Yelling 'TERF' and 'transphobe' - simply ignorant, bloated cat-calls to the rancid, seething gender gallery.

A gallery made up of simple-minded, ideological dullards and blue-haired, tunnel-visioned students, prone to dangerously dichotomous thinking and still fresh out of gender or ‘queer’ studies at Aberystwyth University, and who are incapable of rubbing their own brains cells together. They simply regurgitate their 'opinions', ready-made and fully formed from a diet of Owen Jones Twitter feed and what they think Judith Butler may have once said on an obscure meme that their trans cousin twice-removed possibly saw on Twitter. (It wasn't Butler, it was Paisley)

What is worse is that this is an elected official; a mayor, no less. The highest ranking official in a UK town. This is a mayor who shouts and screams these unwarranted insults through his rainbow megaphone to no-one in particular. He is not fit to be in office - any office. Even ex-mayor Boris Johnson at his most incessantly rude and crassly racist, would not stoop to gutter level insults of such a large group of the populace.

An elected official should have a thoughtful, listening and sober demeanour, and represent the people of the town - those who elected him, and not. He should not stoop to typical Twitter playground insults of the gender critical because they have minds of their own with which they have examined the evidence, and as a result, refused to bend over and take his pernicious ideology up the arse.

He is a child. And children belong in the sand pit, playing with their peers.

Absolutely Mole. I agree wholeheartedly. I have a HUGE issue with these narcissistic little enby types who just play-act being trans and insist on speaking for and over trans people. Owen and his ilk haven't a clue what it means to be genuinely trans, to have a terrifying dysphoria. He only has to be whip off his glittery corset and pop on his brogues and he's back to being an ordinary chap in a suit. Yet he makes waaaay too much noise and does a massive disservice to genuine trans people. (Not sure I can share what one of my trans friends said about him but let's just say she'd like to give him a good hearty kick in the things we're not allowed to mention.)

all the surveys on this I'm reading lately (actually since I started reading them) place three quarters of folks, give or take a few percentage points, on the other side of his fantasy. 3/4 opposed to men in women's sports, men in women's facilities and in prisons and so on. For all their screeching and whining this hasn't changed. 75% seem to not want them discriminated against, but that same percentage doesn't want them taking a poop on anyone else's head either. When you take all these surveys and look at them collectively it makes most of society seem pretty smart and reasonable. Needless to say though the smart and reasonable don't live online.

Good observation. I still would say that most people are blissfully unaware of issues like this, which could possibly work in favour of the people pushing for unreasonable (to the vast majority) change.

I use the analogy of if I were to talk about this stuff in our local pub, in depth and with detail, hardly anyone would have a clue to what I refer...

Exactly what I thought and thankfully, you hasve put it into words much better than I could. For some reason this snivelling little twit makes me angier than some of the others rainbows wielding fools and there's rich pickings in that seam of lunacy. He is not fit for office and the fact that he has been able to sabotage the career of a woman who was is just dispicable.

Calling someone a terf and a transphobe is all you need to do to get the baying mob on your side these days in silencing, pillorying and abusing women to your heart's content. The justice of these charges is never questioned. So often the victim is a women who has stood up for gay and trans rights and yet that is no protection against the witchfinders.

It's horrible, isn't it? So many men who looked reasonable and nice were just *itching* to slam down uppity women and their stupid opinions as soon as it was socially acceptable. The second there was a plausible guise of virtue to hide behind they let us know what they really think of us.

Yes I will never feel the same way about the left having witnessed this. ever. ever. ever. I now can see how twisted it sounds to say one "belongs" to a political party. Ick. No one should ever "belong" to a political party. I certainly never will again. In the US 40 percent of the electorate is now independent. I don't even think either party will be able to accurately predict the outcome of any elections ever again, because so many have defected from both sides. I didn't even leave the left/democratic party over trans, I left because they were kissing islamofascist behind and endangering women and many brave and self-sacrificing apostates of that religion who were desperately trying to warn them to not get in bed with the political organizing wing of that religion. And the leftists spit in their faces. Leftist white males treat Ayaan Hirsi Ali like she's a literal Nazi when they interview her...it's completely insane, a woman who has seen the worst of right wing religious fascism and had her genitalia amputated as a young girl and these leftist arsewipes try to manplain to her why her world-view is wrong. I despise most of the young leftist males running their mouths these days.

Ugh. Poor Bangor. And apart from being everything else that’s just wrong, little green-haired Owen can’t spell - last screenshot of his statement about IWD - ‘... the emense contribution ...’

Ignorant on so many levels.

And no, we won’t ask about your genitals Owen, we really don’t want to but here’s something you need to know: genitals are part of sex and they matter. They really do.

It’s all a slightly newer brand of the same old misogyny, only MUCH more vile, extremely aggressive, orchestrated and warped beyond reason. I grew up in USA extremely liberal. My neighbors were gay and several neighbors were cross dressers, including a neighborhood woman...I barely noticed and was happy for them. Now, according to all the Men Who Think They Are Women terrorist hatemongers, every thought I have about women’s rights means I am committing war crimes against MWTTAW. Utter insanity.

This 23 year old mayor of Bangor, Owen whatever, is just another absolutely hateful, boring narcissistic, misogynist prick exposed for the unintelligent, intolerable bully he is. Reading of his extreme bullying of women irritates me and gives me indigestion. Thank you for exposing him.

what I hate is that they take themselves down, with their insanity, eventually. I hate it because it's usually getting popped for pedophilia or sexual assault. And the good thing is that every day that passes fewer and fewer people are listening to these idiots.

'Non-binary' has to be absolutely peak clown-world. We've all lived our entire lives in a world where almost everyone you ever meet is recognizably male or female at a glance. And now recognizably male or female people perk up and say 'actually I'm not male or female at all, I am super-special on the inside and I am a minority and oppressed' and instead of trusting their own 'lived' (this term makes me want to hurl, but you know what I mean) experience, people rush to pretend that suddenly there are people whose inside-feelz genuinely make them something that a) they objectively aren't, and b) doesn't even exist! It's like someone sitting on the sofa declaring they are a dragon and anyone who dares point out that's not a thing is a dragon-phobe and has forfeited their right to be seen in polite company. Frustrating.

I think it's evidence of lack of empathy actually - it's an inability to realise that other people are complex on the inside as well. These kids think that they aren't like other people, because they don't think that other people have inner lives.

years ago someone called it the "I-me" interaction, what happens online. Interacting with self not so much with other people.

I am wondering where the apparent correlation with autism fits in. Many of these kids do seem to have genuine difficulties understanding the minds of other people.

Before this bloke 'became' a dragon, he had 'become' into a woman...and before that he was a very handsome male, but his InnerDragon won out. I have NO idea about Dragon Genitalia, perhaps Owen could help me out there?

Bit tricksy to write, due to Tears of Chuckles blurring my vision.

Don't get me started on the DARVO lunacy of twisting the desire to know if someone is male or female into "asking about someone's genitals". Owen here wrote (ummm, doubt, let's say, pitched) a whole book about gaslighting innocent people into thinking they are being rude when they're not.

But tragically, I want to read his book. It will be appalling, of that I have no doubt, but still want to. It'd be fun ordering it in Waterstones or the library and watching all the expressions on people's faces. Don't want to give him any money though. Damn..

I am non binary, because I'm not a computer. However I can still think logically. They are clearly mad in Bangor to let a 23 year old TRA hijack the position of mayor to further their cause. Reading the nonsense in the quoted tweets it won't be long before they hang themselves with their own twisted reality.

Do mayors actually do anything though? Maybe he just wants to wear the big gilt chain and all the robes - if they still have those. Hope to God he has no actual power.

The only occasions I can recall that any mayors had a useful job to do was when they were wheeled out at the start of BBC's 'It's A Knockout' to meet Stuart Hall and Eddie Waring in Ely or wherever...

Hate to break it to him but males puttin on makeup and frocks is so old hat. At least Grayson Perry is open about the sexual pleasure he gets from donning frocks etc.

I must admit that the "they and them" affectations do nothing for the trans people he claims to support.

His reaction to Hellen Mary Jones he no doubt saw as a political competitor exposes a ruthlessness underneath his smiling persona.
