Thank you @RebelliousCow. I hadn’t heard of Billboard Chris either! Will check that out.

I hope that is the right video - the one I referred to above.......But at least you now know who he is and can see if you can find more clips on you tube. He often co-operates with Peter Boghassian - which is how I first came across him.

I understand he was assaulted on a bus recently, by an utterly deranged TRA.

I don’t think I know who Billboard Pete is but am interested in this Youtube video if you can help me find it @RebelliousCow.

Sorry, it is Billboard Chris, not Pete

Ladies, it’s not okay to sterilize kids.

I spent three days on a street corner near Bowmore Road Public School, and the entire community is now talking about gender ideology and puberty blockers. It...

Bragg is a coward. Rather than engage with any of the arguments being made (surely the most obvious thing to do would be to speak directly to Barton?), he tries to paint MNers as bigots and nazis because a thread about a misogynist appeared on MN. Did he actually read any of it to see what MNers were saying? No. Just linked to the deleted thread as if the fact that the thread existed at all is evidence that MNers are transphobic and will align themselves with any revolting twat who shares the belief that transwomen are not women.

He is really really clutching at straws, isn’t he?

I find it fascinating how obsessed Bragg is with MN.

To be honest I don't think he's cognisant enough to be misogynistic. Like most people who have embraced gender ideology as an article of tribal membership, he hasn't got the first clue what it is even about." It is just about equality, innit?"

Do you remember that 'debate' he and that 'professor' from Birmingham University had with Julie Bindel and Ayaan Hirsi Ali? They'd done no research at all and didn't know what the hell they were talking about - embarrassing - even though their arrogance prevented them from even being aware of that.

I was watching 'Billboard Pete" on you tube the other day. It is evident from his encounters with aggressive, self righteous gender ideologues that they have not the faintest clue what they are talking about. One young woman was surprised to hear that he wasn't shocked and outraged at her having short hair whilst still being a girl🤔

@TheaBrandt I love that. I have an 18 year-old DD. At 14 she was all ‘be kind’ ‘TWAW’ etc. Nowadays things have changed a little. She is still kind (and there are lots of trans and NB kids in college with her so she does feel she has to be diplomatic), but she sees everything much more clearly now and is firmly in support of women and girls keeping our spaces. She is no longer willing to budge up and make space for boys and men who want to be women- unfortunately this is largely because she can now see how many males are outright creepy and/or unwilling to let female humans have their own things and spaces.

Great piece.

Can I have a boast? My 15 year old had PSHE at her girls school this week. It was this topic they were shown a video they were asked their view. Dd said people should be free to do what they wish but girls need to keep their single sex spaces. Dd is a cool girl so got away with this and the other girls in the class ALL agreed. Teacher was a 50 year old woman her slightly weepy response “I’m not allowed to give my own view on this but I’m so pleased with you girls”.

Your daughter is wonderful!
How awful though that teachers who KNOW how wrong this is are not able to speak up.

18 months ago she was TWAW be kind type and I was a mean mum. Not any more.

Great news for you both; it gives me hope for my ten year old.

I think the tide is turning with girls. They are looking at the antics of some boys and thinking ‘what the hell? Why are we letting this happen?’

Good for them.

In a wonderful bit of intersection, he’s been schooled today on the difference between an analogy and a metaphor by a professor from the university of reading.
