UN Women UK: Pickard 1

Bobbie Pickard 1

As part of my series on UN Women U.K. I am going to have a look at all the men who have been chosen as delegates to the United Nations at a conference to represent Women. First up is Bobbi Pickard. There is quite a lot to cover on Pickard so this will be Part One.

Pickard came out officially. as a faux woman, in 2017. He has been employed as a senior manager with British Petroleum for much of his career, either directly or as a self employed consultant. He is also CEO of Trans in the City which we will cover more in Part Two. According to his linkedin he has a HNC in Electrical Engineering. As you can see from the above profile he also has links with Stonewall. He was also appointed a trustee of Mermaids in May 2020.

According to Mermaid’s accounts he was not a trustee for long. (Note the two anonymous trustees.). His departure from Mermaids was for personal reasons related to him having genital surgery. He regards the ex CEO of Mermaids. Susie Green, as a personal friend,

Pickard is a heterosexual man who has fathered two children, although he now describes himself as a lesbian and if you don’t like it, you can mind your own business!

When I find late transitioning males, who are heterosexual and claim to be Lesbians, I generally look for reports of early cross dressing which is, almost invariably, present. Pickard is quite reticent about how his gender identity manifested itself, prior to deciding he was a woman. He is at pains to deny any link to fetish or a sexual motivation as illustrated by this, now deleted, comment 👇 on his website. He favours a medical explanation.

The deletion of the above 👆 is interesting. Having read many of these narratives the reference to cross dressing, sometimes with an acknowledgement of the sexual motive, is a recurrent theme. Pickard does admit to dressing up at his nan’s house as a five year old. However, Pickard also talks about an over bearing father, who was injured when Pickard was a small boy, and became mentally unstable. He also talks about the roots in trauma for a cross sex identification which could be a factor or an attempt at deflection. I have had long discussion with a detransitioned man whose motive to transition was rooted in childhood trauma so I would not totally dismiss this interpretation. In any case this is the less interesting part of Pickard’s story as I will demonstrate in part two.

Pickard does have a twitter account @BobbityP but is not very active. I am blocked but it seems to mainly consist of celebrating various awards from LGBTQ+ organisations and there does not seem to be India Willoughby levels of vitriol. He claims that he is a very contented in his “trans” identity but there is one slightly unhinged reaction to a Boots question. The levels of male entitlement and, frankly, insanity to object to being asked your sex. Your sex is a good indicator of the propensity to some diseases and the likely severity.

This is not a casual bit of snark. The NHS is capitulating to the sex denialism and this is doubly disadvantageous to women because the default medical research subject is male. Like it or not, SEX MATTERS, Yes, even in flu.

Disorders of Sexual Development/Intersex

The insistence on a biological reason for his being “trans” is a recurring theme in Pickard’s appearance in the media. He seems to rely on Anne Fausto-Sterling who famously said being “intersex” (not “transgender”) was as common as being a redhead. She also claimed there there were five biological sexes a claim that has been subject to, at a minimum, serious challenge. Pickard makes this claim in a discussion with Peter Tatchell.

Fausto-Sterling’s claims have been comprehensively debunked in this article by Leonard Sax.

Fausto-Sterling also later claimed that her insistence on five biological sexes was tongue in cheek in this exchange with biologist Colin Wright.

Pickard and Peter Tatchell.

It is worth watching the discussion with Tatchell, in full if only for this astonishing claim by Tatchell.

I am not going to spend too much time on Tatchell, for the purposes of this post, but I might add to my series on Tatchell which you can find here:👇

Peter Tatchell

He does deserve calling out this statement which attempts to paint feminists as the one unwilling to debate as if we don’t all recall that the #NoDebate hashtagcame from his side.

He will proceed to argue that those “trans” people who won’t debate are in fear for their safety; whilst not extending the same consideration to women. He also makes this statement before arguing that women are only partially oppressed on the basis of their sex. No, they are singled out more for their gender non-conformity which is, he thinks, why we should make common case with men who want to express themselves in stereotypical ways.🤷‍♀️

Pickard’s contribution is that he’s always been trans, has known since he was six. Since he partnered with a woman and had children, before coming out in 2017, I am a tad skeptical.

He then goes on to advance arguments about brain sex; female brain in a male body, then an appeal,to emotion that it was either “transition” or commit suicide. I won’t cover those arguments here because he repeats them in a one to one interview which I will cover next.

You can find this discussion here 👇

Peter Tatchell and Bobbi Pickard

Pickard interviewed by Emma Woollcott

Mishcon de Reya: An international Law Firm

Here is more information on Emma which contains the delicious irony that, among other things, she is head of reputation management and advises charities on reputational risk and data protection concerns. Think about this when they get on to discuss Pickard’s role as a Trustee of Mermaids!

I had a squint at Woollcott’s Linkedin and, of course she has pronouns in her bio and I could not resist adding this clip from her feed. Not only are women not just smaller men a massive bloke (or a small one) is never a woman! It’s is worth noting that Emma did an internship with the law firm Clifford Chance , who are themselves proponents of transgender ideology.

I will leave the revelations about the organisation Trans in The City until part two. I will cover Pickard’s theories about why he is “transgender” and his promotion of Mermaids.

Here is a link to the interview: 👇

Pickard interviews by a She /Her

Bearing in mind that this man goes into schools to promote his magical thinking.

Woollcott asks Pickard to describe his journey to coming out as transgender and why transgender people exist. She sets up the question by telling the viewer that he has done his research which lends a veneer of credibility to his theories. As above he goes the brain sex route:

I am highly skeptical about this claim after years of observing the hyper masculine behaviour of heterosexual men, who identify as women. There is research that suggest there are detectable brain differences between straight men and gay men so, those that don’t control for homosexuality are missing a confounding variable. Some studies also didn’t exclude the men who had taken cross sex hormones and did not allow for the impact of neuroplasticity. Could regular cos playing as women have had an impact on the brain due to neuroplasticity?. Reading the work of Dr Ann Lawrence, himself an autogynephilic male, also lead me to wonder if the sexual fantasies of those with autogynephilia also may have an impact on brain structure that is noting to do with female brains in male bodies.

You can read my series on Lawrence here:

Dr Ann Lawrence

Perhaps the stronger argument agains the prenatal hormone argument is identical twins where only one of them identifies as “transgender”. Based on my reading the result is higher than in non identical twins but nowhere near a 100% correlation.

I found his body language quite interesting at this point, looking down, fiddling with his hair and smirking. I would not be at all suprised if he doesn’t believe a word of it and this is an exhibition of dupers delight.

I find this argument, from Pickard, more plausible. A boy whose father suffered an injury and subsequent mental health issues at an impressionable age. Over identification with the mother, Perhaps the father was abusive to the boy, maybe even the mother. I could well imagine a rejection of being male when your own role model is so negative.

I was almost minded to sympathy at this point but the clear failure to identify with women’s concerns soon made me have a word with myself. Here he is on the proposed reform of the Gender Recognition Act. I have done a series on Gender Recognition Certificates this is fanciful nonsense. I also very much doubt so much political capital would have been expended on something that is “already the case”

You can read my series on Gender Recognition Certificates here: 👇

Gender Recognition Certificates

Where Pickard lost any goodwill I might have had was his schilling for Mermaids. The disgraceful lies about suicide which are easily debunked. Likewise the statement on puberty blockers, also easily disproved. 98% of those who start on puberty blockers, to block puberty from starting, progress to cross sex hormones. As a result they will be sterile and likely anorgasmic. Reminder that Pickard had children and, presumably a satisfactory sex life.

Those of us who have been writing about this for over six years can now point to the fact that puberty blockers are now banned, at least for under 16’s.

Claire Prosho

Hate Crime/ Non Hate Crime Incidents

I came across Prosho via a talk that he gave, to Essex Police, for whom he provides advice on hate crime. He does this in his capacity as Vice Chair, of the Thurrock Police, Independent Advisory Group. Here is a quote from that talk which was the impetus for me having a more in-depth look. (Thanks to twitter user @Jonnywsbell) In essence Prosho incited the police to treat women, who are fighting for sex based rights, as akin to terrorists. This is quite a serious claim.

You can watch that talk here.👇

Police Talk

In this talk, Prosho outlines the extent of hate crime, against trans people, claiming it is at record levels but also claiming it is under reported because “trans” people are afraid they will be dismissed. It is not clear whether he is actually talking about Hate Crime or None hate crime incidents. Hate crime involves an actual criminal offence deemed to be aggravated by the motivation for the offence; specifically if the crime is because of the monitored strands of race, religion, sexual orientation, disability and transgender identity. None hate crime incidents are not criminal offences but can nevertheless be recorded on your record. There is no strand that covers misogyny, so crimes motivated by the fact that you are a woman are not monitored.

Prosho is an expert in victimology. The many problems with so called non hate crime incidents is that it relies on the perception of the person, preemptively designated a “victim”. This can result in having a “non hate crime incident” (NHCI) recorded against you, without your knowledge, and with no chance to refute the allegation. It is extremely problematic to accept the subjective assessment of a man, who identifies as a woman, and may regard it as “hate” when a woman calls him a man. Notably the legally protected characteristic of sex is not included so women have no recourse, despite women being the sex who is murdered, at the hands of men, at a rate of three a week. “Transgender Identity” is included despite this not being a legally protected characteristic (Equality Act 2010).

There is also the opportunity to game the system as this exchange with trans activist, James Morton, shows.

Prosho uses his speech to criticise MPs, including the Prime Minister, for stoking hate against “trans” people. He also strongly criticised the police force, in general. I find it astonishing that the police sit meekly as this man exhibits attitudes all the hallmarks of ideological extremism.

Backstory: Fifty Shades of Gender.

Prosho is a late transitioning male who is a married, heterosexual, father with a history of cross dressing. In old money he was a transvestic fetishist. Indeed he admits to his life as a part time cross dresser and claims he struggled with the shame of believing he was a cross dresser and a fetishist. Now he can unburden himself of the shame by adopting the persona of a “transwoman”. He reveals this in the podcast below👇.

Fifty Shades of Gender

In what is a rather common narrative he claims that he knew he was different, from the age of ten, and he discovered that sex change was a possibility when he discovered Caroline Cossey (a man who passed as a beautiful bond girl). As he grew up he began part time, cross dressing and continued after he married with, he says, his wife’s full permission. He claims his wife took him on weekends where he could dress up and took photos of him which, when he could finally look at them, gave him a sense of euphoria. Again gender euphoria is a familiar term from these late transitioning men who share a common narrative with autogynephiles. (Autogynephiles are Men who are erotically charged by the idea of themselves as women)

He describes how he was an early adopter of digital technology, having been into video games as far back as the eighties. He also had some early experience with computer programming. A background in typically male pursuits, specifically computing, is a common thread in the narratives of these men who often have a hyper masculine history.

He describes how, after only two weeks on hormones, his bra straps began slipping because his shoulders had shrunk! He also describes how, after taking synthetic female hormones, he began to enjoy cross stitch, romantic films, housework and cooking. He claims he was very much accepted by his wife’s, female, friends and enjoyed being dragged onto the dance floor; something he would never have contemplated “as a man”. This account is reminiscent of the accounts I have read of behavioural autogynephilia.

Unsurprisingly there are some inconsistencies in his story. He claims that the hormones changed his behaviour dramatically, to be more feminine, but later, when he talks about his mother, he claims she treated him like a daughter and he helped with housework and he even helped choose clothes for her.

Unbelievably he genuinely seems to believe that, despite retailing in the most regressive, sexist, stereotypes, he is causing cisgender people to be fearful because of how easy he can adapt to the ways of womanhood and that he is actively undermining gender stereotypes.

At the end he claims common cause with women who are childless because of ovarian cancer because he feels the same grief, despite being a father, because he never had the experience of carrying and birthing a child. This a grotesque appropriation of a uniquely female experience, of this he seems to have a vague awareness but he nevertheless continues

The Ted Ex Talk

You can watch Prosho’s talk here: 👇

Prosho’s Ted Talk

Prosho claims that, on meeting him for the first time, most people comment on how natural he looks, before claiming that people are suprised because they have been fed a diet of anti-trans propaganda, by a biased media. This is one of his slides.

He instructs his audience to disregard everything they hear about “trans” people and then recommends the discredited charities Stonewall, LGBT Foundation and Mermaids.

Naturally he characterises the media coverage as misinformation, promoted by bad faith. right wing, actors with the intent to eliminate “transgender” people.

He describes some of the incidents that have nearly driven him to suicide. Being denied the correct pronoun and being sent to the men’s section at the opticians are the examples. I am surprised he survived these hate crimes. ( To state the obvious, glasses are different for males and females simply because men have larger heads and a different bone structure. 🤷‍♀️)

Aside from the usual dodgy statistics about suicide attempts in this “community” he also makes this claim which seems highly dubious and essentially unverifiable 👇

If you want to take in the full extent of his hyperbole the Ted Talk is a good place to start. It is the usual lies and half truths.

Transclusive Podcast: On the EHRC

This episode covers an investigation by Claire Prosho into the Equality & Human Rights Commission, based in the U.K. A 60 page document was written and submitted to GANHRI (Global Alliance of Human rights organisations) try to derail the re accreditation of the EHRC. Jane Fae is also involved in this podcast as are two others called Victoria Hodges and Violette Lundsden.

You can read more about Jane Fae below.

Jane Fae: Trans Britain (Part 13)

You can find Hodges, in Pink News, objecting to the idea that penis bearing males can’t use the single sex changing facilities.

Lundsden can be found raising funds for a boob job and sharing annoyance that breast cancer victims can get this surgery on the NHS.

The document and the discussion designates a number of women’s rights organisation as “trans hostile” and speculates that there may be Russian money behind this backlash. They seem to be very angry that the EHRC is (finally) allowing organisations like Fairplay For Women, Sex Matters, LGB Alliance, Women’s Place U.K. and Transgender Trend to be involved in discussions that impact women’s sex based rights. Bearing in mind Stonewall and other trans lobby group seemingly had unfettered access to the EHRC, until recently, while women’s groups were excluded.

They also delve into the the background of some of the EHRC employees and draw conclusions based on the legal cases they have been involved in. The commentators seem desperate to suggest that these women’s rights organisations are in danger of turning women’s rights back decades, in particular they imply that these groups are opposed to women’s reproductive freedom. They also characterise submissions from these groups, oh the irony, as chock full of misinformation and hyperbole. Many individuals are named in the document and attempts made to discredit them.

You can read the document here. 👇.

Steph’s Place EHRC GANHRI Submission.pdf – Google Drive

Reading the document the complaints from the trans lobby groups are the mirror image of gender critical complaints from 5 years ago: such as lack of media coverage and women’s rights groups being excluded from discussions on issues that impact women. Rather amusingly they seem pathetically grateful for ex BBC journalist Ben Hunte who now works for Vice. In a moment of candour Prosho admits that they did need help before they went public with the document as required some pruning if they were not to be hit by defamation charges.

This is the link to the podcast discussion you can also find it on YouTube. I highly recommend listening to this podcast to get an insight into the paranoia and conspiracy theories espoused by the contributors. I particularly enjoyed Jane Fae attacking free speech which is quite a turn up for the books from a defender of extreme porn. The reason for this volte face is that he does not support the right to express the belief that a man is not a woman.

Social Media Presence /Business/Translucent

Prosho has a You Tube account called after his social enterprise Claire’s Transgender Talks. This is not listed at Companies House or the Charity Commission. He has a website which provides testimonials from organisations who he has trained. Worryingly this includes those involved in fostering and domestic abuse.

Prosho is also involved in an organisation called Translucent, formerly Steph’s Place. along with another transidentified man called Steph Richards. Prosho’s duties appear to be the discrediting of the EHRC (Equality and Human Rights Commission), the Cass Review and the NHS.

Richards is listed as a CEO and Prosho a director, on e website but this is not reflected in the Companies House records which list one Translucent Community CIC which had Richards as a director but received a notice for compulsorily strike off, in January 2024.. A new entity, with the same name, was formed which lists Feminist Gender Collective as the sole director and this company can be traced back to Sally Hines.

You can visit Prosho on twitter at the following address, though you may be, as I am, blocked.

I had a browse though and he does indeed attack the Cass Review and he seems quite exercised by one JK Rowling. As an aside he did mention that he would love to be writing a novel but he is forced to spend his time fighting transphobia.

Prosho took part in a protest outside the offices of the EHRC which you can find on his youtube. He also recieved a diversity award, in 2022, where he can be find hugging, Freda Wallace, another trans activist. Small world.

Rikki Arundel

I first came across Arundel via a YouTube recording of him delivering training to staff from NHS Finance teams. Arundel is a heterosexual man, with a history of transvestism, who married, and fathered at least one child. He explains that following a £50,000 tax bill, and the subsequent breakdown of his marriage, he finally emerged as his “authentic self”, when his daughter was 14. So far, so predictable. I had to dig deep into his podcast history to glean this information. He had a long history of cross-dressing and claimed he disclosed this, to his wife, prior to their wedding. According to his narrative he agreed, at her insistence, to keep the cross dressing, under wraps, as it were, so it did not impact on the the children.

Companies

Arundel was also involved with quite a few companies/ charities which have either been struck off the register or went into receivership.

Here is a list of all the companies Arundel was involved with, the most interesting is Gendershift Ltd which lists him as the sole director.

Arundel was the one of the directors of Gender Shift Ltd, who appears to have recieved quite a sizeable investment from something called the Social Investment Fund which appears to have been via the Department of Health.

This company went into receivership and was compulsorily struck off, with the Secretary of State for Health listed in the receivers report on monies secured for creditors.

Another director is listed as Michael Pindar. I am going to go out on a limb and say he is the same person as this Michelle Pindar 👇 who was interviewed as an attendee of a “trans” support group in Hull. Another heterosexual, married, cross dresser. He is still listed as Michael in 2011.

Social Media Footprint.

Arundel is prolific and you can find his podcast, with 44 episodes, where he gives lectures on LGBTQ Issues, and also interviews other operators in this field.

In this one, link below 👇, he is open about his long history of transvestism starting with wearing his mum’s underwear. He claims this started at age 7 and that he accumulated stockings, suspenders and other underwear over the years. He would hid these items under his clothes and go out in public. In this interview he claims to have told his wife, prior to their marriage. We don’t have her testimony but he claimed she demanded he hide his secret. He also tells us he discovered he could learn more about transvestite issues by going to porn shops. He was also an early adopter of the internet which allowed him to discover on line forums where he could experiment with his identity on line and find other men with this interest.. With the change in social attitudes he no longer has to be furtive; men are no longer shamed into making their fetishes private and this is proving to be a big mistake for the rest of society.

On coming out

He then talks about a schoolmate who was bullied because he wore hand me down clothes and had female underwear on.  He claims he felt afraid but also jealous.

He’s not a woman, he is a man with a long history of cross dressing which is, almost invariably, for the purposes of sexual arousal.

He tells his audience a rather revealing anecdote about a woman, wearing a tight, orange dress and garnering huge amounts of attention from passing motorists. To Arundel it was clear she was revelling in the attention. He then claims to have had a similar impact on coming out as a “woman” .

Not content with that little fantasy he also claims to have been sexually harassed. This is a common fantasy in cross dressing men.

In this post he also defends giving children puberty blockers and argues that the surge in the rate of referrals, to gender clinics, is because there is finally a treatment. He clearly does not think he is part of the “non-passing” community.

In response to rising rates of concern that proto-gay kids or gay youth being referred to gender clinics he makes this astonishing claim. 👇. Trans activists get away with a lot of homophobia, which is all the more galling because he pretends to have been affected by section 28. This 👇 is precisely why Section 28 was enacted; politicians claiming that children were encouraged to be gay. 🤷‍♀️

You can also watch this YouTube which “educates” NHS professionals on LGBTQ+ issues.

Training NHS staff

in this presentation he tells his audience he was sent to a psychologist because of his inability to relate to his peers.  He claims he was identified as “gifted” and moved up classes, he then uses this information to suggest this was evidence of his “female brain” because girls are more advanced at that age. 

Here he laughs about the police calling on him because he was talking to children in a sexually explicit manner.

Bearing in mind the Dept of Health saw fit to give this bloke’s company a quarter of a million quid and he is earning money for professional speaking events and the quality of these talks is extremely low and unprofessional. This is the calibre of the information he is sharing to NHS professionals. Arundel has a Masters in gender studies and it shows.

If you can bear to watch the whole thing it’s replete with gender waffle including a guide to neo pronouns and the gender bread guide to gender and sex. He lies about suicide stats and advises attendees what they can do to promote the LGBTQ+ religion.

This is a slide he showed about his “coming out” at a works do 👇

This is from an interview he did for ITV news which confirms he goes into schools and he has a message for anyone who resists. “Get with the programme”!

Nice work if you can get it….

Gender Plus.

Long overdue post on the new gender clinic and who is involved. First up is Aidan Kelly who has his own series on this blog. Someone been busy removing links to existing YouTube content so there may be missing links. Here is a link to his series.

Dr Aidan Kelly

Gender Plus now has its own YouTube channel which you can access here.

Gender Plus

I have chosen to look first at an interview on the Times Radio channel, in the hope it interrogates Dr Kelly, rather more than the Gender Plus channel, which is really an extended advert for their profit making venture. Here is a link 👇

Gender Plus

Kelly is asked about the closure of the Tavistock, the controversy about using puberty blockers, high rates of referrals from the autistic community and detransitioners. Unfortunately he was not asked about why there are so many referrals to Gender Clinics, who are same sex attracted or from the looked after sector (Foster kids) or are adopted. This is a shocking omission.

Before I get into the meat of the interview someone at Gender Plus made a revealing choice of name. There is a book of the same name which is about a gay man who was successfully, he claims, converted into a happily, heterosexual, married man. I could not resist including this as Gender Plus are, indeed, in the business of converting self hating, gay men into a facsimile of a heterosexual woman. Surely the brand manager would have searched this before they chose that name? And note the email address.

( I checked companies house and husband and wife team have a company, now dormant, called Gender Plus Ltd. Gender plus have a company called Gender Plus Healthcare Ltd which lists Kelly as the sole director.)

Kelly does some serious P.R. for the new clinic trying desperately to differentiate their “offer” from the discredited Tavistock; this despite employing quite a few ex Tavistock personnel, in addition to himself. He pays lip service to respecting and including parents, “where appropriate”; claims that clients will be seen at least six times over a six month period and avoids the prescription of puberty blockers, for under 16s. He claims that there will be no pre-determined outcomes and clients who are too certain will be questioned; whilst still validating all gender identities. He acknowledges detransitioners and “gender critical” perspectives claiming he takes a middle ground. So far so good but let’s look at some of his pronouncements and omissions. This quote gives a good idea about the kind of interrogation potential “trans” patients will get.

Dr Kelly is a psychologist by training. He is also a member of W.P.A.T.H (A lobby group for “transgender” medicine and the British Association for Gender Identity Specialists.)

Gender Affirming Care?

He denies that he is a proponent of “gender affirmative” care but also claims all identities are validated by Gender Plus. I presume the client would be granted opposite pronouns, or neo-pronouns as per the client’s wishes. No doubt Dr Kelly considers this to be a matter of respect so I would love to see how he is able to explore the possibility that his client may simply be “cisgender”, after he has accepted this framing? It’s important to emphasise that one of these “identities” can involve lifelong dependence on pharmaceutical interventions and possible surgeries. In what other situation would the medical profession actively collude with a desire which leads to being a lifelong medical patient? Speaking as a parent I am unashamedly in favour of the identity that does not promote iatrogenic harm.

Kelly’s position is patient led so, ultimately, if the person persists in the desire for these medical interventions, he will support them. If the patient feels this is the best way of living their life then Dr Kelly is happy to offload the responsibility to the patient.

The debate on “patient” led care is occurring outside of the issue of “transgender” care. Some commentators embrace patients as “customers” and are averse to what they see as the paternalism of the medical profession. Others have written about the need for Doctors to take on the diagnostic role and development of a treatment pathway, citing risk of over diagnosis and over treatment, if totally reliant on the patient’s wishes. Dr Kelly is not a medical doctor but he is willing to take risks with other people’s health bodies. He justifies this with a concept he calls “safe risks”. How brave and self sacrificing is he?

Explosion of referrals to the Tavistock.

In the context of this branch of, so called, medicine the interviewer asks about the explosion in referrals to the Tavistock over recent times. This graph, from Transgender Trend, captures the scale of the increase since 2009.

Dr Kelly candidly admits that nobody knows why this has/is happening. He shows little curiosity about this expanding market, which now consists mainly of the, newly emergent, phenomenon of teenage girls; the cohort historically most susceptible to social contagion.

Kelly simply accepts this, relatively, new phenomenon as a genie that has escaped the bottle. After all this is how he makes his living.

Neurodivergent kids.

Asked about the high rates of autistic kids referred to Gender Clinics, Kelly seems to detect a whiff of ableism and is keen to champion bodily autonomy for autistic kids. Later in the same interview he explains that autistic patients have difficulty following social norms and they are more resistant to any social pressure to conform to sex stereotypes! That, he implies, might be part of an explanation. He could reflect on black and white thinking, common neuro divergent kids, and how common it is to be hyper focused and obsessional rumination once an idea appeals. He seems, to me, to seek the explanation more likely to comply with his business model.

Detransition.

Kelly is asked about detransition and the interviewer reads two, devastating, accounts from detransitioners Ritchie Heron and Sinead Watson. Kelly feigns ignorance about the testimony of Heron, even though he has had widespread media coverage and is taking legal action over his “transition”. Here is what he has to say about these, harrowing, accounts.

He seems quite sanguine about the risks and even admits his own patients may be the detransitioners of the future.

Nobody has a crystal ball, after all. Ironically the approach here sounds about as scientific as mystic meg. Not the standard I would expect for evidence based medicine.

Dr Kelly appears not to have done any up to date research on “detransition” he quotes a figure of 1% based on an unspecified Adult Clinic in London. He doesn’t have the research to hand…but he thinks and believes he helps the people he sees. He later concedes it’s a poorly researched area. 👇

For anybody that is interested I have done a series on detransition and the one from Cambridge, flawed as it is, conceded we are likely underestimating regret rates. It’s shaming that Dr Kelly doesn’t appear to keep himself up to date. Here is a clip on the Cambridge study into regret rates. Even they said it was 6.9% and I would argue their methodology tended to exclude people from being classified as having “regret”

The Cambridge article on detransition  link below. 👇

Detransition: Cambridge Study (2)

Puberty Blockers

Gender Plus has decided that the prescribing of puberty blockers, for those under 16,is too much of a contentious area, at present. They are however still going to “treat” children whatever that means.

At the same time Kelly claims to have evidence, albeit anecdotal of their successful use.

Finally…

The interviewer asks what working in this field is like for Kelly. He explains he is a true believer and clearly doesn’t share my view of what makes an extremist.

Next up, I will look at some of the others players at Gender Plus.

UN Women U.K. (Faux Feminism)

After appointing Monroe Bergdorf, a man, as a representative of this body it was time to have a little delve into UN Women U.K. You can read about the unsuitability of Mr Bergdorf here 👇

UN Women U.K. Monroe Bergdorf

They UN Women U.K. is a U.K based organisation, who are affiliated with the United Nations. They are set up as a registered charity and also a limited company.

Chair of UN Women U.K. is Baroness Verma. She made her fortune in fashion, before branching out into the residential care sector. She also made a huge deal with Uganda to supply solar power. This attracted some negative media coverage, especially over her decision to stay silent on Uganda’s anti homosexual laws, presumably to avoid jeopardising a lucrative deal.

I have perused the financial statements, available at the Charity Commission, to check what kind of activities UN Woman U.K. are engaged in and who are their corporate partners. The ones named appear to be similarly in need of rainbow washing. One such is Net A Porter, a luxury fashion brand. 👇

A quick search turned up a reason for the need to distract from less ethical, seeming, behaviours. Seems net a porter attracted criticism for their tax affairs. 👇

Publicity Stunts

Here are some other corporate partners supporting a publicity drive with the purported aim of dismantlng stereotypes. I am not fully convinced choosing a walking sex stereotype like Monroe Bergdorf, as ambassador, was their best move. I guess if it’s a man performing a pornified version of “womanhood” that’s stunning and brave. Misters doing it for themselves.

UN Women U.K. are hyper focussed on getting corporate backing for their project and their reports are peppered with references to multi-national brand sponsors.

Another campaign drew support from a slew of celebrities and political figures. The Draw A Line campaign was fronted by the London Mayor and, Diary of a Call girl star, Billie Piper.

Another campaign involving UN Women U.K. was the HeForShe campaign fronted by Emma Watson, of Harry Potter fame, globally. The U.K. branch of UN Women played a prominent role in the London based events.

In accompanying YouTube promotions they featured Harnum Kaur who celebrates her beard; which is a side effect of her Polycystic ovary syndrome (a condition that exclusively affects the female sex).

As well as media campaigns they have the inevitable star studded award ceremonies. This one included Julia Gillard, ex Australian PM, who was responsible for enshrining Gender Identity in law.

Gilliard infamously spluttered through the question of “What is a woman” calling it a gotcha question finally ending with this blatant disregard for the rights of women.

The first overt mention of LGBTQI+ in the accounts, comes in 2021 but it is clear from their contacts that they were fully on board with the rebranding of women to include men.

This 👇is from one of their staff/volunteers in a promotional YouTube.

Tutton is the founder of a campaign to end street harassment. She was educated at Cambridge University and Harvard; where she undertook a course in women’s studies. Predictably she has pronouns in her bio.

She now promotes her self as. specialist advisor. The term “luxury beliefs” could have been coined for these grifters.

The current CEO of UN Women U.K. came out of the Womens Equality Party which at its inception was determined to include men rebranded, in their world, as “women”. She is Tabitha Morton formerly deputy leader. Predictably she has pronouns in her bio.

More on the Women’s Equality Party here 👇.

Women’s Equality Party

Tabitha is in a Lesbian relationship with a woman (Chris Paouros) who is trustee for a trans lobby group “Just like Us”. This is another LGBT promotional charity who goes into schools and is bankrolled by the usual foundations. ( I will do a post on Just Like US because they merit their own deep dive).

Political machinations.

At its inception the charity gained access to government departments boasting of their access to the Government Equality Office.Department for Overseas Development and ministerial contacts.

They secured ministerial engagement from Justine Greening.

Finally in 2020 the charity set up an All Parliamentary Group to lobby for their own version of “women’s” rights which is co chaired by Maria Miller MP and Baroness Verma.

Other MPs who co chair the group are also on board with this travesty version of women’s rights advocacy.

On the register of interests UN Women U.K. is the recognition that the secretariat is provided, free of charge, by the charity itself and another organisation who is listed as providing free research to the group. Here are the details of L.E.K consulting who appear to be this company and involved in the following commercial sectors.

It’s worth also looking at some of the well connected women who were, historically, involved with UN Women U.K. This is an introduction. to Nuala Harris. She was an inclusion advisor to the World Bank, the Football Association and previously held consulting roles for Blackrock; who we know have investments in “trans medicine” .

Or ex Labour MP, Ann Mckechin, who is listed as a trustee but doesn’t mention it on her Linkedin. I have deduced that she is the Ann Listed because she promotes vacancies in UN Women U.K. (I could be wrong but it seems likely).

Mckechin is the Vice Chair of of Public Health Scotland and also an advisor to the Scottish Prisons Service who are currently on di ti g a live experiment by letting sex offenders share with women.

Then there is Shirley Cooper, O.B.E. former trustee of UN Women U.K. She holds roles with the Cabinet Office and the Ministry of Justice as well as the International UN Women.

In common with many of these charities UN Women U.K. has secured funding from the National Lottery and Comic relief. The capture of the charity sector seems complete. (Incidentally, I am pretty sure I can across one person associated with the charity who formerly held a post at Comic Relief. If I find it again I will update this post)

Next up I am going to look at funding for the Glasgow Women’s Library. In the meantime if you can support my work, every little helps.

UN Women U.K. Monroe Bergdorf

This organisation only cam to my attention because of the recent attempt to troll women by appointing a man as their first role ambassador. Monroe Bergdorf (formerly Ian Beaumont) is a bepenised man better known for his pornified presentation and willingness to expose his penis. Bergdorf has a history of making ignorant, racist, remarks and famously told women to shut up about our reproductive functions at a women’s march. This was one of my earliest peak trans moments,

Monroe has a poor grasp of British History and seems to think the fight for female suffrage was conducted on racial lines. This is arrant nonsense which could have been dispelled by a quick internet search. There has never been a colour bar in respect of voting in the United Kingdom.

In this tweet Bergdorf manages to display both his male dominance and his poor spelling.

There are other tweets doing the rounds of uncertain provenance but the above three should be enough to disqualify Bergdorf from speaking on behalf of women. His embrace of a pornified aesthetic is another reason he should have been disqualified.

Monroe has been working with UN women U.K. since 2018. This appointment is an insult to women everywhere. Here’s what he thinks about being a woman.

In a bizarre twist a man who performs gender sterotypes for a living first worked with Un Women as part of a campaign purported to be about campaigning against stereotypes.

 Of course this campaign was bankrolled by huge multi-national companies.

It is clear that Manroe intends to use his role as the FIRST holder of the post is to promote his own agenda.

Here is how he intends to prosecute his role with a clear emphasis on the rights of men to promote themselves as women.

Kim Petras.

Petras is of German extraction but moved to the United States, on their own, to pursue a career as a pop star. Following a massive hit with with Non Binary, they/them, Sam Smith, Petras won a Grammy and was billed as the first “transgender” woman to do so. Petras is a huge trans influencer and has an enormous platform to promote “transgender” issues. He has incredibly sexist lyrics and pushes pornified images of women. It is for this reason that I opted to cover him.

Petras began puberty blockade age 10 and played a prominent role in changing German Law to enable him to have surgery on his genitals age 16. Germany is a huge player in the sex lobotomy industry. Below is a graphic from a paper outlining the profits to be made from mutilating healthy bodies.

According to interviews his parents knew he was “transgender” as early as two years old.

He came from a musical family and had two older sisters which may have explained his over identification with the female sex but, clearly, his parents thought otherwise. Petras, who appears to be attracted to males, has expressed outrage that some people questioned whether he could, in fact, be simply gay; which is the main outcome for boys who express their discomfort with their sex from an early age. There is no information, I could find, on whether his parents were dismayed at having a potential gay son.

And yet it appears this is the case. Taken from one of his interviews 👇

Petras was, reportedly, treated by the author of this research paper. 👇

Here are a couple of revealing quotes from the article including some clinicians who argue that “hormone treatment constitutes a therapeutic suppression of a homosexual origination”

Nevertheless Wusthof, rather nobly, expresses his willingness to the take the risk for his patients. (It is not clear why he thinks it is himself who is taking the risk.)

It is worth considering what Marci Bowers had to say about the risks. Bowers himself identifies as “trans”, he is the President of WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) and is himself a surgeon best known for operating on Jazz Jennings. Here are a couple of warnings from Bowers.

Bower’s expressed doubt that anyone who has their puberty blocked, medically, at the same age as Petras would ever attain a fully functional sex life. Not only are they likely to be sterile but they face more problematic surgeries as the penis doesn’t develop sufficiently for a traditional “vaginaplasty”.

More on Bowers in this piece.

Marci Bowers: W.P.A.T.H

Hyper Sexual Content.

With this in mind I am intrigued by the hypersexual content in Petras’s pop career. This is the image on their twitter bio:

The first content that I became aware of was an anthem to materialism: “I want all my clothes designer and I want someone else to buy them”. This was tame compared to the song “My coconuts” which is a celebration of his fake breasts. The last sentence is on the MTV live performance which added the reference to anal sex. Mary Kate and Ashley appears to be a reference to the Olsen twins who were are wholesome Disney performers.

This is one of the promo videos for “Coconuts”.

My Coconuts

Those of you in the U.K may find this all reminiscent of a Benny Hill Sketch. Here is one.👇

Benny Hill

I do not include reference to Benny Hill for trivial reasons. Once men claim to be women we let all sorts of blatant sexism pass under the radar. This is most especially the case with young “transitioners” . The victim to predator pathway is very difficult to recognise /accept.

This is from a period Petras calls the slut pop period and it certainly delivers. Note the lolitaesque staging.

Here are a couple more lyrics from his music.

I will spare you the lyrics from this song. It’s not difficult to guess the reference. (Though some wag on Petras’ YouTube claims it’s an homage to a particular Mongolian Goat Herd with a distinctive singing style).😂

Here is the YouTube in case you want to take a gander. In fairness there are some quite catchy tunes. There is a plethora of repetitive sexual content, presumably, for the shock value. Petras has a huge following among teenage girls.

Kim Petras

The preoccupation with sex is there from some of the interviews. Here he decries the discrimination that sex workers /only fans content creators are subjected to..

In this one he is dismayed that a friend’s mum, who was in the sex exploitation industry, because she was treated so badly by the other kids.

Petras, like a lot of trans activists, is an apologist for the trafficking of woman’s bodies and those of trans identified males.

He also expressed regret that he missed a “hookers convention” and was delighted to be able to buy a commemorative T shirt. Of course it was in Vancouver. 👇

It’s impossible to determine whether Petras is over compensating for impaired sexual function. We are decades away from admissions of this kind where a career depends on it. I am increasingly skeptical of YouTube influencers reports of their sexual function post surgery, even where they were allowed a natural puberty. Petras is undoubtedly a victim but is now also a perpetrator since he promotes this ideology to kids. It is for this reason that he deserves scrutiny.

Cleo Madeleine 2

You can read part one here 👇 which covers an interview Cleo did on BBC Radio 4 along with Stephanie Davies-Arie and which also had contributions from Michael Foran, Hannah Barnes.

Cleo Madeleine.

So (clinically) fascinating did I find Mr Madeleine I decided to do a further bit of fossicking. A look at his linkedin shows he is an ex employee of Gender GP of Webberley infamy. Mr Webberley has been struck off and Helen has had length suspensions but, amazingly, retained her medical licence. Madeleine also has a PhD in queer historiography and now works for Gendered Intelligence.

I soon came across him on a podcast called 50 shades of Gender.

Fifty Shades Of Gender

In this interview we learn that he is a heterosexual man, with a background in theoretical bisexuality, which enabled him to claim “queer”. Here, in his own words 👇

If you can tolerate the endless navel gazing it’s worth a listen for the narcissist , self indulgent twaddle, with a veneer of intellectual probing. Here he toys with idea of lesbianism but since his girlfriend doesn’t identify as a woman I assume this was rejected.

And this gem which he utters without a smattering of self awareness whist actual women are being reduced to dehumanising terms such as “bleeders” and “uterus havers”. Women also need a name for ourselves you can have “common pricker” which was the name given to witch hunting men, or,if you prefer, just “prick”

Here is another interview on Politics Joe. 👇 The interviewer is female and fully deserving of the handmaiden label.

Cleo on Politics Joe

The editor chooses to lead with Cleo explaining why “trans” people are having a really hard time right now. Like a lot of these activists he is not bright enough to see that the claim for men to compete against women is over reach. And yet, he can’t admit that men are not women on any issue because the whole edifice will come crashing down. Cleo here has built his life on a lie and who knows how many years he has been on harmful medications.

He expresses the view that feminists are being driven into the arms of the far right, conveniently omitting that, in the U.K. at least, there is a major women’s organisation that came out of left wing trade unionism.

He is more comically out of his depth on the sport issue even claiming that if the exclude men from female sports they would have to ban Michael Phelps and any tall women. He excels himself when he appears to rely on Tranada for research to back up his claim.

No, pet, but we do segregate athletes by sex for host of reasons. Here are just a few.

He even uses the intersex gambit and seems to think Caster Semenya is female! I would only recommend you watch the whole thing if you have low blood pressure. The interviewer is a simpering fool who displays an incredulity at the women fighting back. Here she is arguing with Piers Morgan after female students lost out to two men in the women’s cycling event.

Madeleine locks his twitter account but this is how he describes himself and he has a link to his podcast.

The podcast doesn’t appear to be current anymore but I found this episode with a special guess who seems to have a side hustle in finding fascism everywhere. She is Annie Kenny and the episode is here 👇

Pronouns in Bio

This is the blurb for the episode.

Kenny seems to be focused on conspiracy theories and claims that “terf” are conspiracy theorists on a par with David Icke. For people not in the U.K Icke is football player / pundit turned man who claims the worlds is rung by Lizard people. She then moves onto labelling feminists as anti semitic because they cover the work of Martine Rothblatt or the foundations which are bankrolling gender identity ideology of which Open Society Foundation is one. There are a number of foundations embracing transgender ideology and not all of them are run by Jewish Families so Kenny seems to be engaging in an anti-semitic conspiracy of her own. There is much hilarity as they joke about medicalising of children and adolescents and how to get around any medical gatekeeping. These people are not serious commentators so I will leave them now.

I will just leave you with this final image which shows Cleo Madeleine at a Pride Event in London. Also present was Monroe Bergdorf and a man, “Sarah” Jane Parker, who proudly boasts he is the longest serving “trans” prisoner in the U.K. and was recalled to prison for saying, to loud cheers, of “If you see a Terf, punch them in the fu**ing face”.

Cleo Madeleine.

BBC radio 4 invited Cleo Madeleine, a trans-identified man, to debate Stephanie Davies-Arai on guidance for schools on dealing with children who identify as “transgender”. Stephanie is the founder of Transgender Trend and Cleo is a former employee of Gender GP who now works for another transgender lobby group, Gendered Intelligence.

The programme is called Anti-Social.

Straight off the bat Madeleine claims that he was badly impacted by Section 28; which he claims banned discussion of homosexuality and gender identity.

Madeleine is in his thirties and Section 28 was repealed twenty years ago. This is the text of section 28. It is focused on homosexuality. It makes no reference to “gender identity” which was not a thing at a time. Moreover, despite identifying as “queer”, “Cleo” is in fact a heterosexual in a relationship with a woman and, as we shall discover in a later interview, he was only ever theoretically bisexual. The interviewer should have picked him up on this.

The interviewer interrupts Stephanie when she describes her own experience of being uncomfortable with her sex to challenge her that her gender dysphoria wasn’t persistent. He also interprets her statement about not closing off options for children, but providing them with support, as basically meaning “suck it up kids”. I also detect a not of disparagement when he questions Stephanie about a comparison to other identities adopted by teenagers, such as goths. I am aware that I am not an impartial listener so it would be interesting to hear if I am being hyper vigilant in respect of the presenter’s perceived bias.

There follows a good discussion about identity formation with a segment where Hannah Barnes discusses what research is available on the effects of social transition. She makes the interesting observation that one side thinks it’s a problem if children, who socially transition, progress to a medical pathway because the very act of affirming the child may be influencing the outcome. The opposite perspective sees this as proof positive that the child was really “trans”.

Cleo expresses his frustration, with both Barnes and Stephanie, that discussion of social transition always leads to discussion of medical pathways. Cleo points out that most of these children will not be legally able to access medical interventions. It is important to point out that in the NHS we are still prescribing puberty blockers to children as young as ten and we don’t know what reckless prescribing goes on in the private sector.

Stephanie also makes the point about the link between social transition and the medicalised pathway and contrasts it with the former standard protocol of watchful waiting. Cleo is again frustrated and points out that doing nothing is not a neutral act.

Here is what the CASS review had to say on the topic.

Next up Geoff Barton a teacher and general secretary of the association of schools and colleges. He also points out the kind of guidance they gave schools which seemed based on common sense. He did point out that some teachers felt it did not go far enough and favoured hiding the child’s identity from the parents. Most of his advice was pragmatic and sensible but I do have a worry about girls placing themselves at risk in a mixed sex changing room which he describes as “gender neutral”.

Toilets

Stephanie on mixes sex toilets and the impact on girls and their right to single sex facilities. Cleo finds this patronising.

Stephanie corrects Cleo in that there have been incidents where girls have been placed in harms way, in mixed sex facilities. Cleo argues that the children should be listened to and Stephanie explains that safeguarding is the responsibility of the Adults and children can be reluctant to speak out about a desire for single sex facilities, for fear of being labelled a “transphobic bigot”. Cleo again expresses a frustration with the reference to safeguarding, claiming gendered intelligence has fifteen years of safeguarding experience. I would say they have a track record of riding a coach and horses through the fundamental basics of child safeguarding.

We are in a dangerous place when raising safeguarding is being labelled a right wing conspiracy by members of the House of Lords. 👇. I give you Lord Cashman.

And this delicious rejoinder 👇

Response to Cashman

Now we here from Michael Moran on the legal context. He proffers a compromise that maintains single sex facilities whilst also providing gender neutral spaces for those students are uncomfortable in spaces that match their biological sex.

Cleo is not happy with this compromise:

I am always a bit frustrated that the discussion doesn’t focus on changing rooms because the issue of girls undressing, with fully intact males, exhibits the issues much more starkly. I suspect this is a deliberate editorial decision.

Parents

Next we move onto the role of parents. Of course the worst examples of parenting are used to argue that parents should be kept in the dark.

Parents who are a known safeguarding risk should, of course, already be referred to safeguarding leads. There cannot be a presumption that parents are excluded from the knowledge that their child is struggling with issues of gender identity. The same people who argue that there is an elevated risk of suicidal ideation, in this demographic, want to hide this information from the parents. Here Cleo asks Stephanie a loaded question. 👇

Clearly he wants to leave the impression that Stephanie wants to put children at risk. If parents are deemed a risk to their children protocols should already be in place to protect these children. Stephanie tries to make the point that affirmative protocols in schools risks invoking an unevidenced medical pathway that may in itself be a safeguarding risk. Parents as a general rule know their children best and should not be left out of the conversation on such a significant issue in the child’s life.

Pronouns

We then return for more legal advice from Michael Foran about the vexed issue of balancing the rights of pronoun people with people who have, legally protected, gender critical beliefs.

The presenter pushes back on Stephanie wanting clear laws on sex segregated toilets but questioning the role of the law in protecting the rights of teachers and fellow pupils from mandatory pronouns. He cuts Stephanie off when she attempts to links social transition in schools to placing children on a medical pathway. Because time is running out he must allow Cleo the final word. This gives Cleo the opportunity for an emotive plea which has little substance but manages to leave the impression that Stephanie does not want educators to focus on children’s well-being.

You can listen to the interview here if you have BBC.

Anti Social Trans and Schools

I will do a follow up on Cleo based on the other interviews he has given, and his podcast, it gives you the measure of the man.

Cheryl Morgan

Morgan was covered in an article in the Times because of his role contributing to NHS Trust guidance; which came under fire for disregarding women’s, sex based, in particular access to single sex wards. The guidance was explicitly in favour of favour of “prioritising trans people”. This 👇 from an article in The Times, link below.

Trans Activists writing NHS Guidance

The guidance also contained other statements straight out of gender identity ideology and, once again, I find myself wondering why medical staff are putting up with this scientifically illiterate tosh.

The toolkit was not put out for public consultation but when eagle eyed women heard about it they demanded an Equality Impact Assessment, from the governing body. This was duly done and concluded the following:

Basically the catastrophic impact on the well being of trans-identified people was considered but the impact on women was completely disregarded.

Having checked the website for North Bristol NHS Trust they don’t appear to publish their “transgender” policy anymore.

The Diversity Trust

Morgan was formerly on the board of The Diversity Trust and, more recently, began working for a new outfit called A New Normal Ltd, as the “Trans Awareness coordinator”.

I have interrogate the publicly available data for both these companies. Morgan was Director of the Diversity Trust until September 2021 and also a trustee.

Diversity Trust has had grant income from Gloucestershire City Council, The National Lottery and entered into collaborative research projects with Bristol University. In the accounts from 2019 we are told that the majority of their income comes from their courses and that “trans” awareness is the most popular; delivered by Morgan.

They also deliver LGBTQ+ training to schools.

We also discover that Morgan has been delivering lectures to Social Work, Psychology and Law students.

They also delivered Hate Crime Awareness training to the following groups which, as you can see, included the magistrates court and the police force.

The trust also delivers unconscious bias training and has quite a reach in the University Sector.

The Trust also host a podcast series with guests like member of parliament, Stella Creasy and activist Peter Tatchell and Christine Burns.

The trust seem very embedded with local councils, the local NHS and of course attend local Pride events.

Here is one of their case studies who attended one of their youth groups. A learning disabled kid with mental health problems, who they called Sam, has a bodily disassociative condition that is being affirmed by the use of new pronouns.

Here is one of their events with an academic who is clearly saturated in Queer Theory.

I had to look up plurisexuality. I am still none the wiser.

You can find on Linkedin with lists of her publications, including this gem.

A New Normal Ltd.

Some time after Morgan left The Diversity Trust he joined an organisation called New Normal Ltd as their “trans” representative.

Companies house indicates that this is the company.

Only one director is listed, a Patricia Driver. The twitter bio trumpets the usual virtue signalling credentials, pronouns, alleged feminist, black lives matter and a refusal to sex her children.

A check on the twitter account reveals the connection with Morgan though the twitter account linked may be incorrect.

You can find their website here 👇

New Normal

Here’s Morgan

Here’s an example from their website showing the student level appreciation of the issues. This is an image used on a blog which celebrates the opposition to the #LetWomenSpeak tour.A tour which still has outstanding court cases for violence against the women who participated.

There’s not much to find in the accounts for this single director company, so it is worth spending some time looking into the person they have employed to lead on “trans” issues.

Morgan’s Blog

Here is Morgan’s website.👇

Morgan’s mewsings

Morgan writes on science fiction, fandom as well as speculations about the nature of “gender” and “sex” as well as taking side swipes at feminists such as Germaine Greer and Julie Bindel. He doesn’t overlook less well known women. This is a clip from2015. Not only does he use the phrase terf, a recognised slur, but he refers to feminists as an “infestation”.

Here is Morgan claiming feminists are the ones who disregard females who opt out of their sex. With breathtaking chutzpah, he claims the real issue is not women being affected by men like Morgan entering our spaces but “transmen” who are using male facilities. Morgan accepts that females using male spaces are at risk but denies any impact on women when he uses female spaces! This argument only works if we accept that men who use women’s facilities are actually women which is where we started. He makes a habit of using cynical arguments about “transmen” to advance his own cause.

Morgan claims to have “transitioned” in his late thirties, he is now 66. There doesn’t appear to be a transwidow in the background. The only relationship he talks about is with someone called Kevin who he lives with. On marrying Kevin he claims the relationship is complicated and marriage is difficult. This is a stretch because it was possible for “trans” people to marry before it was legal for same sex couples who did not identify as “trans”.

Morgan’s twitter account appears to have disappeared but there are archival tweets where he claims to be able to breast feed.

It is worth looking at this YouTube video, from A New Normal. to unpick some of the lies and half truths Morgan is selling to the NHS, Schools, and local government officials which, unfortunately, they are buying.

YouTube content.

First up is this one from New Normal Ltd.

Cheryl Morgan New Normal

Morgan in this interview is asked about what risks “trans” people face and he responds with the ludicrous claim that the actual people at risk are “cis” people who are mistaken as “trans”

He continues on this theme designed to paint this as a moral panic which disproportionately impacts Butch Lesbians with the implication he has “passing privilege” and they don’t.

He continues on this theme arguing that the other people at risk are “cis” women who wear pronoun badges and are mistaken for “trans”. I mention this not as a “gotcha” about his appearance but because of the seemingly pathological claim of “passing privilege” and the claim that the current demands for single sex spaces don’t impact him but only actual women who are mistaken for “trans”.

There is also this extraordinary exchange over “trans” people in sport on which the interviewer has this to say. There is such a failure in logic here. All Olympians are at elite level male advantage persists and has resulted in mediocre male athletes taking top spots in the female category.

More scientific illiteracy follows in Morgan’s reply. Firstly, “transwomen” are not completely banned they are just expected to compete in the correct category for their sex. (They have even been offered an open category but there were no takers). Females on testosterone are not allowed to compete against other females so this is a lie. Interesting that he claims “trans men” have a competitive advantage but is unwilling to concede there is any advantage for actual men.

In this interview he also takes aim at the Equality and Human Rights Commission; claiming they have an agenda to roll back “trans” rights. He is also critical of the Scottish government for the failure to pass the “Self ID” bill.

In another YouTube for A New Normal, Morgan discusses medical treatments for children rates of detransition and the sport issue. On the medical treatments he neatly sidesteps the issue of puberty blockers (In the U.K. puberty blockers are started in children as young as 10) to focus on only cross sex hormones and surgeries. He is correct that the NHS only allows CSH from age 16 and surgeries from age 18. He omits the private providers who are not bound my these age restrictions and also practice in the United States, where we know girls as young as 13 are given double mastectomies. On the detransition issue he focuses on one study which appeared to follow up patients for only one year. Regret rates don’t appear at one year post surgery so he is being disingenuous. On the sport issue he misrepresents the arguments stating that women campaigning for fair sport are saying all men are invariably better than all women. That is not the argument being advanced to exclude men from female sports.

The argument is that men, as a sex class, have the advantages conferred by a male puberty. Average performing men can outperform even elite female athletes because of their male advantages.

Here are some graphics representing male advantage.

You can watch Morgan talking about these issues in the YouTube linked below.

Morgan on Trans Visibility

You can read the full article on male advantages in sport here 👇

Men in womens sport

HR Zone: Transition at Work

Morgan also provides advice in HR articles about “transitioning” at work. He makes it clear that everyone must be pressed into service to validate the “trans” person.

Women must accept bepenised men in our spaces because many will have delayed access to surgeries.

Nevertheless, we are reassured, nobody will take advantage of this for nefarious purposes.

Written Evidence to Transgender Equality Inquiry

Before we leave Morgan to his own de-vices it’s worth having a brief look at his submission to the transgender equality inquiry. Note that, not content with claiming “woman” he claims “female”.

He calls the spousal exit clause a vindictive piece of legislation. As a reminder this doesn’t allow a spouse (usually a wife) any power to prevent her husband pursuing sex falsification hormones and surgeries. It just allows the wife time to divorce and prevent her being redefined in law with a “lesbian” divorce. The man is allowed an interim GRC which grants all the same rights as a full GRC but stops at his ability to redefine the marriage as between two females. In order to justify the description of “vindictive” he imagines a scenario where the woman deliberately remains in the marriage to prevent the husband from getting a full GRC.

He also wishes to challenge the sex by deception offence. This allows a criminal charge to be made if someone fails to reveal their sex to a sexual partner. I did a series on this offence which, as far as I can ascertain, has mainly involved females tricking other females. This is a law Stonewall wants to review and so far the law has judged that deception as to your biological sex vitiates consent.

It is unsurprising that Morgan is spouting the Stonewall line because he was /is a Stonewall role model

There’s plenty more material on Morgan which is easy to find. I think this gives you the measure of the man.
