It often seems that when progressive politics talks about diversity and inclusion, what it really means is…

There’s a lot more heat than light when discussing Trans Issues. One area that causes even more confusion than most is that of sexual preferences.

It quotes a tweet thread which mentions Canadian Feminist Meghan Murphy, permanentanly banned from Twitter for reporting that Yaniv is a bioligical male. Guardian Rent-a-Minority (no really, that’s one of her actual jobs) Arwa Mahdawi writes: “While…

Dear Twitter I’m writing to ask you to save your platform from disaster, and reverse the absurd ban you’ve imposed on hundreds of people, mainly women, all apparently due to “activism” associated with Jessica Yaniv (@TrustedNerd). You emailed me on 12 July 2019 saying my twitter account @RogSat had been…
