Action project
But who is the real threat here?
‘Trans rage’ protesters vandalise Wes Streeting’s office
Windows at the Health Secretary’s Ilford North Office were smashed, and the words “child killer” daubed on the front in paint.
Trans Bash Back, a “trans-led direct action project”, claimed they were responsible for the vandalism in a post on the social media platform BlueSky.
Sharing an image of the front of the office shortly after it had been vandalised, they wrote: “Don’t want action? Don’t kill kids.”
Taking “kill” as hyperbole for injure, harm, damage, endanger and the like, who is really doing that? Which is the most harmful and damaging: urging interfering with people’s puberties, or advising not interfering with people’s puberties?
It’s not just self-evident that trying to halt puberty via drugs or surgery or both is safer than not doing so. It’s more the other way around, in fact. Primum non nocere. Interfering with puberties is in fact a very drastic thing to do, and at least potentially quite harmful.
Trans Bash Back, which appears to have only recently been launched, posted a manifesto online in which it said that organisations seeking to ban puberty blockers, or define what a man or woman is, should “expect” it.
If nobody is allowed to “define” what a man or woman is, then what does “trans” even mean? If the words “woman” and “man” don’t mean anything, then “trans” doesn’t mean anything either.
In an online FAQ, the organisation described itself as a “Nonviolent Direct Action Group”, and defines the actions it takes as “risky, and rarely legal”.
In a statement on social media, the group said it refuses “to sit and watch as trans young people have their healthcare stripped from them. We refuse to allow Streeting to cover up their suicides. We refuse to endure the violence and humiliation. They will have to go through us”.
So feisty, so brave, so self-sacrificing, and so idiotic. Gender fiddling is not healthcare, and protecting teenagers from fashionable fiddling is neither violence nor humiliation. Hopped-up rhetoric doesn’t change any of that.
Update: h/t Mostly Cloudy.
Don’t the UK cops have whole divisions devoted to scrolling through social media posts and then rocketing over to visit the non-crime-hate-incidenters personally? How does what this group posts not draw the police attention? Oh, sorry, I forgot about The Trans Dome.
FIFY. Under T dogma, kids permanently lose their health. They are made into lifelong Frankenstein experiments.
What suicides? The ones that YOU tell kids they have to commit in order to be “real trans”? The ones you goad kids into committing to be martyrs for the cause? The ones that are totally avoidable if kids get real health care and mental health support?
What “violence”? The actual violence only ever comes from the T side of this battle. The only humiliation you suffer is 100% self-inflicted. You do more than believe six impossible things before breakfast; you insist — with menaces — that everyone else must believe them too. It’s always been ridiculous, but now the cracks are starting to show. You’ve made yourselves ridiculous; expect ridicule. If you’re feeling humiliated, it’s about damn time.
This “Nonviolent Direct Action Group” wants there to be children committing suicide in order to say “SEE, WE TOLD YOU SO!” Because there aren’t kids killing themselves as they should, they have to invent a supposed cover-up of all those suicides that aren’t happening. If there were even one, we’d have heard of them by now. They would be a Holy Martyr for The Cause. His/her/their image would be on every social media platform. JKR would be being accused of killing said child with her bare hands. The BBC would even bump their usual let’s-see-what’s-happening-with-Drag Queen coverage to feature such a story with choice quotes from Jolyon Maugham, who’s been chomping at the bit for the start of this long-predicted and hoped for, imminent flood of teen suicides for months…Has any of this happened? No. Then “COVER UP!” it is.
Never mind that the real winners (and losers) in the whole “See, we told you so,” sweepstakes were the women who warned of all of the shit that came to pass in the wake of trans ideology ascendency.
Yeah, you’d think this would deserve at least as much attention as stickers, limericks, and images of ribbons, wouldn’t you?
I especially like the use of the word “daubed” – as if we’re adding delicate accents to a summer home.
Nothing is safe from the trans vandals.
So the perfect canvas to spray paint a pink heart and ‘TRANS RIGHTS’ in what I assume are the official colours of trans. There is a touch of comedy, though. The idiot realised halfway through that heshethey was making the letters too wide to fit it all in so ‘RIGHT’ has been sprayed in letters of decreasing width. I say ‘RIGHT’ because heshethey still managed to run out of space and couldn’t have the ‘S’ in line with the rest so had to squeeze it in under the crossbar of the ‘T’.
Neither sense nor sensibility ;-)

Huh. The Beeb doesn’t say a word to defend the vandalism. That’s gotta be a first.
Smashing windows sounds awfully violent for a self described, “non violent” group.
I’m confident that, if religious conservatives, MAGA types, or TERFs had smashed the windows of a trans organisation and spray painted “child killers” on the building that Stonewall et al would have no hesitation in describing such actions as violent, and calling for police intervention.
Certainly they’ve had great success in calling for police intervention for much less. Having debased the concept of “violence” by including things like “misgendering” and “deadnaming” amongst Crimes against Humanity, they have no standard left of what “violence” is to draw upon, other than its directionality. Whatever they themselves do, it’s perfectly justified, and not actually “violence”, and whatever the damage or injury, whatever or whoever it might be had it coming. (It’s a good thing that JKR does live in a castle. I hope it surrounded by a moat that’s well stocked with carnivorous fish that won’t mind biting into the occasional sequin.) If genderists are the target, than anything above a firm “No” is incipient genocide.
The name ‘Trans Bash Back’ implies they were bashed first… but they weren’t. This is just the martyr complex talking. Refusal to share the pretence is not bashing, it is adhering to reality and using legal means to oppose mandated fantasy.
Cool, that’s a confession. Go grab a warrant to check their communications to see which individuals were directly involved and charge those people.
These Trans Activists remind me of the ‘Brexit Ultras’. Same obsession with percieved victimhood, same refusal to compromise, same total demonisation of real or imaginary political opponents.
