I’ve written before about absurdities in discussions of trans issues. How self-declared progressives came to promote violence against non-compliant women and to call sexual attraction transphobic is surely a wonder of the age.
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.
Veronica Ivy (formerly Rachel McKinnon), a trans philosopher and champion cyclist, once claimed that any sexual orientation other than “pansexual” (attraction regardless of sex) was…
Earlier this week, I wrote an article on Facebook’s Community Standards allow the promotion of violence against women, following on from some recent satirical memes I’d created on this topic for my page Satiria.

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).
