“hoisted by their own petard” never seemed more apt, if true

Of course lse have an issue here.

I do think there should be free speech on campus, but if you are researching and talking about this stuff and then lecturing about it, you need to have water tight ethics and be very transparent about it.

In this case, we have a problem and we've got questionable conflicts of interest involving vulnerable young people.

Thats not OK.

I hadn't realised that Breslow was a staff writer at Pink News. Can't wait to read Julie's article!

"Isn't it funny, but I was looking up Jacob Breslow on Penis News (I have written about the Mermaids scandal, coming soon) and saw yer fella was a 'staff writer'!!!! Only I must have read it wrong because he now is listed as a 'guest writer'. Screenshots were invented by the gods."

looking at the abstract from this study on harmful effects, I think it says that MORE harmful effects are experienced with commercial binders, compared with homemade efforts. It seems unlikely? I haven't got access to the full study. is it true??

Oh, a complicated tech excuse explains how Jacob Breslow was named as 'staff writer' on the Pink News article:

'People are falsely claiming that Jacob Breslow reported for @PinkNews. He didn’t. We published a guest article by him via @pointfoundation at which he was a scholar in 2007. This was 4 years prior to his participation in the conference in the news today.

The article was published using our pre-Wordpress content management system and imported to Wordpress. This and hundreds of other articles lost assets including author names and images for guest writers. The article has been updated to direct readers to today’s news story.'

JKR has replied to that tweet.

I think she speaks for all of us.

So lack of due diligence at Pink News too. That would explain the Ben Cohen tweet then.

Up to neck in doggy do too.

My oh my. How could that possibly have happened.

Benjamin Cohen's tweet:

'As a charity trustee for over a decade, it is clear to me that Mermaids must review its governance procedures following this disturbing revelation'

Is that the same "Ben Cohen" whose despicable website published this pro-incest piece?

"So, between twins of the same-sex, where there are no grey areas regarding consent or abuse, and there’s absolutely no chance that either will conceive, why not?

We wouldn’t like to say – but it’s an interesting theory."

So the 'hidden' agenda is finally being brought into the light. I wonder how many children have been utterly messed up so far.

Yes! Finally!

Jacob Breslow 'Ambivalent Childhoods' Book Launch

Are you sitting down?
Penis News are actually sort of critical..... well, at least not defending it.
Little feet a splashing.......

JKR has now tweeted with a link to the Times article.

I actually feel quite emotional for her. When she first put out that 'people who menstruate' tweet and opened the gates of actual hell, Emma Watson watched the disgusting abuse rain down on her and responded to that abuse by suggesting that people donate to Mermaids, without ever even mentioning the abuse, let alone condemning it. It must have hurt Joanne on some level to be betrayed like that, by someone who presumably she was close to at one point.

Even on that tweet, people were saying that one day Emma is going to feel very embarrassed. I think that day might have come.

Breslow spoke at a conference chaired by Sally Hines

Do you think that finally Ben Cohen is seeing that queering everything is really really unhelpful to gay and lesbian people who just want to get on with their daily lives and do not want in any way to be associated with paedophilia?

One talk is "Intimacy as Method in Trans Sex Research."

Sounds a bit like that bloke from Manchester and his "Wanking off to child porn as Method in Trans Sex Research" schtik.

ScreamingMeMe · 04/10/2022 17:12

Glinner has summarized what we know so far. (I missed that Mermaids had Breslow on a hidden list - that looks even worse for them!)

'I quickly joined youth groups and raised awareness of LGBT people at my school.

(Not at all relevant, but I can think of some disgusting bullies who 'raised awareness of LGBT people at school' by pointing and sneering "YOU'RE GAY, UURGHHH" at individuals, so this sort of thing is what springs to mind....)

That thread links to the longer one below

I fear there will be a lot of
'Our just and righteous cause has been derailed by those awful terfs who pecked and pecked until they found evidence of evil sleepers who had infiltrated our organisations.'

picklemewalnuts · 04/10/2022 17:40

'We're just naive innocent little rainbow people who couldn't possibly have been expected to see the GLARING SAFEGUARDING DISASTER in our policies, because we're not as evil minded as those awful terfs!'
