she has no idea who she's advocating for

The Famous Artist Birdy Rose has a
very relevant piece here:

I WISH WE COULD BIN THE PHRASE "TRANS COMMUNITY"
BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT A 13 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO HATES HER BODY OR EXPERIENCES DYSPHORIA HAS
IN COMMON WITH A 50 YEAR OLD BLOKE WHO'S SEXUALLY ATTRACTED TO THE IDEA OF HIMSELF AS A WOMAN

Praise this all you want but he's outed a survivor.

I am mentioned in this article. I was in my late teens in a very dark place when it was going on and I have a very different life now. Him putting me in this article has meant I have woken up to extreme harassment for the first time in five years.

I worked hard to keep myself as anonymous as possible, I even have a different surname now, and he has completely fucked that.

That's really scary. My dd's trans and I can understand why - who would want to be a girl? - but she has no idea who she's advocating for.

Cripes.

and our parliament claps for them.

What's it called when you want a job done but don't want any muck on your own hands?

WarriorN · 23/01/2023 11:29

I actually need to go back and read it again and it was so crazy that my brain glazed over at the enormity of those in power bowing to these people.

frotthle · 23/01/2023 11:29

Disgusting. Quite the eye opener..

Whereareyourshoes · 23/01/2023 11:27

Woah. Alex Cole-Hamilton actually said they did all this for Beth? What the actual fuck. Ignoring the harm this assault on reality causes for women and children across Scotland. All for the benefit of one person who gets off on threatening women. What an absolute creep.

Jess bradley there's a blast from the past

Getting the gang back together Grin

ArabellaScott · 23/01/2023 10:58

'WingsOverScotland' seems to be trending on Twitter.

The response so far from TRAs is, in an entirely unexpected move, to try to smear and slur the whistleblower.

This is their only hope. Expect doubling down ad hom attacks.

Villagetoraiseachild · 23/01/2023 10:46

Stunning.
I hope this goes viral.

From the article

Wings has spoken to someone connected to ACQ, who did not wish to be identified in this article but described Douglas as a “psychopathic rage-monster”. They also said that Douglas favoured sexual practices involving strangulation – echoing the remarks made by Sukhdev Parhar – and cutting partners with knives. (They did not make any allegation that these activities were non-consensual.)

Douglas certainly does appear somewhat obsessed with knives and bladed weapons.

How has he not already ended up in prison (although we all know even if he did which poor sods would be stuck in cells terrified of him).

Good to see the use of the word grooming in the title. It accurately describes what's happened to women and children as everyone is coerced into lowering boundaries for the benefit of these individuals.

As someone on twitter said: they can't possibly believe that all transwomen are delicate, vulnerable people who need protection when they rub shoulders with these activists. And that's really concerning.

Yes very concerning. The public are fed the image of the marginalised vulnerable little victim whose only aim is to live a peaceful life as their true authentic self. Meanwhile scheming and picking up public and fund raising money to get access to 'educating' school children. The student unions appear a toxic mess and no wonder politics is in the mess it is in. I would be looking very closely at all those SMPs involved with these people.

Here are all the politicians applauding Beth and others in the public gallery of the Scottish Parliament.

How the fuck did we get here?

MrsOvertonsWindow · 23/01/2023 10:14

Good grief! When someone shows you who they are, bloody believe them.
Hopefully this is just the start and some enterprising journalists will do what they should have done from the outset - expose the reality of many of the individuals behind this movement. They could start with all the organisations that target children and schools.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 23/01/2023 10:14

I don't think so, no, judging by the evidence. No one prominent in the movement. Of course, there are many thousands just living their lives.

Kucinghitam · 23/01/2023 10:14

Gosh, the Right Side of History looks awfully grubby and sordid.

Datun · 23/01/2023 10:11

Good grief. Is there one, single solitary normal person involved in this ideology?

CriticalCondition · 23/01/2023 09:52

That piece joins a lot of dots. There are a number of familiar faces in those screenshots.

Minusthree · 23/01/2023 09:49

Ive just read it. Incredible that my concerns have been completely ignored and dismissed by my SNP politicians whilst these people have their complete attention. Disturbing doesn't cover it
