He's totally forgotten he's supposed to answer to the judge

OOOOOMMMMMGGGG the language!

Upton now saying that NC has to use language in the ways he demands.

He is heckling NC

Omfg! I just can’t take any more!!!

Heckles?

Woah, he's insisting on NC using 'cis'.

By not prostrating herself at his feet.

He's literally telling on himself!

My blood is boiling now.

We aren't going to start using "cis". It's nonsensical jargon.

Fuck off with the compelled speech

He cant help himself here, explaining how it all should work. But I dont think this helps him. He's policing her language. It shows how insufferable he is and how unwilling he is to budge on anything.

Now a lecture on clarity and unclear language

Language is important!! The fucking cheek!

Now he's pretending not to understand.

Fuck off with your cis. 🤬

"Clarity is important" Fuckin Hell

OHHH FFS YOU CONDESCENDING M* F**

At least now we have a court record for all the people who like to claim 'nobody in real life believes/says this'

Yes they do and it has real life effects.

I hope NC does give him clarity and clear language with both barrels.

he ie staying to bully people to use TA terminology, its a trap
What a turd.

The irony- DU stating the need for clear language!

Blood literally boiling.

BU to NC ‘The way you use language is deliberately misleading’

OMG he’s lecturing NC on how important language is.

NC is talking about women
BU ‘cis’ women

So he won't participate in the cross examination unless they use genderist terms.
