David Paisley, an ex River City actor, recently abandoned his libel action against me. He was suing me for accusing him of enabling paedophiles. I wrote a defence, arguing that his rhetoric enabled paedophiles whether he intended it or not. I believe that the defence may be useful to others in demonstrating that paedophile enabling is built into the rhetoric of queer theory; it is not that a few activists have made safeguarding mistakes; safeguarding is a framework designed to uphold appropriate boundaries and thereby protect children; queer theory is designed to break them down.
Correction: this sentence is confusing or inaccurate:
“ This view of Paisley’s goes beyond self ID laws, which would allow any male with a gender recognition certificate to use the women’s changing facilities”
Did you mean “allow any male *without* a GRC to use the womens changing facilities”? In which case that literally IS what self-ID laws say, it isnt “going beyond” them.
So perhaps “This view of Paisley’s *supports* self ID laws, which would allow any male *without* a gender recognition certificate to use the women’s changing facilities” ??
