Just did a Google to catch any new relevant Nicola Sturgeon news.

Came across this piece by Linda Holt and it’s a corker! Holt attended SFW event in Glasgow on Sunday.

Extract:

The short answer to the question of what happened to transvestites, is that they have morphed into transwomen: a sexual fetish has been replaced with a gender identity. What was marginal, if not largely underground, is now “out and proud”, transformed into the most fashionable of progressive icons. It’s difficult not to see a similar phenomenon in the way that flashers and other kinds of sexual fetishist have disappeared from popular discourse to re-emerge as newly legitimised and celebrated members of the transgender community. As Miranda Yardley has argued, “the whole point of the ‘transgender’ movement is to politically homogenise a broad variety of behaviours foundational upon sex-based stereotypes and present this as a normalised, harmless (even vulnerable) minority, and this is done in a way that conceals the sexual imperative of this type of male behaviour”

Author is a local councillor who sits as an independent, website says it’s primarily conservative.

Looks great thanks for sharing, off to make a cup of tea

Well that covers all the bases!

Open mention of the A word is getting out there among journalists.

I love Miranda Yardley

She really helped me understand this stuff

Miranda is great on podcasts. Absolutely zero f*s given!

JacquelinePot · 08/02/2023 22:25

Yes, Miranda is a he and always says he doesn't ask people to call him she/her.

Thanks for the link, will read later

Lurking behind Nicola Sturgeon’s fallacious general claim is the idea that when it comes to transwomen, a man, by virtue of declaring himself a woman, leaves behind the class of men he belonged to, and cancels the statistical probability of being a threat to women that membership of that class signifies.

Thanks for posting, a great read

The same author has written a good summary of the idiocy surrounding men in women’s prisons:

Excellent, thank you for posting this.
I am tempted to say, at last! Although I know we have a long way to go…

Abhannmor · 09/02/2023 10:56

I find Miranda a very clear thinker. And he knows he is a man. Plus he's from Sarfend? A counterweight to Jack Monroe for my Terfy Essex friends.

zanahoria · 09/02/2023 16:47

I thought Miranda just did not give a shit about pronouns

teawamutu · 10/02/2023 08:29

Think The Famous Artist Birdy Rose is also from Southend. Is it the anti-Brighton?

I saw MY at an event once and he was brilliant, any podcast recommendations would be much appreciated.
