A summary would be good and I might do one later but Aston, data scraping, astonishing lack of contrition…

But they're still easy commuting distance to GCHQ so anyone training in stealth surveillance, mind control techniques and AI enhanced ditto will continue to find it useful.

'Transphobia' exists, sure. Go look into violent men, ffs, not monitoring the speech of mothers discussing women's rights. It's absurd.

Absolutely @ArabellaScott

And I always think that if one's view of the discussions of women's rights is to immediately see it as 'transphobic' then one needs to examine one's own misogyny.

I decided to read a bit more about everyday anti-language by reading Anderson’s cited paper. However, I haven’t yet found a definition of anti-language. The paper seems to use applied linguistics to analyse posts on X for examples of doxxing trans people. Admittedly I’m still not sure how the methodology deployed by applied linguistics is anything more than this person says what I say they say.

Her definition of transphobia is interesting. First, framing of single sex spaces as ‘public’ eg Trans-exclusionary radical feminists, or TERFs, typically call for the exclusion of trans women and people from public spaces like women’s bathrooms, or services designed to support women escaping domestic and family violence (Anderson 2026:391).

Second, this quote - out of all the possible quotes taken off X - is the one they use as an example of ‘misrepresenting gender affirming care’ for the purpose of ‘fear mongering’:

"Trans" ideology is sexist, Homophobic, anti-safeguarding of the vulnerable - especially children, pro breast removal, pro endocrine damage, pro steralization, pro sexual dysfunction, pro castration, pro surgical nullification, pro doxxing, yet were accused of "transphobia"?

Are those not factual representations of gender affirming care that results in double mastectomies, cross sex hormones, ‘bottom’ surgery resulting in the loss of the clitoris and penis, which by that very fact makes the person no longer capable of either orgasm or fathering/bearing children? Yet that’s an example of trans exclusionary / transphobic hate speech online.

It’s also interesting that out of 77,000 tweets analysed, only 9 actual posts are included verbatim and half of those are ones made by transgender individuals. And none of the posts seem particularly hateful or doxxing, which is odd given the declaration that posters on X are making hateful and horrible comments to transgender people. I wouldn’t be surprised if some on X do make dreadful comments to/about transgender people, so why not include actual hate speech to support the claims being made in the paper?

'Randoms on the internet talk a lot of shit' may be a better title?

If this is how the security services are recruiting then its even more worrying than I thought.

Perhaps someone finally worked out how to make a 'someone on the internet is wrong' PhD.

I am so tired of the word salad bullshit and woeful comprehension skills used to condemn women fighting for their spaces, their language and their rights.

And to have it done by other women? I just do not understand the mindset or motivation.

They come after us because we're soft targets. Also- mother issues.

That's definitely taking one for the team! Thank you for the highlights.

So much this.

I also see it as a way of appeasing potentially violent men. Attacking women who say 'no' can be a form of 'do it to Julia' IMO.
