James Kirkup being fab, again

(Re: my above, yes, it's equally possible it's the Stonewall auto-response effect. But previous mention has been made of the Mumsnet effect and the number of submissions from women throughout the UK.)

Victoria Atkins, the impressive Home Office minister navigating this minefield, reported that a Government consultation on reforming gender-change laws has had more than 100,000 responses. This issue matters to a lot of people.

Is this what they call the Mumsnet effect (with full assistance/guidance etc. provided by WPUK, FPFW etc.)?

If like me you've used up your free Telegraph articles this week, Peak Trans has a transcript.

I began my career at Westminster in 1994 and I have never witnessed a political failure like this one, though I’m cautiously optimistic that things are improving.

I hope so, James. I really do.

And equally fab here:

Another great article!

Another stonkingly sensible and well written article

Brilliant. I love how she might be bothered by a man standing naked next to her but not by a trans woman standing naked next to her.

How would she feel about a naked transman next to her? Logically, if TWAW then TMAM. If she doesn’t feel threatened then she can’t bekieve they are really Male.

inevitably a mixture of insight and cobblers

He's great.

Sweary that's very interesting. I'd always wondered why the Torygraph carried so few GC articles, barring the throw-away comments in articles on other things which show quite a few of their columnists are GC - oh and of course the ongoing adventures of Steph in the Alex cartoons. I hadn't realised the print version was different.

Gibberish- getting the quote right makes it even better!

"Fact free, anti-evidence superstitious rubbish"

Love that quote.

Thankyou, James for another great piece.

Women who might not subscribe to the fact-free, anti-evidence superstitious gibberish contained in talk of seeing souls? Women who might just consider material reality, biological fact and thousands of years of accumulated evidence about male violence, committed with male bodies, to actually matter?

True dat.

It's odd, Needmoresleep as they tend to not necessarily employ journalists who are in line with their readership but it is clear here that they're not doing what their readership would expect. I wonder if it's a case of them chasing a new demographic as their readership is, quite literally, dying. There was something about her appointment in Private Eye a few weeks back.

Whenever a piece gets online the comments are very critical of any transgender stuff, and there are more critical articles trickling through, but who knows what the editorial decisions are.

JK's theme all along is the exposure of the malleable, ignorant, ill-informed and craven politicians, and government departments, that have enabled the absurdities inherent in the trans agenda.

Always balanced, always fair, always factual and laser sharp.

The online MD at the Telegraph is super woke. Seems lots of GC stuff doesn't make it onto the website

Interesting. I wondered why they had been outflanked by The Times, Speccie, Mail and Sun. I wonder if that is a sensible commercial decision given so many of their readers will be GC.

Brilliant. I love how she might be bothered by a man standing naked next to her but not by a trans woman standing naked next to her. In fact they could be identical twins, one identifying as trans and one not, and somehow it would magically be ok for one of them to be naked next to you and not the other. And you could never complain because how could you know which one it was.

Page lead report on David Davis's speech in Daily Telegraph today "MP hits out at transgender activists who stifle debate" but can't find it on the on line version.

I had to create a Press Reader account to access this:

Presumably its a skill she picked up whilst studying physics at Imperial. Their second year compulsory course in soul reading and woo.

I’d like Ms Moran to define a soul.

That's a great article and yes to his comments about Victoria Atkins and her constructive comments. A relief to hear some sense coming from someone in government for a change, (which shows how pathetic they are as her comments aren't exactly ground breaking)

a 5 o'clock shadow on a female 23 year old is not a good look
I'm sure you know there's nothing objectively wrong with a beard on a woman. It's just that society tells us it is wrong and we internalise that viewpoint.
