Ian spoke nothing but the truth, ireland is as usual going overboard in its hatred and abuse of women and children. I abhor this government and every one in the Dail bubble who are ignoring safety issues and allowing a mens rights movement control, different frock same abusive men. Shame on this government
Freedom of speech is the key to this fight and the reason the other side is so keen to shut down all speech, is because they have absolutely no arguments, no truth, no reality, no reason, no sanity and certainly no kindness. We must keep trying to get them to open their mouths so that the uninitiated can hear the drivel they spout.
I kept wondering why every time I tried to listen to current popular music, the voices all sounded the same. And then Whitney Webb wrote about Lew Wasserman, the man behind MCA with lots of unsavory connections. Most of the "music" we hear today that is not completely independent is manufactured by the current crop of Wassermans.
This is typical of abusive men - its so common it has an acroynm - DARVO - Deny abuse, Attack the victim to Reverse Victim and Offender. Be kind is the demand that positions women's and children's safeguarding from male violence as 'unkind'. This is devious patriarchy ... as gender always is.
Same thing happened to me: I was half of a synth duo called Astronaut Preacher when the lead singer suddenly informs me she was born "intersex", had corrective surgery she didn't find out about until much later, ergo trans.
Then someone showed her my Substack where I have told no lies.
I'm Scottish and I feel your pain. Same things happening here. These people are quite deranged, and utterly cruel and sadistic with it. Most of our youth is on board with this nonsense. Everything nowadays is child-led and child-centred - a narcissist's paradise. I recall when I was a teenager (many moons ago) and, boy, did I make some spectacularly wrong decisions that make me cringe now in deep shame, but never, ever as bad as this. Probably because I was taught, and brought up, to think for myself, as most of us were then. Some youth are not buying into it, though. I feel so sorry for this lovely man. He won't believe it now, but he is actually better off without idiots like those around him. He will find his own feet. I hope that JKR sees fit to help him out here. She's a shero for Scottish women and girls, and men and boys who stand up to this rubbish (although I appreciate she can't help everybody): men's sexual rights activists and proponents and ultra wealthy American billionaires who have dollars stuffed in their brainboxes where their brain should be, and in other places which are unmentionable. I'm told on good authority that stuffing 100 dollar bills up your nethers is one of a million fetishes. Nah, I didn't believe it either...
There are thousands of gender critical feminists who still cannot get back their Twitter accounts. And let's face it. Twitter is now THE public square. It seems to me that the very many & abrupt refusals to re-instate my account is proof indeed that a gaggle of 'trans' extremist moderators are still in Twitter's midst. Anti-debate, anti-free thought, knee jerk defensive about their shaky beliefs, and most importantly -- unable to discern the difference between 'hatred' and robust discourse. I am saving all my appeals for future reference -- and it does not look good for Twitter. I'm sure the new owner would re-instate our accounts immediately if we could actually appeal directly to him.

Wild Youth look like the most banal, establishment, boring bunch of pricks since U2. When I first saw them I thought it WAS them and the adrenochrome conspiracy nonsense was real. The sort of music you get on car adverts.
Irish politicians tying themselves up in knots to accommodate TIMs but still can't manage to make abortion accessible to women who need it. Same old sh*te.
Dr. Ray Blanchard, world renowned "expert" on men who ideate a female persona, said this 20 years ago in The Atlantic, a monthly publication in the US. The article was about a cross-dressing cruise, and of course, the beleaguered wives had no voice. I'm sure this article was suggestively "naughty" and "ground-breaking" for the time. I really wish that famous interview with Blanchard had included reading his own words back to him and a request for an explanation as to how it is justified that these men put their wives through hell. And then want to be called "Mum."
"Cross-dressers' desires do not map onto anything in our world," Ray Blanchard says. "You will never know how they feel if you are not one of them. And they have to disconnect between reality and their fantasy. Otherwise their desires are too disruptive. It's too disruptive to acknowledge that you wish your penis was part of your wife's body and not yours. It's too disruptive to acknowledge that this is a sexual compulsion."
wow. that's powerful stuff. twenty years ago it was painted as the forbidden. now these brave men are supposed to be women. so little time. so much madness.
Thanks Glinner excellent piece by the Countess. Met a Countess supporter at LWS yesterday. Need to watch out for proposals to amend what the Irish constitution says about women.
Did post on the excellent LWS event last night and it was great to meet you there 😎
Actually in Scotland amongst normal people clowns are thin on the ground. As Graham frequently points out this is a privileged, studenty piece of nonsense which has grown arms and legs as they are indulged. My grandkids are between 15 and 21 and their friends are all refreshingly normal with very little angst and none at all about questioning their sex. Scotland is in the fight but it really is a small proportion of the whole.

I’m reminded of a poem that was written when the Russians invaded Czechoslovakia.
The ogre does what ogres can
Deeds quite impossible for man
But one prize is beyond his reach
The ogre cannot master speech
Across a subjugated plain
Among the desperate and slain
The ogre strolls with hands on hips
While drivel gushes from his lips.
I should have given credit to WH Auden, one of my favourite poets.
I like that Terfin.
What a great poem
Thanks TT
Dusty
This seems an incredibly apt poem for the U.S.
this whole thing sickens me. it really does. there is no such thing as trans. because there is no such thing as transitioning from one sex to another.
Ireland has a new priest class that cannot be criticized? Noooooooooo this never happens
Wild youth my arse. All these nobheads lining up to conform. Pathetic
Yes, they believe they are soooooo... different and special. Nah, just automatons without wrinkles.
i actually think i’m cooler than them
You are cooler than them
thanks, at last i am on some level… cool. although the bar was pretty low tonight set by team big pharma aka youth whats their name
Youth is pushing it too.
Anyone stepping out of line would be reviled and condemned as a bigot and transphobe
I always thought that boy bands were dim and ignorant, but this is a new low. I wonder who is the "puppetmaster" behind these idiots?
Simon Cowell is believable for the role of Satan incarnate

That partnership dissolved quite quickly.

"Intersex" doesn't mean "trans". Even "intersex" people are either male or female: but with developmental oddities.
I know, but she's convinced it "intersects" with being trans.
A lot of transactivists seem to believe that "intersex" and "trans" are synonymous. They seem to be very badly informed about biology.
Indeed.

That's 'cause the same factory is churning out crap like Wild Youth and the car adverts!

Excellent post by the Countess. I will re-post.
Look out for the proposals to amend the constitution!!
