The least you would expect from scientists associated with a university is to be respectful to other human beings. Sadly that doesn’t appear to be the case with Emma Hilton, PhD. We asked Bing Chat AI, “Does Emma Hilton of the University of Manchester lecture?  The reply:- “I couldn’t find any information on whether Emma Hilton of the University of Manchester lectures. However, I found her profile on the University of Manchester website.

The Sun IL Portico

On July 6th, 2023, The Sun published an article titled, “Sick trans activists smashed up restaurant just because JK Rowling attended a Ukraine charity event there”. However, look deeper into this story, and there are serious flaws.     The reason?      Perhaps look no further than the story’s author, trans-hostile Gender Critical (GC) journalist Julie Bindel?   Wikipedia describes the GC movement as:   “Gender-critical feminism, also known as trans-exclusionary radical feminism or its acronym TERF, is an ideology or movement that opposes what it refers to as “gender ideology”, the concept of gender identity and transgender rights.”   “These views have…

The Alliance Defending Freedom, The Heritage Foundation and Promise to America’s Children – are all organisations that, on the face of it, suggest honesty, decency and respect. On the face of it… let’s dig much deeper. In fact, on some issues, these three organisations work very closely together to promote a trans hostile environment.The Promise to America Children says this in regard to their “promises”.  In reality, step one of their promises is to deny trans kids proper WPATH based healthcare …and steps two and three are designed to make trans kids’ lives as difficult and exclusionary as possible.  The Alliance Defending Freedom…
