You are distorting the Truthout article as usual... It's about drag artists supporting Palestine (which seems to me a more interesting and serious issue than "A kiss gone wrong "). And an example of an alliance between two progressive causes...( but I think you don't recognise transgender rights as a progressive cause ). If drag " peaked" thirty years ago why are you so riled up against it... meanwhile " International Transgender Day of Visibility has occurred on March 31st since 2009. It has been on that set date for 15 years."

This may be the worst article I have ever read of yours. And they have been going downhill lately.

So you are indignant about other people being indignant. There are much more important things going on in the world.

Good morning all. I've got the windows open to clear out the smell of sulfur after the visit from our angry Progressive. Poor fellow. But where are you, the approximately 383 other readers of this piece ? Cat got your collective and individual tongues ? You, too, can tell me the piece is bad but do register an opinion on the subject itself. https://continentalriffs.substack.com/p/luis-rubiales-vs-jenni-hermoso

I think that the case against Rubiales is a storm in the puddle…its not at all about defending women’s rights…the question is If it was a sexsual assault according to the Spanish law or not…anybody could be the subject of sexsual assault…although Hermoso claimed that she didnt enjoy the kiss, but this kiss wasnt really to enjoy, it was a victory kiss, What happens after important victorious sport events doesnt is? and she didnt seem to protest against it during the action, so maybe she gave her consent? Maybe….and when she is makeing joke and laughing about it with her playmates, it could also mean that probably it doesnt really hurt her feelings either. But you never can really tell…

This case must be about something very different, when 81 players of the team is protesting against Rubiales and want him to resign, than a day later they were making joke about the story in the team bus and scandal Kiss Kiss Kiss to him…this can not be taken seriously…but it definately has its effect on Rubiales life and makes a joke of and distort real sexual assault cases.

(you asked ) "May I ask you what your compelling interest in the Transgender cause is, why you feel the need to make it center stage here ? "

(I quote from your article:

"The virus has already come ashore in France. Women are being charged in court for not using ‘correct pronouns’, and for calling the transgender mayor of Tilloy-lez-Marchiennes a man. Men are too cowed to do so. Liberals, alternatives, further left, all silent.

It’s possible, isn’t it, to be a defender of women’s rights and find the Spanish case, as I obviously do, a tremendous load of bollocks ? Or must I be cancelled yet again ?" ....

(I am not "silent" !). My answer

As a "defender of women's rights" your writing (this article included) is not very credible particularly since you don't see the connection between misogyny and hatred of transgender people, the connection between all the rights to control one's own body (for women's right to choose and transgenders' right to choose) but when I searched the question "do statistics exist on transgender victims of murder and violence ?" some interesting links came up. The hyperlinks are lost but you can copy and read the entries manually (Funny word that "manually" ! )
