Awwww, they're sold out! Just watched the Mess w/Jo Bartosch. I agree w/you, Graham, the Translets are behind the Joe Rogan storm. They wait for an opportunity to jump on sth that doesn't directly involve the Church of Trans, and Rogan was being punished for giving critics of their religion a voice. Exulansic was shut down only a few days after that, and I'm sure they've been waiting for a long time for the right opportunity to pull the plug on her. I think they know the walls are cracking in their church, so they respond w/vengeance.
The Truth Fairy is coming - and I hope she'll make it to the US. This is from a letter signed by 50+ French legal, medical (and all kinds) professionals & academics (yes, really!) in the French L/of/ctr weekly L'Express. Predictably, only European Conservative reported about it: "It is urgent to inform all citizens about what could well appear tomorrow as one of the greatest health and ethical scandals, which we would have watched without saying a word: the commodification of children’s bodies."
You guys were talking about anorexia also... Here is an interesting documentary (that has also been "banned" by the @YouTube Translets) that you definitely want to watch, looking at trans ideology with a historical perspective. It's on odysee (exulansic is there also, go & follow her).
This comment is too long, but also: Swedish National TV documentary re Pblockers/hormones. The kid in the documentary is 15; he has trouble standing for more than 15-20 min, has terrible pain and walks like a geriatric patient because he has osteroporosis, and he is much, much shorter than his peers, because the Pblockers/hormones prevent the skeleton from mineralizing, so he won't grow more. Ever. Some kids have liver damage. It is a horror story of epic proportions. The film has English subtitles https://www.svtplay.se/video/33358590/uppdrag-granskning/mission-investigate-trans-children-avsnitt-1
I just lost my best friend (a former Dem politician) of 20+ years over this. She thinks I'm a nazi&Trumploving maniac. I sent her exactly the same stuff I mentioned above, and she told me not to send her any more "screed." The Swedish Nat. TV = "screed". That's quite a stretch. You have to be a born-again member in the Trans Church to call the Swedish Nat.TV - or L'Express - "screed." Made me realize how deep on the TransSword the Dems are. I'm telling her about medical experimentations & mutilations on children, and she tells me I'm a lunatic. A normal, non-cult person would say, "what? That's horrible, tell me more"
I had similar problem with Etsy. They happily sell “F*c* JK Rowling” merch, but banned a feminist from selling her lovely and inoffensive art works. I complained. They ignored me. So now I am boycotting them. Pity as I liked shopping there but this kind of hypocrisy is not acceptable.
Do you have an other place to shop? I'm looking for new plateform and place to shop and sale without being punish because I advocate for women's right...
I was ban from Twitter but I don't want to get it back. I'm on Spinster and Gettr.
YouTube get on my nerve (they banned so much of us) so I'm trying Odyssee...
Not so bloody "awesome" by dropping her in the shit before Xmas. How was she supposed to find an alternative supplier in that timeframe? "Arsehole Merchandise" would be a better name. Or "Awesome Missogynists"
How dare they decide what should and shouldn't be printed. Though I guess they are using the bakers in the "gay cake" case (I think they won on appeal?) to justify it. Ironic.
What a bunch of wankers they are Birdy. I have bought several of your pictures over the last few years. I have Magdelen Berns "I'd rather be rude than a fucking liar' right in my eyeline as I type. It always cheers me up. Thank you for your part in this women's fight
I know she has given the printers name in email updates as this situation unfolded. But now that I see the other content they print with no qualms, it makes me think people should flood them with statements about all the content they print that is easily deemed offensive or hateful, and also send requests for quotes to print an array of things that fits in with that theme. Even just to get quotes. And then demand answers for why strong women who campaign for women’s rights is offensive.
I am excited that someday soon (maybe by march!) I will finally have my calendar. Glad to be supporting a woman who is making waves simply by celebrating women. It illustrates how easy it will be to get under the skin of these TRAs.
Thanks for this piece... It's really important to shine a light on this stuff. And I really appreciate you confirming the business name at the end of the post, Glinner.... I have previously used that company and will now take my custom elsewhere.
My calendar arrived this morning. It is brilliant! It is in pride of place on a wall in my kitchen and I am looking forward to it sparking many interesting conversations.
Wonder if its just one TRA/MRA employee or the whole business is radicalised? They also canceled KJKs whole account because of her terrible "principles"
We got it! The company is being disingenuous and as such should be publicly challenged. As Birdy says in the article, if it is down to the discretion of individual employees what will be printed, they need to state that in all their publicity and prominently on their website so potential customers will pick a printing company that does what it says on the tin, print customers' product, which is what they take the money for. Maybe trading standards would like to know what this company is up to as well. And are there not programmes on the BBC about companies like this. Newspapers such as the Mail on Sunday and the Sunday Post. They stopped you carrying out your business, time yo stop them?
My local Independent bookshop has (I am pretty sure) an employee who has been hiding Trans by Helen Joyce and Julie Bindel's book. I go in there every week and fish them out from behind the other books, where they've been hidden. Never buy anything in there. They don't seem to be in the business of selling bestselling books by women.
Oh it's a small thing, but it gives me pleasure. A bit of a game. I used to spend a fortune there - many of my Christmas presents, and others besides. But they don't want this Adult Human Female's money, so sod 'em.
Yeah, me too - I went right there. Perhaps the response was so quick, we missed our chance. :-( If they're all sold out, I would love it if the calendar's contents were posted (small images with watermarks, perhaps, so as to protect the artist from people trying to use them).
Hey Graham - it looks like you adjusted the settings so now we don't see summaries of each post on this page, but the whole articles in reverse chronological order. Is this what you wanted, or did you still want summaries? I find that's easier to peruse, though perhaps substack changed what's possible. I'm still using the "Archive" page to quickly see what's available.
I must stop posting so fast. Now everyone who got the email doesn't have the info that it's written by Birdy and not me
I understood that.
Worked it out fairly quickly, it's clear and concise :p

That is vile. Selling misogynistic, incitement to violence for profit whilst shutting women up. I boycott them too.
Do you have an other place to shop? I'm looking for new plateform and place to shop and sale without being punish because I advocate for women's right...
I was ban from Twitter but I don't want to get it back. I'm on Spinster and Gettr.
YouTube get on my nerve (they banned so much of us) so I'm trying Odyssee...
But to shop... I'm still on Amazon 🤔🤔
Sorry, no. I just google what I’m looking for now, and buy direct from the seller.
Not so bloody "awesome" by dropping her in the shit before Xmas. How was she supposed to find an alternative supplier in that timeframe? "Arsehole Merchandise" would be a better name. Or "Awesome Missogynists"
Or, omitting both their titles, Arsehole Misogynists. It's what they seem to be.
Didn't Kellie Jay Keen have issues with this same company? I'm sure they cancelled her merch too.
How dare they decide what should and shouldn't be printed. Though I guess they are using the bakers in the "gay cake" case (I think they won on appeal?) to justify it. Ironic.

Magdalen Berns is amazing! Of course. RIP
Don't make it a one time thing. Gender critical new years eve should be January 31st every year. It's not like misogyny will disappear any time.
I like that idea!!

As if we didn’t already know…
Agreed, I personally find the stuff pictured with F*** this and that, pretty offensive.

Was it not Awesome that caused Kellie Jay problems as well ?! The name sounds very familiar
Yep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpmR68dUVRc
Yep, same company.

That's a pathetic thing to do. I'm glad you fish them out again
Oh it's a small thing, but it gives me pleasure. A bit of a game. I used to spend a fortune there - many of my Christmas presents, and others besides. But they don't want this Adult Human Female's money, so sod 'em.
Cool, happiness is in the little things. I've had a cold all week I'm mega grumpy - blah. Thinking about it, they don't deserve your money 💸💸💸
Blimey that's a bit pot and kettle from this company..woketurds every one of them
Perhaps it is past time for women to start their own printing companies? And to refuse to print anything in the least misogynistic!
Brilliant idea. I think we should start our own everything! :)
We're having a similar problem trying to get some leaflets ojecting Drag Queen Story Time printed. It's seriously disturbing.
What??? That is completely topsy-turvy.
I'm getting 'sold out' on the link....
Yeah, me too - I went right there. Perhaps the response was so quick, we missed our chance. :-( If they're all sold out, I would love it if the calendar's contents were posted (small images with watermarks, perhaps, so as to protect the artist from people trying to use them).
Me too :( Good for Birdy, though.

It is 22.29 and I have missed the last 50 copies.
Birdie: if it is possible, can you please print a few/ LOTS more? I would still like a copy £16.00 plus postage is fine. Thank you.
