LGB Alliance had their blue tick removed and now Mr. Menno's been suspended from Twitter. If some people can't see what's happening here, then there's really no hope for them.

Probably because there's no right-wing blue ticks left to purge so they're attacking those closer to home.

I still maintain labelling the LGB Alliance as far-right will ultimately be their undoing. It's all well and good purging right-wing American shock jocks blue ticks because they're allegedly "far-right" but when you turn on a charity who aren't even right-wing never mind far-right, you better back that shit up with evidence because such slurs will rightly be scrutinised.

I can't wait to see the TRA barmy army get fucking smoked in court. It's gonna happen. Ditto Alison Bailey's court case.

I really hope you're right. A certain Prior Tuck's been ranting on and on and has now taken the tack that most of the GC feminist accounts on social media are really run by men. He's trying to get out of being called a misogynist, which we all know he is, but he must think we're really stupid if he thinks we don know what he's doing. I really wish someone would take Joss and his ilk to task. I had to protect my account on Spinster because I was harassed and doxxed and everything I was posting was being screenshotted. Its very wearing.

Could you please give more details about your account on Spinster? I'm on there, but haven't followed many threads. Are they allowing trolls to join? (I presume yes.)

Trolls are soon identified and get chucked off or we do a mass block. I'm Debbie_TriptychTwins. I don't mind telling you as most people know about it anyway. I refuse to hide in the shadows.

Great! I use my actual name after Meghan Murphy urged women to do so who do not have to fear for their jobs or safety. I have no job and have never feared for my safety. Someone told a great story on gendertrender about being in a women's toilet facility with some dude who kept primping at the mirror. A 60s-something woman went up to him and said, "Quit dicking around and get out of here." That could have been me.

Meanwhile, Prior's on Twitter at the moment, boasting that no woman's asked him to leave the bathroom. He's obviously not met us!

Wow, an archive of your substack is going to be indispensable to historians trying to figure out wtf went down. No mainstream media is chronicling what and how you are. I hope you are keeping a backup of you site in case substack goes woke or is hacked. I'm serious--what you are writing is the real history and we cannot lose it!

Agreed - you are well named!

Mr Peter Bright isn’t really a Dr.

Nor is he really named Pizza.

As far as I’m aware, he just… likes to eat pizza. (As is… visibly evident, I suppose.) Hence his “username”.

I’m actually glad his Twitter account is still up. You can find loads of dodgy old tweets where he’s perving over “jailbait”. There’s even one selfie 🤳 of him wearing a Pedobear T-shirt. And since he got arrested, he’s been unable to access his account to delete all this incriminating stuff.

He once wrote a opinion piece for Ars Technica (where he usually wrote about Microsoft) in which he argued against the of consent!

Hiding in plain site, he was.

*age of consent, I meant to say

I hope you have all of this triple backed up on USB or similar, I wouldn't trust anyone online not to purge your information, including Substack. Thank you for being the champion of women, and the historian who chronicled the deeply misogynistic trans juggernaut.

Totally agree, especially after gendertrender lost her stuff to wordpress. I think they finally gave it back, but she had years and years of internet sleuthing documented.

Every man has had their Dr Pizza moment. It's a rite of passage for any man who had hitherto been dismissive of feminist issues.

Remember the lesbian sit-in at a Pride event a few years ago? To my eternal discredit I dismissed them as attention seekers at the time (being ignorant of the entire Stonewall debacle)

But the abuse Ms Rowling and your good self were receiving a few years later made me curious. I wanted to dig deeper and what I found was not pretty; there were Dr Pizzas all over the ruddy show! 🤣 Suffice to say I did a 180 pretty much overnight. I've managed to proselytise quite a few colleagues, family and friends since. Every little helps as they say 😉

It was YOU who brought my attention to the trans movement. I’m glad you did.

Not to mention the @AllianceLGB, which was granted a blue tick, but lost it when the TRAs lost it too.

Don’t men and the establishment behave badly in order to avoid either being or avoiding being EXPOSED for what they’ve done to women and often children and young people as well. Quite remarkable manipulations, machinations and “punishments”. Or just entirely shameless because they know they as a class have all the power and privilege and ability to oppress and abuse others with impunity really. It’s so “stunning” and anything but “brave”.

Hi all at Glinner,

Thank you for continued, wonderful support for women’s rights - you are absolutely inspiring.

Succinct and spot on as ever, Graham

Because pedos and transgenders are the only class of people Twitter cares about.

How do trans allies not see the harm done by this ideology (the extreme stuff especially) to actual trans people? They trip over themselves to gush praise and support to the self-identifying nonces, predators and pervs. I often see them arguing that GC feminists want to instill fear and vilify transwomen. It's not true of course, it's just that we seem to be the only ones willing to call out the nonces and perverts. And let's be honest, it's not exactly hard to find the bad apples. The examples collected by "these are not our crimes" provide a long list of TIMs who claim to be women charged with assault and possession of child pornography, and other various offences. The courts and media have largely been playing along with preferred pronouns but we all KNOW the truth. They are men.

It's not that difficult to see the likes of twitter catering to this nonsense when the courts and journalists have been making it "official" right under our noses.

Never had a Twitter account myself, I never really understood what the appeal of it was given a message has a lid of bytes meaning you can only put 30 words or so in a message. I'm still glad I don't have one and I'm getting more and more suspicious of it being a real mental health risk. I don't suppose anyone has the resources to spare but a massive boycott of this iniquitous propaganda platform wouldn't be a bad thing for civilisation.

Transgender propaganda is the latest face of gross misogyny, but I do think it's important to remember that misogyny is nothing new. Witch hunting is nothing new. Causing people to lose their jobs is nothing new. The patriarchy has been around for millennia and its crimes are endless. I read The Dangerous Sex, an anthropology book by a man trying to trace male hostility towards women, when I was young and it made me sick to my stomach. I'm currently reading Capital, and I don't want to hear any anti-Marxist garbage from people who have not read Marx's actual work. He writes about how women and children were treated in mines, agriculture, and factories; they were the preferred workforce because they worked cheaper and forced men's wages down as well. Women worked naked in mines right next to men; often women fed their babies opium so they could work.

I have little but contempt for this transgender nonsense, but it helps me to stay sane to realize misogyny is nothing new under the sun. We have often protected pedophiles and rapists, they're part and parcel of patriarchy. What I ask is what I ask of all people: How do I unconsciously support patriarchy? How do I unconsciously support white supremacy?

As far as Twitter goes, does anyone know how Meghan Murphy's lawsuit against Twitter has shaken out? She made the point that it was a prime way for her to get her message across.
