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.
Film review of ‘Orlando, My Political Biography’ with Paul B. Preciado
It was packed in the Barbican’s biggest screen, filled with lots of trans-identified females of all ages (but mostly younger) eager to see, who I guess must be a hero to them, Paul B. Preciado. Preciado is now 53 years of age but is blessed with youthful looks and an even more youthful mind (some might say adolescent, but I’ll get onto that). According to the Wikipedia entry, Paul was previously Beatriz and transitioned in 2014, i.e. aged forty-four years. An internet search for Beatriz bought up this article from 2013, from when she was on the brink of her ‘transition’, being interviewed for the book she is most famous for – Testo Junkie : Sex, Drugs and Biopolitics in the Pharmacopornographic Era.

The T in LGBT: Tea with Jamie Raines
Jamie Raines aka Jammidodger has over a million subscribers on YouTube. At the time of writing her latest post, uploaded three days ago, had already received 77 thousand views. It’s normal for her to get over one hundred thousand hits, or even millions of hits, for her posts.
Her current pinned post is ‘Bad Women’s Anatomy is Getting WORSE’. In it, she’s ‘natural’ and chatty on camera, including clips of herself tripping up over the phrase ‘trans inclusive’, which could easily be edited out, but clearly kept in to add to the aesthetic of her don’t care/affable persona. In the video she makes simplistic links between women’s bodies and misogyny. So this is a ‘man’ who wants to lecture her teen girl audience about how awful men are, showcasing her ability to empathise with women, which is all too understandable when she is one. This is who her audience is then, girls who are unsure about their changing bodies.
