Tom Slater disapproves of the thought police.


Cops told a blogger to ‘tone down’ her comments about transgenderism.

Picture the scene. On Monday morning, 74-year-old Margaret Nelson – a former humanist celebrant turned blogger – was woken by a phone call. It was the police.

Speaking to the Ipswich Star, Nelson said the officer on the other end of the line proceeded to tell her that her recent comments online had ‘upset people’, and asked her ‘to tone things down’.

And what had Nelson said to warrant such insane intrusion? That, as far as she is concerned, trans-women are not women. One blog post, which she says was singled out by the cops, argued that ‘death doesn’t misgender’ – that a dissected corpse of a transgender person would appear to be of his or her natal sex, not the sex they chose to present as in life.

  1. This is just another manifestation of a bigger problem. It doesn’t seem rooted in the scientific method for progressives to try to shutdown examination of the claim there are 72 genders. And so it’s an example of why I am skeptical of the motives of those who claim to to ride the science train in other scenarios , like when dismissing the claims of creationists on the origin of species. We should be entitled to simply reply “it’s science bitch” back to them.

  2. ‘I’m not going to keep quiet just because some people might get a bit upset. I’m 74. I don’t give a fuck any more.’

    She gets my vote....All this transgender stuff is total bollicks, if you are gay be happy and if women want to have a girly lesbi-friends night, more power to their elbow. The nonsense about people being born into the wrong body and wanting to change sex is fcuked up. And if people go down the rabbit hole, they will find a very sinister agenda being played out...

  3. Frankie could you change bollocks to something gender neutral , like armpits perhaps? Lol.
    I’ve been in ecstasy since this latest “wax my balls and shaft, bigot” case in Canada. It’s like everything I’ve been saying on this is coming to a head. We should not let those progressives isolate it as outlier either, it’s exactly the farce the many people,including women predicted. So we need to look at what other “armpits “ they are also espousing.

  4. Daithi,

    This whole transgender agenda is wank. We are on the same page. Maybe there is something in the water or the way food is packaged today has fcuked up some people thought process..

    The frighting thing is they are pushing their sick agenda onto kids..No one is going to tell me a kid at 5,6,7...10,11 or 12 knows what they want or who they are when most can't wipe their own arse correctly

  6. Yes there is a determined trans lobby that is wreaking havoc in areas of gender development but gender dysmorphia is a genuine condition. People do feel trapped in the wrong body; gay and neuro-diverse children do experience difference and consequent 'othering'.

    As for the trans lobby "pushing their sick agenda onto kids"; generations of children have had the dominant hegemonic discourses of heterosexuality, patriarchy and neurotpyicality forced onto them.

    1. Hardly forced onto them when it's innate within them, or at least the vast majority. Those believing they are 'trans' make up a miniscule percentage of the population, there are far more left handed people by some margin, yet we seem to be wringing our conscience far too much in fear of being thought 'politically correct'.

      Fuck that indeed.
