Review of life performance: Jon Ronson – Enter The Castle
Ronson’s quirky looking sideways at things persona, isn’t working so well thirty years on (let’s just call it lack of character development). Jon Ronson has taken his latest book on tour, which I endeavoured to review*, given he included a chapter on Graham Linehan for his constant badgering of Ronson on the issue of transgenderism.…
Review of documentary: Jimmy Somerville Smalltown Boy
So, lacking Jimmy to give any clue (other than the obvious) as to why he wrote Smalltown Boy, we are instead given a contemporary scene inside Gay The Word’s bookshop, with a woman, probably born around 2000, saying she could connect with the song because she once left home (probably ‘escaping’ to university to be…
Review: ‘Trans is Human’ exhibition
My review of the ‘Trans is Human’ exhibition, held at Queer Britain (the nation’s LGBTQ+ museum) which is just near Google’s HQ, if you want an idea of the rents involved.
Photographs by Mariano Vivanco (fashion photographer) and curated by Jake and Hannah Graf (straight trans couple of red top fame).
Documentary review: Beyond The Aggressives: 25 Years Later
Despite Peddle’s flex that the progressiveness of gender identity ideology (aka queer theory) liberated these women, they are just older and a little bit wiser. Less angry. Time has worked its natural effect, basically. Obviously Chin Tsui has fared worst, since, as a direct result of trans activism’s impact on detention policy, she experienced 18…
A talk with Sarah Jane Baker
‘I kidnapped and tortured somebody and got seven years for that and whilst in prison I tried to murder somebody, who hurt me,’ Baker admitted. We all nodded empathetically, as if we understood. Baker said he deserved every single day of the time he served for those crimes and that the victims hadn’t deserved it.…
UNSAFE: The Carceral Roots of the Anti-Trans Backlash
Another epiphany. The self-righteousness of the left. You know the left is really up its own arse when radical trans activist abolitionist non-binary academics can even see it. Fuck me.
Trans Symposium at Birkbeck – ‘Existing Otherwise’
As regular tweeps know, we never shy away, having said that, even we couldn’t help being a bit rabbits-in-headlights when facing down the agenda for the Trans+ Virtual Centre of Excellence ‘Existing Otherwise’, published on Bluesky.
Items were as follows:
a Meditation titled “We Are Here.”
a Creative Collage Workshop, titled “Remapping Masculinity.”

Derek Jarman Annual Lecture – given by trans-identified female
The Derek Jarman lecture is Queer@Kings flagship event and captures the politics of what they aim to do at the University. It is King’s College, of course, who are running the puberty blocker trial for gender dysphoric children. The blurby bit On the Derek Jarman lecture series The Derek Jarman lecture is Queer@Kings flagship event…
‘Learn what life is like for transgender teens’
Lambeth Libraries have made the documentary shorts of The Youth and Gender Media Project, an initiative founded by filmmaker Jonathan Skurnik, free to view for library members and invited him to talk on the topic. Skurnik started the project because he wanted children who didn’t conform to ‘gender roles’ to feel valued, the upshot of…
IDAHOBIT* with The Love Tank
Participants could live, work or socialise in Tower Hamlets to contribute to the council’s ‘needs assessment’, meaning, if you’ve ever bought a matcha latte on Brick Lane, your opinion was as good as any. There were 25 research participants in total, 22 of whom attended a dinner party, with three additional interviewees outside of that…
