I was always suspicious of him, even before I knew about him using women-only facilities. Stella O'Malley once did an interview with him and his wife, Stephanie. Both O'Malley and Hayton were heaping praise on Stephanie for patiently "taking it" when Hayton was diving headlong into transition. But that poor woman looked absolutely shell-shocked. She had this sort of empty, defeated look in her eyes. The interview was vague on the details of what, exactly, she was enduring, but we've all read trans widows' stories by now.

The fact is that "gender critical trans women" are still men, most of them have a fetish, and that fetish is their number one priority. No matter how logically consistent they are in public, you don't know what they've privately subjected their wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters to behind closed doors. Their own sexual gratification will always take precedence over respecting women's boundaries.

I think he sees GC women as the ultimate validation tool. He gets to preform his fetish around mean old TERFs who are somehow still too polite to tell him to fuck off.

….well then they aren’t actually GC then. Just because you identify as something doesn’t mean you are something.

I agree with the first part of your comment

but Orlander.......... this dude? who manipulated supposedly 'gender critical feminist' women into funding his elective cosmetic surgery (edit: now up to £10,552) during a pandemic?

who gets women to say stuff like this?

Any man who still adopts the "trans" moniker is no ally to women period. period. no matter what pretty words they appear to say, look at their actions. and what women end up being forced to do and say at their behest.

"This 'but I've been a good ally' card reflects a misogynistic view of women as vending machines - you put kindness tokens in and get a reward - not people. This is the same thinking found in 'friend zone' and other manifestations of rape culture. My personal favourite bit, is when a supposed ally tells us silly little ladies to put our silly principles and analysis aside for their feelings. What an ally eh? What respect for what we have been arguing." - Dr EM

this is a women's movement, it is women's voices and needs that are valuable here. ... the truth is that women's needs should be enough. Validation of those needs by males are and should be unnecessary. Males do not speak for us, full stop.

Yes, always. We used to be Twitter moots before I got banned (about 2 years ago now so I'm willing to bet she defos won't remember me now lol), and she's always fucking amazing. Never changed, never compromised on her values. A+ woman 💪

no probs, I agree, it was excellent. Here's a link to the post on it in case you missed it

What else could she mean saying that a woman's video, informed by child development and safeguarding frameworks, is a "personal attack" on an "ally", telling her to "use [her] energy to fight the real enemies of women’s and children’s rights", which is exactly what claireOT was doing...

She is saying we should not counter his false claim that a 3 yr old could possibly have an adult paraphillia, because this is an "Attack" and to "Direct her energy" elsewhere.

To say that we should respond differently than we would to any adult male arguing that 3 year olds have sexual desires and sexual perversions, that young children get turned on, is saying that we owe him something, at the very least that we owe him our silence, simply for acknowledging a biological fact. it's preposterous.

Here's claireOT's response to Brenda, for which she was blocked:

Yes, it’s a personal reflection: what we might call a “retconned narrative”, because children of 3 are not even aware that Johnny isn’t actually a dinosaur, even if dressed up as a dinosaur. Child development is very well established. 3 yr olds cannot experience fetishes.

My response is not a personal attack. It is simply an observation that Hayton is using “Adultification” to lift children (from age 3!!!) out of safeguarding frameworks. Any child of that age exhibiting sexualised behaviours needs an urgent safeguarding intervention. He knows this

Teachers are highly trained in child development, and in safeguarding. Hayton is presenting his “personal narrative” in a way that ignores the training he had, which shows that what he is saying, is impossible. Cui bono?
