Previous thread:

Part 3

And an article written by Bradley's estranged wife:

www.sarahmcculloch.com/statement-jess-bradley/

Provides a lot of background and confirms that Action for Trans Health received a report of sexual assault and a further six reports of sexual misconduct of Jess Bradley.

"Asked how Dolatowski could pass a risk assessment to live in a women-only hostel having targeted two girls, a council spokeswoman said: “These are women, they weren’t girls.”

Little Jess Bradley behaving badly
Where do you make your cock grow?
On trains, in the park
At your desk, what a lark
Then put it on your blog to show.

The mental gymnastics required is like that used in Fife Council's decision to send a convicted sex offender who offended in women's toilets to a women's hostel. To share a bathroom with women.

Is there a thread about this?

Threre is a lot of cognitive dissonance, saying one thing with great passion, then saying the opposite.

Also:

By way of public disclosure, I married Jess in 2008 for financial reasons. Our friendship ended messily and we are not on speaking terms

At this point, this scandal is not about Jess Bradley, whom I love deeply but I had to let go because she just couldn’t understand the impact of her actions on others.

It reads like a Victorian novel. It is all about passionately held conflicting emotions. A relationship which has ended but there has been no resolution and letting go.

This woman, for whatever reason, is part of the problem.

Says Jess is a liar:

I heard from a third party that Jess was telling people that the blog wasn’t hers and she was the victim of revenge porn by a former partner, which only makes sense if you believe that a former partner managed a public Tumblr with dozens of commenters for four years with only a handful of posts exposing themselves.

Says Jess is a predator:

The report posted by the former ATH committee member that Jess makes inappropriate sexual comments, touches people without their consent, puts people in uncomfortable situations and complains when people do not accept her advances is consistent with our experiences

Demonstrates immediate cognitive dissonance:

I do not have enough information or certainty to say that Jess is or is not a sexual predator

Despite:

ATH had received a complaint from a ATH member that Jess had sexually assaulted them, and they have personally received another three complaints of sexual misconduct as a committee member and a further three after they resigned

She displays a shocking level of denial coupled with total disregard for women and children and no understanding of safeguarding.

please excuse me for the detour but the inconsistency has been ridiculous, I fail to see how a blog which consists entirely of pornographic images and videos of cis men means that trans women are threat to cis women in public spaces)

And what's really concerning is that she is not alone. There are very many people who think this way.

Yes we understand the problem, but so what? STFU.

I don't know what marrying for financial reasons looks like either, in this day and age (inheriting when a will has made it conditional on being married??). All quite intriguing, though (probably) irrelevant

The thing that struck me is that lots and lots of people experienced unwanted behaviour from JB, and lots and lots of people missed opportunities to intervene and make clear that JB was out of order. Possibly because of the magical wand of being trans (and therefore never wrong or culpable), though IIRC JB is a relatively recent transitioner

But - unlike some of the MeToo complaints - there aren't streams of people popping up to say that their friend is a wonderful person who wouldn't do the things that have been alleged. There are people saying "yeah, that sounds like an escalation of the behaviour I've from them for many years"

Because he offended against girls and not women.

I read, 'Jess was wrong, but I don't think flashing is illegal, but even so, any TERF pointing out that Jess is wrong and likely a pervert is horrnedous'

Pythagonal's link seems to work for those having trouble accessing the original. Ta.

<a class="break-all" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190228231125/www.sarahmcculloch.com/statement-jess-bradley/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">web.archive.org/web/20190228231125/www.sarahmcculloch.com/statement-jess-bradley/

For those who don't want to read the whole thing, the article generally fills in bit of background to stuff we already knew or suspected.

But the thing that struck me about that article was the ongoing investigation within the Proud Trust, an LGBT youth charity in Manchester. Which presumably is for children and young adults.

Worrying.

BettyDuMonde · 01/03/2019 09:12

I realise Bradley is attracted to young men, but if your getting your cock out at the bus stop and in the workplace and not just in private with your preferred adult, consenting, partner, then it has the potential to affect anyone.

Sounds like McCulloch knows exactly who Bradley really is, but has some kind of Stockholm Syndrome that won’t allow her to seperate from the ideology.

Psst, Sarah, you do know that a whole bunch of the terven ones are butch lesbians? Or otherwise GNC women? And loads of us are on the spectrum? Please read what women are actually trying to achieve, rather than just taking on the talking points of Anti Women Activists. We’re coming from a ‘let toys be toys’/fuck stereotypes angle, not a ‘fit precisely in the women box or fuck off’ one.

Intrigued as to who gets married for financial reasons nowadays - visa reasons, sure, but financial? Can’t see how it benefits a childless couple, and the tax allowance is only worth a couple of hundred pounds a year. Unless someone had assets to hide?

It seems that Jess Bradley's lack of inhibitions go back a while.

This article about Jess Bradley is around seven months old but still has a lot of interesting information and links.
Bradley is a founder and trustee/director of Action forTrans Health, a taxpayer funded organisation.
As a director of that organisation, Bradley was the first to give evidence at the government's "Women's and Equalities committee Transgender Enquiry" - NO WOMEN'S GROUPS WERE INVITED TO TAKE PART IN THE ENQUIRY.
Bradley also set up the Trans Equality Legal Initiative TELI, which uses "strategic litigation" to advance trans rights.
Bradley was on £24K a year at the NUS, so how could they afford to use all these top flight solicitors and barristers?
Our money of course, the NUS has received around £50 million in the last five years according to the Taxpayers Alliance.

Does anyone know if the Govt bodies JB advised, have been made aware of their behaviour?

ChattyLion · 01/03/2019 07:45

Ugh. I can’t even with these utter creeps. Then NUS should be squeaky clean. Or should name change to become the national union of male students and people who aren’t actually students and sex pests and flashers.
How dare it not publicise its investigation into a staff member that has been accused of something so serious as this?

MsTiggywinkletoyou · 01/03/2019 01:47

@howmanybiscuits Yes, re the Speakers' Corner confrontation: "It is believed the protesters were partly organised by campaign groups Sisters Uncut, Goldsmiths LGBTQ+ Society and Action for Trans Health London." - impeccable source of Pink News (which strangely never reported on Tara Wolf's conviction).

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 01/03/2019 00:29

Yes- Bradley is everything ‘terfs’ are concerned about but it’s not nice to say it.
Trans logic indeed.

howmanybiscuits · 01/03/2019 00:20

One may recall that in September 2017, following an physical attack on a TERF by an ATH member at an ATH counter-protest at Hyde Park corner as the TERFs were gathering for a public meeting,

I didn't know Tara Wolf was an Action for Trans Health member - did you all know that?

Can the ATH lead us to the other attackers on the video I wonder? Pony tail man, for example, is long overdue a visit from the police.

Datun · 01/03/2019 00:16

She's actually saying that Bradley is the living, breathing example of how to exploit the very ideology that Bradley desperately promoting.

But seems to be knocking 'terfs' for recognising it.

AornisHades · 01/03/2019 00:12

Second link works.
It seems to be chucking JB under the bus of their own making and aware that JB has given the 'TERFS' an example of what they're worried about.
It is another one of those 'wrong types of trans women' episodes.

Pythagonal · 01/03/2019 00:07

If you click the link at the top of the OPs second post, it seems to be okay. No dodgy messages.

GlorianaCervixia · 28/02/2019 23:48

The site seems to be gone. Did anyone save the text?

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 28/02/2019 23:47

It's kind of hard to believe. How much is an office job at Labour these days? Presumably there was quite a lot of downtime, enough for one to get one's willy out.

Melroses · 28/02/2019 23:17

I didn't think people married for financial reasons these days - that was what you did in the 60s and 70s Hmm
