Quite extraordinary rant. In response to the 'GetTheLOut' protest at LondonPride.

Children's Convenor. I kid you not.

It will be interesting to hear the response from Dundee City Councillors following today's reporting in national press.

It'll interesting to hear their response after tomorrow's reporting in the Sunday press.

I'd like to see him sue for being called homophobic

'I'm not, honest mlud, I just think exclusive same sex attraction is morally wrong, is all'

Seems like he's quite the fan of online abuse:

How dreadful

Ooh there's a hell a lot of misogyny hiding under that transgender 'umbrella' isn't there? Dishing out hate and then claiming 'persecution' and victimhood. You're exploiting members of the community you claim to be a part of. That BBC story is a shocker. Glaring omissions and lack of context. And before you say anything, I don't condone death threats whoever they're aimed at but let's have the full story please.

Here's some more of the councillor's work, with a primary school.

And the LGBT Youth pack being pushed onto schools without government endorsement (this is the pack that's been launched without impact assessments as highlighted by the herald article - which also confirms the government back peddling after the FOI requests by Jess Walker highlighted the safeguarding issues/failures to consider the impact on other children).

Utterly vile

Well he sounds nice.

I'm still v puzzled. How is he trans?

If you look at the twitter bio/intro:
Councillor for the North East Ward, Scout Leader, Data Nerd, LGBTI (NB, they/them).

NB being 'non binary'. Which Stonewall considers 'under the trans umbrella'. It appears that 'they' have adopted the label to be a teflon shield against 'their' rampant misogyny. Who would have known that a regular misogynist would use the trans agenda to further their own misogyny? (rhetorical)

How can Mhairi Black stand up in parliament and talk about the online abuse she got like being called a cunt and then the SNP doesn't do anything when one of their councillors does the same to other women

Because the SNP are happy to throw women under the bus for the sake of being woke.

The good councillor's tweets are illustrative of the old saying that every cock needs a dunghill upon which to crow.

Because the SNP are happy to throw women under the bus for the sake of being woke.

Currently embedded in a 2014 PN article about Gegor Murray, is a video of a speech by Alex Salmond on receiving an award from Pink News in 2015.

At the beginning (after a quip to Rhona Cameron about lesbians' understanding what true discrimination is) he congratulates Benjamin Cohen (Pink News),

"ten years and you have made it to the heart of the empire"

I hope you're reading Gregor. Just to let you know you have confirmed my fears about the SNP and their policies. Another household and extended friend group who will never ever vote SNP. Well done.

2015 Pink News awards:

Rhona Cameron's speech giving PN 2015 best ally award:

Alex Salmond's response:

Important to acknowledge that this is cross party. Pink News promotes videos of many politicians' speeches made at their awards, receptions etc:

June 2018
'At PinkNews' Edinburgh Summer Reception, party leaders highlighted the need to focus on trans rights and to never become complacent in the fight for equality.'

Don't forget John Bercow's speech from Pink News reception in Speaker's House, just after the Government's consultation on the GRA opened?

"Bercow
"There’s still a huge challenge in terms of the trans community. We need to up our level of standing up for the rights of trans people. We shouldn’t allow people to peddle anti-trans messages under the guise of trying to protect other people’s rights. We shouldn’t let people muddy the waters in that way. It’s just not people screaming abuse in the streets – it’s sometimes people who have access to the media and can write articulately, and are using their position to push messages which I think result in very considerable and dangerous displays of hostility to trans people. Up with that we must not put, as Churchill might have said.”

What on earth is he doing? How can a supposedly-independent speaker intervene on something in the middle of the government consultation?"

I sometime think that the only way to bring an end to this lunacy is for everyone to identify as trans. After all it require no changes at all you just 'come out as trans'.

I think I'll plump for non-binary as they seem to be in the ascendancy of speshullness and it ties in with my men's jeans and my frilly bra, often worn together. My pronouns are many and varied.

Me too Macareaux . I’m in mannish trousers (Margaret Howell, I have standards ) but my otherwise blokey v neck jumper is pink. I’m very spesh and not at all boringly binary like wot all the rest of you are.

We are interrupting your scheduled discussion with a public service announcement.

Are a you a left wing misogynist? Do you want to call women cunts, or physically attack them and get away with it?

Introducing Blame A Terf. The new multi-purpose blame device suitable for all left wing misogynists.

Gregorious from Scotland '' I work in local government and I called women cunts on twitter, before Blame A Terf this sort of behaviour would have landed be in a heap of trouble, and would have been potentially career ending. But thanks to Blame A Terf my work colleagues see me as the real victim here''.

Wolfie from England ''I ran at an older woman and punched her in the face after publicly saying on twitter that I wanted to ''fuck terfs up''. Thanks to Blame a Terf I was able to present my actions as self defence''.

Blame a Terf, glosses over 99.7% of all incidents of left wing misogyny within the left wing community. Satisfaction guaranteed.*

Hahaha. Now ain't that the truth.

Brilliant herfemaleness

I look forward to more announcements!

Herfemaleness that memo has clearly been sent to half the Labour Party - do you think Owen Jones wrote it ?
