The other thing that is notable about this is that the moment he received pushback, Piers just collapses into a sputtering mess.

This class of 'pundit' has become so used to going unchallenged that they literally don't know how to deal with it. Embarrassing it took so long for this to be exposed.

I'd have not consented to having sex with a few ppl had I known what a prick they were behind lies and deception.

If I or any other woman took this to the cops we would be laughed at and called a slag for not being careful who we open our legs to.

Ciara Watkin is in prison for being transgender.

Remember, this is how much it has cooked people’s brains after like one year. Think of what 10 years of this will do. Think of the brains of kids who will grow up not only unable to spot AI but unable to understand “real” and “AI generated” as two different concepts.

Great point from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Millions of us absolutely do see what's happening to the USA.

"We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends."

This is horrifying. Now she'll be placed with men in prison where she is at extreme risk of being raped and sexually assaulted. And then she has to register as a sex offender.

This is all because a man was ashamed he was attracted to a trans woman.

Screenshot of a BBC News article. The text describes court proceedings involving a person named Watkin, who will serve a prison sentence in a men’s facility with measures to minimize risk and maximize support. It states that Watkin must register as a sex offender for 10 years and is under a lifelong restraining order from contacting the victim. A police detective is quoted saying Watkin concealed her sex, and the victim would not have consented had they known. The article ends with the detective expressing hope that the case’s conclusion allows the victim to move forward.

Imagine if some woman was like "this guy ate me out but then I learned his dick was two inches shorter than he told me it was. I want to prosecute him for rape."

A man gets a blowjob from a trans woman and his friends make fun of him so he goes to the police to claim she lied about being a woman. She was convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to nearly 2 years in prison because of a man's shame.
