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.

I watched his interview on Triggernometry a few months ago and it seems he's now pro Trump and thinks that the US is the greatest place on Earth. It was a very strange watch

Probably because British TV and the comedy industry refuse to let him work, whereas he can make a comedy series in the US.

If you were prevented from working in country A and moved to country B to work, you'd be praising it wouldn't you?

I’ll happy eat a Caramel Wafer every day - I’m not committed enough to eat a Teacake though.

WarriorN · 25/04/2026 10:05

To add, I’m not going to condone when he’s been a twat nor agree with all his views. I’ll certainly read the things he’s documented as it’s excellent evidence.

I don’t mind a bit of Father Zack. But I still remember spitting image.

WarriorN · 25/04/2026 10:02

The mistake here is thinking there’s such a thing as a “GC feminist” or a “GC arena.”

Feminism centres females; clue is in the name.

Women are female.

There’s a wider discussion about safeguarding and how fetishising males have used and influenced social and political and medical movements for their own benefit and gains. Part of that has been acting in controlling and abusive ways to shut down any criticism or debate about what they’re doing. Glinner has spent a lot of time both experiencing this as well as researching this, and exposing it. The safeguarding harms affect women and men, girls and boys.

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?

TWETMIRF · 25/04/2026 10:00

I have never eaten any Tunnocks product. Do I have to stop being a gender critical feminist?

Wearenotborg · 25/04/2026 09:50

It so is. As part of the “Borg” does this mean I have to eat tunnocks on a daily basis or can I skip that bit….

Why would you not want to eat Tunnocks everyday?

Helleofabore · 25/04/2026 09:57

“If it wasn’t for Gc feminists many other people would be saying this.”

How would people be speaking up about the issues if it wasn’t for the feminists pointing out the issues in the first place?

Have you spoken up and worked towards getting the government and organisations to make changes? How would you have had any depth of information to draw on to do that without those feminists you have disparaged and insulted?

And I am not quite understanding how feminists have made a mess of it?

I'm sure I could somehow manage to make the sacrifice of having to eat a teacake every day. It's a tough job but someone's got to do it.

Resistance is futile innit.

isnt it funny how all “GC feminists” are lumped together by this poster. Apparently we’re one big hive mind. Or the Borg? Maybe im lying in my user name..

Right so you’ve no argument and you’re going for personal insults. What a shocker. Entirely surprise move from the Gc feminists

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

I just see Father Zack in that.

He’s taking the piss, as the creator of father Jack.

Zack is dangerous and ridiculous. In my opinion so is Trump, though their alternative was equally so. Trump and Zack have common ground in terms of their ability to manipulate and fool people.

We can all be independent thinkers. And separate comedy from reality.

Father Zack 😁

The narrative that you said- that you can’t change sex and that men aren’t women. Thankfully it’s not mostly Gc feminists who are saying this. So now everyone else is saying it the Gc feminists don’t own the narrative. They made a complete pigs ear of it when they did.

If it wasn’t for GC feminists you could be sacked with impunity just for questioning the opposing narrative.

Humans are tribal. We may not like it, but it is hard to get away from. So if someone adopts a GC stance and is thrown out of the “left tribe”, they find themselves homeless and lonely. So if the “far right” tribe start being sympathetic, it is likely they will be lured in that direction and adopt other far right ideas.

that is why is is so important to keep a “big tent” approach to many political issues and not shun those who disagree on one issue. It just turns friends into enemies.

And also why you/we should get off social media and don't rely on it for y/our political education,.
