I’m obviously not on Twitter to defend myself, but I did not ‘instigate a pile on’. I pointed out that Grace was worried about parents listening in on Zoom calls during which he was teaching Queer Theory. I was pointing out how much Queer theory had to do with blurring boundaries and paedophilia so I said “This is grooming”, which I still believe it is. I deleted it only because of our friendship, which I now realise was unrequited. Kathleen is yet another person to whom I have given nothing except my unconditional support, and now that ‘Grace’ and his ‘husband’ have come for her, she’s still happy to throw me under the bus.
Thanks a lot, Kathleen.
I know it's painful when this happens. But I am so sick of people who I have never criticised in any way painting my actions in the worst possible light. I won't fucking stand for it anymore. You saw what I found in my letterbox today. By saying I 'instigated a pile on' rather than, say, 'responded to something in an unhelpful way', she adds to the picture that has been succesfully painted of me by trans rights activists and by fucking woke media right up to Newsnight (which, remember, also went for Suzanne Moore in much the same way) and 90% of the people who are not paying attention to this issue know only that there is a stink around me. A stink caused by trans rights activists and their unconscious accomplices.
And to again remind everyone, I'm not pulling the 'grooming' thing out of nowhere.
Queer theory, which has absolutely taken over our institutions, including institutions like the NSPCC and Girlguiding, institutions which are supposed to be protecting and empowering children and young girls, are following the half-understood, constantly shifting dictates of Judith Butler, and the rest of those fucking thought-hippies who believe that imagining a perfect world is the same thing as bringing one about.
There is no such thing as a perfect world for everyone. Because a perfect world for paedophiles is not a perfect world for children. By blurring boundaries and confusing ordinary people who want to do the right thing, the implementation of Queer Theory across society makes it harder to recognise and combat very real threats to women and children. This is out in the real world right now causing havoc. Children are being affected by it. And I don't care how many great insights Faocault had, his antecedents are a bunch of fucking nonce-enablers.
So yes, I’m angry about this. It’s like being back at school, and the same rules apply: don’t necessarily try to make friends with the first few people you meet.

Oh FFS this is totally unnecessary and so very unfair. Why drag this up from ages ago? She had an issue with your comment, you deleted it. (I've always greatly admired the way you will listen and defer to someone else's point of view. Whereas I'd be inclined to go with "Fuck off, I wrote Father Ted!" you always have the grace and integrity to alter your position and respect the opinion of others.) I hope you know how many of us are truly grateful to you for amplifying our voices and fighting our corner. You could have kept quiet, left us to it, and had an easy when things got difficult. But you didn't. Your courage and selflessness are so very much admired and respected.
