I’m often sneeringly accused by all sides of being ‘obsessed’ with the rise of trans. And it's true that for the past few years I’ve not been commissioned to write on much besides. Consequently, I’m now one of a handful of journalists to become expert in the issue. 1/3

It’s because you’re gay
Once you’re rich and famous and can have any girl on the planet you realise they’re all scum and you don’t want a single one.

Once you’re a deluded pimp, trafficker and rapist, everyone realises it’s better to screenshot your effluvia than to respond or quote-tweet you.

In April 2002, when her 23-year-old daughter, María, vanished on the way to a doctor’s appointment, Susana Trimarco felt something break inside her—but also something ignite. The police investigation stalled immediately, swallowed by corruption and indifference. So she did what

"A UK study of more than 2,000 women found that 38 per cent had been “choked” during sex; among 18- to 24-year-olds, the figure rose to more than half. The practice is lethally dangerous: unconsciousness can occur within 10 seconds, a seizure in 17, and death in under three

This vindictive troublemaker is still going ahead with her attempt to destroy @AllianceLGB. So if her crowdfunder isn't funding it (although the statement there somewhat contradicts this post), then who is? I wouldn't be surprised to find out it's Jolyon.

The Government’s planned assault on the right to trial by jury is a con. It won’t affect that many cases in the backlog and there no evidence at all that juries cannot properly discharge their functions. This is elitism and anti jury activism.
'There is a strain of elite opinion which simply looks down its nose at the judgement of ordinary people.' Lawyer Dennis Noel Kavanagh reacts as thousands of defendants could lose the right to a jury trial under plans to prevent the collapse of the criminal justice system.

“As we document in Pornocracy, men often imitate what they see online not out of cruelty, but because they believe it is what women want. Meanwhile, young women we spoke to described feeling pressured to accept acts that hurt or humiliate them, afraid they’d be seen as “vanilla”

this troon is suing the outlet I co-founded because we called him a man and not a “lesbian female.” he also told the court he believes that no one knew he was a man until we said so.
We are getting sued for calling a man... a man. After 4 years and 1800 articles, Reduxx has received its first lawsuit. We are being accused of "defamation" for referring to a trans-identified male as a "man" because he is "legally a female." Read more and help us fight back:

There’s a widespread reluctance to acknowledge pornography as the fuel of transgenderism. That’s part of why I wanted to write Pornocracy. If you’ve not yet ordered your copy, buy it here

Unfortunately @jo_bartosch @ThePosieParker are correct. A lot of our dads have a major addiction to porn. It impacts female family members of all ages in a variety of negative ways- another reason social workers need urgent better training on child protection in our families.
Where do you think men get these ideas from? It’s time to get serious about pornography. It’s not a private matter, it’s a social catastrophe

Cath Leng on the BBC’s “gender” bias: “I think the problem isn’t solved while they still have self-ID in the style guide — that is the definition of institutional bias because it means that even if journalists want to say ‘he’ … they can’t.” https://t.co/MofVrd5VU7

My sister lives in Dubai, and I rarely see her. To celebrate the launch of Pornocracy she commissioned the amazing @JessDeWahls to embroider from this photo taken on the day of mine & OH’s civil partnership. I’m not an emotional person, but I nearly cried. I love it! 😻
