I've been following the kerfuffle with Kaechele and the art gallery and are genuinely baffled over what she is trying to make a statement about (or theres every possibility Im just misunderstanding). She is obviously on the political left but I don't think she is actually a terf, and nor does she seem to understand the gender critical position - essentially that human beings have binary manifestations of sex and that it cannot be changed, despite the ongoing legal and institutional machinations of the cult inducted activists. My impression is Kaechele seems technically on our side but not fully cognisant of the gender critical position. As a person in the arts community I know there are a lot of dyed in the wool lefties trying to say women exist but simultaneously trying to avoid saying "and men cannot turn into women".

Regardless, I do appreciate her sense of humour and that she refuses to get brow beaten by those trying to make her comply.

Hi Pearl

I do understand what you are saying , of course.

I am hoping that Ms Kaechele is taking a kind of Ricky Gervais approach to all of this ( if you follow me). Are you in contact with her? It would be great if we could get her involved in the comments here 😊

#TerfistheNewPunk. Brilliant Louise Distras.

I miss reading twitter put downs now that I can’t access twitter. I particularly enjoyed the Tom Harwood one.😆

What the heck has happened to the police and that school!! The police also ‘visited’ a Reform candidate who had a poster up in his window in case it upset asylum seekers.

What a fantastic discussion between Arty Morty and Sasha White, so many interesting ideas. Re KJK, her comments were probably born from anger and frustration but she does seem to go too far in her generalisations. Arty and Sasha cover it really well with nuance. It’s tricky. In theory people should be able to wear what they want, but in practice, do we want to normalise male fetish to the point that inappropriate clothes are worn in every day situations. I don’t. Fetish is the difference between gender non conformity and an autogynephilic male, but how do we navigate that? The gender ideologues, as ever, are pushing boundaries on the coattails of others.

Arty’s explanation of the human brain reminded me of Martine Rothblatt who believes that we can all live a life completely cut off from our mammalian selves. And at the end, Arty’s anger at his ex teacher friends rings very true with me.😁

Really enjoyed that, thanks Dusty.

You're welcome, TT.

Yes, Louise is great.

The police also contacted a POW candidate, of course, about the POW leaflet which they described initially as 'malicious communication'!!! Harry Miller and Sarah Phillimore ( Fair Cop) have a lot of work to do!!!

As you say lots of interesting points by Arty - I agree with you re male fetish.

I liked Arty saying we are mammals with a thin veneer of civilisation 😊
