When I lived in Fort Worth, there was a specific church that was known to be ... out there, and could be reliably counted on to give the most heinous quotes about minorities (queers, blacks, immigrants, etc.). So, the pastor's quotes appeared in the paper frequently.

Sex Matters are that "source"

Its almost as though there was collusion in a concerted effort to create a controversy where none previously existed.

Transphobia is a growth industry. 😬

And they’ve been cancelled 🙈🙈🙄🙄

And I’m guessing by comparison trans people barely featured at all with probably about a dozen or two times at most.

That would be my assumption but it's hard to track that sort of thing unless you go through every article manually because we don't have a core set of people like they do

Also, my bet is the people responding in a lot of those articles are cis representatives of the object of their scorn. Rare to see a trans person quoted AT ALL.

I'm an idiot, Kathleen Stock isn't even in those totals because she isn't Sex Matters.

Hers on her own look like this:
2017: 0
2018: 11
2019: 13
2020: 9
2021: 334
2022: 180
2023: 313
2024: 99

So, add those to the above numbers

james.claims•2 days ago

uh oh looks like her cancellation tour didn’t have staying power and she needs to go on another one in 2025 to get those numbers UP baybeeee

Damn, I too hate it when my voice has been silenced by the woke mob.

ciara2001.bsky.social•2 days ago

A whole lot of silencing going on there in 2021, an average of nearly an article a day

I shall dedicate this song to Kathleen

I'll have a more detailed post about it all this week, but I've been collecting lots of numbers and it tells a clear picture.

Obviously there is some duplication there as all of those people are usually mentioned in conjunction with Sex Matters.

But it's a picture.
