@AdrianP_doc personally i haven't experienced an increase in crime but i do experience a vibeshift. the number of people that seemingly don't try to be part of this society has definitely increased. the fault surely lies on both sides, but i feel more alienated and therefore also more unsafe.
@jessesingal why is everybody trying to paint linehan as the asshole here? linehan stays calm and reasonable throughout the entire exchange while ronson is just engaging in diverting tactics.
@FeministRoar to me it's incomprehensible that you cannot see how glinner is the voice of reason in that exchange while ronson is just engaging in diverting tactics. have you actually read those emails?
I am Eldur, a gay man from Iceland who has spent years speaking out against the sexualisation, medicalisation and sterilisation of gender-non-conforming children, and against the erosion of gay rights, women’s rights and free expression.
I am currently facing a lawsuit in Héraðsdómur Reykjavíkur (Reykjavík District Court) brought by Ugla Stefanía Kristjónudóttir Jónsdóttir — co-author of the notorious Dentons “playbook” and Reykjavík City’s “transgender issues specialist” — simply because I called puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors what they are: child abuse.
The second preliminary hearing is this Thursday, 20 August. The case is moving forward. I am approximately €2,000 short of the target, and my legal fees are due at the end of August. Without this sum, my defence is at risk.
This is not just about me. It is a SLAPP-style attempt to bankrupt and silence a gay man who refuses to lie about sex, biology, and the safeguarding of children. Ugla’s lawsuit is designed to scare anyone who dares question the current orthodoxy. If it succeeds, it sets a dangerous precedent: that critics of gender ideology can be dragged through the courts and financially ruined for telling the truth.
I have no large organisation behind me. I am an ordinary Icelander relying on the goodwill of people worldwide who still believe in evidence-based safeguarding, free speech, and the right of gay men to say that men are not women and that children need protection.
£2,000 is needed now to cover the next tranche of legal costs and keep this fight alive.
Every donation, no matter how small, makes a real difference. If you believe children should not be sterilised, that women’s spaces should remain sex-based, and that gay people should not be cancelled for defending biological reality, please stand with me.

@UntergrundBonn statt zum 17. mal tilda apfelkern auf der tonie box zum einschlafen zu hören würde ich auch viel lieber mal wieder saufen und mit sportstudenten auf dem unisexklo rumknutschen. aber wegen scheiß patriarchat und kapitalismus geht das nicht. it's not fair!
@faznet trotz unterurchschnittlicher rechercheleistung schreibt alter mann mit mundgeruch einen beleidigten artikel über junge erfolgreiche frau, weil sie nicht brav das macht, was alte männer mit mundgeruch von ihr erwarten. nun frage ich mich, was mit der faz los ist.
Wenn jemand noch nach Beweisen dafür sucht, dass mittelmäßige und in die Jahre gekommene Journalisten ohne fotogenes Lächeln auch 2026 noch schwitzige (und grammatikalisch holprige) Texte über junge Frauen veröffentlichen können, dann muss man nur diesen Artikel von @americanarena auf @faznet lesen:
'This is absolute arrogance in the face of the highest court in this land.'
Gender critical activist Maeve Halligan reacts as four unions announce a boycott of Labour's women's conference over the exclusion of trans women.
Can someone explain to me how we got to the stage where it’s apparently ‘left-wing’ to defend heterosexual cross-dressers over single sex spaces?
Explain it to me like I’m five.
Because I remember these men tromping around Soho at 3am in fishnets with a bollock hanging out of their mini skirt and no one wanted to be anywhere near them.
20 years later, they want to be talking to us about endometriosis and breastfeeding newborns.
I’ve just seen a post from yet another man who thinks my position has shifted since I wrote my 2020 essay about gender identity ideology and the consequent clash of rights https://t.co/pasxBD1Hzl
For the avoidance of doubt, I stand by every word I wrote then. For instance: ‘woman isn’t a costume.’ If it surprises you that I say men don’t become women by wearing make up and dresses, you didn’t understand the essay. I’ve been crystal clear all along that I believe people are free to live and present themselves as the opposite sex if that’s what feels comfortable and authentic TO THEM. This appears to have been interpreted (most often, tellingly, by men) as ‘and it naturally follows that I, as a woman, will validate a man’s belief that he is now, to all intents and purposes, the same sex as me, and I will use only the speech he deems appropriate and will be very careful to protect his sensitive ego, no matter the cost to myself in pretending to believe a falsehood, or the loss of my own rights due to this pretence.’
Dress as you like within normal bounds of situational decency, wear lipstick, sequins and a beard if you want, call yourself whatever you like, have sex with any consenting adult you please: I wish you health, happiness and safety. What you don’t get is the power to compel my speech and belief.
When I call a man a man, I am speaking verifiable truth. It is essential to be able to accurately name sex when discussing fair sport, facilities and services for women and girls and the right of gay people not to be demonised for their same-sex attraction. In years to come, a lot of useful idiots are going to awake to the fact that they’ve been complicit in enormous harm done to women, girls, gay people who stood against the insanity, and some extremely vulnerable young people. I don’t doubt we’ll hear a lot of, ‘I thought I was just being kind.’ Such individuals, especially those in positions of power, should be asked why they never had anything to say about the loud, public, widespread unkindness directed against those who refused to adopt their fashionable, elitist beliefs, eg, the detransitioners being bullied and vilified by former ‘allies’, the whistleblowers who tried to stop an unregulated experiment on troubled children, the women who lost their careers and livelihoods by standing up for all women’s rights.
Some people appear to believe it a worse crime for a woman to call a man a man than for trans activists to call loudly and publicly for the assault and assassination of all women who refuse to bend the knee. I have never wished violence or any other kind of harm on a trans-identified person, but, like many other people who’ve defended women’s and girls’ rights over the past few years, I have received thousands of threats of death, rape and torture. The wilful blindness of those who bleat ‘both sides’ will rightly be judged harshly in times to come.
TL;DR Trans women aren’t women, and if that hurts your feelings, be grateful you live in a society where you are just as free to espouse gender ideology as I am to speak the truth. As Orwell said: ‘Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.’
