The thing that never happens
People across Scotland breathed a sigh of relief this morning when missing Galashiels 11-year-old Kaitlyn Easson was found safe and well after a multi-service search.
The police have arrested [EDIT: and now charged] a 53-year-old man in connection with her disappearance, named by the Daily Record as Andrew Miller, a local butcher. This was one of two names that numerous sources had been passing to Wings since the man was detained, but the two names only referred to one person.
That’s because for at least the last six years, Andrew Miller has been living in the village of Gattonside as a transwoman, under a different name. We’re not publishing that name or any of the other details that were given to us, so as not to prejudice the police’s investigations, but it’s already being spread around social media along with pictures of Miller’s female presentation and links to his female-named Facebook page, which contains numerous pieces of information matching Andrew Miller, as well as what now appears a rather ironic post from a few weeks ago.
On the same day as they posted the YouTube link to movie crossdressers, a separate Facebook account under the name of Andrew Miller had posted this:
A post in May 2021 from the same account identified Miller as “her”.
As does the account’s personal info page.
The Miller account is Facebook friends with the other account.
And what’s peculiar about all of that is that the then justice secretary Humza Yousaf confirmed in 2019 that Police Scotland record and track criminal incidents “according [to] the self-identified gender of victims, witnesses and suspects”.
Which means only one of three things: either Andrew Miller has undergone a sudden detransition, or Police Scotland have suddenly changed their policy without any public announcement, or that someone has told them to depart from that policy in the case of Andrew Miller, following a number of events in recent days regarding transgender sex offenders which have caused discomfort and embarrassment to the First Minister.
We must emphasise that we have no idea whether Andrew Miller is guilty of any crime, under that name or the one he’d been using for years until this morning. But the mere fact of his being identified as a man raises a number of concerning questions, the answers to which over the coming days are going to be very interesting indeed.
If he de-transitioned, he would be liable to prosecution under the new legislation, would he not?
Right focus. What he has or hasn’t done is for the courts to decide. Thankfully the lassie is OK. But you’re so right… This is a very very different approach to information release and, given how much sway the SNP has over how stuff is reported, is interesting to say the least.
I’m just glad the young girl is safe.
SHOOT! The $hit’s fair hitting the fan, iye?
Will be interesting to hear the Führerine’s response when she is quizzed about this – if she is, of course.

The bill is not an act and currently has no standing.
I know the details are just emerging but I really hope this does not involve anything that was sexually motivated.
This could prove to be very damaging for Sturgeon.

“Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP, Labour, Lib Dems, the Greens hang your heads in shame. Repeal that ridiculous GRR bill. We the Scottish Public don’t want it. Shame on you all”:
It’s time she threw the towel in. How long until these stories become daily. Is she really going to spend all her time in front of a podium tying herself in knots to save an unworkable policy?
Had a young family member by marriage put on sex offenders list for kissing a boy under 16 – the cops came to her house every month checked her phone www etc. In between she could have gone anywhere! Sometime the officer was on holiday or off sick & no one came to check!
Nicola,s handmaidens will not be swayed. If she says it’s all ok, then they think it’s fine.
I didn’t realise that the SNP was so full of stupid women!!
I see the Police described Kaitlyn as “safe and uninjured”. I pray the uninjured bit can be taken at face value.
Incidentally I see that Miller was not living permanently in a female identity, so maybe he presented himself to the police as David Miller. That would mean there are not the implications for policy that Stu speculates on.
Interesting departure, Rev, indeed. Just glad the wee lass is safe and well. When the police do their job, they do it well.
“Incidentally I see that Miller was not living permanently in a female identity”
Where do you see that? (Please note I removed the previous link you posted as it gives his female identity, which I’m choosing not to reveal.) Several different sources have confirmed to me that he’s been living solely as a woman in Gattonside for at least six years. Even his “Andrew Miller” Facebook account still identifies him as female.
“The bill is not an act and currently has no standing.”
Where is any bill mentioned in the article?
The names already been published elsewhere.
“The names already been published elsewhere.”
Yes, I know, that’s why I deleted the link. I’m not doing it here.
At last a good news story with the lassie being found safe and I hope and pray well .The story above is disturbing as if the police have been told to drop the gender issue in this case to spare the government anymore grief we are in a very dark place or should that read darker place as we are so far down the rabbit hole this would be a good time for the big nasty comet to arrive and put us out of our misery.
Sounds like the change to naming as a male is to take pressure off the FM not mentioning his other name, folk wouldn’t link him with trans community and the GRRB and the SNP/Greens.
Its an exercise in protecting the FM’s already shot to pieces reputation on the matter.
I’m really really trying to bite my tongue and I’m nowhere near as educated as most of you , but it would appear in my humble opinion that mr CM , who was very supported on here , should cut his losses and leave this debate
I need no replies and I’m certainly not entering into a tit for tat , men are men women are women end of story
Wait a minute. This person has been living as a female but was arrested as a male, yeah. What happens if this person suddenly decides to resume a female identity? Would the authorities be obliged to move the person to a female unit? I cannae keep up with this. There’s nae sense behind it nor logic in front of it. I’m so glad the wee lassie is OK and hopefully she’s getting the support she needs.
I look forward to the full and detailed investigation being made to the public.

Playing Devil’s advocate.
Is it not possible that he doesn’t actually claim to be trans but is just a drag queen/crossdresser. All drag queens are weirdos, but at least some know that it is a fictional persona, and may use female pronouns on that fictional basis on social media, etc, but don’t actually believe it, and report correctly as male in all official capacities.
Or it could be that he has simply maintained complete silence since his arrest, and his official birth sex has been released to the media as a result in lieu of a self-declaration.
Or it could be that he’s one of these gender fluid folks where it changes day to day or minute to minute, and he was just feeling particularly masc when he was arrested for child abduction.

I think it would be odd if they didn’t have one. Suppose, for example, a teenager says he or she is sexually attracted to dogs or babies? What is their protocol if that comes up when teenagers/children are ‘exploring’ or ‘questioning’ their sexuality?
What is their approved response then – to ‘affirm’? To challenge? What? I would really love to know what their official guidance is in such cases..

This is why the LGB community, and even what we’d call transexuals up til a few years ago need to detach themselves fast from the ‘Queer’ community. People who’ve spent decades, even centuries, trying to shake the image of them as sexual deviants and perverts are being dragged through the gutter by perverts, abusers, violent men, MRA’s and rapists.
We’re now seeing LGB acceptance declining because of this which must hurt coming from a position of just less than a decade ago when most sane, decent people fully accepted LGB equality.
And it’s down to politicians who support ‘Queer’ theory who are majorly responsible. If This person did abduct that wee girl, (and hopefully that’s all he did) and if the police are doing their best to cover up his Trans identity to save politicians being asked hard questions then this is a massive scandal and should result in the First Minister resigning along with several people close to her.
Sturgeon should be prosecuted for this insanity as it is giving a green light to these perverts and allowing them to play gender games to the detriment of women and young girls.
What a haven Scotland would become for sex-ual activities of bad Trans men from those wishing to hide from, police, courts and justice systems elsewhere if the gender law is changed here,
Male tourism would increase triple fold at least,

Spare a thought for the boys in blue. They’ll never get their heads around this.
Goodness knows it’s difficult enough trying to establish the identity of the Holyrood leaker. It appears that a journalist’s sources are sacrosanct, even if criminality is involved.
Glad the wee lassie is ok.
How did Sturgeon and the transcult turn Scotland’s largest party into a binfire of galactic proportions ?
Sturgeon has got to go. And soon.
Looking forward to all the cringing about what to call this long term transwomen.
I also hope everyone noted the BBC and Police Scotland trying to shield Nicola. Wonder why ?
Sturgeon says male rapist Isla Bryson, male rapist is a she.
SNP. Stronger for rapists. That is the Sturgeon philosophy. Unless of course you’re wearing a football strip that is.
In which case Nicola will be on the phone to her favourite crime novelist and uprooting your entire football club from Cumbernauld. What’s it called, the Scottish Nonce Party.
I’ve been praying for this girl since I heard the news.
As a father of young children, your innards turn to ice when you hear about a wean going missing.
Thank God and Police Scotland she was found.
But no thanks to the Scottish Parliament, which refuses to even talk about the problems Scotland has with men preying on little girls.
What was that wifies name that used to be in coronation street years ago, was it Deirdrie Barlow?
Re: Anne Don’s comment, some newspapers, especially the Times, both on its news page and Scotland page, have covered these issues for a number of years, however most papers have toed the line and reported badly or not at all. For the past 5 years I have scrolled through news pages describing “women” accused of rape, (attempted) murder, attempting to meet a child and also extreme/child porn and all but a couple have been males, most of whom had recently “identified” as a woman. Police have been charging males as women and courts using preferred pronouns thereby further traumatising victims and their families and distorting stats.
Having briefly been a criminologist, I’m very aware of the difference between male & female pattern offending and also that female prisoners make up a tiny percentage of prisoners (<5%). Women commit so few violent and sex crimes that even a handful of TIMs distort the figures especially as offenders with a GRC go initially to the women's estate and are counted as women.
@Towbar Sullivan re. “What is Stonewall and similar organisations position on paedophilia and zoophilia?”
Those without conscience (anything hellish imaginable is possible ?)…
One thing I will say in all of this chaos. Sex education is for secondary school , not for primary school.
Let children keep their innocence as long as they can in this crazy world. Childhood is a special time for all of us. They do not need to know about sex until they have sexual emotions.
Teaching them pre puberty just messes with their heads. All I cared about at primary school was sweeties, best man’s fall and Christmas. Let’s keep it that way.

Trans is an umbrella term for all types of identity that revolves around gender. It involves Transsexuals, Transvestites, Cross-dressers, Transgenders etc.
It is easily to get confused with this as most people think Trans are Transsexuals who are going through full medical transition to an opposite sex.
I’m sure the conspiracy minded folks will think this Trans umbrella term is designed to confuse and restrict conversation to allow dodgy behaviour to slip through to acceptance.
This can be seen where a lot of us, including myself, are talking about Transsexual people when we talk to genuine Trans.
When children are groomed with trans nonsense constantly by the constant miseducation they are not be able to tell predatory strangers or locals. Never mind opportunist bastards.
Women and children are not safe whilst this ideology is forced in us by law.
It is a farce , it is dangerous and it is not even recent, but by pernicious stealth it has infected with plenty financial backing every area of life.
And why women have had enough because we all live from childhood upwards with the threat from men, with the inequality with the sexualisation of us to make money to sell things. That no matter how hard you try to get a career there are many who will never see a capable woman as enough or ever give someone a start in case they eventually have a family.
Yet men are fathers and nobody withholds a job from them at the beginning in case they become a dad.
Extreme violence and porn are online, in games on a phone in a playground, girls get seriously sexually assault in schools these days and yet women impersonators are dictating that all safety all women must be erased from society. We have to worship at the alter of pronouns, we are criminalised for speaking up and pointing out fact instead of going alonv with lies and fiction. We are demonised in the media now for telling the truth. Those who warned that the Ge der Recognition Act would destroy womens legal rights were ignored. Instead the trans lobby piggyback respected the LGB credentials to promote something that had nithing to do with LGB nor straight men and women. The trans community lives in a world of fiction of self lies and yet has forced this to be everybodies priority at the expense of rights fought for by women for women and the general public still dont know half of what has been introduced at every level of society. In hospitals in prisons in home care the police and in schools.
And Craig Murray stick to what you know you are not helping here.
I will say what is fact autogynophiles are MEN and do OFTEN have other sexual deviances such as paedophilia. We don’t have to put up with them in women’s spaces or apeing women and they have no right to be near children. The sooner people start asking questions about this ideology in all it’s forms from the grooming of children to join the cult to make the rest of the women impersonators feel included, to the medical sterilisation of teenagers because they have been told to believe that they are in the wrong bodies, the quicker make criminals are always dealt with as male not matter what make up wig and clothes they are wearing. The quicker we hold up a mirror to this madness and challenge politicians the better because society is not safe.
Women have losts all of their rights and children are targets .

I’m not sure I can let that slide. Drag is not a medium I particularly enjoy, but it is definitely a form of entertainment with deep historical roots in theatre and (generally) very little to do with the gender ideology cult. These artists are males who have a stage persona. A very different things, and while I don’t enjoy it (the “shade” aspect is a bit catty/gauche for me) I don’t think it deserves to be lumped in with this which is very different.

There is a reason why these people are ‘marginalised’; it is just better that way.
@Gregor
The trouble – or at least part of it – is that they DO have a conscience (of sorts). They want to ‘liberate’ people from stigma. My question/concern is how far do they intend taking it? I would love to ask them what they would class as ‘perverted” – I am not sure they would be willing to apply that label to any sexual behaviour…
If the idea was to help paedophiles and zoophiles deal with their urges without touching animals or children, I would broadly support it – it must be a sort of living hell to be attracted only to kids or animals – but I suspect/fear that what they really intend is to ‘validate’ such desires rather than teach those affected with them to control them.
I think the very obvious end point of Queer Theory is to totally get rid of the concept of ‘perversion’. And that’s why I would really like to know Stonewall etc’s position on this.

I’ve read a number of news websites and there is no mention of the individual having a ‘female identity’.
It is possible that the Scottish police don’t want to get involved in the current political situation with Nicola Sturgeon and have not refereed to the individual as a female in any way?
Already, between reading various reports, the he/she different male/female names – make it incredibly confusing to read the narrative and understand who did what, to whom.
From a safeguarding position, that’s a gift to preditors. The first point of preventative, safeguarding measures is to ensure clarity.
A major aspect of violence against women and children, particularly within relationships, particularly sex motivated crimes (and I’m not attributing that to this specific case – the details are as yet unknown), is the Gaslighting that goes along with it.
It’s so much more fun for them to not just f— them against their will, but if they can mindf— them before, during and after, it provides them with so much more ‘bang for their buck’.
Mr Millar may or may not have presented himself to the Police with his birth certificate male name, or he may have used the female version – the self ID law allows for the person to change at will, it’s an unworkable piece of legislation.
Women say No to men in single sex spaces, however they identify. No compromise is acceptable here.
Stu
” “Incidentally I see that Miller was not living permanently in a female identity”
Where do you see that? (Please note I removed the previous link you posted as it gives his female identity, which I’m choosing not to reveal.) Several different sources have confirmed to me that he’s been living solely as a woman in Gattonside for at least six years. Even his “Andrew Miller” Facebook account still identifies him as female.”
You may well be right.
I was going mostly by the article you delinked, which called him a cross-dresser rather than a trans person, said he posted under both male and female identities, and was “also known as” his female name. But it seems you have firmer information.
If he is still posting on FB as Andrew Miller though, I still think the most likely explanation for the police statement calling him Andrew Miller, is that is how he presented himself to the police.
I am not going to make any replies to comments addressed to me about wider issues, on a thread about a wee girl who may have been harmed, which I pray is not the case.
I don’t quite see the legal problem with your revealing the female name he uses?

A butcher is likely to be pretty well known to a large number of customers.
Especially if living locally to his shop.
Certainly the shop being closed for some time led to many questions locally. Mostly around empty shops in the High Street and small businesses going bust. Initial rumours were about his mother dying I think.
Then, quite quickly, rumours spread that ‘he’s taken time out to become a woman’ (usually followed by giggles, exasperation, and statements of biological fact, politically incorrect or otherwise.)
When the shop remained closed after covid, the questions became louder and I think an article appeared in either the Border Telegraph or the Southern Reporter. This suggested that the shop would remain shut for a year or more but was still likely to reopen. So residents didn’t need to fear another empty shop front or a lack of competition and choice with the other butcher up the hill.
I think that article may have openly mentioned that he was transitioning?
Certainly there was no secret that ‘now he’s a woman’ (with the above reactions rehearsed every time).
To be fair to the man in question, who I do not know, an obvious possible NON-sexual explanation if the girl was found unharmed at HIS house (I don’t know, haven’t seen news reports), would be custody related. Eg if his transitioning turmoil was preceded or succeeded by marriage breakup, it’s always possible the girl is his daughter and denied custody, he has taken the law into his own hands.
The wider questions raised in the article are interesting.
Certainly locally everyone is well aware of his mismatched sex and ‘gender presentation’.
And to think that earlier this evening, having only heard that ‘a 53 year old man has been arrested’, I was discussing with a friend the lingering folk-memory of Robert Black. How Mandy Dixon’s life was saved by one quick thinking man in Stow, who noticed something unusual. A lack of clarity in reporting is certainly not helpful, as another commenter said!
Mental health nurses here say the impact of that episode still comes up quite a lot . Though whether parents haunted by their fears when he was at large, children whose free-range childhoods were suddenly restricted, or adults affected by the shock of realising what he was, if they had interacted with him prior to his arrest, I don’t know.
I am also puzzled how a butcher could afford to keep his shut for years? Unless he owns other shops and lives on their rent?
Will Christine Grahame be asking a question on Thursday? She usually likes to. But maybe hers wouldn’t get picked.
“Let us all remember we have no idea what happened yet. Remember the case of poor Christopher Jefferies in Bristol, heavily slandered as a murder suspect because he had blue hair and seemed a bit strange.”
I’m very well aware of that awful case, and explicitly noted in the article that “We must emphasise that we have no idea whether Andrew Miller is guilty of any crime”.

BBC (08/02/2023): SNP MP Stewart McDonald’s emails hacked by R(redacted)n group:
“An MP has told the BBC his emails have been stolen and he fears they will be made public.
The SNP’s Stewart McDonald said the hack took place in January and he wanted to pre-empt any publication sharing them.
The group responsible are believed to be linked to R(redacted)a’s spy services…
The message said there was a password protected document attached which had a military update on U(redacted)e.
This made sense as the MP for Glasgow South had taken a close interest in U(redacted)e for a number of years, receiving the order of merit from the U(redacted)n government…”:

They intend to take it all the way.
One of stonewalls founders condemned the direction they were taking. The trans umbrella they created now forces out LGB & fails to separate gender with sexual orientation. So anything goes. Now lesbians are branded sexual racists & gay men are transphobes if they don’t want to sleep with a trans.
The totalitarian trans cult has hijacked a gay rights organisation.
& Given Stonewalls article on children as young as two years old can *know they’re trans* & the twisted sex ed in schools to weans barely old enough to tie thier shoe laces – it doesn’t take a genius to know where they’re heading over the next few yrs if this nonsense continues.

On 13 January Mr McDonald was walking down the street when he received a notification on his phone.
Mr McDonald clicked on the document.
It brought up a login page for the email account he was using. He put in his password.
What a clown!

He can’t even defend his own email.
Looking forward to the next presser with Sturgeon petulantly insisting this guy was not a man nor a woman, or a rapist or an individual but a ‘kidnapper.’

McDonald’s account has been hacked. What sites he been clicking on? Naughty naughty.
I believe the root of the problem is the Gender Recognition Act. I recently signed a petition to repeal the Act. I signed because I believe that the Act is based on Postmodernist thinking, which denies that there is publicly accessible truth and objective reality. thus we get people talking about “my truth”. We need to return to Critical Realism (not Critical Theory) to have laws which are not simply promulgations of arbitrary power.
The following is part of the reply I received from the Cabinet Office.
“As announced in September 2020, we believe the current provisions in the GRA are effective and allow for those who wish to change their legal sex. The process has the right checks and balances. We believe that the process of legally changing one’s legal sex is a serious and legally meaningful undertaking which requires appropriate checks and a level of formality. We believe this strikes the right balance and have no plans to change it.
The Government is also committed to maintaining the safeguards that allow organisations to provide single-sex services, provided for separately via the Equality Act 2010. It is important that the principle of being able to operate spaces reserved for women and girls is maintained, in line with the Equality Act. Government is committed to tackling harassment and abusive behaviours by all individuals, and ensuring single-sex spaces are safe for those using them.
The Equality Act makes it clear that providers have the right to restrict use of spaces on the basis of sex and gender reassignment, whether or not someone has a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC), where this is justified.”
When the McDonald emails are leaked. He will now jump up and down screaming that they are fake. Those nasty Russians are out to get him.
He is getting his defence in early because he knows something is about to break.
His American Masters will look after him. They probably advised him on this strategy.
The SNP are now a joke, a dangerous joke. The Nicophants are still chanting “The best option for Independence” is the SNP.
No matter who takes over the SNP it is the same HQ, NEC, Politicians staffers and affiliates who will use the removal of Party Democracy to control policy.
Sturgeon poisoned the well to ensure her legacy.
Do you think there might be the possibility of a sex scandal involving Russian agents?
I do like a good sex scandal and there hasn’t been one since they introduced super-injunctions.

There was Lord Sevel in his orange bra but that had nothing on the Profumo Affair.

What a mess, SNP. What a mess. Good people tried to warn you all about this, but you condemmed them as bigots or TERFS. This is the outcome when the Scottish government listens to a wholly unfounded gender ideology, instead of factual evidence.
The SNP leadership would be well advised to heed the words of Walter Scott.. ‘oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to decieve’.
And all in the week, when the Fist Minister of Scotland tells journalists with a straight face, that her husband did not bother to let her know he was lending the political party, of which the FM is leader, over 100k.
As they say in Glasgow, ‘aye, right’.
This is a must watch.
Nae big words here!

Oh ye canny shove yer grannie aff the bus
A 100k loan not disclosed between husband and wife sounds like a marriage of convenience to me. Each to his/her own. “Look, we are normal!”. Aye Right! It seems to be prevalent among western politicians, these weird yet convenient marriages. They often end soon after no longer required. Just saying.
I’ll keep this short as I expect it will go into moderation anyway.
It surely can’t be long until we hear of some contrived reason why Sturgeon will no longer be doing her regular press conferences. ‘With COVID no longer a serious threat blah blah blah…’
Did you read by post about banned words & jobbie?
Look like at least two popular red top newspapers in Scotland have on their front pages the headline “Trans Butcher” referring to the story of the wee girl.
This will surely put more pressure on Sturgeon the Judas with regards to her unamended GRRB, and her own inability to know the difference between a man and a woman.

I did but then straight after that another longish comment at 5.12pm on the previous thread went into moderation and then a very short comment after that, noting it had gone into moderation, went into moderation… so I concluded at that point I was back to square one again trying to figure out what in the actual fuck is causing it.
(It has to be a racing certainty this now goes into moderation.)
It is funny I was thinking about it and I think this has happened to me a few times going back many years. I’ve started posting comments and it goes well for a while but then I keep falling into moderation and I could never figure out how to avoid it and eventually gave up. I swear it has happened at least three times. I just keep forgetting.
This must be a very challenging site to moderate so it is what it is but one thing that would improve it is if comments in moderation appeared at the end of the comments (as if they were new rather than at the time they went into moderation). I assume this is not technically possible otherwise it would have been done already. It is releasing the moderated comments ‘back in time’ that makes it a bit of a buzzkill.
Hi Ruby, you probably won’t see this either but I did replay above at 10.30 but it went to you know where… lol.

I agree the Act should be repealed because it is denying truth and denying the rights of the parents to have the truth as to the birth of their child recorded for all time.
There are ways to manage the embarrassment of people who wish to present as the opposite sex which don’t require everyone to be legally bound by a lie.
First and foremost, that wee girl has been found safe and well. Thank God and the fates

Whitehall puppet Stewart McDonald says that muscular Westminster won’t accept Scottish routes out of this prison of a union. We’re a country treated as a colonial cash cow, we must defy the foreign country of England’s government and collapse Holyrood and dissolve this absurd set up not in two-years but as soon as possible.
“In his paper, Mr McDonald, the MP for Glasgow South, said: “A de facto referendum, regardless of whether it takes place in a Westminster or Holyrood election, will not secure Scotland’s independence.”
With a “new, more muscular form of British nationalism” within both the Conservatives and Labour, he said even if the SNP won the vote the UK Government could refuse to open independence negotiations.”

From The National
Quote:
Stewart Mac Donald, the one troubled by Moscow hackers, called for a new national Yes campaign to get underway by summer to gather support for a demand for the power to hold a referendum which will be put “front and centre” of the next General Election campaign.
This can be achieved, he suggested, by putting a commitment to secure a legitimate referendum through a Section 30 order at the front and centre of the manifesto for the upcoming Westminster election.
The problem with SNP types is that dread killer of ambition, the risk averse Scotch lawyer caution mindset, all belt and braces and insurance policies.
Not a party going anywhere exciting. Indeed, was it ever exciting?
National Independence, the termination of a status quo, is essentially a revolutionary concept, an action SNP legalism, ineptitude and complete lack of intellectual engagement with the subject is leading to the (s)laughter-house of irrelevance.
There is no such thing as «cut price» freedom.

Until this vipers nest is gone there can be no further progress to independence. I am now pleased that the SNP ‘rebels’ have stayed in the party rather than jumping ship to ALBA, as it means that there might just be a handful of grown-ups left to pick up the pieces and put the SNP back together again. Then the SNP and ALBA can work together and get the project back on track.

I’m not sure I can let that slide. Drag is not a medium I particularly enjoy, but it is definitely a form of entertainment with deep historical roots in theatre and (generally) very little to do with the gender ideology cult. These artists are males who have a stage persona. A very different things, and while I don’t enjoy it (the “shade” aspect is a bit catty/gauche for me) I don’t think it deserves to be lumped in with this which is very different.
—-
If we simply compare the length of time drag has been a thing to the length of time trans has been a thing, then yeah, nobody can accuse drag of being a product of gender ideology, and must admit that they are different things, since drag clearly precedes gender ideology by millenia, probably.
However, in the modern era, there is no doubt that they are inextricably linked. Drag Time Story Hour, promotion of trans identities on the many “Drag Race” TV shows, Drag Queens dancing in clubs in Glasgow while signing derogatory remarks about women (according to our friend Jack “Beth, Pickle Bee” Douglas).
There may well be gender critical drag queens, but for the moment, not many have stood up against gender ideology. Understandable, given that they would be shunned by the community on which their livelihood thrives if they did speak out, but still, for the moment drag is very much in bed with gender ideology. Out of survival necessity, perhaps, but sharing a bed nonetheless.
Having said all that, I still the reserve my personal opinion on the practice of “drag” in general, regardless of its association with gender ideology. I have a viscerally negative reaction to men in drag which also precedes gender ideology, and so for me, personally, all drag artists are weirdos.
The story hour is indoctrination.
They’re reading gender woo woo to children.
They’re not reading The Lion, the witch & the wardrobe to them.
