What is in the water this week?! Glinner now making a mockery of the cause

I know I know I should just get off twitter but this week is just back to back GC news and not in a good way.

If you haven't seen, Glinner posted a video mocking Green Leader Zack Polanski, understandable plenty of material for a comedy writer there, but the video is so unhinged and unfunny.

Some speculating Graham was drunk when he made it but it's been 24 hours and he's left it up so maybe not.

I feel like we are finally gaining real ground in this fight and this makes GCs look like a bunch of lunatics.

I know there is no formal hierarchy but like it or not, for better and worse, we do have public faces and 'spokespeople' for this fight and this is just embarrassing.

I just feel so helpless because there can't be any accountability for this kind of thing but my God.

Thanks for listening to my rant, just been a very frustrating week.

Ah yes, I've been expecting this argument to start turning up once the harms of Genderism become undeniable.

"Until it's unavoidable, and then it will be the TERFs fault for being bad people who were right for the wrong reasons, causing the good people to have mistakenly been wrong, but only wrong for right and good reasons."

"RSOH will smoothly elide the sides until they have executed a 180 turn without ever directly admitting it. TERFs will still be the bad witches, only now our crime will be that we were so hateful and mean, and almost certainly also homophobic, sex essentialist racist right wing loons, that TRSOH very understandably thought trans issues were the same as all our other crazy prejudices.
Yes, it was all the TERFs fault because our unhinged and unreasonable hate of trans people hid the real problems. That TERFs might have been right on this one will be just a coincidence - we weren't right because we actually understood what was going on or did the research that TROSH didn't, or really cared about the damage being done to women and to trans identifying children, it's just that our blind hate of difference and change happened to stumble on an actual issue.

No, I believe in biology and I'm not far right. My point is people who were posting things regarding GC that I agreed with were also posting far right tosh and racist posts and it caused me to disengage with the movement. I think that the far right have latched on to this issue, and are poisoning the GC arena.

It’s possible to agree with some views that people hold but not others? I feel the same as you about some GC “spokespeople”, I just unfollowed them. It doesn’t mean the cause isn’t worthwhile.

To be fair, when it comes to Father Zack Hypnotits, sex is an ecumenical matter.

Your bigotry is making me feel unsafe.

Your exclusion of non Tunnocks eaters is a symptom of your widespread hatred for anyone that doesn't conform to your outdated views. I am so vulnerable that I will start a campaign to get you sacked, publicly vilified and banned from being within 1 mile of any Tunnocks product.

I'm vegan so will consume things presenting as Tunnocks while realising they are not as good as the real thing. I'm so confused about how I should react to them. Is there any training available?

I mean, he’s laughing about a man who said he can hypnotise people’s breasts to grow bigger. I think that’s worthy of mockery myself.

Maybe he’s hypnotising transwomen and saving them the price of surgery? Maybe they think their breasts are bigger?

people’s ?

LovesLabradors · 25/04/2026 11:17

I'm not remotely surprised that Glinner's singing Trump and the US's praises - he's been through some truly unbelievable harassment by TRAs and UK police. Now he's gone to the US where free speech is literally written into the First Amendment, and finds he's not constantly harassed and arrested for stuff he's written.

He came back to the UK last year and was promptly arrested by armed police - for a post on X.

The UK police have allowed themselves to be used as a private prosecuting service by some of the worst TRAs imaginable - they have made themselves and the whole of UK policing look like fools as a result.

As for Zack Polanski, he's such an imbecile he's practically beyond parody.

No I don’t see myself as a feminist. But I drop in here for the information from time to time.

What has feminism ever done for you?

If you're a woman ...the right to vote, access to birth control, the right not to be raped within marriage, 'better' pay, more opportunities, single sex spaces....

thirdfiddle · 25/04/2026 11:03

Actor? Don't think graham was ever an actor. He's had a go at stand up comedy I believe, if that is a sample I'm not sure it's going to take off. Zach and his hypno tits are thoroughly deserving of mockery, to the extent perhaps the best delivery would be deadpan. It doesn't require effort.

Or maybe I haven't seen enough of Polanski speaking to get the joke. He's bad enough in writing.

Graham has put his career on the line to speak truth when so many others wouldn't. I thank him for that. Nobody should be judging the gender critical feminist movement by him, he's not even a woman. It's not a movement that really operates by figureheads and I rarely agree 100% with anyone at all, but there are so many amazing women I'd put up as a representative before Graham. My personal starting point is Helen Joyce, such a good communicator.

Stop making me hungry with all this Tunnocks talk!

Awww no sorry, does our humour not meet your exacting standards? Oh dearie dearie me. How can we live with ourselves? Maybe you’re more of the “playing a piano with a penis” kind of humour?

Ummm…you called them racist? Not gonna lie, you’re not coming off as the voice of reason here.

I'm going to believe that sex is real however other people who also believe that behave. If well known fellow GCs do something that 'disappoints' others that isn't going to make me think "well bloody hell, turns out that putting on a dress and calling himself Suzie actually makes a man a woman, how wrong I have been!"

Wearenotborg · 25/04/2026 10:40

Um… ladies, don’t forget we’re supposed to be humourless. You’re making that PP out to be a liar with this hilarity.

Why would you not want to eat Tunnocks everyday?

I’m trying to lose weight. I men, if I’d got this supposed money we’re all getting, I could have just got lipo, but it appears to be not forthcoming, so old fashioned way it is lol.

So, what’s the plan for next week?

An exposé of Maya Forstater leaving a disappointing shopping list in a trolley, thus proving the WHOLE OF GENDER CRITICAL FEMINISM is built on a house of cards?

It does seem so. There is a pattern of ‘I am GC … but ‘ type of posting that has been very prevalent since Easter. It is almost like the idea is to sow division to weaken the movement.

That’s a bit Tunnock-lite.
