The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Spite: Gender Critical Conspiracies Reach the Ionosphere.

Many of us have joked for quite some time about where Gender Critical thinking is leading and today many of us where vindicated.

a tweet from Allison Bailey detailing a curious incident.

So to recap, and for those who can not believe their eyes, noted Transphobe and Gender Critical mover and shaker Allison Bailey had a Whispa bar (to American chums: it’s a bubbly chocolate bar or, as one person phrased it, ‘a shit Aero’) and a lemon thrown into her garden and she found her dog eating the chocolate bar.

Firstly: I hope her dog’s OK but it won’t kill it as not only is there little actual chocolate in an Whispa but British chocolate has very little coca in it anyway.

Secondly: she seems to think that evil TRAs (Trans Rights Activists) did it! This comes on top of Joanna Cherry claiming that being asked to move her seat in the House of Commons was due to her Gender Critical beliefs and if you think the conspiritiorial thinking ends there just wait because…

the secret message!

The exchange, again for those who do not find themselves able to come to terms with the jaws of hell opening (and also as way of a Alt-Text:) one commentator remarks ‘Wispa = Wi Spa [oh, trust me, we’re coming to that]/ Lemon = Lesbian’ while the other remarks ‘OMG.’

The reference to Wi Spa is an interesting one. Wi Spa is an LA spa where a transphobic customer had a very public meltdown over the presence of a trans person in the changing rooms that has led to a series of Far Right ‘protests’ reminiscent of Pizzagate and where one reporter had a gun pulled on him and another was hit by a lead pipe.

Just as Pizzagate ended with an armed man breaking into a Comet Ping PongPizza with a gun so this may well end with someone getting killed. it’s not like Gender Criticals have not demanded armed men protect them (or that armed men have not protected them in the case of The Proud Boys and wOLF.)

Turns out that it was some pesky kids who threw the chocolate into Bailey’s garden so that’s alright. Or was it?

a poster claims that it was actually trans people who did the and paid the children off.

I’m scared someone is going to be killed.
