She's ridiculous. Unfortunately, she's another trans-masc who thinks 'living as a man' requires aping some of the least desirable of superficial masc stereotypes, and externalising her internalised misogyny. I hope her partner is able to access support.
This is the ultimate act of women thinking that "liberation" means functioning as males do in a patriarchy and it's why I have ZERO respect for women who want to pretend they are men.
I doubt his partner, a trans identified male, needs his support, it was probably the other way round. It clearly it didn't happen, and this is the result.
Oh ok. I was under the impression Whittle was still with her lesbian (actual female) wife.
About a year or two ago, she was, and I remember feeling for how difficult it must be for lesbian trans widows, married or in otherwise deeply committed relationships, when their female partners decide to be "men".
(Not sure if there's organised support for lesbians going through this, although I can imagine such groups/networks would be wary of too much visibility..)
Maybe I'm wrong, it was something I read in an article about Whittle quite a while ago. If the information was wrong and his partner is female and they got together as part of a same sex relationship, them it must have been very distressing for her.
How would we know? This is why all reporting on this is so difficult. Men are referred to as women and women as men. The clues start to stack up when you see the couple had children by sperm donation and artificial insemination. They choose what they identify as, then insist on claiming all the functions and rights of whatever sex they choose and to be seen as they determine, not as they are. They bend everything to their will and no one or anything will stand in their way. Then you get into how some men 'perform female roles' or vice versa. All this is shot through with such astonishing gender stereotyping, misogyny and misandry.
Reading 'Stephen' Whittle's Wiki and I see 'he' was 'assigned female at birth'. Gosh, isn't biology all just some huge nasty conspiracy to stop these narcissists bending everything and everyone to their whims and will. Some things are viewed as odd mistakes the universe made, so they must be 'corrected'.
This small group of people with alternative views on reality have been allowed to become so powerful, and rewarded for their coercion of others. That's not about quietly living your life, it's activism to insist everyone else's lives are changed to conform to your will. It's extreme and authoritarian, all sweetly dressed up in the be nice rights movement.
I really thought we were getting somewhere with Musk allowing much more open debate and differing opinions. Let’s hope this is a short lived ban and someone gets a ticking off for being so stupid. I, for one, am finding it very difficult to cope without you on twitter Glinner. Hope all goes well in Belfast.
I reported three people yesterday for posting what I construed as threats of violence against you. Every time you tweet, I spend ages blocking those vile arseholes.
I am so sorry - it's alarming how obviously unhinged and violent people are being 'celebrated' and clapped and cheered when they do this. This is what is provoking and sustaining their campaigns. No one in authority is challenging this narrative, they're spinning it even further. All the recent attacks and violence at real life events (over years now) and then reporting of them have been met with 'support' from governments and their spokespeople for 'standing up for marginalised rights'. It's all so totally arse about face.
I’m sorry you have to suffer this rubbish that’s thrown at you Graham, and that your comparatively mild response has earned you a suspension (Americans don’t get our humour or sarcasm). I’m grateful you return to the fray but the main thing is to keep your sane head clear and we don’t want you damaged or our heroines that you march alongside: the TAs are vile.
Oh god, this is just mad (although we reached that stage ages ago). No room for irony or nuance on Twitter. Wishing everyone in Belfast today fine weather and more importantly, hope you all stay safe.
And all the ones who also cock their own heads to the side and indulgently smile and nod at how this sweet bunch are 'standing up for their rights' under 'sustained attack' from the right wing/bigots/nazis. All those who 'don't want to get involved' or ask 'what is going on here' when it's patently obvious what is going on.
They usually tell us and crow about it on Twitter. They are very proud about their authoritarian tactics. All this is happening in full view of us all.
Personally I keep clear of Twitter due to all the trans nutters. Some commentators keep referring to 'the toxic debate' but it's only toxic because of Stonewall and the anti-women activists ( aka TRAs) who are incapable of actually debating or discussing anything - in fact their technique ( see the Dentons advice) is 'no debate'. Dennis and Clive did excellent piece on latest Queens Speech about poor Henrietta, the disabled woman who was targeted but has bravely come back on Twitter I understand.
There have been some excellent pieces in the Times recently and my last two posts do a round up of them if anyone is interested. Thanks to my Terven friend who cuts out everything and posts it to me. Hope Belfast goes well - fingers crossed. I was gutted that Dublin was cancelled because was going to go there since have family in Dublin. Hope Dublin is scheduled again.
Keep on terfing all and hope you get back on Twitter soon, Graham
Just remember that all the hatred and bile they spit out as accusations of others is psychological projection: THEY are the "Nazis", THEY are the ones who want US dead ("KILL TERFS" "DECAPITATE TERFS") -- their excuse being that we want them dead.
It's gender cult phobia indoctrination, plus DARVO:
Interesting that you mention Times pieces. My commenting “privileges” were removed because of my comments about trans extremists and the criminal Katie Dowalaski, 6’ 4” male assaulting young girls in supermarket toilets being placed in a women’s prison. They won’t reinstate me so I have cancelled my subscription but such is the control of the Gen z moderators. The Times management, and Nike, Anheuser, Penguin are other examples, is completely under the control of the juniors.
Many GC people with skin in the game professionally or personally (me included, under another username) had to stop contributing to the Times BTL when they changed their policy last year to making everyone drop their usernames, requiring real, full names instead. But I don't remember people getting kicked off back then, and not for something like factual info about a criminal! What did happen was TAs flagging individual posts.
Major error by the Times. It used to be a key UK forum for properly informed people being able to get key information out and debated without risk of losing their job, etc. Now their journalism doesn't get level of the scrutiny and critique that it did, and BTL contributors with expertise but in risky positions have largely left, it seems. Not good.
I honestly thought that I wished I had written that myself!! Maybe you should contact Jenni Russell!! Also they frequently have editorials on our side of the argument!? Baffled.
The different parts of the current media machinery at work I think - different people at each stage, with some commissioning, others writing, others editing, others then managing the online bit, then those in control of the comments sections. The comments sections vacillate in what is 'acceptable' to whoever is moderating. It's happened in waves, then as others here have said, you can only now post under your own, real, name. And can be edited or banned in fairly draconian ways for supposed 'hate' which isn't but is labelled as that. So toe the party line or else, despite the article above the line being 'gender critical'.
Yes, thanks, that must be the answer. Totally bonkers!! Right hand and left hand stuff! Most articles on this issue in the Times are over our side of the debate (might need to re-phrase that since the other side don't really debate, of course!).
And that's just focusing on England or more English (often just London) based or focused. When I've asked people in Wales they've often immediately recoiled when I've mentioned the names of some 'news' purveyors. It's always good to hear from people here based in, from or living in particular places.
Local news can reveal what's actually going on - like blogs. Or utterly obscure it. Unfortunately local and court reporting has pretty much gone or all taken over by the same providers worldwide (so not properly locally owned and produced). Finding out where Lennon/Whatever Dolatowski's cases are heard is interesting and who picks up on where they're supposed to be listed or are moved to then what coverage that gets.
Look at the recent Dylan Mulvaney PR storm and how Anheuser-Busch vs Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV have responded. Nuffink to do wiv us guv!! Let's blame the 'social media and marketing team' seems a common theme.
The Spectator has been good too. Sometimes it's platforming views you don't necessarily agree with, but learn something from (what an old-fashioned concept that seems). I tend to dip in and out of a few - that's what the multiplatforms have created.
I remember you recently asked everyone on here their thoughts on whether you should blend or separate your comedy twitter from this important work. As frustrating as it is, perhaps this is the catalyst?
My suggestion on that post was to keep Twitter for your comedy work and do everything else on here.
When (and I presume it would be when, not if) you get your Twitter account back this is opportunity to do just that.
It could also give you extra publicity in both worlds. You'll be barraged on Twitter by TRAs commenting against you and can ignore them all, only tweeting on comedy. If they point anyone towards the substack as "evidence", so be it. People who haven't done so before will look.. and have their eyes opened.
It would be an interesting one to navigate, particularly as you're doing interviews on GB News. But the two worlds are very different and you're great at both.
Worth a shot?
In the meantime, I look forward to seeing more of your and the team's great work on here.
I was thrown off twitter for a comment on one of Glinners posts that he liked funnily enough. What I said wasn't even bad and acknowledged genuine trans folk who need compassion and help. But because I mentioned how there is a severe mental health factor with some but zero genuine dysphoria coupled with AGPs someone took offense.
There's an ever fluctuating mysterious list of what is or isn't 'allowed'. It's totally above all laws then interprets those very laws as small groups choose - all without any scrutiny. Then they move the goal posts again. Graham and team have sometimes asked what people were banned or suspended for, temporarily or permanently and it was illuminating. It's total obeisance to whatever the genderborg dictate.
Look at the supposed 'crime' then look at the totalitarian response.
Reported that idiot woman Stephen Whittle
This is crazy
Stay safe today
I also reported "Stephen" Whittle. Straight up threat of violence.
She's ridiculous. Unfortunately, she's another trans-masc who thinks 'living as a man' requires aping some of the least desirable of superficial masc stereotypes, and externalising her internalised misogyny. I hope her partner is able to access support.

It's almost impossible to keep up with these constantly switching about, totally messed up people!
I had no idea who this creep is, so thank you all for letting others know.
I really thought we were getting somewhere with Musk allowing much more open debate and differing opinions. Let’s hope this is a short lived ban and someone gets a ticking off for being so stupid. I, for one, am finding it very difficult to cope without you on twitter Glinner. Hope all goes well in Belfast.
It’s absolutely bloody ridiculous. Hope everything goes smoothly in Belfast.
I reported three people yesterday for posting what I construed as threats of violence against you. Every time you tweet, I spend ages blocking those vile arseholes.
I did the same. One made an account especially to contact me yesterday. Blocked it. These people are crazy.

There are some very disturbed people out there Graham. Hope all goes well in Belfast for KJK. Keep Safe.
Yes, and they use the internet to get access to people.
I’m sorry you have to suffer this rubbish that’s thrown at you Graham, and that your comparatively mild response has earned you a suspension (Americans don’t get our humour or sarcasm). I’m grateful you return to the fray but the main thing is to keep your sane head clear and we don’t want you damaged or our heroines that you march alongside: the TAs are vile.
What absolute scum these TRAs are.
I hope they all die soon and I mean that very sincerely.
I must confess I find myself thinking "Where's Dexter when you need him?" a lot these days :)
Outrageous. Makes me so angry. I really hope you can appeal this and we see you back on Twitter soon, Graham.
Stay strong. And stay safe today.
Oh god, this is just mad (although we reached that stage ages ago). No room for irony or nuance on Twitter. Wishing everyone in Belfast today fine weather and more importantly, hope you all stay safe.
You were mass reported. Someone called Jason Reid UK was behind it all.
Yet their bile seems ok. They are truly grotesque individuals.
They can say what they want and make threats. There are still woke moderators on Elon’s team, probably cocks in frocks.
And all the ones who also cock their own heads to the side and indulgently smile and nod at how this sweet bunch are 'standing up for their rights' under 'sustained attack' from the right wing/bigots/nazis. All those who 'don't want to get involved' or ask 'what is going on here' when it's patently obvious what is going on.
How did you find out who was behind mass reporting? I've heard before that this silencing is organised and frquent
They usually tell us and crow about it on Twitter. They are very proud about their authoritarian tactics. All this is happening in full view of us all.
It was much easier when pervs met up with other pervs and got on with their perving.
Crazy. The libero-fascists are everywhere. Enjoy the day. Best to all.

Belfast was great, and glad the AWAs were held at a distance. I am putting up a message to them! I am so annoyed about the use of the word Nazi!
Grrr

OK I can't make that out because a lot of the articles I trawl through are very much on our side of the argument. One recent one by Jenni Russell which I reported here https://dustymasterson.substack.com/p/taking-women-for-fools
