Labour is now committed to its section 28 on steroids Let’s remember: section 28 was a horrendous law that intimidated teachers and others, suppressed the dissemination of information about homosexuality. It was homophobic and it was awful. But it did not create a criminal offence. It did not prescribe penalties. The Labour Party’s draft bill to ban “conversion practices” is also homophobic. It also sets out to suppress the dissemination of information. But it is far, far worse than section 28 It will criminalize a parent who says: “No, you’re a boy. Maybe you’re gay. That’s fine: Let’s get you some therapy to explore the causes of your distress.” It will criminalize a parent who says “No, I refuse to pay for binders, blockers, testosterone. You’re a girl. It’s fine to be a lesbian.” Such conversations may cause extreme distress. The minor may call them abusive. We’re talking about a criminal offence of refusing to allow your child to take harmful drugs. Of suggesting she might be a lesbian - not a boy. Of refusing to go along with her insistent demands. ***With a potential 5-year prison sentence.•*** Let’s stop Labour’s Section 28! We will not accept this latest iteration of anti gay and anti lesbian legislation - however well it is dressed up to look “progressive.”

The now-deleted OEO post gave Britain a rare glimpse behind the rainbow curtain. Not teenage furries or “liberal white women”, but besuited men meeting to drive the trans agenda forward. Who has the power? Who pays the price? Read: terftimes.com/p/ideological-…

Wonderful news for Matthew! Congratulations!!
I am pleased to confirm that as of 16:01, the sum of £40,376.22 has been paid across to my solicitors. I therefore anticipate withdrawing the bankruptcy petition next week as the debt owed to me will have been paid in full. As you know, I am a fair and reasonable man. I very generously granted an indulgence earlier this week, although I did not have to, precisely because I am extraordinarily reasonable. While some of you were no doubt looking forward to bankruptcy proceedings, I must point out that settling a debt in full brings proposed bankruptcy proceedings to an end, by design. This therefore concludes the civil litigation commenced against me back in March 2024. I am grateful for your support throughout this process.

The gender identity movement — I call its supporters the genderati — is sexist and homophobic. But it has managed to confuse a large section of the public by the words it uses. It advocates being “inclusive”. Like this: “Inclusive” is good! 😄 Non-“inclusive” is bad 😡 Being “inclusive” means accepting that some men — oh sorry, I mean “trans women” — are lesbians. If you don’t accept that, you are “transphobic” and bad 😡😡 Another one is “hate”. Love is good 😍 Love everyone! “Hate” is bad 😡 Love means accepting that everyone is who/what he says he is. “Hate” is calling a man a man when he has expressly told you he is a woman.😡 That is “misgendering” - which is hateful and bad 😡😡 If you are an “ally” you understand that everyone knows who they are and what gender they are and you know they should access the spaces they want according to their “gender identity”. 😄 That is “kind” and “good” 😄😄 If you say they can’t access those spaces because of the law or because of some other stupid reason you are “transphobic”. Transphobic is bad 😡😡 According to the genderati, Europe is filling up alarmingly with people who say there are only two sexes and that sex is often important. That is not “inclusive”. It is bad. It is “transphobic”. It is ANTI GENDER. ANTI GENDER is hateful.😡 And really really really bad.😡😡😡

Here is the map showing the alarming spread of the movement that cares about the rights of women and LGB people and promotes child safeguarding. The genderati call it “hateful” and “anti gender” because — what else can they do? Distorting words and meanings is the only trick they have left. forbidden-colours.com/hate-r…

Please read this analysis and re-post. There are still plenty of people out there — including MPs — who think this awful bill is really about banning “conversion practices”.
1/ The GMN analysis of the Conversion Practices (Criminalisation) Bill (NI) is now available on our website. This Private Member's Bill is legally incoherent and it offers worse protections for gay men and lesbians than existing NI law. gaymensnetwork.co.uk/letters

Zoe Hollowood is incredibly brave to challenge her party in this way. I know what it’s like to state biological sex is real and be attacked for speaking common sense and telling the truth. She is not on my side of the political spectrum, but courage calls to courage everywhere. Zoe should be supported in trying to get the Lib Dems to stop being silly, follow the law and respect the supreme court judgement.
Yesterday our chair @hollowood_zoe asked @LibDems conference in a trans debate: "In 2026, are women allowed rights? Rights to dignity. Rights to safety. Rights to say no." Conference resoundingly voted 'no' thus deciding that women were second class citizens. 🧵

In a free country, you are entitled to believe you are a woman with a penis. But not to take it into a female changing room, nor to cheat your way into a female athletic competition, nor in any way to impose your private delusion on the rest of us. theguardian.com/politics/202…

Having discredited himself among those who support evidence-based medicine, Gordon Guyatt has fled to the fantasy crowd.
Just published brilliant, deeply insightful paper from ethicist and academic pediatrician specializing in adolescent medicine coauthors vividly demonstrates how #EBM has been unconscionably misused by #AntiTrans forces wishing to deny #GenderAffirming care. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4254…

Poll below. 👇 I’m interested in the influence of Leslie Feinberg’s novel “Stone Butch Blues” and her other work in the US as opposed to other countries — especially on the prevalence of lesbians taking testosterone — whether or not they continue to call themselves lesbians. This is a question for lesbians — or female people who are attracted to other female people, whatever they call themselves. Please add comments.

Watch the conversion of a clinician who formerly believed in evidence-based science into a mouthpiece for the “transition” industry, retailing known falsehoods as if they had some factual basis. I wonder if Guyatt is so furious with Mia and Stella for exposing his arrogance and laziness in a viral interview that he sees this as some kind of petty payback. In fact he is simply making himself look even more ridiculous.

These harmful myths include: “Gender-affirming care is ‘lifesaving’ and its benefits are scientifically established.” “Puberty blockers are ‘reversible,’ safe, and supported by a ‘strong’ evidence base.” “Regret is below 1% and 98% of treated minors continue treatment into adulthood.”

Is Guyatt still fuming about making a fool of himself in this interview?
Me: You signed a statement calling “gender affirming care” for youth medically necessary. Guyatt: WHAT!? That’s RIDICULOUS. I would never say that. Me: *produces the receipt Guyatt: Oh, I didn’t read that part. I’m a dope. Unbelievable.

Great session on REPATH! Those who yielded to activist demands and tried to persuade society that being “trans” is a perfectly natural human variation — one that somehow requires lifelong medicalization, sometimes removal of body parts — have sold society an outrageous lie that does nothing to help those afflicted. Of course those who believe they are the opposite sex — or no sex at all — have a mental illness. The depathologization of trans — as if it was somehow similar to being gay, which is a ridiculous comparison — has done great harm. That does not mean those afflicted should be ridiculed, harassed, stigmatized, or subjected to abuse. Absolutely not. As with any mental illness, they deserve to be given compassionate, professional psychotherapy. Let’s get back to a sane approach to this harmful “overvalued belief.”
REPATH is back, and @stellaomalley3 and @_CryMiaRiver are opening this new chapter with a look at why it’s returning and what’s coming next. Join us this Tuesday, September 8 for a livestream before our REPATH series launches September 15. piped.video/@genspect?ra=m

On this day four years ago, in a tribunal case brought by Mermaids and driven by the Good Law Project -- a failed bid to strip @AllianceLGB of its charitable status — Kate Harris was driven to tears at being forced by Mermaids’ barrister to defend the definition of “lesbian”. When she recovered, she said: “I’m going to speak for millions of lesbians around the world who are lesbians because we love other women. We will not be erased and we will not have any man with a penis tell us he’s a lesbian because he feels he is”. Kate will never stop fighting. And neither will I.

And now we get a “reminder” from @AmnestyNow that “trans rights are human rights.” Let’s be clear what “trans rights” means. It means the right to be treated as a person of the opposite sex — or no sex — for all purposes. That is not a “right” around the world. It may be in Canada and Australia — but the awful consequences of that legislation have now become so clear that we will soon see countries rowing back. So no, Amnesty Canada. Your “reminder” serves only to remind us that the tide is turning and your misogynistic position is on the way out.
