Now, let me introduce you to Paul.
Paul is a computer programmer, keen swimmer, sextagenarian, husband and father.
Paul has expressed no fears of using the gents', because, well, why would he?
Around the time this picture was taken, Paul's doubt was mounting, along with the number of accounts he held on social media.
Then, over lockdown, like thousands of others, he decided to grasp the nettle and regenerate.
He calls himself Anne now, and while building up the courage to present, with a straight face, as a woman, he also developed a remarkable self belief.
This regeneration constitutes ... a wig. Hormone patches / pills to 'feminise' and stunt his production of androgens, maybe. Perhaps he's had surgery? I don't know, it seems unlikely as 'Anne' is just three years old, but I doubt it matters.
Living under that the wig, as Anne full time, he is entirely convinced is some kind of sacrifice to the social contract which earns access to women's same sex spaces.
He paid his dues, looking like that all the time. Fucking hell. His offerings must be valued even, if like Van Gogh's ear, it's a useless and creepy 'gift'.
In his granny skirts and blouses, he has given us all we need. Of course he should be upgraded.
No fucking exile into unisex space for him. He's not scared of the mens', he used them for 60 odd years, and he knows he doesn't pass, but he is entitled to the ladies. Look, at the SKIRT, as Butterflies and Wheels so succinctly put it.
'Silly games' = objecting to men in women's spaces
Sharron Davies here hits the nail on the head: this sense of entitlement is a peculiarly male one. We as women have been socialised and raised to be considerate in terms of impacting those around us. Men, it appears, are often enough taught the exact opposite.
"Not Becoming" - Get Fucked, Paul
After the initial tweet went viral, gaining well over a million views and just a few hundred likes, Anne attempted to style it out, claiming to be "overwhelmed by the number of people who have gone out of their way to state their concern and offer their support"
If you're wondering what Anne would have said five years ago, wonder no more:
And for those of us not in favour of this guy using the ladies:
"I'm sorry but I will continue to exist, I am not going away. It doesn't matter how much you lie about me I will still be here when you have run out of things to say'.
What lies?
Who wants him to cease existing?
No one explained.
For the three years until that day, Anne had never received a single hurtful comment or been treated as if he wasn't a woman.
Take that, tranocidal maniacs! TERF island. 'Notorious British transphobia'. Epidemic of trans-hostile hate crime.
For three fucking years this man walked around in a shitty wig and everyone he encountered complied with his delusion.
As for the 'lady in question', who misgendered Anne by giving a key to the unisex changing facilities, Anne was magnanimous and kind. Send her to DIE, he said;
Course, 'Anne' meant Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity. I'm sure this wasn't Freudian - Anne/Paul is the polar opposite, a living, breathing rejection of this psychodynamic therapeutic lens!
The next bit, of course, began some days after the initial viral tweet.
He was still at the hotel, volunteering at a swimming event. Volunteering because he was not swimming; it was the summer championships, and in that changing room was a large number of semi-clothed and naked teen girls.
Still, Anne used the changing room as a 'walk through' to access the poolside and then to use the toilets. It looks as though rules already existed regarding this, British Swimming twice refer qto reminding volunteers and staff.
'She came and told me. How intimidating must it be to be a girl, changing in a women's space, when this happens? And these girls feel that they can't complain in case they get labelled as transphobic."
Parents complained, as possibly did the girls. It is purely the intense pressure on people to fear being labelled transphobic, to pretend to see no difference between 'transwomen' and women, that stopped him from being dragged out by the sucker pads on that heinous wig.
You have to wonder what 'Anne' would think about it if his daughter were to experience this...
Regardless, Anne was resolute from the beginning: he was fully entitled to use the ladies and take advantage of any scheme set aside for our benefit;
Between the viral 'fucking angry' tweet and the news British Swimming had reaffirmed their rules, I had a little look at Anne's Facebook. On Facebook you can view someone's likes and follows, if not completely locked down. And on Anne's I found a relatively short list, dominated by gender inanity, and peppered with sissy pages.
Sissy porn / hypno / captions is a porn genre that is based on the most degrading stereotypes of femininity. It has such addictive properties there are survivor / recovery groups, a cult expert has described it as 'weapons-grade mind control'. It appears to act on the user as if a degenerative disease, and some of the most depraved child abuse I've heard of involves men in its grasp.
As identification as trans has risen exponentially, so has this pornography. These men wank themselves into a state so disconnected from reality they demand to be seen as women. Eventually whole earlier lives are rewritten, revised to include a dysphoria that never was. (Dr Em writes on the phenomenon here).
It makes this response to the incisive and highly knowledgeable StillTish remarkably transparent.
There is, of course, more. For example, the anecdote of someone who once knew him, and this bizarre question on Quora;
I have some deep seated sense of horror / shock / shame set in my bones. I feel I can relate to Paul / Anne's family.
I almost don't want to write on the subject, feeling sure someone close to him will be reading all that's said, with a building panic brewing within his children and spouse.
His wife must be devastated, as his children, with growing fear and mortification as new details come to light.
In fact, in a way, I can feel a sort of pity for him.
He never intended or thought this would follow - his life as 'Anne' has obviously been spent deeply online, during an intensely 'trans affirmative' - in fact trans-obsequious, worshipping, deifying - cultural madness, that has monstered objecting women to the depths of folk villainy.
Of course he felt safe up in his ivory tower.
Imagine the crash, in how he feels now compared to two weeks ago? He's fallen from insisting on forcible trans sensitivity training to deleting every single social media account. He must have had to confront some of the upset he's caused, some situations he never imagined he'd need to answer to. It looks very much like he is trying to hide something.
Anne has kept a few blogs: some as Paul, where he shared his thoughts on politics.

Interestingly, Paul was much in favour of freedom of speech, and refers to the 'abysmal' legislation against inciting hate on the grounds of sexual orientation, where he recommends Rod Liddle's analysis, of all people. He was sceptical of anthropogenic climate change and strung it together with stultifyingly dull mathematics trivia.
As Anne, he had at least one, at Medium, where he recounts his difficulties in convincing one of the women in his swimming club to accept him in the women's changing room.
Dubbing her Myra, a name that fell out of usage after the moors murders and remains inextricably linked to those horrific deeds, he explains how, rather than accepting her stated discomfort, or even suspecting that maybe she spoke for other members too awkward to be as honest, he decided to challenge her. He took her for a drink, to try allay her fears. She remained uneasy, but he was determined not to be othered, shunted to a different space, as if he isn't a real woman.
Presumably his family have been surrounded with the same culture as any of us - affirm, be kind. He may kill himself if you don't handle this right! Whatever your memories of him years ago - wife, siblings, parents, children, friends - what you thought you knew about him, reframe it, now.
Any previous awful behaviours (violence, abuse, cheating etc) are rewritten, and on repeat: "he was struggling with gender. He must have hidden it from you for fear of your reaction! Can you imagine how hard it must be for him?"
I hope his wife finds some good support and bears no associated humiliation or pain.
Of course, I would urge her to leave him. But it is her life and not mine.
And why would I urge his wife to leave?
It could be she is entirely aware, or maybe she was too scared to look. Or perhaps she was blissfully unaware. But it doesn't sit well with me, without prior knowledge they are in an open marriage. He appears open to any sexual encounters he can find:
And it appears she is still his partner:
As reported by several accounts on Twitter and in Reduxx, one of Paul / Anne's followed accounts was discovered to be one that produced written porn on breastfeeding.
"One story, titled “MILF Milking Masturbation,” describes a woman who breastfeeds an adult man while masturbating him"
The picture accompanying this, what appears to be someone crashed out in a onesie with bumflap, is uncomfortable viewing;
And then the pornifed stories, with images of babies being breastfed:
As a mother who breastfeeds, I may be especially biased here, but it disgusts, appalls, frightens and enrages me.
There are some obvious elements to this - one, autogynephilia; loving the idea of oneself as a woman. These men frequently become so enthralled in the fetishisation of women's biological processes they will demand to breastfeed, steal used sanitary products from tampon bins, fake periods with anal or neo-vaginal mixes tomato juice etc. There is also voyeurism (reduxx reports the photos on 'Lola Down's' blog may be taken without consent) and, disturbingly, paedophilia.
So onto the last, grim aspect of Paul's online hangouts:
Despite deleting his accounts, his name, handle and three favourite words 'Tmesis Petrichor Cadence' turn up a huge number of results. While his posts are expunged, I found his name under a number of worrying sites / pages. If I am implicating him wrongfully here, on perhaps the grounds I do not understand how these sites operate, I am fully prepared to rectify this and apologise. I hope I am wrong.
Warning: disturbing and graphic images and descriptions.
Please, do not search out these images and in case of discovery of similar, report to relevant authorities.
And on these links I found genuinely disturbing content;
What you can see in the top left is the Mastadon icon. Are the limits of pseudo-photographs so fucking lax on Mastadon? Is Anne merely linked by the use of tags? I honestly don't know, but it raises some horrible questions.
'Evil taboo' 'loli' and 'age difference'
More breastfeeding fetishism;
Hebe - the sexual attraction to adolescents.
