A 53 year old single man has used a surrogate to procure a baby girl. He has a history of verbal and physical abuse against women. He was arrested for DV against his ex wife and has no contact with her or his young daughters from that relationship. He lives in Mexico due to an outstanding warrant for his arrest in the US.

I’ve never heard of this bloke, but it turns out he founded Girls Gone Wild, a porn franchise, and has been accused of r*pe, sexual assault and exploiting minors. This case is one of many which demonstrate why, IMO, surrogacy should be outlawed. There are no rules or regulations - anyone can buy a baby 🙁.

that poor baby has no choice in the matter. I hate surrogacy and I especially hate how babies can be bought.

Personally Im not too worried by seeing anyone playing dress up out and about. Although the person in a vibrant untidy dress and disreputable scraggy beard in the Post office queue did have me raise a mental eyebrow!

What got me was the trans woman in the communal ladies changing room at the gym/swimming pool. And the confused ladies not quite sure what to say! This was before covid, so years ago, at the time, i was bewildered, now Id go straight to management to complain!

Im very worried also about the reported number of trans children in British schools. I cant quite see how children / adolescents on any level, in the middle of questioning their places in the world and their identity as an individual, can be expected to 'know' exactly what gender they want to be? Especially when gender is such an open ended term. A girl shouldnt have to feel as if she has to transition if she isnt traditionally girly and doesnt like make up or boys. Wheres the support and discussion to help them?

you then get these trans men, who were once girls, who are often extremely short, and who dont look or sound remotely male, or remotely masculine, see Ellen Page. so what's the point? Or trans women, who were once men, who rarely look or sound or behave remotely female. To me this makes no sense.

And the mis use of language. What in heavens name is or was a lady fool? ( this idea seems to be much less prevalent than a few years ago, so hopefully this phrase is on the wane? ) And in reports, of someone who murdered his mother, you get a report about how 'they' murdered their mother, and I had to read the report 3 or 4 times to work out, who else was involved in the murder as well as the son, because to me 'they' is a plural. Only to realise that it was just one person, the son.
Or the idea of chest feeding? or birthing parent! What is so wrong with a word like mother? which actually is pretty similar as a word and concept world wide?
I know when I had my daughter in 2016 they tried to call it chest feeding to me and birthing parent. I said in the mother and I’ll be breast feeding. I’m not down with that tit. The nurse just winked at me as if to say I agree. I lived near Bristol at the time so as you can imagine they must get quite a few people in that category there.

The fox killer probably wants her to sue so that he can use it as an opportunity to fundraise.

JKR explained her stance in a clear and concise way. It's not her fault these dickheads lack basic reading comprehension skills.

It reminds of an argument between my Uncle P, a scientist and cousin F, a Jehovah's Witness. Cousin F kept insisting that P thought we came from monkeys when P made it clear that we share a common ancestor.

It all played out on Facebook to the embarrassment and amusement of the rest of the family, especially when we found out the JW cousin has a raging c habit.

I think this does actually explain it. Can you imagine the grifting opportunities! “We are so beleaguered and harassed, billionaires who WANT YOU DEAD are trying to SUE US INTO OBLIVION!”. Ka-ching.

He’s also nursing a grievous wound after she burned him over claiming they were friends, and I think this is his revenge. He would LOVE it if she sued him. For a(former) barrister, this sad little man really never did grasp the fact that getting tangled up in ridiculous court cases is no way to address your own feelings of outrage and inadequacy. As evidenced by his string of losses in court where judges have told him in the nicest legal ways to duck off and get a grip. I’m scarlet for him, playing out this descent into a ridiculous morass of his own making so publicly.

Love James Dreyfus.

And hate this notion of brining your authentic self to work. Why does anyone need to expose colleagues/students/customers to their sexual fetishes? I thought work was somewhere you went to, well, work. Be professional in behaviour and attitude. Dress appropriately for whatever work environment you’re in. Get the job done. Not use it as an excuse to get “euphoria” by flaunting your perversions.

As an HR wanker, I just want people to show up, do their job and not be a bleep to their colleagues (sometimes I get compliance, sometimes not so much - it's the not being a bleep that's usually the stumbling block)

And they absolutely don't want me "bringing my full self to work" I'd be hauled up in front of the MD by about 9.15am and on the first Metro home with my belongings in a box.

That... thing that has the used nappy fetish HOW DARE the courts and press try to pass it off as a female.

They did everything they could to avoid just outright saying Abbie Taylor is a transwoman/was born male.

We should be in our millions screaming in the streets at such horrifying defamtion of women and I know there are women who are really, really rying to fight this, and I cherish them beyond words, but how have we got here? How???

I ask this all the time but I can't get a grip on it at all.

Just like how misgendering a pdfile who then hurls the most vile racist abuse is seen by some people are more important to worry about/focus on than the pdffile being what they are.

Help, my brain is broken. :(

Your brain is fine, it’s societal norms that are broken. Common sense has been replaced, trying to normalise people’s “identities” & “be kind” is absolute nonsense.

😲 Just when you though the GLP couldn’t stoop any lower
Evidence (as if we needed any) that the Fox-basher is a pathetic "schoolboy" bully. This is hardly the action of a mature adult.

I think he's trying to provoke a reaction from her. he wants her to sue - it will give him a huge amount of publicity and when he loses he can bleat on about her bullying him because she has so much cash she can afford to go to court, live there if necessary, but he can't because poverty-stricken, and then he'll get the begging bowl out again.

Frankly - if I were JKR, I'd own it. I'd wear one myself! And I'd respond by saying "Yes, I am and PROUD of it!"

He's embarrassing. I could cringe on his behalf.

That's what all these inadequate little men want and goad her for - she gives them relevance and gets them noticed, otherwise nobody would care at all except their little gang of weirdos.
Hard agree.

He isn't worth the stream off her piss. He'd love to be far enough on her radar to be able to claim she's picking on him because of a "couple of harmless stickers". She' won't give him the satisfaction.

However, it wouldn't surprise me if she has her lawyer amassing a nice big pile of evidence, and one day drops the whole lot on him and he won't know what's hit him. If she does, it will most probably be because he is persecuting someone other than her, and she thinks "That's it - the camel's back has snapped, and you're going to get a taste of your own medicine."

If she decides to go to court, she'll hit him hard, fast, and totally out of the blue.
