There’s an elderly Bri’ish tranny whose social media posting is mostly just retweeting standard TRA talking points. So far, so normal. That isn’t what got him mentioned in Parliament, so maybe it’s a stretch to put him here, but we need something amusing after the last couple of pages.
What did get Saorsa-Amatheia Tweedale mentioned in Parliament? His fashion sense. As a longtime civil servant and activist, including as one of the two co-chairs of the civil service LGBT+ network, he knows the importance of a professional appearance. Here’s the photo he uses on the LGBT+ network page.

This is not a one-off - he actually turns up to work looking like this. The Civil Service Code states that they should “always act in a way that is professional and that deserves the confidence of all those you deal with”. I suppose low-cut black corsets, fishnet tights with high heels and a pentagram choker inspires confidence if you only deal with drooling perverts. Watch out King Cobra, there’s another contender for your title of sexy bad boy goth.
You’ll be astonished to learn last year lesbians and women in his department complained he was bullying them in his promotion of trans ideology.
The two questions in Parliament are a hoot:
“To ask His Majesty’s Government what is their policy on civil servants wearing fetish clothing in the workplace.”
“To ask His Majesty’s Government whether they consider Bondage, Domination, Sadism, and Masochism to be a protected characteristic within the meaning of the Equality Act 2010.”
Totally not a fetish, you Tory terf!
Oh and here he is more soberly dressed
Imagine that yelling at you for not loving the girldique.

A Whitehall row has broken out over whether employees can wear “fetish gear” following complaints about a transgender civil servant.
Staff at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) have reportedly objected to the workwear choices of Saorsa-Amatheia Tweedale, who is a trans woman.
The row is believed to have prompted Baroness Jenkin, a Tory peer, to table two written questions in Parliament about fetish clothing and bondage.
It was not immediately clear whether Lady Jenkin, who was approached for comment, tabled the questions in relation to the row surrounding Ms Tweedale.
Ms Tweedale, 58, is one of two co-chairmen of the LGBT+ Civil Service Network and helped to establish the first transgender network in the department.
She is said to regularly wear low-cut black corsets, fishnet tights with high heels and a gothic choker with a pentagram when she attends the office.
“At a stretch it looks like gothic evening wear but really it’s very strange,” they said.
“If you worked in a bank or any office job, you couldn’t wear that kind of stuff, whether you’re a woman or a man… It’s a highly inappropriate attire to wear.
“There is an expectation [of] people in their role and that they would look appropriate to do that role.”
The Civil Service Code states that mandarins should “always act in a way that is professional and that deserves the confidence of all those you deal with”.
While many departments do not have specific dress codes, past guidance has specified the need to “present a smart or professional appearance” at work in at least “some instances”.
A written question submitted by Lady Jenkin last week read: “To ask His Majesty’s Government what is their policy on civil servants wearing fetish clothing in the workplace.”
A follow-up question published two days later added: “To ask His Majesty’s Government whether they consider Bondage, Domination, Sadism, and Masochism to be a protected characteristic within the meaning of the Equality Act 2010.”
It is not the first time Ms Tweedale has prompted controversy in the department.
Last year, civil servants wrote to Peter Schofield, the permanent secretary at the DWP, warning of the “chilling effect” of gender ideology.
“Lesbians and women generally in the department are being silenced in the workplace and our rights are being undermined,” the letter said.
The diversity ambassador has previously told civil servants who work in schools that children demanding puberty blockers should matter more than their “parents’ will”.
She also claimed the belief that sex is binary is not “the modern scientific view”, saying: “There are as many genders as there are individuals because we’re all unique individuals.”
In an online lecture given in October last year, Ms Tweedale said: “What really gets me is when you’re challenging a trans child’s knowledge of who they are and say that parents take precedence.
“That poses a big danger to women and girls because it challenges Gillick competency… it’s very clear, if a child is old enough to understand the consequences of the medication and treatment they are asking for, their will takes precedence over that of the parent.”
Writing on her X account, Ms Tweedale said in 2021 that gender-critical trade union members – who assert the primacy of biological sex – “make me laugh”.
During a row over Labour’s position on transgender issues the same year, she wrote: “I stand with Emily Thornberry. One of my best friends is a man who quite definitely has a cervix.”
The DWP and Ms Tweedale were contacted for comment.

Transgender civil servant wearing ‘fetish gear’ sparks Whitehall row
Staff at the Department for Work and Pensions are allegedly uncomfortable with the workwear choices of one of their colleaguesBy Dominic Penna, POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT4 August 2024 • 5:57pm
A Whitehall row has broken out over whether employees can wear “fetish gear” following complaints about a transgender civil servant.

She is said to regularly wear low-cut black corsets, fishnet tights with high heels and a gothic choker with a pentagram when she attends the office.
‘Gothic evening wear’
One source told the Mail on Sunday, which first reported the row, the attire looked “almost like fetish gear”.“At a stretch it looks like gothic evening wear but really it’s very strange,” they said.
“If you worked in a bank or any office job, you couldn’t wear that kind of stuff, whether you’re a woman or a man… It’s a highly inappropriate attire to wear.

‘Ideological takeover’
Ms Tweedale was singled out specifically amid claims she had played “a key role in the attempted ideological takeover” of the department.The diversity ambassador has previously told civil servants who work in schools that children demanding puberty blockers should matter more than their “parents’ will”.
She also claimed the belief that sex is binary is not “the modern scientific view”, saying: “There are as many genders as there are individuals because we’re all unique individuals.”
