Ex Copper TRA arrested, finally.

Having worked with survivors of abuse for decades, I did indeed believe the trans identified men who told about being abused by their mothers. I do not believe that this makes them women, i believe it makes them men with very specialised psychological needs, who should never be given surgery and/ or cross sex hormones. It does not help any of us to not investigate the men who use needful in their early 20's and continue with the delusion into their 50's and 60's.

I accept that it is possible, but unless you witnessed it yourself it is quite a stretch to take the word of a man who you know to have a problematic relationship with objective truth and who wants to justify their own actions.

I did not blame a woman, but have come across trans identified men who were sexually abused by their mothers when they were small boys. It is not helpful, in my experience, to paint all women as incapable of sexual abuse of children. The vast majority of those who sexually abuse children are men, but there are women who do and they have an impact on child survivors.

Please do not blame a woman for his behaviour.

My thoughts on why this man behaves as he does, this is, of course theory only, as i have never met the man!.
He was possibly abused by a woman as a small child and so identified as woman, to "protect " himself, his early sexual fantasy/ porn use triggered the sexual fantasy of himself as a girl. He then became so invested in this "persona", while knowing that he was still male, that he had to squash his self knowledge by lots of mental " noise". He was also affirmed by those around him, feted for being stunning and brave this in itself becomes addictive and he can't cope with the change of perception. He has to keep the merry go round going to stop himself from having to have who he is and what he has done.

I tried to comprehend him as well, after reading what Helen J wrote, but I just can't. Unmoored from reality seems about right, and he's definitely obsessed.
He's doing the whole trans thing no favours, we all have to live in a world with people we don't agree with, they just aren't that special.

This is exactly the sort of person who should be labelled a vexatious litigant - someone the courts has made clear is completely wrong but who tries to constantly fight the same fight and use the court system itself as punishment for his victims even though the court has been clear that he is wrong.

He looks like he should join Status Quo to be honest.

I was trying to get into the head of this man and I made my self sick. 🤢
He's definitely unmoored from reality, he seems obsessed with punishing those who won't comply, the level of self-righteous that he brings to his crusade is totally unhinged. I wouldn't be surprised if he was certifiable.

Agree @LightningMode and he has a pack of equally dangerous mates, but LW may be the most deluded of the pack.

Lynsay Watson is a dangerous, vindictive, unhinged man. He's been banned from Bluesky multiple times - Bluesky! - and now permanently, for threatening behaviour, but he can't keep away, so now he has to pretend not to be himself on there.

He also has that account on Twitter/X that a PP noted. But just like the laydee he is, he thinks he's going stealth with all his continuing mad rants 😆

Oh my god I thought he looked familiar! He reminds me of the Churchill adverts nodding dog!! 😂😂https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DWV748jN3qA

Oh that is VERY funny. Hoist by his own petard. Why the hell his nonsense gets anywhere near a court room is beyond me.

Actually a (intended to be funny[ <-- don't know why it does that... direct translation of the expression 'head like a robber's dog'.

I refused to Google and dredged my memory for my 40 year old O Grade French.

"Heid like a burglar's dog"?

I had no idea he had gone after Baroness Nicholson too!

Hahaha yes 👏 🍹

Well played, Helen J.
Nicely done.

I’m going for bulldog sucking piss off a nettle.

Me neither, puts me in mind of Bill Sykes' dog in Oliver Twist.
Aptly enough.

Thanks for the link, I did wonder who the unfortunate victim that he was in court to persecute was, now I know, and that the tip off to Wings came from HJ.

To quote JKR (and Hannibal Smith), I love it when a plan comes together. 😂

Sure, no filters per se back the,n but plenty of ways to retouch a photo & at the time blokes like Watson were still understood to be tortured by intractable mental illness, & consequently attracted much pity & indulgence.

From a PR perspective, the stupidest thing Gender Identitarians ever did was to mount a successful campaign to be reclassified as sane.

Yes, a great read! Helen 💪

Thanks for this, well worth reading!

😁 I’ve not heard that one before. Will add to my collection of French idioms, ta.
