To use a leftie term, I’m feeling especially triggered by the response to what happened to Kallie Keeler. All the anon accounts screeching that it's a normal part of wrestling, just an "oil check" (an illegal move by the way, that this was not), that she's too wimpy and weak to be a wrestler if she can't handle it.
Bullshit.
She was assaulted. A man stuck his fingers inside her vagina and held them there.
This incident echoes dark patterns that I have witnessed and even been caught in the midst of for decades.
Bad men will hide behind shields of respectability while abusing girls and women in plain sight.
As a former gymnast and whistleblower, I see the parallels to Larry Nassar immediately. Nassar hid behind the respectability of his medical degree and his role as USA Gymnastics team doctor. After he abused young female athletes for 30 years, finally women came forward in droves to report the assaults. Those victims were attacked for months until there were too many to ignore.
My coach hid behind his "coach" title, while claiming to keep athletes safe as a spotter, then molesting in plain view. Athletes were shamed into silence.
Predators will exploit any opening to find, abuse and assault their victims.
@RosieDuffield1@JournalistJill Thank you Rosie. I have a feeling my vile Tory MP won’t have signed it…but I want to make sure. You never know…this might be one issue he actually agrees with me on 🤷♀️
@iiwasinthee212@MancAcademy AZEALIA BANKS is due to attend on 4th September 2026. Is this something you would tolerate for the British people of Manchester. Mocking a disabled man who was brutally attacked in Belfast within inches of his life.
The City of London is defying the Supreme Court in pledging to carry on with allowing men into the women's bathing pond.
Which men? City bosses say they will leave that to the "common sense" of frontline staff.
Lawful...? We'll see them in court in November.
@HelenWebberley We’re the ones that ARE listening. We want them to talk…to learn to love themselves. You’re not listening at all…ffs.. you just want their Parents money so you can drug them and add to their years of torment.
@DavidPaisley@gablodian@ThomasWillett9 So David…you’re a gay man…would you be in an intimate relationship with a trans man…one who hasn’t undergone any surgery?
@AvaLovelaceX Those ‘period symptoms’ are side effects of the hormones you take. You wish they were related to a menstrual cycle, like you wish you were a woman, it doesn’t make either of them true. You’re deluded…but deep down you already know that.
