I worked at a suicide hotline as a teenager. I had guys wanting me to describe exactly how it felt to wear pantyhose or a girdle...had never worn either...was told then “you aren’t a real girl” click....This has been going on a very long time. Only now, the fetishists demand we agree they are the “real girls” That’s a big leftist nope from me.

So basically, women are now expected to be the new ‘Brenda Volunteers’ there to accommodate and validate men with mental health problems.

More than half of all documented serial killers in the United States fall under the "trans" umbrella. Mostly transvestites.

One reason why trans activists are so desperate to "transition" girls is to hide the fact that it's grown men who have fetishes who are at the very forefront of this movement, even if it is backed by some idiotic "be kind" Brenda types.

Absolutely spot on, Bee Cat. I listened to a transsexual (full surgery) who claimed that he knew he was in the wrong body from the age of two. This is why they want children to be mutilated in the name of 'trans' - validation. If they can point to youngsters, they believe this validates their own 'transition' which is actually either a paraphilia or a fetish or both.

This - and I marvel at how anyone refuses to see this and the timeline. How it was often (and still is) 40/50/60 year old married man with children who retrospectively recast and retold their magical 'story' so then want to completely screw up the lives of those two year olds as that's the age they 'realised'. Then point to those two year olds as 'proof'. They've been given the organisational structures to now do so. Proof of how so many men are narcissists, view others as mere props and have no conscience about those they damage? All in the service of their own desires, and sexual desires, that they dress up now as human rights. And it's their 'human right' to force women, children and the whole of society to allow this and the erosion of all our human rights.

These latest iterations of trans activism have influenced wider and wider and younger and younger men and women, and all those 'influencers' now in their late twenties and thirties, who have dedicated their lives to this 'fight' who never got to the partner or kids stage. Oh that's ok, now you can buy those too. By drawing in the LGB to their 'Q' they've drawn in all those gay and lesbian teens and adults. It was an easy step for them to then convince many others that children under that age needed to be 'transed' before their puberty and they developed their external and physical sex characteristics. And their brains and bones. All in the service of validating men with mental health conditions. And no one is allowed to ask or define what 'Q' is as it's everything now, it's totally meaningless. Anyone and anything can mean Queer. Most of all straight men. Who pretend black 'trans women' are who we all owe our rights to as they rewrite history again.

That small, powerful and hugely influential group of fetishistic men and oddly enough a lot of lawyers who got guidelines, medical policy and our laws changed all over the world. And they are still at it, having 'influenced' even the naive White House that this is Civil Rights 2.0. Surgery got more sophisticated, tech allowed the explosion of porn to infiltrate everywhere, with the growth of forums and hidden little places to spring up dedicated to expressing and encouraging anything anyone could dream up. Commodify anything, everything and everyone. Then we put all that in smartphones in kids' pockets.

The kids also lack meaning in their lives and are envious of their parents and previous generations for having found meaning in protest and human rights campaigns from the 1960s to now. They think trans is their generation's mark on the world, when in reality they are just being exploited. I don't envy them when they grow up and come to realise that.

Yes. The Western post war settlement expectation of stability is now being genuinely challenged for those that had it (many never had it) - education leaves young people without clear career paths or jobs and a means to support themselves, unable to afford homes or to be stable enough to have families if they want. Hard work still means poverty and instability. All sense of community in many places is under challenge. Life expectancy is falling, the distribution of wealth is cleaving apart and health inequalities are rising. The ages generations do things are now in flux. Many now express the desire not to have children as the world is too unsafe and we're destroying it. This 'transing' everything that isn't nailed down has popped up and I'm sure is a way to feel something and a shared sense of something with others in all that unknown.

Every word of this. Every word. They “come out” after professional lives and money to back their fetish fest and a billion can influence culture.

Just remembered Silence of the Lambs. These days Clarice Starling would be arrested and charged with a hate crime for harassing the poor misunderstood cross dressing (in a very macabre way) psychopath Jaime Gumm. He just wanted to be a woman for goodness sake. Where’s the harm in that? 🤦🏻

Did anyone watch the Wayne Couzens documentary the other night? He was/is a fetishist. This is what so many people just do not get. These guys can stick there or they can go on to escalate. I am heartily sick of finding out after the crime that this or that chap was just flashing or watching girls or whatever. For donkeys' years now the FBI have profiled these men as potentially dangerous. Nah, nah, they have to actually kill one of us in the worst possible way and devastate an entire family forever before they are stopped. Many will not be dangerous and probably are just lonely men, but too many go on to rape and kill for us ever to allow them into our spaces willingly. Just as they try to browbeat us into accepting them as 'real' 'women', so the authorities try to browbeat us into accepting them in our spaces. Go forth and multiply!

Well over 25 years ago I reported an exposer ( who I chased after with my three dogs,boy did he shift). The police who came out said the last one reported had gone on to rape a woman.This has all been known.

Expand full comment

Yes, they know perfectly well what we are dealing with here. Just yesterday, everyone knew that a cross-dresser/transvestite did it for sexual thrills. Today, we all have to bend the knee to perversions that might or might not be dangerous, so why the hell are we even considering letting males into female spaces. Listened to that awful barrister chap, Robin Moira White. He breaches the 2010 Equality Act every day by entering female loos and changing rooms - and he will know that - but half the thrill is in making females feel uncomfortable. He had the nerve to say that none of the women protested. No,, they are terrified by your squadrons of insane activists. A man of the law, indeed! On another programme, he sat all the time with his legs wide open, wearing a short skirt, probably trying to intimidate the TERF opposite who had the better of him. Yeah, like women and girls do this all the time, Robin. Ugh!

Expand full comment

Ah, somatic Robin. The rule now apparently for who can sit like that? A man in a dress like Robin who pretends he is a woman, or women in porn. The rest of us have been taught, shamed and humiliated into not doing so as the condemnation will be enormous and usefully for them we have an inner shame inculcated in many of us. Or are doing so for money. The fact he does it shows just how much he doesn't care or would even consider what to be a woman entails. His entire career now seems to be based around the discrimination men feel when we don't let them get their own way all the time.

Nice to see Robin in action:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/aug/05/suella-bravermans-woke-hr-attorney-general-whitehall-diversity-training

“The attorney general wants to scrap Whitehall diversity training. It could mean a host of new lawsuits that the government would lose"

Got the legal side covered have you? Well that’s what the new post of “discrimination lawyer” was intended for. And – whisper it! – this was a post manufactured by the very government you are gleefully “threatening”.

And Robin is sticking it to Boris and Liz Truss to puncture their “pandering to the Tory party membership and fanning the flames of a culture war”.

Then a revealing bit:

“As a discrimination barrister, I know how reckless and dangerous scrapping diversity advisers would be.”

Yes indeed, you might send the goons round, eh Robin! And there’s nothing like making them that offer they can’t refuse:

“the first question I ask managers is: what equality training have you had? When the answer is “none”, managers are immediately put on the back foot in a tribunal. They may never recover.”

Know what I mean?

“A lack of diversity training can have dire legal consequences.”

Gotcha loud and clear Robin my man – oops didn’t mean to call you that. Please spare me the visit in the night!

“Braverman and Truss may be unwittingly opening the door to a host of new lawsuits in which government departments will be more likely to lose.”

(Just so long as you don’t let on that it’s the government itself that’s “threatening” the government!)

“Try a little self-test. How many of the nine characteristics protected in the Equality Act 2010 can you name?”

But you seem to be taking a bit too long to answer. Is that sweat I see?

“We may hope that after the leadership race is settled, a more sensible approach will prevail – or at least that in the inevitable reshuffle, we get a new attorney general who values and understands the law.”

And if you don’t .... well attorney generals are “expendable”.

My aunty was flashed while walking the dog when she was 14. Josie was a very friendly dog, and went straight for his crotch, as dogs do. He obviously wasn’t expecting that and went running off, with my aunty laughing away behind him.

I was furious but the dogs thought it was a game .To be honest if he had tripped and fallen I might well have kicked him. I'd still like to kick him.Haha.Why on earth we should extend sympathy to nasty gits like that is beyond me.

Yes but then you’d have needed to disinfect your shoe. I had a friend in my teens whose Dad was named and shamed in the local newspaper for obscene phone calls and flashing people at a local park in the evenings. I felt so sorry for him (my friend) because everyone would’ve known and boys can be a bit cruel.

It was a surprise, because his Dad was a very quiet nondescript sort of man. Never spoke to any of us. He had a wife. They both looked miserable to me. I thought it was because they were dirt poor.

The police should recognise this pattern too. Instead they are arresting women for "hate speech", filming themselves doing the Macarena at Pride and waving the trans flag with great enthusiasm and at public expense

Expand full comment

Oh they know. Just because they find it hard to suddenly remember how to record anything accurately doesn't mean they aren't aware. They seem to have stopped doing all that arresting women for 'hate speech' so much? I wonder if they have or that reports haven't filtered through. And I wonder if it was a deliberate decision to stop - after all they were told repeatedly and received a few letters telling them that they themselves were acting outside the law and to stop it. Oh, and all those judgments telling them to stop.

Bloody hell. That sneery sounding bullying 'teacher' is interrogating them. I couldn't listen to it all. She gaslights those girls. These idiotic phrases will stick in my head:

'Where did you get this idea from that there are only two genders?'

Then she tells them 'it's not an opinion'. Wait so is it fact then?

THEN she claims in her rebuttal list of made up nonsense 'there is agender...' and then with a real dose of Stonewallese 'but cisgender is not necessarily the way to be'. Oh no, because we can all choose to live in the new reality we want now. Well that cleared that one up. I stopped listening at that point. It's too, too mad.

What the hell have we done to our schools? How is that woman in post? And this is happening all over the UK.

And we having decent teachers killing themselves with stress and in their attempts to do right by kids. And leaving and not joining the profession. Then we have this. I cannot stand up for that woman's 'right' to do what she was doing. She shouldn't be teaching. The gall to do it! And this is only coming to light through children recording them at it. A 'teacher' thinking they have to right to squash critical faculties not encourage them. Whenever we hear recordings like this the adults sound zealous and usually refer to having been bullied at school themselves, then take this opportunity to get their own back and bully the children in their class as there's no one around to stand up against it.

Teachers can destroy or make you and influence the whole of your life and how you approach learning and failure as curiosity and the learning process is often hammered out of us. I wonder which one this is? She's a prat. I find so many things about gender ideology are depressing, but it's the amount of the really intellectually challenged in positions of authority in hospitals and schools that makes me weep.

It appears now that everything - literally everything - is sexual, or was it always like this.? I understand that puberty and sex drive for lads is pretty powerful. I understand that sex crimes and lads trying it on have been with us forever. Now, though, there is an element of compulsion about all of this, as if you dare not say no to anything - anything at all - and it encompasses all of us.

Every paraphilia, fetish must be catered for and lauded as if it is healthy. People can dress how they please, present however they want, but I draw the line at validating any of it. Just stay out of our spaces, our sports, our employment opportunities, our rights, 'trans', because if you don't, we are heading for an almighty showdown, and women will not lose, I promise you. Mother Nature cannot let females disappear, that will not let that happen.

Too many of these people think they are God, omnipotent. If he was/is anything like them, he would have been too busy dressing up in female clothes to even make the Earth in six days. Always thought Adam blamed Eve for his seduction by the snake, not the other way round. She was condemned to bear children and suffer the pains of childbirth, the Bible says. Now, they want to take that from us (cos they're better 'women' than we are) and have it for themselves because it's literally creationist and suffering at one and the same time, and we know that so many of these men like female suffering and pain, and like to inflict it on us, while grudging us biological femaleness. You couldn't make it up, really, and they say we are the illogical, irrational ones.

It was always relatively contained and private before and we weren't in a position to broadcast it so successfully. It's the holy trinity of monetisation, tech enablement, then the twisting of this to be some civil rights movement that's meant it's been so successful. Many are making money from the industry, the service, the product that this now is. All the bells and whistles (or removing your bells and whistles).

Yes, they've been told their compulsion is normal, natural and should dominate their whole life and our lives as some kind of calling, as not so many of them train to be in the church now. It is the new hierarchy, the new religious caste. It's all about images, about projection, about dogma, about influencing. And best of all, anyone can join in. Anyone can be a bit 'Queer' and buy a tee shirt, or get their tits cut off or take hormones to prove how special they are. And find an answer to this generalised distress so many seem to be in. Oh looky here! Someone created a product and a lifestyle and a new snakeish oil to cure that all.

It's about celebrating being in the club, and also those who are excluded, as they now have their own club of those who don't feel they belong. So we're screwed being in or out of the club, there's a way to pitch some grievance and some battle for your rights to everyone now, to fully live your inner advertisers' essence. Turn your distress into something useful for others. Who the hell isn't distressed watching all this unfold?

And yes, you've got it spot on, men have now rewritten the Bible again, that well known reliable text to be taken most literally like all other 'religious texts' to again suit them, in new and painful ways for us. Women are alien, or other or pure or to be protected or to be controlled, silenced, feared and despised as magical beings.

There are many lessons in religious texts that are built on beliefs about communities - the fair functioning of societies, charity, neighbourliness, sharing, caring for the sick and poor, doing as you would be done by and a sense of justice. None of this current trans activist madness seems to be about that, or it's been twisted to take that core and be the complete opposite but they try to convince us that it is progressive, right and good. That's why the Bidens have gone hook, line and sinker for it - it cleverly builds on their religious sense of righteousness and that's a formidable force to attempt to reason with.

When they are given the platform (or they bully, cheat and force their way on to it) they do this every single time. They are violent selfish attention seekers. All this shock horror from the adminstration won't wash. They rolled out the red carpet and the flags. It was entirely predictable that that group would stick two fingers up to normally expected behaviour. To grab attention, to attempt to shock. And to do what no one else would be allowed to do. No woman or man who isn't 'trans'. That's what is at the core of this. So boundary-breaking narcissists did something boundary breaking did they? Well I never. Who knew? Oh that would be us, who've been ignored and told to shut up. Dragging the reputation of the Office of the President through the mud, then stamping on it, then dragging it back in drag again.

All that should have been risk assessed as likely to happen. Why not? Oops 'trans joy' again folks. The excuse for everything. This is what is so chilling - they turn a blind eye as it's stamped 'trans' so it really is access all areas. What was nuclear luggage-stealing guy called again? What 'lessons' did they learn from Sam Fetish Brinton? Clearly none. Is anyone who isn't trans ever invited to the White House now?

This is what I really don't understand. Many of us who have worked with the public, or on phone lines, know exactly what this is about. Younger members of staff early in our careers (like me) were often exposed to these types of behaviours under the umbrella of 'dodgy' men and very sexualised behaviours in any customer facing or service role. We learned how to deal with them. Well, we had ways to deal with them, or sadly put up with them but there was an acknowledgment that it happened and it was often nipped in the bud by others. The police were very used to these same men. Something about being in a service role, in a shop, on the phone, in a uniform, or being a relatively anonymous member of staff online used to send many men nuts trying to work out what I looked like, purely from how my voice sounded. Why was it important to know what I looked like? To help their fantasy.

Now the regular pervs are the most vulnerable and protected and we're encouraging children to ape their behaviours, be abused and getting irreversible surgery to make some others very rich.

Just, wow. I'm hearing from former escorts and other trans widows that there's a great deal of drug use in this milieu, as well. Now that we have 3 big malpractice lawsuits going in the States (Chloe Cole, Layla Jane, Kayla Lovdahl) and we have Rose Montoyas demonstrating their perversities at the White House, perhaps sanity will slowly tick back. Perhaps the neuro-physio effects of crossdressing, misinterpreted as "true life test," will be examined by the doctors and therapists will be understood for what they are: placebo effect.

You have an evolved heuristic to recognize unfairness. You see Lia Thomas on the trophy stand and instinctively know it is wrong. To remember that saying "this is wrong" will get you cancelled for transphobia, you must expend 25 times the energy, and this cognition also takes much longer. We are all required to be mental athletes on behalf of Lia Thomas. We are all required to be Brenda Volunteers for him. We are actually told to "do the work" of getting over our hang-ups.

And the mental energy to fight off the constant excuses made by women such as Laurie Penny. As Laurie cautions us, corrects us, mimics and manufactures outrage then chastises any little girl in a spa who sees the penis shoved in her face because of that man's 'trans joy'. She made out it was the girl at the WiSpa who was in the wrong and the pervert. Then went off on some typically convoluted path ranting at others as to why. Total nonsense which slightly melts the synapses.

I had an unpleasant experience with the Samaritans a few years ago.
