To every deranged cultist/bot/man pretending to be a pearl clutching nurse who live on twitter and mysteriously never attend real life transphobic events - this is what real, actual women think. We are onto you and your abusive hobby. Women have had enough https://t.co/Ina08MBETl
The way this man constantly insists he is a therapist is wild. His entire website, including the hat tips to booking him for therapy, is just a shop window for his anti trans influencer grift. It's embarrassing
I used to say that children who believe they’re ‘trans’ just need therapy.
I’ve changed my mind.
Unfortunately, by the time they come to see me for therapy, the allure of ‘transitioning’ is often too strong.
The only solution is to legally prohibit ‘transitioning’ altogether.
@jk_rowling She highly disapproved of the stuff you're into these days, and I'm sure you are well aware of that really. Keep posting, though, if it makes you feel better
I don't remember ever seeing Richard Dawkins spend this amount of words criticising a random white academic. Or any other academic. Publicly criticising academics in the media is brand new this week, and only for that one academic. Funny, that
I am bewildered, and not very impressed, by the visceral, naked, irrational hatred spat out by some defenders of Jason Arday. If a Cambridge professor is accused of being an unqualified charlatan, the accusation might be racially motivated. On the other hand it might not, depending on the evidence. The correct question to ask is not, ”What is the colour of his skin” but “Is it in fact true that he is an unqualified charlatan?” Please examine the evidence before leaping to the assumption of racism.
As for the idea that journalists “piled in on him” and “hounded him to his death”, most attacks were against Cambridge University. Jason himself was widely regarded as an unfortunate victim of foolish promotion way beyond his ability to cope. In appointing him to a professorship for which he was manifestly unqualified – in ludicrously describing him as “the best in the world” – certain senior members of the university showed a level of patronising condescension towards black people that could fairly be described as racism, while at the same time making him tragically vulnerable to such attacks as came his way.
This is what back bone looks like for all those cowards who keep trying to claim they support trans people but are actively involved in funding transphobia by putting money in JK's pockets.
@Petersbrooking Single issue middle class bullying. I look at it a little like fox hunting. They will never stop, and will passionately defend their right to bully as a hobby until their dying day. They have nothing else to talk about
People like this demanded stupid toilet rules, and now they've got them, it feels like they're still somehow blaming the people they were bullying by demanding the stupid toilet rules
Mixed sex toilets.
Today I visited an establishment with mixed-sex toilets.
I pushed open a door marked with the usual male/female symbol. Inside were four cubicles, with approx 7ft-high dividers that didn’t reach the approx 10ft ceiling.
Two men were washing their hands.
“I don’t think I’m in the right space,” I said.
“You are — and it’s freaking us out too,” one replied.
This isn’t comfortable for women and it clearly isn’t comfortable for men either.
It would be remiss of somebody who is not an ignorant American boomer to point out that the NHS is funded overwhelmingly from public money.
We pay for it.
Our taxes fund the hospitals, the staff, the equipment, the medicines, the legal departments and, crucially, the bill when somebody decides to drag an NHS trust through court.
So when Growling threatens an already-struggling NHS institution with an endless procession of lawsuits, she is not threatening some faceless private corporation with shareholders and a Cayman Islands account.
She is threatening a public service paid for by the British people.
Every pound diverted into legal costs, settlements and defending litigation is a pound that ultimately comes out of the same finite public resources paying for nurses, cancer treatment, ambulances, mental-health services and operating theatres.
Of course public bodies must be legally accountable. Nobody gets to wave an NHS lanyard around like a magic immunity card.
But “SUE THEM INTO OBLIVION” has a rather different flavour when “them” is British universal healthcare.
Congratulations, lads.
You have become so consumed by the culture war that you are now cheering on the prospect of extracting money from the NHS and calling it a victory for ordinary women.
Whose money did you think it was?
Growling's?
No, sweetheart.
Ours.
Dear @JeremyClarkson I saw this on my feed on another platform and instantly thought you needed to see it.
"Jeremy Clarkson thinks people who receive benefits should have to send a weekly thank you email to a randomly chosen working person, explaining what they did with the money, or have their payments stopped.
So here is mine. If you’d like to give it a share to help Jeremy see it, that would be great.
Dear Jezza,
Thank you for your concern about my contribution to society.
I should say first that you were aiming this at young people you believe are sitting at home doing nothing.
But you wrote it as a blanket rule applying to everyone whose benefits are paid.
That includes more than thirteen million pensioners, millions of people who receive benefits while working, who may find themselves being ordered to thank another benefit claimant, and me.
I receive PIP.
That money goes towards the Motability car I use to travel to work.
It is not a free car. It is not even my car. I exchange the mobility part of my PIP to lease it.
The car takes the lot.
Which is awkward, because that same payment is also meant to help cover the additional costs of being disabled, including a wheelchair that is actually usable for my job and hearing aids that allow me to do it.
There is nothing left for either.
I chose the thing that gets me to work.
That car enables me to work and, because I can work, I now pay considerably more in tax than I have ever received in PIP.
But my contribution does not end with my own tax bill.
I have built programmes that hundreds of people now use to earn a living.
They pay tax too.
Those programmes have helped thousands of people overcome anxiety, return to their lives and, in many cases, return to work.
Then there are all the people supported by the coaches and practitioners I have trained.
That is what disability support can do when it is designed to enable people rather than humiliate them.
My PIP did not disappear into some great benefits black hole.
It helped provide the transport that allowed me to work, build a business, create opportunities for other people and contribute far more than I could ever have done without it.
But as we are exchanging thank you letters, perhaps you could send me one too.
I paid my television licence throughout the years the BBC gave you the platform that made you famous.
I now pay for Amazon Prime, which helps fund the television programme about your farm.
I do not choose to watch it.
But that is how society works, Jeremy.
We all contribute towards things we may never personally use because the entire country would fall apart if every payment had to provide us with an individual benefit.
Perhaps you could also thank the taxpayers whose public services and infrastructure support your businesses.
And while you have the stationery out, perhaps you could explain the farm.
In 2021, you told The Times that avoiding inheritance tax was “the critical thing” in your decision to buy land.
In 2024, when that became rather inconvenient, you said it had never been true. You claimed you had actually bought the farm because you wanted somewhere to shoot and that tax avoidance had simply sounded like a better story at the time.
I am not sure which version helps your argument.
It is funny how public support and clever tax arrangements are treated as perfectly respectable when they benefit wealthy people.
Yet when a disabled person receives help to leave the house, go to work and participate in society, you think they should be made to perform gratitude.
So thank you for your concern, Jezza.
I hope my licence fee, Amazon subscription, taxes and contribution to the economy have all been gratefully received.
Please send your thank you letter weekly, along with a full breakdown of how you spent the money.
If it is not sufficiently fulsome and effusive, I assume your income will be stopped.
That is only fair."
It's hardly a gotcha that the most vile characters in the UK "gender critical" grift were fans of a Spectator columnist who admitted an interest in sleeping with ubderage girls. You people are actually cartoonishly evil
