  • An excellent but disturbing investigative podcast

    Julie Bindel’s excellent but disturbing podcast is compelling listening. Another example of the consequences of indulging the sacred caste of transgender ideology and the consequent child safeguarding failures. I hope that important lessons will be learned, but unfortunately I am not optimistic.

  • Episode Four

    I found this podcast and Julie’s presentation quite compelling, but episode four with Bev Jackson is a standout- incredibly articulate and insightful witness testimony into how past events and personalities shaped the horrors of modern day ‘Pride’ and Stonewall’s recidivist Trans dogma.

  • Poorly presented arguments and propaganda

    Context that should have been provided upfront: This is TERF propaganda masquerading as a journalistic investigation into the serious criminal case of Stephen Ireland.

    Writing as a lesbian from southern England, not Surrey. This podcast was not what I had expected from reading the description and listening to most of the first episode (I did go on to finish the series).

    The primary content is bad faith arguments, slippery slopes and strawman(men?) fallacies around transgender people and LGBTQI... more

  • Lacks impartiality

    This investigation into Surrey Pride’s safeguarding failures, and the institutional responses that enabled Ireland, is commendable. However, the podcasters’ overt ideological framing undermines their credibility. Presenting the issue almost exclusively through a trans-exclusionary feminist and LGB rights lens lacks journalistic impartiality and conflates correlation with causation.

    Ireland was pro-trans and a predator; his critics were anti-trans and raised legitimate safeguarding concerns. Tha... more
