Gay Actor & Activist Simon Callow Attacks Stonewall & Self-ID

Simon Callow, the actor and veteran gay rights campaigner, has condemned the “strange turn to the tyrannical” taken by Stonewall on self-identification for transgender people.

Callow, who was involved in the anti-government protests that led to the foundation of Stonewall in 1989, said an “extraordinarily unproductive militancy” now surrounded its position. This uncompromising mood risked infringing women’s rights and could put pressure on young gay people to transition, he said, and it was a sign of the times that he felt nervous about the reaction he would stir up, simply for expressing his views.

He should expect a firestorm of “incoming ordnance” from the militants.

“Everything can be discussed” he says.

Unfortunately, the “Black Pampers” of the previous post are not interested in discussion.

Callow is best known for his roles in Amadeus, Four Weddings and a Funeral and Shakespeare in Love.

Incivility

Feminists on the Left, Antifa ‘Black Pampers’ on the Right


There has sometimes been an anarchistic impulse in street supporters of Gender Ideology. An unholy amalgamation of Marx, Freud & Nietzsche spills out of them uncontrollably. They scream against ‘oppression’. They idolize ‘sexual desire & fulfillment.’ And they pronounce a pox on all ‘metanarratives.’

Like the one which says biology really, really matters.

Ironically they pine most aggressively for ‘inclusion’ and yet are some of the most ‘exclusive’ bloaks you’ll ever meet. Masked men in black, screaming at women face to face. Women gathered to champion Sex-Based Rights. Women who pine for female spaces where biological men with fully intact penises shouldn’t be allowed to enter.

You don’t need to always agree with Gender-Critical Feminists to defend their right to peacefully press their urgent concerns. And persuade citizens to support their cause.


An organizer of a Bristol, UK women’s gathering, Kellie-Jay Keen, (woman in green below), a so-called TERF (Trans-Exclusionary-Radical-Feminist), was confronted by a particularly uncivil anarchist.

He’s the one who called her a ‘fascist piece of sh##!’

Antifa-Anarchists are not especially known for elegant articulations. Dramatic intimidation seems better suited to push ‘dinosaurs’ like Keen toward extinction.

Or so they think.




Black Pampers

Bottom row of previous image was an event held a few weeks ago in Manchester, UK. One Black Pamper is seen ‘manhandling’ a feminist for daring to fly a suffragette flag in front of a statue of suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst.

You will find similar confrontations on college and university campuses across the western world.

Our ‘children’ need to grow up.

Is this the world we want to live in?

FINA Finds The Courage To Save Women’s Swimming

No major sport has had officials brave enough to tackle the divisive issue of transgender participation — until now.

Swimming's world governing body (FINA) has voted to effectively ban transgender athletes from competing in women's elite races.

The new policy requires transgender competitors to have completed their transition by the age of 12 in order to be able to compete in women's competitions.

A statement from FINA said that male-to-female transgender athletes will be eligible to compete only if "they can establish to FINA's comfortable satisfaction that they have not experienced any part of male puberty beyond Tanner Stage 2 (of puberty) or before age 12, whichever is later".

Nearly 72% voted for the ban!

FINA will explore creating an Open Category for Transwomen (biological males).

Athlete Ally, an LGBTQ athletic advocacy group, responded to the announcement and said the eligibility criteria is "discriminatory".

They posted on Twitter: "[It] is discriminatory, harmful, unscientific and not in line with the 2021 IOC principles. If we truly want to protect women's sports, we must include all women."

Finally, some sanity on behalf of women competitive swimmers. Hopefully other sports will find the courage too. Australian Rules Football, your turn!


Hannah Mouncey, who transitioned at age 26, is 6ft 2 in and weighs 220lb. Mouncey is a biological male but participates in a female Australian Rules Football league and pulverizes female players on the field. A picture is worth more than words.

Is this fair? Or is there an intrinsic injustice of pitting one sort of sexed body against another very different sort?

I’m with the real girls on this one. And against the body deniers among us.
