Trans people who don't hate women, an incomplete list
Apologies if I've forgotten anyone! Let me know and I'll add you!
We’re all too familiar with the ‘Lisa’ T Mullinses of the world…‘Katy’ Montgomery, ‘Stephanie’ Hayden, that philosophy tube chancer…the men who have glommed on to trans rights as a way of indulging their cruelty, their narcissism or their greed. Such figures are, as the final commentator in the above thread so skilfully points out, only the latest beneficiaries of the privilege that comes directly from being a white male.
But there are many others who reject the misogyny and insanity of mainstream trans rights activism. Some are well known and targeted heavily as a result. Debbie Hayton is caught between two groups of very angry people; one that has much cause to be angry (women) and one that has none (white males).
Debbie bears that pressure with dignity while reporting fairly on the debate around sex and gender. That is far more than you can say for the likes of The Independent’s ‘Gemma’ Stone, or whoever’s writing those Wi Spa stories that have turned The Guardian into Infowars (their latest brain fart is quite something--you’d think they’d be keeping their heads down!).
Fionne Orlander continues to present as a fairy tale princess while robustly defending women’s boundaries. Fionne’s currently locked down because of abuse from straight white males like Lennart The Lad.
Scott Newgent (banned from Twitter) revealed something personal and terrible about himself recently, his arm, after a phalloplasty procedure. Trans rights activists responded with laughter emojis.
And then of course, there’s Miranda Yardley, also banned from Twitter, gender heretic whose greatest moment was perhaps when she made a fool of one of the craziest Munchausen Mums of Mermaids, Helen Islan.
Seven Hex, owner of a great punk name and friend to Marion Millar and myself.
There are many GC trans people. They are called ‘bootlickers’ and ‘truscum’ by trans rights activists. Twitter chucks them from the premises with the same enthusiasm they reserve for silencing women and protecting pronoun wankers. So please enjoy this list of trans allies, male and female, while you still can.

Left Twitter on own volition because it’s such a cesspit. Brilliant, warm, funny.

There’s even more behind this link. A huge long list of people who would make Owen Jones cower behind a bush if he saw them coming down the street.
So yeah, please remember, when all this Queer Theory shite is flushed down the memory hole, there were many trans people who stood beside women and said no.
Graham, the quantity and quality of the research and writing you do is prodigious.
Thank you so much for leading this effort. Sometimes, it seems like you’re pounding most of the nails in this insanity’s coffin.
Wonderful collection, Graham! Thank you for confirming what most of us here have always known, namely that it is the Gender Identity Cult that is the problem, not ordinary, sane trans people such as those highlighted here.
