[Graham Linehan describes being arrested for the following tweet: "If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls."]

Later, during the interview itself, the tone shifted. The officer conducting it asked about each of the terrible tweets in turn, with the sort of earnest intensity usually reserved for discussing something serious like… oh, I dunno—crime? I explained that the ‘punch’ tweet was a serious point made with a joke. Men who enter women’s spaces ARE abusers and they need to be challenged every time. The ‘punch in the bollocks’ bit was about the height difference between men and women, the bollocks being closer to punch level for a woman defending her rights and certainly not a call to violence. (Not one of my best as one of the female officers said “We’re not THAT small”).

He mentioned “trans people”. I asked him what he meant by the phrase. “People who feel their gender is different than what was assigned at birth.” I said “Assigned at birth? Our sex isn’t assigned.” He called it semantics, I told him he was using activist language. The damage Stonewall has done to the UK police force will take years to mend.

[...]

I was arrested at an airport like a terrorist, locked in a cell like a criminal, taken to hospital because the stress nearly killed me, and banned from speaking online—all because I made jokes that upset some psychotic crossdressers. To me, this proves one thing beyond doubt: the UK has become a country that is hostile to freedom of speech, hostile to women, and far too accommodating to the demands of violent, entitled, abusive men who have turned the police into their personal goon squad.

Told my college grad daughter when she was in high school and encountered trans classmates "As long as they don't do anything permanent they can dress how they want. In 10 years we will look back in horror." Well it has been 10 years and it still continues. Most disappointing aspect is the women who support this including my own daughter. What happened to the sisterhood of women we grew up with?

Quiz shows Mastermind (BBC) and The Chase (ITV) both had cross-dressing men on this week, and here’s also a recent episode of Jeopardy! (ITV) in which Stephen Fry seems thrilled that a troon finally got an answer right.

ITV also replayed an episode of Celebrity Catchphrase this week, in which BBC presenter Stacey Dooley donated her money to Gendered Intelligence. She also previously donated money to another child castration charity, Mermaids.

Another good thing the Trump administration has done is ban transgender people from serving in the military. Recruitment numbers have soared, showing that while people have been afraid to speak up against the trans insanity promoted by the previous admin, they have instead voted with their feet. There is no place for mental illness in the military.

["Lessons From The Juhgle Book"]

Mowgli is set upon by the snake—Ka—who immediately reminded me of ideological trans identified groomers the likes of Jeffery Marsh. He hypnotizes Mowgli and slowly starts squeezing him. [...] No matter how much Mowgli thinks he can live in the jungle and can fight off the dangers alone, he can't. He's just a boy, and even adults can fall prey to predators. The reality is predators are lurking who are keen on keeping this boy from reaching the man village, just as there are predators like Marsh who are keen on keeping kids from reaching adulthood while trying to squeeze what they want out of them.

[...]

Baloo is a perfect example of glitter families: fun, encouragement, no allowance for nay-saying or reality. Baloo encourages Mowgli's delusion and doesn't even try to take care of him aside from relatively empty platitudes, much to the chagrin of Bagheera. [...] Baloo shows the same lack of sincerity about his life and any negatives, which is also common in the TQ+ online communities, right down to the flippancy around injury and even (disturbingly) interspecies relationships.

[Comment addressed to Graham Linehan]

I used to dream of getting back to England, but now I have no desire to go back there. The big hope in the USA is that Trump was elected. I didn't vote for him the first time, but I did in 2020 and in 2024. For all his detractors, he is the last hope for women and girls' rights in the USA, while the media and the Democrats relentlessly try to tear him down. You relate how you came to understand that the media are totally corrupt and lie about everything. You have a lot in common with Trump, who has been lied about at every turn, vilified, shot at, and accused of crimes to try and get rid of him. The more people who realize who the true enemies of the people are, the better. You are a powerful inspiration and a great and good man. I contributed to your legal fund and hope the court case goes your way. We need some victories in this battle, and you are a true warrior on behalf of women, girls, and gay people. Please don't be discouraged. I never watched an episode of Father Ted and only heard about you through your support of women.

This week the BBC probably broadcast more pro-transgender propaganda than it ever has before.

Repair slop
The Repair Shop is a primetime BBC One television show that’s been running since 2017, in which ‘members of the public’ present family heirlooms in the hope that they will be repaired. Last week’s episode kicked off with a man bringing in a skirt in need of restoration. After a few seconds of chat, he revealed that it belonged to his brother, and we were subjected to a sob story about his brother’s ‘transition’, his ‘gender fluidity’ and how “she was my inspiration”.

This was not the first time a segment of the show was about a cross-dressing man. Here, we meet a man who pretends to be a woman called ‘Jacquie’ and we meet his wife who is called … Jackie. And before that, there was the woman who had her teddy bear repaired so she could use it as emotional support for future transgender ‘surgeries’.

[...]

Despite being a tiny proportion of the population, BBC News keeps bumping into people who pretend they’re the opposite sex. Here, in a feature about immigration, the lead-in to an interview with the home secretary is via a cross-dressing man with what appears to be roadkill on his head, who BBC News at Six supposedly randomly met on a street in Basildon. He wasn’t the only cross-dresser that BBC cameras randomly bumped into this week. In Tuesday’s episode of Escape to the Country, ‘Marcia’ discusses what life in Dorchester is like (for men who wear women’s clothing).

[...]

BBC News also prominently featured a story this week about a man in Saudi Arabia who took his own life in 2023, to highlight the abuse 'transgender Saudis' face. A documentary has also been made. The article states that this is part of a series on … inspirational women around the world.

BBC Reporting Scotland also got in on the act - this week from a furry convention, implying it is entirely good wholesome fun. There is no mention that it is actually a sexual fetish or that guests had to agree to not exhibit artworks depicting paedophilia or bestiality during convention sessions.

For nearly a decade now, the BBC has engaged in pro-transvestite propaganda, and the last week has been no exception.

Chess Masters: The Endgame is a new show hosted by Sue Perkins in which 12 contestants compete against each other over chess and puzzles until a winner is announced. One of the contestants is, of course, a man who pretends he’s a woman
There have been numerous examples given on this Substack of the BBC shoehorning ‘trans women’ or drag queens into shows in recent years, and here’s three more.

The sitcom, Bad Education. Reality business show Dragons’ Den. (Despite this company being unsuccessful, this was at least the second time it received free BBC marketing). The other reality business show, The Apprentice.

BBC News is even worse. There’s a good thread here that highlights the dozens of times that ‘trans children’ storylines have cropped up on BBC News, almost always featuring the narrative that a child can be transgender, a definition of which is usually never given, or if it is, it’s gibberish like this, taken from a BBC documentary aimed at children. There’s also a disturbing thread here about the bizarrely high number of ‘child drag queens’ that the BBC has reported on. For example, this was about a 12-year-old boy.

[Commenting on a transgender academic delivering a lecture on Greek mythology at Oxford University]

Interesting that Dr Hardwick likes going into schools and telling them about ‘Classical Culture’. I wonder if his chats include the tolerance of pederasty ?

Why do so many of these blokes take such an interest in ‘educating’ the young ? Obviously, they don’t want them to miss out on any mind extending experiences.

[On the film Wicked, which depicts male school pupils wearing uniforms with skirts]

I also went with my kids and their friends, preparing to sort of enjoy it, not prepared for the uniforms etc.

It also infuriated me. How dare authorities let this happen. Really. I know somewhere in there I sound like a bigot, but to me this akin to the creep of S&M into children's fashion. For any vulnerable child this would be disastrous.

And it WILL build the ranks of the TRA armies- from those ignorantly/lazily pseudo compassionate supporters to the radical supporters.

Unfortunately, the highly intelligent and talented are targets from being ostracised at a young age at school, and the neurodiverse, of which I am part of the ranks. These are children who think in black and white, believe what they are told or read online, are bullied mercilessly at school for their differences, have inabilities to self advocate or adequately defend against bullies, excel in music and drama and find refuge with other like- minds in music and drama.

I feel so so so so much for them and their families. Why the heck couldn't the movie'Wicked' highlight a whacking bunch of obviously autistic kids who end up heroes because of their strengths and special interests? THAT would be more compassionate and helpful than applauding a surface/ cosmetic difference that will inevitably harm kids.

Yuri Bezmenov. Cultural subversion. Innoculation of deviancy into Western societies has led to the collapse of Western society, similar to how a mass fungal infection transforming its hosts into zombie-like creatures was portrayed in HBO drama, "The Last of Us" - how ironic that the show, is in fact, a self-parody of what being infected with wokeness can do. I've had enough of these noisy deviants and their cultural/political/corporate enablers: just STFU! I don't care how gay/whatever you are. Just turn down the volume and get out of my face. Thank God that peak woke has made the silent majority able to spot social engineering and start to laugh at it. I was an NHS GP for 30+ years. As far as I am concerned any medical professional that cannot distinguish biological reality form gender ideology has succumbed to the cordyceps infestation and needs to be dealt with. If they participate in poisoning children with hormones or mutilate them surgically then they should be struck off, charged, convicted and jailed in the same way that the surgeon, "Ian Patterson" was for mutilating women with unnecessary breast surgery. At least that monster didn't do it to delusional children.

The recent Supreme Court ruling that a woman is a woman and a man is a man (as Dyke & the Blazers pointed out back in 1968) brought the usual mob of trans activists to the streets with their scrawled placards, fishnets, and moobs. Displaying the vitriol we’re used to seeing from them, many of those cardboard signs contained death threats, including the phrase “the only good TERF is a [dead] TERF” - but another sign guilelessly said the quiet part of trans activism out loud in chillingly straightforward terms:

“ALL BOUNDARIES ARE CONVENTIONS WAITING TO BE TRANSCENDED”

Written atop the baby blue and baby pink stripes of the trans flag, it was held up in Parliament Square at last weekend’s pouty shitfit. And there, in black, white, pink, and blue, is the end goal of trans ideology. A world without boundaries, where access to women and children is a right, and any dissent is framed as being part of a bigoted or even genocidal agenda.

The purple-haired prophets see the barrier between men’s and women’s toilets not as a hard-won protection, but as merely a ‘convention waiting to be transcended’.Never mind that DBS checks exist to keep children safe—that’s just another ‘convention’. Those who run shelters know that predators push limits—but in this new worldview, the problem isn’t the predator, it’s the limit. How dare any woman or child ask to be physically and legally protected from men, the group in society statistically most likely to cause them harm?

Perhaps it’s the trans mob’s panic at knowing they’ve lost the ‘right’ (which they never actually had in the first place) to enter women’s spaces that made the sign-writer suddenly confess to just never wanting to hear the word ‘no’. Other groups of people who despise the word ‘no’ include rapists, abusers, predators, pimps, johns, traffickers, and paedophiles.

["The zombie movement still stalking our screens: The trans movement is dying, but no-one seems to have told TV executives"]

This Christmas, there was no end of transvestite propaganda in the mainstream media, and particularly on the BBC. Strictly Come Dancing’s Christmas special on Christmas Day was won by Tayce, a drag queen. Blankety Blank, aired on Boxing Day, featured drag queen The Vivienne as one of the celebrity panelists.

(Tragically, the man playing The Vivienne, James Lee Williams, died a few days later at the age of just 32. This led to several pages of tributes on BBC News. Former US president Jimmy Carter, who died the week before, received just two. The BBC pages about Williams referred to him at different points as ‘he’, ‘she’ and ‘they’, with initial reports suggesting that the person who had died was Williams’ drag queen persona, and not Williams himself.)

Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel, prime time on BBC One on December 28, featured a drag queen as one of the celebrities. On New Year’s Eve, the BBC broadcast quizzes including Mastermind and University Challenge. Both prominently featured male transvestites. The new series of Traitors started at the beginning of January, featuring a ‘trans man’ (a woman who believes she is male) as one of the contestants.

It wasn’t just the BBC. Netflix aired the new series Missing You, based on a novel by Harlan Coben, at the start of January, about a young female detective who’s trying to solve her father’s murder. We quickly meet one of her closest friends - a cross-dressing man who is taking part in a ‘girls’ night’ with female friends. In the novel, this character is a recreational transvestite, but the screen adaptation makes it clear he is ‘transgender’, and not only no threat to women but vulnerable to male violence himself. Meanwhile ITV either aired or had available on ITVX several recent episodes of mainly detective dramas in which a cross-dressing man is shoehorned into the story.

[...]

If this recent glut of womanface (with the exception of a solitary ‘trans man’) and the promise of future gender propaganda in the entertainment industry is all a bit depressing, it’s worth remembering that nowhere is more captured by this ideology than the arts. The exciting news that Graham Linehan is writing comedy again is reason to hope that sanity will prevail again soon.

We recently highlighted the disturbing number of ‘child drag queens’ that BBC News has promoted, but this takes a lack of child safeguarding, even at the BBC, to another level.

A 14-year-old boy has performed as a ‘drag queen’ at Pride events in the past, and has said he would like to star as several drag queens in a film about the history of homosexuality. Somehow, over a year ago, he was not just given a platform to make this film, but Ian McKellen agreed to star in it.

There should already be several red flags waving about this, but BBC Radio Berkshire and BBC News decided to promote the boy (under a picture of McKellen sat next to him on a sofa, touching him).

Writing on Substack this week, James Esses, detailed several horrifying examples of schools in England that are teaching gender identity as fact to their pupils and indoctrinating even very young children into this harmful ideology.

St Jude’s Church of England primary school in Southwark, SE London, for example, operates a ‘wider curriculum’ which involves shoe-horning ‘inclusion’ and ‘pride’ into a variety of subjects. For example, in History, children will be taught about “The history and meaning of the rainbow flag” and in art lessons, children “Study LGBT+ performance art and fashion, including drag queens and kings”.

There’s a very well followed Twitter account dedicated to The Muppets that I used to enjoy, as an adult who likes a bit of nostalgia. Just recently, the guy who runs it has started tweeting more about his own life/beliefs and all sorts of bizarre, sexualised interpretations of these characters, which are FOR CHILDREN, eg:

- The Fraggles are asexual/nonbinary (clip of one scene where a character is referred to as “they”).
- A puppet cow who has a posh/camp voice is secret code for drag queens.
- How he and his wife are both bi and queer and how all their other genderqueer pals are their “tribe”.
- Photos of him and said wife getting married in their kiddie cartoon clobber/visiting Disneyland etc. I hardly need to add that they don’t have any children themselves.

I’ve unfollowed it because it is setting off all my alarm bells.

[After describing a scene from Invasion of the Body Snatchers]

I thought again of this scene on a recent visit to Ireland, where I found myself in Dáil Éireann with a group of conservative politicians and intellectuals. Just a few years earlier, we were at each other's throats during the lead-up to the abortion referendum. Now, we found ourselves on the same side, fighting the grotesque form of American cultural imperialism known as the trans rights movement.

During this visit to the Irish Parliament, I heard something that made me shiver. Apparently, the monstrosity that is the Progress Pride flag had been engraved onto a door in the building. A conquering army had planted their flag at the heart of Ireland's legislative power. But this didn’t come at the end of a war of words like the referendum on abortion—where at least each side was able to make its case. Rather, this was the result of a silent coup, a war fought in whispers and behind heavy closed doors. A war to which the enemy was not invited.

[...]

Under the Criminal Law Act of 1977, conspiracy is defined as an agreement between two or more people to commit a criminal act. This includes planning to commit offences against children. I believe that some of the meetings I’ve described today, could fall under that heading.

Easy Mode
[...]
That if-then logical fallacy is not good for women, who lose legal protection and representation when biological sex is a category open to personal interpretation informed by trans Reddit mods. Under gender self-ID, there is one kind of woman, born female, protected and regulated for her reproductive biology, and born male, whether he keeps his penis or has it removed, though the chances of that are between 5 and 13 percent. Woman and self-ID transwoman are one, impossible to differentiate by any criteria, and equal in women’s rights and protections, including single-sex spaces.

Single-sex spaces exist because even a casual glance at arrest and conviction records shows that allowing men to share public facilities with women is dangerous to women, especially women prisoners. Nicola Sturgeon might admit, after a bottle of wine, that self-ID is unpopular when it rapes women and puts on a wig to dodge getting locked up with other men. Scotland thought so when it asked her if a double rapist, self-IDing after he got caught, was a woman or a fraud opting into Easy Mode jail, where the women can’t get away.

The shortly thereafter ex-First Minister was backed into a corner by the question of a double rapist’s womanhood. It was hard going, as ‘woman’ is now an undefinable and exclusionary term in trans ideology, except of course for transwomen, who are women because they are women.
[...]
The my-way-or-the-highway branding “Transwomen are Women” does not work for women. It is high fantasy that any man who cares to enter a single-sex space with women and girls can do so without diminishing the privacy, dignity and safety of those women and girls.

The idea that any man deserves access to any female space is pure misogynistic resentment. To the aggrieved male, women have shot right past equality and on into privilege over him, attacking his status with diversity hiring, assembling without men, and failing to defer.

The men who use self-ID access to publicly flaunt a fetish or opportunistically harm women and girls far outnumber the tiny population of genuinely dysphoric men for whom medical transition is a legitimate treatment. It is not feasible, however, for women to attempt to separate them at the changing room door.

My life has been ruined, ruined because of what you and various people did, directly contravening agreements that you would not add the T to a charity that was promoting LGB rights.

It's not important that my life has been ruined because I'm old and big enough and ugly enough to manage it. Can you explain to me why Stonewall is not supporting Keira Bell and every single transitioner whose life has been ruined because of your adoption of gender identity theory and queer theory? How do you feel about the fact that in the US today, there are 36,000 girls who are on a waiting list to have top surgery? Is that something that you can sleep with at night? Because I can't.

So LGB alliance is focused on telling the truth. Having fact-based dialogue, telling the truth to girls, but it's great to be a girl. It's great to be a lesbian. You do not have to cut off your breasts and pretend you're a boy because you’re gender nonconforming. Stonewall, you are responsible for this. And I blame you for not supporting Keira Bell and every other detransitioner. I blame you for supporting men's involvement in (women’s) rugby. How can you do that!? That's clearly dangerous! And I blame you fundamentally for lying. Gender Identity ideology is based on a pack of lies. And everyone on this call who actually considers the background of gender identity theory and queer theory, knows that.

I would finally like to say the LGB Alliance, and I suspect everyone on this call, fully supports the rights of transsexuals to every equality under the law. We don't want them discriminated against at work. We don't want them discriminated against in housing, or in health, and the fastest growing demographic that supports LGB Alliance are transexuals.

Predators - paedos and pervs - must be unable to believe their luck! Not only can they get away with this shit, they have a load of WOMEN who are helping them! Effectively pinning the entire female sex, and children, down for men to rape! Forgive them mother for they know not what they do? They numb their own minds with the cultish chanting so as to prevent that suppressed realisation from taking hold. Kind of like Susie Green. The realisation of what they have done, if acknowledged, would surely kill them.

Cassiopeia & Mower #crackpot #transphobia grahamlinehan.substack.com

(Cassiopeia)
When you think about it, it's so creepy. What makes a heterosexual man want to wake up and speak out on the needs of male-bodied people to access female spaces? Liberals want equality for all. Yes, we believe everyone should have the same rights as they stand in law. But when your main passion is access for cross-dressers (because that's all most trans people are these days) to identify into women's spaces, there's something wrong with you. Your wife needs to lock away her underwear. Your daughters need to watch out. That's not normal advocating for equality, that's campaigning for kinks and paraphilias.

(Mower)
I firmly believe there is a link between paedophilia and the current form of trans rights activism. Of course not all gender identity ideologists are paedophiles but I do see the link working the other way. I can see why paedophiles would be attracted to gender identity ideology. I know someone (a gay man in his 50s) who has an unhealthy interest in young boys. I stopped communicating with him a while ago, but, from his social media postings, it was clear he’s a strong ‘trans rights activist’. This seems to be connected with the ‘transgressive’, ‘I’m more on your side than your parents are’ vibe that comes with gender identity ideology. I was also speaking on Clubhouse a few days ago with a couple of women who have detransitioned. Despite being lesbian, both said that when they first identified and presented as “non-binary”, they had an unexpected and very uncomfortable amount of sexual attention from older gay men. One said it felt it it was all about their “young androgynous appearance”.

Various TERFs #moonbat #sexist #transphobia grahamlinehan.substack.com

(Graham Linehan)
Stop with the 'both sides' bullshit

'Terfs' are ordinary women defending their rights; trans rights activists are abusive monsters

It is profoundly ignorant to talk about “both sides” needing to tone down the rhetoric in this debate. There is only one side that sends death and rape threats, only one side that tries to destroy livelihoods, only one side motivated so transparently by misogyny, envy and spite. If you see someone taking the ‘both sides’ trope out for a trot, ask them to produce anything by me, Jess De Wahls, JK Rowling or Maya Forstater, or any other gender critical person, that even comes close to the poisonous filth produced by the men above.

(Shelley)
I get so annoyed when the media says we are as bad as the other.

I heard LBC saying the subject is so divisive. No, it doesn't have to be. The only reason they say we are as bad as them is because they know they'd have a bunch of manic, sobbing, emotionally wounded men in makeup crying of the trauma the media caused them, if they don't.

(Meinir)
What is anger inducing is if there was a group of men all dressing up in some kind of uniforms from the second world war and spewing this kind of bile at a specific religion and its people, they would be shut down instantly.

Yet Men dressing in Women's clothes (and usually a caricature of what they *want* women to be wearing) can spew threats and bile with abandon and are applauded and supported by the media. The Women being threatened and attacked and losing their livelihood are dismissed as being "mean".
