The evening was also Olly Pike’s new book launch with the exciting opportunity to get a copy of Have You Ever Seen a Normal? This is self-described as ‘a delightful rhyming story designed to spark conversations about diversity and acceptance’. Some of the prose made up the beginning of Pike’s speech. It contains about a hundred uses of the word ‘normal’. Did you know there’s no such thing as normal? For example, there is no such thing as normal food, normal houses, normal families, normal kids, being a normal height, normal love or normal heat. Et cetera. Normal isn’t real. The implication being, of course, is that there is no such thing as abnormal [behaviour] and that everything is relative.

Pechey has also written a book. The Book of Non-Binary Joy. It was certainly an uphill struggle getting people to believe that trans non-binary people exist. Pechey claims that books about non-binary people were ‘prescriptive’ or ‘telling you how to be’ – showcasing that he has literally no clue of the genre.
“I Was a Queer Child and So Were You: Toward Social and Cultural Transformation”
Stockton went off on her ‘reading is like a kiss’ vein again, sometimes reading is like kissing your uncle. You can also penetrate someone with words. Were such thoughts offensive to asex(ual) people though? When I say ‘cat’ to you, your mind has to ‘birth’ the idea of a cat, what is left over is mystical. Roland Barthes eat your heart out.
Addressing ‘gender-based’ violence the abolitionist way
I listened into this webinar just out of interest, the ‘abolition movement’ isn’t strictly my niche, however I was disturbed enough by what they had to say to feel it worth posting about. If you didn’t know, abolitionists want to destroy all policing services and remove punishments for criminals, though for some time they have been scratching their heads how to square this aim with their adjacent cosily-named ‘gender-based violence’ schtick. As we all know, the crimes of rape, sexual abuse and domestic violence, are overwhelmingly committed by men, with women largely the victims. To solve some of the problems around this issue, the UK prison abolitionist squad has developed a booklet to shove at people when anyone might question them about why they felt someone like Wayne Couzens should escape the criminal justice system.
Glen or Glenda? and the History of Trans Healthcare
I would have said it had Virginia Prince’s fingerprints all over of it, except the film predates Prince’s Transvestia magazine by several years. Nevertheless, Wood clearly spent time speaking to such men (probably Prince) and the psychiatrists who treated the same, as the description and depiction of transvestism is all too familiar to those who know it. A reminder also that gender identity ideology was already fully formed before most of us were even born.
Review of documentary: Life of Kai
The documentary is piss poor in every sense, lack of direction, lack of interest in its subject. Absolutely no nuance. Cloying animated interlinking segments. It’s like the whole thing was put together by people wearing boxing gloves. Not to mention the unforgivable pun in the film’s title. But for all that it is still incredibly revealing. There’s no hiding the grooming, nor My Genderation’s intimate involvement in pushing Kai, and others like her, along the path of an irreversible transition.
