concerns because they’re “things that wouldn’t ever happen” that those things not only DO happen, but are commonplace occurrences.
