“The word 'affirmation' is literally a 'positive' word, and so our gut instinct is that it must be a good thing. In reality of course an 'affirmation only' approach denies the person any thoughtful enquiry, which could be extremely helpful. After all, the phrase goes, 'a problem shared is a problem solved', and not merely a solution shared...'. The post op regretters were universally of the opinion that if they had been able to access an exploratory space in the first place, then they would not have pursued the irreversible physical steps, which they later came to regret.”

“There is a lost-girl quality in the nude feminists of Instagram; a topsy-turvy land where women show men their disapproval of manmade rules by delivering up exactly what men want from them. Women have spent decades protesting about wanting to be seen as more than bodies by men - and now the trend is to literally make tits of themselves in a bid to prove that they're independent women.”

“By championing racial diversity the Woke ruling class has happened upon a smart way of swerving the far greater injustice which exists in this country - the class system, which wastes more lives than any other form of oppression ever invented. So you'll hear a beautiful Bajan accent reading the BBC news - but never a pleb Brummie. Despite those expensive educations, the Woke ruling class don't understand what the uneducated UnWoke working class ask of them, simply because they talk differently; to be dismissed as a CHAV, gammon or Karen, in a milieu which would rather cut out its tongue than dehumanise any other group so, and thus have 99.9% of all life opportunities stifled at birth.”

“When I see the Woke media supplicating over minorities for their own narcissistic and performative ends, I see the nihilism of white riots to match the black ones. Because the trouble with identity politics is that you make being white an identity too. And if you split yourself off from others of your class because of their colour, dismissing their lived experience as privilege, blaming them for things they haven't done, eventually those people will say "Ok you win. I'll talk to, live among, and vote only with my kind".”

“Has anyone noticed that one of the main actions which women appear to play in Woke's Rich Tapestry is ceaseless apologising? Saying sorry for their TERF words, their "cis privilege", their sheer taking up of space in a world where cocks in frocks demand access all areas? It's a wonder we ever got the vote - imagine the Suffragettes today going around apologising to race horses for being insufficiently sensitive to their shared cultural oppression.”

“The adjectives and derivatives based on woman's distinctions are alien and derogatory when applied to human affairs; "effeminate"--too female, connotes contempt, but has no masculine analogue; whereas "emasculate"--not enough male, is a term of reproach, and has no feminine analogue. 'Virile'--manly, we oppose to 'puerile'--childish, and the very world 'virtue' is derived from 'vir'--a man.”

“Trans people are trans people. We should get over it. They deserve to be safe, to be visible throughout society without shame or stigma, and to have exactly the life opportunities non-trans people do. Their transness makes no difference to any of this. What trans people don’t deserve, however, is to be publicly misrepresented in philosophical terms that make no sense; nor to have their everyday struggles instrumentalised in the name of political initiatives most didn’t ask for, and which alienate other groups by rigidly encroaching on their hard-won rights. Nor do trans people deserve to be terrified by activist propaganda into thinking themselves more vulnerable to violence than they actually are.”
