Good morning Tony fans, hope you all had a nice weekend. (Including Kiddo but not you, Tony, hope you didn't take him to see your favourite drag queens.) Anyway, Tony has a few TikToks I thought I'd archive here. There's another where he whinges about Candace Owens but it's boring and these are at least mildly entertaining.
Hawaii covers tranny surgeries (
archive). Mildly funny because among other things Tony says that hair removal reduces the violence faced by twanswimmin.
Based Florida (
archive) won't cover troon medical experiments, which is a logical step given there's no evidence "trans medicine" does anything helpful as we've covered ad nauseam.
"Trans king" Michael Dillon (
archive).
Wasn't planning to write anything about Tony's video on Laura Maud Dillon / Lawrence Michael Dillon, as I'm less interested in historical figures where we can say they believed themselves to be special gender souls trapped in a body of the opposite sex, rather than being transed posthumously. But Tony tells some tall tales about Dillon so I felt compelled.
"One of the first transmen to take testosterone allowing [her] to fully pass as male". I mean TIFs have an easier time passing than TIMs (eg Tony) but press X to doubt etc. Here are some pictures of Dillon as a young woman before starting testosterone:


And a two-up with Tony after he says she "fully pass[ed]", the photo of Dillon having been taken
in the late 1940s:

(Edit: Also, you can tell this photo has been doctored.)
St Anne's College has
a biography of Dillon on their website. "Born Laura Maud in 1915, Dillon grew up in Folkestone with [her] aunts. [Her] mother died of sepsis just days after [her] birth and [her] father of alcoholism ten years later." Dillon grew up in a "state of semi poverty". Put another tally in the "woman troons out because of past trauma" column.
"[She] later became a naval surgeon". Tony seems to think this made Dillon
an actual surgeon rather than being a ship's doctor. Dillon enrolled in medicine at Trinity College Dublin in 1945, graduated 1949, and worked in a small hospital 1951-52.
"[She] would later perform orchiectomies on transwomen". Actually we know of only one, on TIM Robert / Roberta Cowell, before Dillon had qualified as a doctor. Cowell spurned Dillon's affections and then Dillon ran away to join the merchant navy as mentioned above.
"[Her] pioneering transgender medicine continues to help trans people to this day". Question marks after all parts of this sentence. The most we can say is that Dillon was an early guinea pig for testosterone use by women and an early victim of female phalloplasty. Her book Self is really just banging on about transgenderism being innate and so troons should be drugged up and hacked up.
Bonus points for her surgeon falsifying her medical records (top-quality care!) and Dillon herself acting like an arsehole to other women. (Just like Margaret Anne Bulkley / James Barry, who Florence Nightingale called "
the most hardened creature I ever met".)
Dillon died in 1962 at just 47 of a mystery illness. I've no evidence on which to base speculation, but I'm sure we're all aware of the "complications" (intended results?) suffered by post-op troons today.
Last but not least Tony gives us
a list of picoaggressions acts of genocide via "dogwhistles" (
archive) that we should all add to our KF post checklists.
- Saying trans-identified male (TIM) or trans-identified female (TIF).
- Using "transwoman" instead of "trans woman"
- Saying "biological woman" or "biological man"
