Zack Polanski and the code

Has anyone seen any comment from Polanski regarding the EHRC code?

As far as I can tell, he's conspicuously silent.

His new nickname is Walter Titty

I do like that, it's very witty but I'm wedded to HypnoTit's or (HypnoBoobs for mixed company). 😂

"support the Good Law project in their appeal against the high court decision."

The funniest bit in this line is not the Supreme Court mixup with the High Court.

It is the idea that the GLP are going to help the Trans activist cause.

As we all know GLP are huge assets for the pro-women side as they keep losing cases and making case law for our position stronger see the recent victory against the NHS for one example of this. Moreover it is pretty clear the GLP attempt to challenge the SC decision has more or less fallen apart as was obviously going to happen.

GLP just got paid huge amounts to shuffle papers and post more fundraisers.

Keep paying them money Zack though remember to get the Council Tax sorted first.

💯 I agree.

He writes a very short post backing trans rights in a way that shows that he hasn't got a clue about the issue and can't be arsed to learn. He can't pass up a chance to show he's on the right side of history, especially when it costs him nothing (not even time to understand the issue or issue a proper statement) and can pass all the consequences onto women.

But he makes sure to support The Good Law Project, run by another glib, brogressive grifter. I assume he's hoping for mutual back-scratching from Jolyon.

Zach P reminds of some student drama teacher who thought he would be a hit with kids but in reality they all thought he was a bit of prat. There was some article in the Economist (I think) about how many thousands of posts he’d made or liked. A massive percentage of the ones he liked were those praising himself. As for the trans stuff I always get the impression that as soon as something becomes less fashionable they just move on to the next. Climate change, BLM, trans and more recently Israel Palestine - next year it will be something different again.

What is this High Court decision of which he speaks?

Does he mean the Supreme Court judgment?

I think he means the high court judgement on the interim guidance.
That's why he references GLP.

Just had a trawl through. They seem to be upset about pretty much everyone. BBC, Andy Burnham, Starmer, Phillipson, all newspapers, black women (yes a post entitled 'Black women and transphobia'), The Samaritans (its statement not aggressive enough), - you just lose count of who they're angry with.

"Why does everybody hate meeeeee?"

I think it is. Here's Zack Polanski's Bluesky post, supporting Sian's statement and the GLP

"Our community is scared and exhausted but we are fighting back." It's important that all of us who stand with the LGBTIQA+ community support the Good Law project in their appeal against the high court decision. Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️ greenparty.org.uk/2026/05/22/s...

Also it is put up or shut up time. Are the Greens going to try an attempt to stop the code in the Commons or the Lords? Is this just words or will they do something?

"5.10 If there is no resolution within 40 days by either House moving a fatal prayer motion against the draft Code, the EHRC may “issue” the Code under section 14(8)"

The code is so bad then try to stop it. Explain why women's rights don't matter on record.

Green legislators have done this before. Natalie Bennett did a Fatal Motion against the Public Order Act SI earlier this year in the Lords. See here:
https://protectthewild.substack.com/p/a-dark-day-for-the-right-to-protest

Any Fatal Motion will fail obviously. However more open debate is great for our side. Lets see who actually believes in human biology.

A dark day for the right to protest as draconian legislation passes through the Lords

Just a matter of minutes ago the House of Lords voted not to block the Government’s absurd changes to the Public Order Act (2023)

"Our community is scared and exhausted but we are fighting back."

It must be very 'exhausting' spouting all that violent rhetoric, all the stalking, the complaining to police, the doxing, the pile ons, the getting people sacked, the over the top hysteria. They must be really 'scared' because it hasn't worked, and they're slowly coming to realise that nobody's falling for the shite anymore. I bet they're scared shitless about now, they got nothing left with which to intimidate people with.
Whatever will they do now 😱

'Scared and exhausted' - more hyperbole. It feels manipulative and cynical.

They have to keep the panic levels high, with the false threats of oppression, marginalisation, violence, days of remembrance when no-ne has died, annihilation, literal genocide.
That way they keep the trans community in a constant state of hypervigilance about things that never happen.

A community under threat of oppression and violence has the right to defend itself by any means necessary, right? So that's how to 'justify' shouting down opponents and smashing windows and hitting women - it's self defence, isn't it?
Because we're scared and exhausted and threatened with genocide.

I'm sure lots of transpeople see through that hyperbole and know it doesn't have a basis in reality. But obviously many buy into it, possibly the younger and more vulnerable ones? and lots of them will be out tomorrow in Parliament Square.

Bunnyofhope · 22/05/2026 22:43

He can say whatever he likes about the code, his time is already passed. He achieved peak popularity on about day three of his reign. Before anyone had heard him say anything. He's pretty much a spent force now.

I also noticed how little attention is paid to the small voices of posters who are obviously really struggling with mental health issues - maybe not sure they're trans, not sure they even want to be trans, don't know how to meet other trans/talk to people, sometimes openly saying they're autistic. In short, struggling and lost. And they're ignored mostly, the popular transreddit threads are the angry ones.

Great thread title - 'Zack Polanski and The Code' sounds like a YA novel, doesn't it?😄
How dim are they - or how dim are they prepared to pretend to be in order to placate the trans lobby?
All of the comments under ZP's Bluesky statement are poor lovely lovely oppressed marginalised transfolx with a helping of anti-GC hyperbole e.g.
a group of nostalgic, change fearing sociopaths -
that's a new one, at least it shows a bit of originality, I don't remember having been called a 'sociopath' before😏

I see there's going to be a 'Trans Emergency' demo tomorrow in Parliament Sq because trans rights are under attack. I bet it will be big and noisy and full of totally irrational banners and placards aimed at keeping up the panic levels, and someone will do something anti-social and/or destructive.
Just guessing....

I thought the thread was going to be Dan Brown’s new novel, ‘The Polanski Code’.

In all honesty, I should think it is exhausting simply trying to pretend, day in and day out, year after year, that you are someone you are not.

Do you know what, I honestly think this is just a side issue to them. They parrot the things they think they are supposed to say but haven't followed all the cases and legal arguments like we have. They just don't have the knowledge and probably aren't that interested, they just want to pick up votes so will go whichever way looks the most likely to be successful.

Yes, they are just acting as the mouthpiece for the now fading/flailing zeitgeist of a certain generation. Everything is about the predictable omicause issues.

WallaceinAnderland · 22/05/2026 19:55

Shortshriftandlethal · 22/05/2026 19:52

It wasn't a "high court decison", it was a Supreme Court ruling.

Honestly, what total amateurs.

One of these days, Zack is going to find himself at the wrong end of the stick with the TRAs, and we'll see then how he manages to wriggle out of that with his mental state intact.

I'm not surprised. He's doing the same as Starmer did and they were very upset with him too.

I suppose they were expecting an apoplectic rage but didn’t get it

there has to be a fine line even for the Green party to realise some things do not win votes
