Many of them are slum landlords. That’s my point.

I despise them, but I despise the mainstream left/progressive commentators who ignore their behaviour for reasons of political expediency even more.

It's such a seductive story. There's a group of humans that have always existed but they're not in any literature, art, or history. This is because they are so revolutionary, so incredible, so challenging to the status quo that they have been kept oppressed, suppressed, hidden throughout time just waiting until they were able to emerge. Now you, dear ally, dear righteous warrior for good, are a part of bringing them out of the shadows, of helping them claim their place in the world. You are part of the ultimate liberation, the ultimate social justice movement, the one for the people born in the wrong bodies. This is what gets people like Owen and Grace, this is what makes them turn off their brains and hide replies. To face the truth is to accept that they are not heroes helping liberate the most oppressed group of all time but easily manipulated marks, groomed into believing absolute bullshit.

The refusal by men on the left to engage with this conflict of rights before now has allowed the Tories to make it a culture war issue. If you and others had engaged in sensible conversation with leftwing women raising the problems, maybe we wouldn’t be here.

Adults who support the idea of "trans" kids have a disturbingly vapid and shallow conception of "kindness" that allows them to sit idly by as a horrific experiment is carried out before their very eyes. This is not kindness, it is complacency. They simply don't want to rock the boat - and risk being labeled as "right-wing" - and so they tell themselves that this experiment is being carried out with good intentions. That's not true, but it's comforting to them, and their comfort matters more than the futures of the children being harmed. You know they aren't thinking, because gender ideology is a house of cards that crumbles under the breeze of very simple scrutiny. I have no patience or forgiveness left for these people. I was one of those children. I would have been the quintessential "trans boys." Now, as I consider my options for having my own child, at every turn I feel so much anger for those who would have stolen even the possibility of this path from me. This is exactly what they are doing to so many children today, cheering on their "transitions" like fools, but they aren't going to be there 20 years from now after that child has grown up and come face-to-face with reality. They'll have moved on to the next trendy cause that makes them feel good as long as they continue not to think.

There are a few health risks associated with smoking, but one online survey found that youth smokers (age 8-10) felt access to cigarettes was an important part of their identity. “Please don’t stop us from being who we are, we have a right to exist,” said Alexa, an 8-year-old tobacco advocate. “All we ask is one Amazon-delivered, government-subsidized pack of cigarettes a day.” Some far-right groups have concerns about the Smoke Affirmation movement, but experts say they are fear-mongering and hateful. “What does it matter to you? Let kids be themselves,” said Tina, smoke affirmation services expert, who earns a dollar off every tobacco product offered to a child. “This is about affirming identities,” she emphasized.

Unless ID & his colleagues believe TWAW is contingent, which makes it logically incoherent. In any case, this is exactly the type of moral & political paradox that one would expect to have thrashed out on OWGN & Bunker. But no, they have avoided any discussion of such importance.

In fairness, I think ID believes the chess decision to be discriminatory because he subscribes to TWAW. But if one believes that, then logically and inexorably it leads to male bodied people in women’s sports, refuges and prisons.

The fascists Billy boy are the 1s who think it's fine to smash a 72yr old skull and who bully and threaten a disabled woman all because she wants same sex care but the money you've made off supporting these fascists is all worth it though to you I suppose?

If the right are now able to use it in their culture war, it’s largely because an awful lot of male leftwing commentators have desperately been trying to avoid the conversation for so long. They dropped a bollock and it’s starting to show.
