...have had 100s of online horrifically abusive campaigns against any person, organisation, charity, or company who shows a scintilla of support for trans people, and if that doesn't work, they'll use their money to bully these people through the courts...2/

As an example, they organised a campaign called "Women Won't Wheest" to defend a woman who had harassed three people who support trans rights in their workplaces, and managed to bully the Scottish prosecution services out of prosecuting that woman. 3/

They will go onto dating apps and share private pictures of trans people with the sole intention of having those people publicly abused. They ally with the Religious and Far Right, and other types of fascists, with some GC people attending a Tommy Robinson rally last year. 4/

They have a "martyr" who they deify in the form of a deceased Youtuber called Magdalen Berns, whose image adorns 1000s of GC accounts, a woman who infamously spoke about trans people in the most horrifically militant and abuse terms. 5/

Wasn’t Berns also literally a Neo-Nazi?

aidancomerford.bsky.social•45 days ago

She was literally anti-Semitic, and spread the standard theories about "the trans lobby" being funded by a "cabal" of wealthy people who all happened to be Jewish.

They sell and buy transphobic merchandise, they do local transphobic sticker campaigns, when they hold a rally in a city they often go to pubs after those rallies with the sole intention of causing trouble and bullying those pubs afterwards with legal action if they response. 6/

There are multiple stories of GC people being ejected from venues for transphobic campaigning in spaces where people are simply trying to enjoy a night out. They often jettison most of their social networks, to the point that their only friends left are other GC people. 7/

Despite the fact Berns didn't want her image used after her passing.

Berns hated anonymous accounts, and yet they ignored that too.

It was her former partner who took a picture of her and didn't want Linehan to use that picture for his cheap memes, putting words into her mouth she didn't say.

That idiotic Birdy Rose was defending "robinson" in one of her youtube videos.

As you probably know, some in the GC movement, concerned about optics, wrote an empty letter saying they weren't for Far Right allyship, and it was largely ignored and forgotten, and most of the GC big hitters didn't sign it, because of course they didn't.

There was a time when they would have been very quick to say they had nothing to do with the Far Right, but they have been subjected to so little scrutiny by the media, that they feel they can literally do and say anything they want now without the general public ever really knowing or caring.

Praises and allies to Nazis and are plus holocaust denial too

aidancomerford.bsky.social•45 days ago

Back when they were still concerned about optics, they were worried about being associated with anti-Semitism through Jennifer Bilek. I remember Linehan baulking at first, but then he found one Jewish paper who were fine with Bilek and that vouchsafed him as far as he was concerned.

It's never been an accident that they agree with Nazis regarding the queer community. Why wouldn't they use the same tactics, given they hold the same views?
