Episode 28: IT'S ALL GONE HORRIBLY WRONG 16.02.2025

Genderism continues to circle the drain. This week, Jack and I discuss the comedy stylings of the trans/nonbinary invading force at a council meeting in Worcester, Massachussets, recent figures showing a decline in support for “trans rights” in the UK, Labour breaking another election promise (but this time, it’s all good), the tragic reality of “gender-affirming care” and an employment tribunal i...

Episode 27: THE WILD WEST COAST 09.02.2025

LINKS Cynthia Nixon and t...

EPISODE 26: GENDERISM: IT DOESN'T KNOW IT'S DEAD YET 02.02.2025

This week, Jack and I discuss a variety of stories that lead us to conclude: genderism is deceased, it just hasn’t had the decency to lie down yet! Trump’s executive order against child sterilisation and mutilation, Whitehall ditching Stonewall, a tribunal ruling that a man can be called a man and moves afoot in the state of Queensland which could see the end of so-called “gender-affirming care”....

SOUTHPORT 26.01.2025

No Jandom this week as Jack and I discuss the aftermath of the Southport case and the trial and conviction of the perpetrator. There’s no lurid discussion of the grisly details of the crime; we’re more interested in the political and media response. There’s a palate cleanser as well in the form of selected Trump inauguration meltdowns. Jandom returns next week!
