Can we have a Julie Burchill appreciation thread?

For those who don't know, she's the author of "Sugar Rush" and has written many pro sex/ anti gender op-eds over the years.

She's just posted that she has an abscess on her spine.

More power to Julie’s pen - superb writer and long may she continue!

She recognises an ex friend giving her a vicious kick anonymously below the line of one of her pieces and simply sees it as an opportunity for another article. Viva la Burchill!

For some reason reading that brought to mind the song from Top Gun, 'Mighty Wings'. Then I realised it was playing in my head as 'Mighty Wheels' 😳😄

Go Julie on your mighty wheels!

Poor Julie, hope she is better soon.
Was just looking at this nice photo of her when she was w Charlotte Raven.

Go Julie on your mighty wheels!

Well Julie is keeping on working, and as might be expected not holding back!

Bloody hell!

‘The NHS area of Surrey, Kent and Sussex – which includes Brighton – has sent more children to the NHS gender service than the whole of Greater London combined.’ A Brighton teacher told The Times: ‘What’s happening is worrying and many of us know it, but nobody wants to speak up and get shot.’

Definitely not social contagion.

I didn't realise I'd copied a link

Here's the archive if anyone wants to read it. Article from 2018, very prescient.

Yes indded. Among many paragraphs worth picking out that is astonishing - although not surprising.

In any other area of medicine if there were unusual clumps of an outbreak of whatever health condition, there would usually be some sort of investigation as to what might be the common (malign) influence creating this ill health.

Haven't schools been told to stop using the “trans inclusion schools toolkit” now?
