It’s like a fan fiction account of what living with depression is like, from someone who has never experienced it.

She plays into the establishments' hands all the time.
"This person can feed three people on £20 a week, benefits are too generous."
"She's gone on holiday! Benefits are too generous."
"She has a laundry list of disabilities and yet still manages to take multiple forms of public transport to get to her AA meetings, she got to Edinburgh on the train, flew to Venice, disability tests obviously need to be stricter and they're too generous."
Why on earth would they silence her when everything she says and does plays into the narrative that benefits are too generous and if poor people weren't so feckless, and just budgeted better, then the amount paid could be reduced.
And as for the" special shops only selling basics ranges," that's such a Tory idea I don't know where to start. The only thing she hasn't said is that poor people should be given prepaid cards they can only use in special poor people shops.

It’s coming up to 7? Years since Jack came out as trans on Twitter , following a” full-on psychotic, awful, terrible” breakdown , months of psychiatric treatment and a referral to a gender identity clinic . So my guess for the new thing is how terf trolls have constantly hounded her since that announcement, a mention of the “ but I like girls babe” fiancée , how living her truth cost her relationships and jobs, and how recent “trolling” combined with facing the perimenopause/her recent miscarriages with Old Harold , speculation over her sexuality and that bot article she called out for discussing the contents of her womb )after she’d breadcrumbed by asking for girls names on Twitter ), has brought all that up again triggering her cpstd/ptsd,body dismorphia etc. a passing reference will be made to how she never claimed to be the most lesbian lesbian and how there’s always exceptions . There will be a tale of woe about her failed tinder experience and the extra challenges of dating as a sober single parent trans working class person in near poverty. Followed by how she fears that her mental health will continue to decline until she is able to attend a specialist gender identity/trauma therapist but sadly the tories have cut funding to those because they want all poor people dead . Brief talk about how they see other people set up crowdfunding for the therapy but as a poverty campaigner on the coal face for 10 years she knows the trolls would deliberately derail any one she set up as part of a malicious and organised tory terf attack . But if anyone is moved to help her scrape together enough money to get enough help to carry on her vital work , her is the PayPal
i think she will play the gender identity card purely because it’s the one that’s most protection to her and hardest to disprove. She’s not stupid enough to play the poverty angle again ( yet) , there will be too many questions asked if she goes for the cancer/heart attacks/multiple health issues angle . Playing the gender identity card will give all those delicious paypig squigs a nice glow of feeling of being one of the goodies when they donate especially for those of them who are gender critical but petrified of being called a terf .

TBH though no matter what she comes up with, no matter how upsetting - mugged at knife point by a band of walruses, or whatever - how does it excuse outright misinformation about price increases and how far a basket of shopping will go?
It can (for some) excuse the bloody awful behaviour on Twitter and her erratic TV appearances (and no-shows), but there’s clear evidence of misinformation she’s actively spread, and still doubles down on, which expose her as a fraud in her area of expertise.
I’m a bit over it now. The best part for me is that she’s now a subject of outright mockery and she’ll fucking hate that.

I didn't come here thinking Jack was a grifter at first, it was her behaving like a dick on Twitter that made me wonder if I was the only person thinking she was insufferable. I was not. It's been a big shock finding out of the extent of her lying and grifting and for me that's something that's happened over time. If you're just getting it in one go then it must hit harder.

How convenient that a day after a meeting with the Bluebird publicity team a dross thread about “jealous and privileged” detractors from a “socialist” account with a large following should appear. Carole, love: there are better things you could be spending your marketing budget on than a paid-for thread encouraging the sycophants.
As for Jack’s offloading of responsibility for her constant lies and awful behaviour: she bears the brunt of the blame but it’s becoming so clear that she’s surrounded by professional enablers who are monetising her instability. If she had any true friends or mentors, as she claims, they’d tell her this. If she truly is as unwell as she says then Carole and Rosemary should be giving her a hiatus and finding a strategy to get her out of public life, not encouraging this victimhood to make book sales and cuts of partnership fees.

Her whole health thing has really pissed me off today, possibly because I am struggling with my own. She only lists her 8000 conditions to moan about her own life, never to raise awareness more generally.
Especially anaphylaxis, if she really had anaphylaxis then as a 'chef' you would think this would be a massive area she might discuss and raise awareness of. Yet she's only mentioned it in relation to her own suffering..
Similarly the supposed arthritis, EDS, alcoholism, autism, adhd etc. It's entirely "jack focused". She doesn't use her platform to share links to good resources/charities/campaigns.
I realise I shouldn't be surprised, it's true to character for Jack. But I would tolerate her self diagnosed suffering a lot more if she at least used it to help raise awareness of those conditions in a constructive way.

Yes, what pre-teen boy doesn't dance a jig at losing his own room and having to share with mamapapa. His friends will be so jealous, now that the entire internet has been told. Thank God, kids are always really nice and understanding towards each other.

My biggest wish for you Jack, is that you stop playing the victim and take responsibility for your life and actions.
I know it’s never going to happen, but a nefarious asshat can dream. Sigh.

Perhaps they're using the compliment sandwich approach for making bad news easier to cope with:
"Mmm lovely food"
"Your book deal is cancelled"
"What a cute dog!"

Not traditionally feminine. Jack of the filler face, stunt hair, 77 lipsticks is not traditionally feminine? Yeah she’s had some short haircuts and occasionally had styles that are gender non-conforming, but overall she’s very much into the girly stuff. A couple of tat sleeves don’t make you unfeminine.
Also I’m posting some vintage Jack because lol.
