Hi Dusty, I’ve emailed Transgender Trend and Sex Matters to ask whether they are going to publish any thoughts on the consultation. I’ll let you know if I hear anything.

Thanks as ever.

A lot of interesting items as usual. One of the most outstanding features about the trans/gender ideology menagerie is the difficulty and impossibility of challenging and debating with them. They mostly refuse to engage at all, they make ludicrous claims that are usually allowed to pass by without any investigation. There's no rationale or truth, just fantasy and lies. I'm sure that Strudwick didn't anticipate being exposed and pursued as the obsessive, malignant idiot he is. But why would he? There is a strong basis for his confidence, and a libelous claim that he could provide no evidence for. Vocal misogynists, homophobes and the misfits they attract have had their audacious claims being allowed to pass by, they've seen anyone who's tried to draw attention to them silenced or vilified.

When these toxic arseholes and cleverer manipulators have lost all traction, I want them to be endlessly prodded and examined, but not as much as I want to see it happen to the organisations and institutions that cooperated with them, protected them and helped them to inflict harm on women and vulnerable children and young people.

Real and permanent change is vital, but I also want these bastards to made to account for themselves, and when they can't, I want to see them face the consequences. These marginalised victims have and are doing terrible things that can't ever be dismissed.

That's a marvellous broadside, Radhwa all of which I fully agree with.

I like 'menagerie' :)

They don't debate because their arguments ( such as they are) are built on sand.

Hadley Freeman says at the end of her recent article that we won't forget!

And when they are forced to say something eg the cases of Allison Bailey and LGB Alliance, they lose. Just think support dog 😎

All they have is their fictional victim status, it's the only thing they have to refer to. Any disagreement or challenge they encounter, particularly in a legal context, necessarily has to be portrayed as an attack founded upon prejudice and hatred. It is unrelated to what they say and do, because they are always acting defensively.

They are unique amongst victimised groups in that they have a lot of influence, authority and resources, and what makes them even more special is they get what they want, mostly to the disadvantage of others. Based on this, being victimised seems like a privileged state to be in.

Hi Radhwa

I think ‘fictional victim status’ hits the nail on the head. They are the most privileged victims I’ve ever come across!!

It is pure DARVO!!
