Appreciate the feedback, everyone -- I've had a busy few days so couldn't reply sooner. I shall update the OP later with the extra information people have graciously provided.
It's true that Colin falls short in terms of deep lore/entertaining personality quirks compared to most of the major trooncows, but IMO what he lacks in originality he makes up for in sheer aggression (and smugness, and shit comics). His willingness to get down and dirty with the Gender Criticals in his replies could facilitate a more exciting discussion as opposed to, say, Erin Reed badly covering US politics, or Zinnia Jones whinging about how life is meaningless and everyone sucks. The big Stinkditch cows have been rather lacking in energy as of late and I think Colin could provide a nice change of pace. That being said, I can definitely understand why someone less easily entertained by dumb Twitter slapfights might find him dull, or just sort of annoying.
Anyway, I'll give it a couple more days before submitting this OP for mod approval, and see what comes of it; if the consensus is that Colin's not yet interesting enough for a full thread, then I'll gladly leave it to simmer until someone digs up some serious dirt on him/he does something very funny. It was fun researching and cataloguing his antics nonetheless.
Colin regularly picks fights with developmental biologist Emma Hilton. This time, it's over the science of colors and whether yellow exists.

LMAO at how both sides failed in this interaction -- the trans activists by apparently thinking that the existence of colours proves sex is a spectrum, and the Twitter GCs for being so determined to contradict everything the transgenders say no matter what that they forget what a gradient is. Colour is a spectrum, sex is not. What an absolute train wreck. Great work everyone.
I will give that trans women experience transmisogyny, but until a trans woman is told what she can and can't do with her own uterus, I will not give that they experience misogyny the same as cis women.
Perhaps they
experience misogyny (on the occasion that they pass), but does that make them
victims of it? If I choose to stand outside in a storm and my new jacket gets soaked, am I a victim of wetness? TIMs choose to subject themselves to misogyny, and can opt out of it whenever they wish by detransitioning. Real women aren't afforded that luxury.
How about this?

Colin gets caught colluding in gayops to try and entrap James Esses into saying something objectionable, by pretending to be a teenager with dysphoria. (Esses is the therapist who was summarily sacked from his university course for his anti-troon views, and has just won the resulting court case.)
Actually, I came across Esses' article in the process of researching for this thread! I'm fairly sure it was actually a teenager pretending to be a concerned parent of a trans child, in order to access Esses' list of therapists encouraging exploratory therapy -- or "conversion therapy", as TRAs would call it -- for kids with gender dysphoria. The teenager then sent the list through to Montgomerie on his request.
I considered the article for inclusion in the OP, but I honestly don't think what happened was as remarkable as Esses made it out to be. If Colin had maintained contact with someone whom he knew to be underage for an extended period of time, it'd be a different story, but it's reasonable to think he wasn't aware this person was a minor. Was it dishonest? Definitely. Unethical? Yes.
Predatory? Not really. Most trans activists would have done the same in that situation. Maybe I'm just desensitised to grooming, but it doesn't seem like it would damage Montgomerie's reputation if it came out.
Thanks for finding his other socials though. Will edit them into the OP.
Great thread! One little autistic thing, 183cm is almost exactly 6 feet, not 6'1. I know because I'm 182 cm and a bitter manlet.
Ah, my bad. I just calculated it based on 1 in = 2.5 cm 'cause that's what I was taught in school. Next time I'll convert my units properly.
. The power of filters!
) -- that's the newest info I could dig up. It probably isn't unreasonable to assume he's still working at Broadcom.
