I think I can perhaps best sum up the possible impact of this news in one word:

"Ooof!!"

A dark dark tangled web finally dragged out into the sunlight. A lot of stunned, blinking, eye-rubbing people wondering how on earth their up-until-now protective rock has been lifted.

A big thank you to all the rock-lifters around the world!

It appears to state Staff Writer again and from the link:

NOTE: This article is currently being shared online (04/10/2022) due to revelations relating to the guest author from a number of years after this article’s publication. For the most recent news story please click here

UPDATE: There have been a number of false claims relating to this article circulated online including that Mr Breslow was an employee of PinkNews at the time. He was not an employee of PinkNews, this article was provided for free by the Point Foundation, where he was a scholar. You can view the original article as it was published here on Archive.org.

Eurgh. Revelations? False claims? He was a scholar was he? Meh. I cannot believe the trajectory of his 'Gender studies' and that he's got a pointless PhD and successful career in this bollix. He has the veneer of authority but it's being authoritative about nonsense and shouldn’t have the legitimacy it's been accorded. I saw words like 'reify' sprinkled in something he'd written and that confirmed it's all cotton wool nonsense with the scrabble gender terms thrown in. He's big into 'anti-racist' theory too. Why of course.

Keep posting, please keep posting!

So they changed this and it was a retrospective demotion and distancing after 15 years and timeshift back to 2007 to fiddle with the record, reality and facts. My my. I wonder if they have one member of staff/agency/guest/volunteer/younger brother they've bribed to make updates/edits/flagrant rewriting of their own actions and 'reporting' or a whole bunch have been tasked to invisibilise, tweak and sanitise all mention of JACOB BRESLOW.

If JACOB BRESLOW was influencing 10 year olds in schools back in 2007, they would be about 25 now and themselves working in schools, be early-mid career 'academics', be in the NHS, police, law, charities, media, civil service and 'advising' MPs. Gulp.

Like those working as media / social network staff at the Royal Academy that cancelled textile and embroidery artist Jess de Wahls’ work in the RA Shop last year because a careful, considered article she wrote two years before that expressed gender critical views. Brought to the attention of the self-ID guardians and anti-gender-critical SWAT teams thought police by approx 8 people that had discovered her article and of course it made them feel terribly unsafe. Even though a few of them lived in Hong Kong. Or Singapore, apologies, can’t remember. But it was a fair distance away. Given these trans thugs / freedom of thought bullies are so efficient and so busy trawling the Internet for anything that triggers their ‘vulnerability’ and ‘fear’ of gender critical views, how is it that their counterparts at their temples of worship like Mermaids and PN seem unable to discover what is easy to discover about Jacob Cum-On-A-Child Breslow.

And!! How and why is he employed as a Professor at the LSE?? Don’t they do any safeguarding or scrutiny? Who’s running the temples of academe?

I can't answer for the U.K., but the government is deeply enmeshed in elite American universities. Where else can you get some dude to write a memo justifying torture? (Berkeley School of Law)

Now here's my question: Did Judith Butler come up with this crap all on her own? Or was she hired by someone in government to do so, with promises of tenure and six-figure pay?

The trans community love word spaghetti.

‘Minor-attracted’ for pedo, ‘cis woman’ for woman, ‘trans woman’ for man. Just as well we have inbuilt dictionaries that let us know it’s all bollocks.

After seeing that nausea-inducing quote from Breslow's book about 'cumming on or possibly even with a child' and 'cumming on a shoe', I read your post as 'The trans cummunity...'

Expand full comment

Every bit of his writing comes with a free antacid! It was vile. So children have as much agency as shoes and pieces of your clothing do they Jacob? Mere objects to satisfy your sexual urges and to cum over? It's hard to realise that man wrote that shite in a book. That takes some effort. And no one read that, sense checked it, no one. And LSE saw fit to employ him to teach students. He should be nowhere near them.

Better!

Yes. Except not even trans woman for man. It’s woman. Or so their mantra shrieks - TWAW. They get the actual word because they stole it. Or want to. We get the prefix ‘cis’! No chance!

That Father Ted reference is hilarious.

I hope employers are waking up to the fact the Q in the workplace diversity alphabet soup appears to include this illegal characteristic. Intend to listen to Barrie’s video from yesterday a second time. Anything to do with Judith Butler is hard to take in even when simplified by Barrie. Impossible to say now that it is just b*ll*cks - incredibly dangerous people involved. They all need locking up

If you've not before, check out New Discourses and James Lindsay. It's very heavy going like you say, but he returns and returns again to take small chunks in his podcasts which are shorter bullets or longer deep dives, so it's not such a rough ride plummeting into this hellscape. It builds up so references and terminology make sense. Available on YT and SoundCloud. Maybe pick one, then if it suits work your way through them.

So neither Mermaids of Pink News knew nothing about his thoughts regardingpaedophiles? Allllllrighty then!!

“Mermaids being responsible”

The extremists now chucking each other under the gender identity bandwagon.

Expand full comment

I read it as PN claiming it's 'Mermaids being responsible' as in for taking responsibility and doing the right thing. Not as in, being responsible for yet another giant f**k up.

Pink News is like a flyer of some woke student club.

The wheels have been coming off the gender bus for a long time. Could this finally be the final screech to an end? And guess who'll be around to clean up all the damage caused, mainly to children. Some things are unforgivable.

What is troubling is they are removing and deleting all references to anyone and any of this as fast as we are screenshotting and downloading. This is often 'the' record and many archives now lazily rely on and assume the 'online record' is enough and links will stay live.

It's conceivable there will be those in their late teens, twenties and thirties appearing at GPs in a decade with mysterious missing organs, mobility issues, hair growth or loss, severe and enduring mental health presentations and fertility issues. All unknown cause. Idiopathic.

Unless by then we're all in the streets, workplaces and every home writhing around in plastic, dayglo, bewigged, pornified, flammable storytelling outfits getting passers-by to send wireless digital tokens to our crotches. I hope not.

Once it is on the intersnake, it is there forever. Someone somewhere will find it. That is one of the reasons some people are back pedalling as fast as they possibly can. But it won't work...

What concerns me is the use of the word gay when describing himself...so much damage being done to the gay community. They fought that damaging label for years and now it's being used as the final damage they can inflict against the same sex attracted folk as they writhe in what is, hopefully, their pedo death throes!!

Expand full comment

Exactly what I thought. It is very upsetting, and it has everything to do with social acceptance of gay men going the wrong direction.

Lisa Muggeridge, former social worker, like most of us, was on this years ago.

Forensic, incisive, compassionate.

Can you imagine HQ at Mermaids and Pinky…sweating and shredding, but too late mates you’re busted.

Would be interesting to know who was at JB's Zoom book launch in 2021, none of whom expressed any concerns

Heroically I have attached his piece for pink new in their Facebook comments section. It will probably get deleted I get the feeling there are a lot of people running about like headless chickens attempting some damage limitation
