Nutmeg's week: Carol Potter, Robin Ince, Helen Webberley

Men in women’s sport summed up in one image

This is from an article this week in Glamour magazine, which is in support of male transvestites playing in women’s football.

The image is of a girl, wearing a ‘LET THE DOLLS PLAY’ t-shirt, on her knees, kissing the foot of a cheating man.

£1.3 million for abject failure

The CEO of NHS Fife will reportedly be paid £1.3 million to take early retirement. The announcement that Carol Potter will step down next year comes a week after The Courier revealed the health board had refused several freedom of information requests regarding the Sandie Peggie case. Staff at Kirkaldy’s Victoria Hospital are reported to have lost confidence in Potter’s leadership due to her handling of the Peggie tribunal.

Long-serving nurse Peggie brought a case against the hospital trust when she was suspended for raising concerns about sharing a changing room with a male doctor who claims to be a woman. Potter is thought to have been partly responsible for the controversial 1,700 word statement released by NHS Fife, the original version of which appeared to link Peggie’s supporters with violence and harassment.

Reduxx is getting sued

A ‘lesbian’ author is suing the Canadian women’s rights news outlet Reduxx for defamation after it published an article describing this biological male as ‘a man’.

Reduxx’s exposé of Japan-based author Li Kotomi outlines multiple lawsuits Kotomi has already filed against women and lesbian rights advocates who refer to Kotomi as ‘male’. The article includes details of several women’s literary awards and prizes Kotomi has won for fiction, which focuses on teenage lesbian protagonists. It also contains evidence that Kotomi believes paedophilia to be a sexual orientation akin to homosexuality and ‘can’t agree’ that it’s a ‘pathology’.

Reduxx referred to Li Kotomi with he / him pronouns throughout the piece and discovered it was being sued for defamation soon afterwards. Kotomi managed to launch the case against the Canadian organisation by tracking down a Japan-based Reduxx contributor and sending a legal notice to her. The lawsuit claims it is ‘factually incorrect’ and ‘invasive’ to refer to Kotomi as a man and demands the article is removed, as well as financial compensation.

Things aren’t getting better at the BBC

It’s been a couple of weeks since the BBC lost both its director general and CEO of news, amid claims of systemic left wing bias which very much included a pro trans obsession. There have been numerous stories since then highlighting more examples of the BBC’s transgender agenda, the damage it was causing and how internal opposition to it was ignored. There have also, embarrassingly, been a few programmes featuring cross-dressing men that have aired lately. For example, Celebrity Masterchef started this week on the BBC, and it features a drag queen who has been (literally) central to the BBC’s marketing of the show.

You may recognise the man as the BBC gave him his own ‘comedy’ show last year, which is one of the worst things ever broadcast.

BBC News also this week wrote an article about what could be in the forthcoming Budget about business rate relief. The article was entirely about how it may impact drag queens.

After their resignations, the BBC also decided to give a 26 minute radio platform to a cross-dressing man in Wales to explain how he discovered he was a witch at the same time that he realised he was a woman, which came about because he had a dream about a woman.

And even though there’s been a surge in extreme violence carried out by ‘trans’ people in the last year, nobody in the UK has been killed because they say they are ‘trans’. Despite this, BBC Sounds broadcast a programme about why ‘Transgender Day of Remembrance’ is so important.

And this week BBC News reported on a trustee of charities, who has declined to be part of a group of ‘top 100 women’ cyclists because, this year, no men were included. Claire Sharpe said Cycling UK previously included transvestites in its annual list but was disappointed to see none this year.

Plus a new episode of BBC quiz show The Inner Circle features another transvestite contestant.

There’s also almost no end of trans propaganda still on BBC platforms such as the iPlayer and its various YouTube channels.

For example, this documentary is still on BBC Fresh on YouTube, a channel aimed at young people. It entirely portrays giving puberty blockers and testosterone to a confused girl as a good thing. BBC stars Stephen Fry and Graham Norton then paid for the filmmaker to have her healthy breasts removed.

Incidentally, the ‘trans man’ filmmaker went on to make comic books aimed at children that her publisher has since put ‘18+’ labels on. She recently appeared on stage with BBC presenter Robin Ince, who used the event to criticise the British media for reporting on men in women’s spaces.

Malcolm Clark has posted a thread highlighting some of the schools materials the BBC has produced, which for example tells children they can be born with a gender identity different from their body.

He also found this clip from Casualty from 2023, which is still on social media.

And finally

Helen Webberley’s GenderGP is launching in the USA, so she’s been doing media work to promote it.

It did not go well.

See you next week!
