The first thing that opposing counsel did in the new Sandie Peggie tribunal was to point out that she said to the BBC that she had never heard of "gender critical beliefs" prior to her complaint. How, therefore, can her Union have discriminated against her based on beliefs she had never heard of?

Graham Linehan used to tweet regularly that climate change deniers were some of the stupidest people on the planet. Now, he is one. Did he do research? No, his entire logic is that if the Left supports trans rights therefore they must be wrong on everything.

A tweet by the Mayor Of London showing a graph of increase in temperatures saying "tell me again that climate change is a hoax." Graham Linehan has quote-tweeted and said "we can't tell you anything because you've turned off replies, as always."

Graham Linehan responding to someone posting a video of Erin Tatum - a comedian with cerebral palsy - using an ableist slur is a very deliberate choice, isn't it?

A tweet by an account called Orangemaxxing sharing a video by Erin Tatum, a comedian and writer with cerebral palsy, saying "Ed Sheeran is getting cooked by literally everyone." Graham Linehan responds to this with a picture of the guy and the comment "literally every r*tard."

Last year JK Rowling told "gender critical" activists to photograph trans women using women's toilets and post them online. This week, a GC activist did that, and suddenly Sarah Phillimore, a GC solicitor, is warning her allies that this is likely a criminal offence.

Today, JK Rowling is being accused of bullying another woman on Twitter, and she replied that everyone is free to disagree with her, yet, two weeks ago she was saying she was the social media equivalent of Mike Tyson, and if you came at her she would give you a metaphorical "brain injury."

If you walked up to Mike Tyson in a bar and punched him in the face, I doubt ‘you can’t hit back because I’m so puny!’ would save you from consequences.

Same on X. If you want to punch me in public but don’t want to risk a brain injury in return, stick to your own weight class.

Yep, and the prominent people who "both-sided" trans rights and anti-trans activism, who essentially sanitised transphobia for the public, made it seem reasonable to equate the people trying to live their lives and those who hate them doing that are some of the people who are most culpable for this.

Michael, you cannot be a public supporter of Graham Linehan on trans rights and then urge other people to "disagree respectfully." That is unfair. Also, I understand why would you want people to ignore your support of Graham and just debate you on your "ideas" about trans people and their rights.

Recently, JK Rowling tweeted that she refers to a trans woman who is a friend of hers as "she/her", because she is "gentle", "funny" and has "very feminine-coded energy." What is that but a list of stereotypes about how a woman should be, by which this trans woman has earned "she/her" from Rowling?

I live as a woman by being human and possessing a female body. Everything else is stereotypes.

Graham Linehan has published 40+ tweets tagging Jon Ronson...this year. Probably 400-500 over the last 7 years. And it probably goes without saying, but very little of that is cogent criticism. And yet, if Jon retorts in the form of a chapter in a book, Graham "refuses" and threatens to sue.

One favourite line of the "gender critical" movement is "listen to detransitoners," and they'll push forward a small group of "ex-trans" people. So, I listen to them. You should too. Tell me again how GCism isn't a Christofascist movement that encourages and rewards all sorts of bigotries.

I will never in my life understand how Dr. Jones, a seemingly clever "gender critical" activist, hasn't copped on that "gender criticism" is bigotry all the way down, including in her brain. They aren't "making" what we said about GCism true, what we said about GCism was simply true.

Also true: Arday claimed to have been non-verbal until the age of eleven. He span a false narrative about being autistic and mute, then learning to speak and write so well he gained a PhD. What harm did he do to parents with children who're genuinely non-verbal, by selling them false hope?

"Arty" was one of the "gay men who agree with us" in the "gender critical" movement, and once Graham Linehan's Youtube cohost. In recent years, he contributes less and less because he can't stomach the homophobia in the GC movement, but still can't grasp that this means the movement is bigoted.

Shame, because there is genuinely and unambiguously a gay backlash, riding on the trans movement. Sadly, a lot of it comes from well within the "gender critical" movement. Many critics of trans have decided their anger merits lashing out at gays as well, and boy have they.

DO NOT go to this gym if you are expecting water refills or protein snacks as it was promised. They hadn’t restocked for the past two months that I went to this gym and I think it’s not fair to gym goers who have paid the full £120 for the gym yet don’t have the basic necessities there. I also feel misled, as the social media account shows this gym to be incredibly busy and lively but there was around 1-2 people when I went during the weekend, and the equipment quality is awful. Would not recommmend to anyone, please keep your money!
