    Episode 144: Tickle vs. Giggle Round Two

    We discuss the recent outcome and wider context of the pivotal Australian legal case Tickle vs. Giggle. Its specifics involve a bloke joining a female-only app, but the case has all encompassing consequences for how single-sex law is interpreted and applied in Australia. With examples from court, such as Sall Grover, Giggle's creator, being fined $10,000 for laughing for 2-seconds and so breaking the tension of faux seriousness in such a ridiculous situation, the case represents so much of the dilemma transgenderism causes for women and institutions. Plus, how the American right came late to care about the trans issue, maternity rights as a break point, why Australia has an advantage over Canada in battling transgenderism, and the backlash to transgenderism as a contributing factor to the rise of populism.

    Episode 143: The Labour Party in Crisis

    The Labour Party is in termoil and Keir Starmer is hanging on for dear life as PM. We discuss who the next leader will be, the Mandelson scandal taking more scalps, Stella Creasy dancing while Rome burns, the parliamentary Labour party’s ‘chumocracy’ of former third sector wonks, and why Reform will win big on May 7th.

    Episode 142: Do Men Need Their Own Spaces?

    We discuss whether men should be entitled to their own single-sex spaces using the example of Men in Sheds, a club set up specifically for men that has recently been infiltrated by their wives and female partners. We also consider why exceptions to the rule should never guide policy, the reasons why women want to join men's clubs that cater to very male hobbies, and to what degree women have power over men.

    Episode 141: Transgender Perversion

    We discuss why men who claim to be women by identifying as transgender are almost all exclusively perverts. Using Lacan’s concept of perversion and what perversity of mind entails we link fetishism, sexual offending, and the need for others to collude in ‘disavowing’ the rules of reality. ‘Transwomen’ are guided at all times by the knowledge they are men, so the idea they are a woman is not quite a delusion, but rather a perverse way of relating. This creates an integral need for others to affirm and validate that false claim as a source of collusion in their ‘disavowal’ as if the laws of reality somehow do not apply to them. Why is Lacan’s concept of the perverse useful? It offers a theoretical psychoanalytic perspective why ‘transwomen’ continually raise the stakes, push boundaries, and why an erotic charge accompanies it, as well as their incandescent rage when the other won’t pretend and agree they are women. It also explains why there’s such a higher than average rate of sexual offending for ‘transwomen’ and a confident belief that anyone at all would join in to pretend that men can be women.

    Episode 140: The Killing of Noelia Castillo

    Noelia Castillo, a 25-year-old Spanish woman, was killed by euthanasia on March 26th in Barcelona. Her case gained worldwide prominence due to Noelia’s status as the first person granted to die of euthanasia in Spain due to mental health issues. We discuss the case, euthanasia’s knock on effects on other services, the UK’s defeat of proposed assisted suicide laws, and how euthanasia laws are an acceptance of institutional failure.  Plus,  Anna Khachiyan’s dehumanisation of Noelia in the final hours of her life, pre-Christian Europe’s relationship with death, the book Do Not Go Gentle, and why Noelia’s life need not have been one tragedy after another.

    Episode 139: The New Unpopularity of Transgenderism

    Transgenderism is in rapid decline across the UK and U.S., demonstrating it always was a social trend and without institutional backing would fold. We discuss how in contrast homosexuality is not a trend, is transhistorical, and not geographically contingent. Plus, Trans YouTubers views falling off a cliff, lesbians continuing to call themselves 'non-binary' to signal desires and expectations rather than adopt a Trans identity, detransitioners providing good warnings by example, and the legacy of the uptick in Trans due to Covid lockdowns.

    Episode 138: The War on Iran

    We discuss the recent war on Iran launched by America and Israel, focusing on why regime change in the Middle East through interventionism has no precedent of success. Whatever happened to Trump's sentiment of America First? And what will the impact on our economies be? Plus, liberal democracy, chaos in the gulf states, and why so many feminists from a place of good intention support the war.

    Episode 137: The Green Party Would Have Us Live In Hell

    We discuss the Green Party's by-election victory in Manchester last week, how the Greens marry support for Islam with support for woke transgender politics, and why they’re likely to be the opposition government at the next General Election.  Plus, the new political reality of sectarian voting, the meaning of the niqab, the paradox of multicultural vulnerability, and the middle-class slowly disappearing as part of the economic third worldification of the UK.
