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.

Complaining you've been cancelled in the House of Lords and whining about trans people is not feminism, or activism.

You can keep them cheers. Women in the UK have actual problems.

No one is whining about 'trans people'. I don't see us "whining" about trans men. I wonder why that is?....? This is about males. And you know it.

any response to the numerous reasonable questions posters have asked of you, or are you just capable of coming at it with bile and fury (when you have no discussion points or actual fact based points to offer)

This week Róisín Murphy made a fantastic speech in Westminster, Graham Linehan's vexatious conviction for criminal damage was overturned, and Helen Joyce's book Trans was named in The Times newspapers' 25 best non-fiction books of the 21st century. Everyday Irish people are extremely proud of them and yet the media here in Ireland ignores their achievements.

The UK sees the worth of these valiant Irish people better than the establishment class in their home country.

I’m confused @TransParentlyAnnoyed , aren’t children as young as 10 able to make the life altering choice to go on puberty blockers? So how come those kids are totally responsible and mature enough to make these permanent choices, but a 17 year old (if we believe Tarquin),is too young to face the consequences of their actions? Both things cannot be true.

Apparently we are to be distracted by being accused of hate and other things that cross over to abuse and not expect an answer to that contradictory position.

A trans child remains a child, dude.

You don't speak for women, the vast majority of whom aren't tramsphobic.

A trans adult remains an adult, sir.

I speak for the overwhelming majority of women, as poll after poll after poll shows. They aren't femphobic misogynists like you.

Brilliant typo, well done..

Supporting the harassment, misgendering and abuse of a someone who.was a child at the time tells me exactly who you are.

He was claiming to be 17 in 2022, he can't still have been 17 in 2024 when the phone incident happened. Although we all know the reality of biological sex is a challenge to men like Tarquin, so maybe age is a problem too...

He's not a child, he's a great hulking man. I've been at LWS when this great hulking man was circling us, shouting abuse. He was, on that occasion, removed by the police, which was very welcome.

I remain pleased that his vexatious litigation against Glinner has failed - Tarquin turned up on that day to deliberately provoke the exact situation that arose - he's so dim he even admitted in court that Glinner would be a good "scalp" for the TRAs. I'm glad he failed.

I have no issue with trams, I use them frequently.

Agree. But please don’t get me started in Trolley Buses. Devil spawn that they are.

SionnachRuadh · 03/05/2026 12:03

For someone who's still quite young (though how young is a mystery), Tarquin has quite the track record of stalking and harrassing women who are, as a simple matter of fact, smaller and weaker than he is - therefore vulnerable.

It was Tarquin's miscalculation, egged on by the older men he thinks are his friends, that it would be great fun to goad a man who's bigger than he is.

The judge didn't quite say FAFO, but she may as well have done.

SHE was a convenient target when no trans women were at the Olympics, and is a fantastic role model to Algerian girls. They look up to and respect her.

Calling her a man is racist and misogynistic af.

HE is a fully intact male with a (micropenis) penis and (internal) testes. Calling a male a male is not racist or misogynist. He is a violent thug who beats up women and girls. He is not a role model to the oppressed female sex.

Also, jfc get out more and cure your ignorance. Trans people exist, have done so without your permission forever and will continue to do so.

Being trans is normal. It doesn't make anyone dishonest, or a criminal.

Hating minorities is hating minorities, whatever justification you give yourself for it.

People with schizophrenia, bi-polar and sociopathy 'eXiSt' too. What's your point? Just because something 'ExIsTs', does not make it valid or recommendable.

The female sex EXISTS and always has since day one, and our sex based rights EXIST, whether you want them to or not. Get over it. Women say no. Get over it.

But it's okay for adults to group together, bully and pursue her?.

She's not the one who was up in court.

But it's ok for adults to group together to defend a bullying, violent stalker?

He is the one who was called out by the judge as being untrustworthy and a stalker and harasser.

Transphobic people are very much having their cake and eating it when it comes to Sophia.

You're all very much aware that she's been influenced (by the sounds of it, manipulated) by older people, but want to attack her as well.

It's the eagerness to treat the actions of a vulnerable kid like a true crime drama which stinks here.

Again, this is deeply unheroic behaviour and none of it is feminism. Everyone calling her by that pathetic name is just complicit in the online bullying of a vulnerable young adult.

Firstly, it is HE. You may want to mis-sex a violent male all you want, but we won't.

Mis-sexing a male and defending his predatory and violent stalking is not feminist behaviour.

ThatBlackCat · 03/05/2026 11:56

TransParentlyAnnoyed · 03/05/2026 10:13

Child at the time of offence, vulnerable young adult at the trial.

Misgendering, harassing and participating in the abuse of Sophia is not heroic behaviour. It doesn't make you a feminist martyr, it marks you out as someone eager to kick down at a minorify.

Nothing about this horrendous online harassment, which you're clearly enjoying, is feminism.

He was not a child at the time of the offence.

Mis-sexing, harassing and defending a dangerous and violent male's stalking and harassment of members of the public, JUST because he agrees with your Ideology, is not heroic behaviour. It is predatory behaviour and justifies abuse.

Defending people against dangerous, violent, harassing stalkers IS feminism 101.

Now what group of people.argue 17 year olds aren't kids 🤔

The age of criminal.responsibility and age of vulnerability are different things, dude.

Weaponising poor James's suffering to justify your eagerness to bully a child is abject behaviour.

Any normal person. 17 year olds are late teenagers at the least, not 'kids'.

A violent and aggressive, strong teenage male is not 'vulnerable', sir.

Weaponising actual vulnerable people to justify your support of violent, aggressive, stalking, harassing males is abject behavior, and further - predatory behaviour.

SionnachRuadh · 03/05/2026 11:17

Calling people "love" and "sweetheart" when trying to put them in their place is a dead giveaway too.

this is just unbelievably ignorant. This athlete is male. People with intersex conditions have a biological sex and are either male or female.

It's just a wind up. Some men absolutely love winding women up and having a quasi legitimate platform to do it.

I think that you are again resorting to projection considering your posts on this thread so far.

So… let’s see. The explicit dishonesty mentioned was the direct contradiction to what Brooks’ actual background was to what he claimed. Brooks lied over a serious of months that he was a female detransitioner. When he was a male transitioner.

You cannot even keep up with what the fuck you are defending.

What is normal and honest about a male transitioner harassing women by declaring they were a female detransitioner to get access to a female only group? That is harassment, but not criminal harassment.

If it is not criminal harassment, does that make it ok in your opinion?

Or are you just here to continue to abuse and attack people who disagree with you?

You mean Tarquin the trans aged? He’s been a 17 year old for 4 years. It’s a time warping miracle? No sympathy for the women Tarquin and his crew have harassed and threatened then? Is this like your totally passing as a man teen who also always wears skirts and makeup?
