Burning from the Inside

This was my contribution to the Genspect ‘The Bigger Picture’ 2023 conference on Saturday 29 April 2023. The event was a fantastic collection of presentations and robust discussions and I am thankful I was invited. Please consider supporting Genspect. Also, sorry I have not written for years, real life has got in the way. When I was asked to contribute to this incredible event, I offered a talk…

Comunes denominadores y discursos en torno a los niños transgénero y qué significa esto para nuestra población lésbica y gay

En el Reino Unido, el centro nacional para la evaluación y el tratamiento de niños y adultos jóvenes con disforia de género es la fundación Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, con sede en Leeds y Londres. En el documento “Gender Identity Development Service Statistics” podemos ver que entre 2009 y 2010 se les derivaron 56 casos de hombres de nacimiento y 40 de mujeres, y un solo hijo…

Valeroso y despampanante: Pippa Bunce, la nueva imagen del trasvesti

Resulta que nuestro querido amigo Pippa Bunce vuelve a salir en las noticias porque, como sorprende cada vez menos en este desorientado, enredado y agitado mundo, nuevamente consiguió penetrar en la lista de las 100 Principales Mujeres Ejecutivas del Financial Times. Esto es un gran ejemplo de la estupidez que surge en nuestro mundo feliz, donde se nos dice que la igualdad es para todos y todo…

El pene femenino, el techo de algodón y la guerra cultural contra mujeres y lesbianas

Debería haber un lugar adonde las malas ideas vayan a morirse. La primera que habría que mandar en un viaje de primera clase sin boleto de regreso a las profundidades abisales debería ser eso que coloquialmente se conoce como el “techo de algodón”. Acuñado por un pornógrafo, hombre “lesbiano” para más señas, el techo de algodón se refiere a la barrera con que se topan las transmujeres cuando se…

A Plea for Third Spaces for Transmen and Transwomen

You can sign this petition by Fionne and I by going to the Change.org link.

We are Fionne Orlander and Miranda Yardley, both of us transwomen. We recognise that we, as transwomen, are biologically male; we are not the same as women and our lives differ from those lived by women. We are asking you to support our call for the provision of Third Spaces for transgender individuals of both sexes.

From lesbian and gay liberation to equality

This was my speech at the well-attended inaugural meeting of the LGB Alliance at Conway Hall in London on the evening of 22 October 2019.

What is liberation? Freedom from artificial and unfair barriers. For lesbians and gay men this is sexual liberation, the freedom to love the people we want to love.

This was achieved at a cost: Pride was a protest, what started fifty years ago on…

Letter in Support of Dr Michele Moore

Addressed to Ian White at Taylor and Francis, publisher of ‘Disability and Society’ in support of Michele Moore who is being harassed by the Transtapo.

Dear Mr White

I write as an advocate for transsexual rights, to express my appreciation of and support for Michele Moore as editor of Disability and Society.

I am aware there is a petition against Michele which criticises statements she has made…

Hidden AGender: Drag Queens and Gender Identity in Schools

The propagation of drag queen story time in schools is less about lesbian and gay acceptance, rather it is all about pushing ideas about ‘gender identity’ which is these days used to describe an innate feeling of being female, or being male: of course this makes no sense, one cannot know how it feels to be anything other than oneself (see eg Wittgenstein’s ‘beetle in a box’). It reduces being a…

A Full Life Uninterrupted By Transition

This essay, which looks in detail at the different types of transgendered behaviours, was my contributon to the book ‘Transgender Children and Young People’, published by Cambridge Scholars. Since then, the phenomena of ‘Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria‘ has gained attention, and my chapter may be read in context of ROGD being another type of transgender identity that primatily affects girls and…

The Miranda Yardley Index on Censorship

On this years ‘Trans Day of Visibility’ (see how they nick Mother’s Day?), here is a collection of some of my best censorship ‘hot takes’ where transgender activists and their allies, all of whom are anti-democratic and against free speech, have gone out of their way to try and gag me.

When a Transsexual is Prosecuted for ‘Transgender Hate Crime’

On Friday 1 March, ten months of uncertainty and fear for my public reputation came to an end as a District Judge told a CPS prosecutor that the prosecution they were bringing against me for harassment under s2 of the Protection From Harassment Act 1997 was a baseless, politically motivated case and should never have come to court. I was awarded costs from the CPS, and this bizarre farce where a…

Regina v Miranda Yardley: More DARVO from Helen Islan

In the Daily Mail today “Britain’s first transgender hate crime trial is halted after one day as judge says ‘there is no case and never was a case“, the complainant against me Helen Islan tries to distance herself from the proceedings which were brought in her name:

‘The decision to prosecute was made by the CPS, not me personally and I accept the verdict of the court.’

It does not…

A Formal Challenge to Morgane Oger and Brad Dirks to Debate Transgender Issues

“The Queen’s Challenge”

Miranda Yardley and Jenn Smith are hereby challenging Morgane Oger and Brad Dirks to a structured, live, online debate on issues related to Transgender Ideology. The title of the debate was conceived as a result of the fact that the Queen is the head of state for both Britain and British Columbia and thus all participants are either subjects or citizens of the Common…
