I’ve been doing some sniffing around in the output and chatter coming out of some LGBT groups especially those that are LGBT in name only, because they are controlled by trans activists and have found that they are currently afflicted by a wailing and gnashing of teeth. Apparently those who think that chopping young men’s penises and young women’s breasts off is a suitable way to deal with gender self image issues, are extremely upset that the founder of the Transgender Trend group, Stephanie Davies-Arai, has been awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM).
For me I wish nothing but congratulations to Stephanie Davies-Arai. She has been a voice of sanity in the trans debate and is one of those who have asked some awkward questions of the trans movement and especially about how this movement worryingly committed to the idea of the transitioning of minors. Because she has asked these awkward questions, questions that the trans movement doesn’t want to honestly answer, she has become a hate figure for the trans lunatics. In addition to her work with Transgender Trend, Stephanie Davies-Arai was also instrumental in getting the Health Secretary to take an interest in what the trans activists were doing to children using NHS resources.
The work done by this stalwart of common sense and humanity in informing parents of the cult of trans and how it is affecting their children has had immense positive influence. She has probably helped to save hundreds maybe thousands of children from becoming enmeshed in the worst and most troubling aspects of an already destructive gender identity cult.
This award of the BEM is justly deserved and the fact that it is upsetting the lunatic trans activists who believe in transitioning minors, is a fabulous bonus.
A well-deserved award indeed.
Were J K Rowling to be similarly honoured, the trans-nutters’ heads would explode!
At last, there is the possibility of an end to this obscene madness of child abuse.
Morning! I can’t begin to unpack how I am feeling about all this, I have been sitting on it for several days now. Suffice to stay I come from a starting point of wanting to learn, research, and consider all viewpoints and available information before arriving at a political viewpoint or position.
There is a difference between tailoring available information to come to a wanted conclusion, and mulling over the information and being open to where it may lead.
There is also a difference in this process between coming to positions as either opponents or enemies, opponents can discuss and enemies can only fight with hate speech as one weapon.
And so to the bottom line, if you persist in using dehumanising language such as dismissing trans people as ‘lunatics’, or attributing conspiracy theories to leftists, or even your subjective dislike of them, we be all become enemies instead of opponents who could benefit from discussions and the possibility of finding some common grounds to move forward from.

OK I’ll bite. I’ve also learned and researched but I have come to different conclusions about this issue. I used to have a very liberal view of the whole gender issue which came from knowing more transsexuals than the average person might as I was involved for a while in putting on some LGB events and such events did attract a transvestite/transsexual clientele. I have had a delightful and wonderful post op trans ex girlfriend who helped me immensely when I was emerging from a psychologically abusive relationship. I’ve had the privilege to see on stage some of the great drag acts of the late 20th century Drag Revival, who are sadly no longer with us such as Adrella, Regina Fong and Dockyard Doris. I’ve socialised and worked to organise events with some spectacularly outfitted Transvestites and as you may understand I’m not unfamiliar with worlds that are poles apart from mainstream society.
I took a live and let live attitude to the gender experimenters but as time went on and I encountered evidence that made me understand that not all tht the trans activists were saying was either truthful nor particularly scientific or even based in reality. I experienced trans activists trying to bully me into making one event all about them rather than the group that were putting the money up for the event and met detransitoners and those for whom transition had not worked in the way that they had been told it would by trans activists.
I still support the right of adults over the age of 21 or even better 25 when the brain has finally finished developing, to make of themselves a simulacrum of the opposite sex. However we also need to recognise that this simulacrum is just that a simulacrum. A trans woman is not a woman she’s a transwoman. Biology matters especially in those areas where biology is a defining characteristic such as with childbearing and sport.
As regards your comments about tone I can think of a whole lot worse words than ‘lunatic’ to describe some of the trans extremists that I’ve encountered over the years. With the worrying amount of concentration that many trans activists have on children and on transitioning children then maybe ‘lunatic’ is too kind a word. ‘Groomer’ might be more appropriate. One of the groups that I was referring to with regards the anger at the award to the founder of Transgender Trend is indeed dominated by trans activists and does include those who are favourable to the concept of transitioning children. I’m a parent. I would not trust my seven year old child with an electric drill yet trans activists want children much younger than this to believe that they can magically change their sex. It is morally right to be opposed to stuff like this.
Common ground is good, common ground is admirable but can there be or should there be common ground with those who believe that men should rob women of sports trophies specifically intended for women, take up positions reserved under the Sex Discrimination Act for women or as in the case of the Crown Prosecution Service’s new man in a dress ‘speak out’ officer (who gets £27k for four days per month work) to abuse women online or win a women’s leadership award? I don’t think they should. I find it difficult to have common ground with men who want to invade women’s spaces and who are in there not because they’ve been invited in by women but because they have forced their way in using the law, cancel culture and sometimes the threat of violence.
‘Lunatics’ is a reasonable word to describe the unreasonable extremists of the trans movement.
*we all – typo, sorry
No worries about typos we all make them. I mentioned Sophie Cook the CPS ‘Speak out’ employee in my previous reply. It’s worth reading the whole article on them from Graham Linehan’s Substack page https://grahamlinehan.substack.com/p/sophie-cook-the-cps-and-speaking?s=r
Cook is an iffy character and illustrates just how far the cult of trans has infiltrated the various agencies of the state and how it undermines women and women’s rights.
