Telling the truth about trans is not ‘hate speech’

Something must have happened. I am watching the entire clip on YouTube (1 hour and 1 minute long) as we speak. I am in Australia and at the time of writing (early am on 23 Nov UK time) the entire interview has been viewed 85, 306 times.

The hysteria generated by such a small minority is quite something to behold. I strongly suspect that the vast majority of trans people don’t give a damn what anyone else thinks.

I also saw the interview before it was taken down (and I’m very pleased it’s been reinstated.) The Triggernometry boys Konstantin & Francis are absolute heroes for championing free speech and honest & civilized exchanges of ideas in a readily accessible public forum. Their thoughtful content deeply shames the BBC (who ought to be the facilitators of intelligent public debate.) Parker did NOT advocate hatred or violence and FWIW Konstantin argued passionately (almost pleading with her at times) that she should take a polite and accommodating view of Trans people. He may have swayed may others (if not her.) To censor such a discussion demonstrates something seriously awry with those at YouTube originally took Triggernometry video down. It’s encouraging that they reversed course.

A quick heads up: it appears the video in question has now been reinstated on YouTube. I suspect there was some pushback against their censoriousness.

If you haven’t watched the video yet I commend it to you. And if the woke hordes become sufficiently restive YT may pull it again – so enjoy it while you can.

I was lucky enough to watch this on Sunday night, before it got pulled and it was one of Triggernometry’s best. They was nothing at all in Parker’s interview that could be construed as incitement, she merely enunciated truths that some people find inconvenient and / or uncomfortable. But then I guess truth is ‘hate speech’ to some. Were “The Emperor’s New Clothes” to be written today we’d see the little boy not hailed as a voice of truth and reason, no we’d see him grabbed by the mob and lynched. After all, he’d have deserved it for his hate speech.

Getting back to the video, I particularly admired Parker’s robust position on the use of gender pronouns: that she wouldn’t refer to some bloke in a dress as ‘she’ or ‘her’. And her rationale was spot on: it’s all about thought control. In my book forcing someone, by the apparatus of the state, to refer to a *man* as ‘she’ is no different – in effect, or morally – than torturing a man until he believes (or at least says he believes) that 2 + 2 = 5. It disturbs me that so many these days seem to view “1984” as a blueprint, rather than a cautionary tale.

And as for the trannies, I have to say: grow up. You may well want to be a woman, but you can’t – our medical technology isn’t at that stage, yet. Male to female transsexuals / transgenders / whatevers are nothing of the sort – they remain male (the same applies to the FtM variety). No matter how much surgery they undergo, how many drugs they take they remain – biologically – the sex they were born. They’re simulacra (and good ones if they’re lucky) of women, not actual women. That may make them feel uncomfortable, but tough – it’s the truth.

Let me give you a parallel: I’d love to be driving an Aston Martin (other supercar marques are available), but I’m not and it’s extremely unlikely I ever will be (Lotto wins notwithstanding). I could go around telling people that my five year old Mini is the latest DB11, but that wouldn’t make it so. And it shouldn’t be criminal for people to point out that my claim was either a conscious falsehood, or a sad delusion.

Y’know many people claim that we’re now living in ‘Clownworld’ but I think it’s actually worse that that: I feel we’ve fallen through the Looking Glass and we’re now in a place where words mean exactly what Humpty wants them to mean, no more, no less (a ‘woman’ is no longer an adult human female apparently). And we’re expected to emulate the Red Queen and believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast. Well, I for one shall not be going quietly into that good night, and long may Posie Parker and her cohorts continue to speak. If I may paraphrase Niemoller: first they came for the TERFs… Let us not forget that.

I watched the interview and there was nothing she said that wasnt correct. It might not fit our “cultural norms” but facts dont care about your feeling. No one has ever “transitioned” or been “.born into the wrong body”. And when it comes to children it is simple child abuse. You tube always bans Dr Cretella for simply putting the rational facts forward.

When a giant corporation forces it’s own ethical and political standards on society at large, it is fascist.

There could be a secret or half-unconscious intention on the part of people shaming others into using words made-up words, to shame others into avowing what they DO NOT BELIEVE by implication. That shamed person will stay cowed for long after. It is humiliating to say cis-man or transwoman when you don’t believe there is any such thing. The avouched hurt feeling of a nano-minority are not nothing, but I don’t think the hurt feelings are the point. Such post-haste and rummage in the land implies a substantial object, and I think it is the compelling conservative people into saying what they don’t believe as a form of psychological warfare. Obviously cruel and bullying people (the activists) say they are persecuting because they are moved by the (supposed) tender feelings of a minority of a minority most of them have never met? Unlikely. There is either an agenda, or they just love the bullying.

Considering Triggernometry repeatedly challenged her stance and linked to the alternative view from another interviewee in the content description, one wonders what will date these woke platforms. I saw the interview, and don’t fully agree with Parker’s feminist stance on this, but it’s hardly “hate speech”.

Using vaccination as an example. That vaccination has been a huge success is not debatable and society as a whole benefits hugely. However there is a small minority who definitely are harmed by vaccination and it is the medical world’s job to help these people. No one of note suggests we stop vaccination because for these (am told it is less than 0.5% of the population) people and thus hurt society as a whole. As with Trans people, guessing they are at most 1/2% of the population but the whole of society is been made to change to fit their need/demands. Surely it is societies/medical organisations jobs to assist these people and adjust them and society so that they fit in and feel affirmed without changing the whole of society/culture.
