You know, be careful what you wish for others , it has a habit of coming home to roost. As for them, they’ve moved on; new homes, new lives, new relationships - but Glinner is still living rent free in your head.

    @@catherinerobilliard7662 I'm revelling in the own goal, Graham *ignored* his family to focus on hate, and the inevitable consequence followed. Trans allies didn't threaten anything of the sort, wheres linehan and his goons were outing people, compromising their safety. Or you're probably a fan of Linehan changing his mind on nazis because of his transphobia. Who knows.

    ‘Quite stubborn’? Good! In Graham’s case that equals INTEGRITY! He knows he’s right, everyone with any intelligence or compassion knows he’s right, and he’s not selling out to trans activist bullies.

    Not just men behind the gender woo-woo. There are plenty of women involved, for example, Judith Butler, leading Gender Theory academic and Suzie Green of Mermaids, plus a lot of ‘transhausen’ parents. Just saying - I’m female but I’ve notice a lot of misandry creeping into the GC movement. We can’t just blame this on men.

    I think there’s even more to it than that. The ‘transhausen’ mothers are clearly seeking attention vicariously and are willing to sacrifice their kids in order to get it. As for Butler and other proponents of Gender Theory, it seems to me to be a distorted offshoot of feminism, following on from the argument that gender is a social construct (and therefore women are absolutely equal to men in every way). Feminism has shot itself in the foot.
