Scotsman with a grievance, or ray of sunshine?

BBC News ought to (but probably won’t) see it as an issue of trustworthiness that I’ve turned onto the end of a news report about a woman stabbing four men & I have no confident idea what sex the perpetrator is.

I just don't understand why we need to know anything else about the trans movement except for the fact that it's now in its second decade of waging all-out legal & culture war on women's right to exclude people from their intimate spaces.

They’ve apologised to (amongst others) a service which exists solely to provide support to women who have experienced any kind of sexual violence, for having published defamatory nonsense about them on more than one occasion. That is obviously not a matter of any gravity for a typical BS bro.

“Yelling”. I do not think that word means what you think it means. Very much like ‘woman’ to all the BS soi-distant progressives. (Feel free to consider yourself shouted at, if that feeds your unearned sense of righteousness👍)

When self-declared progressives started sending images like this to feminists on old Twitter, not only did nobody give a shit, they denied that it happened at all. When we warned that violent threats degrade all of public discourse, we'd *at best* be told to suck it up because we deserved it.

Here is a call for the murder of Home Office ministers + officials by the X user endorsed by the site owner Elon Musk.

Men are still super happy to put their name & face to open calls to violence against women. They know that as long as they're not threatening any group that also includes men, neither app moderation, social sanction nor the law will come after them. And they're right, nobody ever does.

When the weather gets hot, please take special care for the goths in your life. With their floor-length coats, platform shoes, and velvet capes, it’s hard for them to thermoregulate as we do.

Given the complete lack of literary content posted in this parish, I can only assume they found out I was gifted a copy of The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht: Scottish literary establishment types not coming across as keen on women who won’t wheesht.
