Previous: Blog Sex
In pt. 2 of our News on News special, we were struck by an uncomfortable possibility.
Our guest Matt Osborne claims he’s seen many wonders in the press (TP): TP has been affirming Ziz’s gender, & never, ever insinuating that transness is an extreme ideology which will lead one barrelling down a slippery slope towards the fringes of society.
We, in TP, have seen quite the opposite— we have seen all that Matt wishes to see: misgenderings & gloomy insinuations abound! Shaken, we asked ourselves: has there been a switch-up in the ether? Are we receiving Matt’s gloomy coverage (GC)? Is he receiving our wonderful coverage (WC)? We urged him to visit this page on zizians.co to pick up his GC immediately, and ofc to promptly send us all the WC we’ve been missing out on.
We commended Matt for his chosen pronouns “we/us/ours”, then fell into a scuffle.
Is having a blog enough to make the media respect yr pronouns?
Is “passport sex” different from “legal sex”?
Is it worth anyone’s time to “deplore” the way modern nation-states dole out official sex markers (OSM) to every single one of their citizens? Here we… actually decided it was worth our time: we made up w/ Matt, whom we invited to chat w/ us at his convenience abt imagining bold, OSM-free futures. & as a token of our goodwill, we took his evocative phrase, “it is time to add ‘blog sex’ to the list of abominations” back to the Strange New Vegan Death Cult Murders crit room.
While in crit, we uncovered the best line in his entire article. Unfortunately, this led to us uncovering the silliest things in Matt’s many-hatted résumé.
Not only does this self-declared expert historian write for an “international alliance” of HRT fear-mongers & detransition pushers— he publishes his own magazine of “gender criticals/sex realists” & “heretics of the magic genderwoo”. Whooo! W/ this in mind, we could not wait to see how Matt performed the rest of his daring & expert routine! We… saw a few wobbles, &, fearing for his safety, called for an intermission, during which we both retired to the Green Room to hobnob & to avail ourselves of some delicious sandwiches.
***
Sandwich in hand, we tackle Ms. Matt Osborne afresh, only to find her laying out the red carpet for Ms. Andy Ngo! An unexpected pleasure!
We lay out our red bingo dots as Andy lays out her unique theory re: Suri’s fake name, & her equation of their old chosen name w/ a criminal alias. You, Matt, call this Suri silliness an “object lesson in the madness of transgender identification and legal names (OLITMOTI)”, & note, perhaps unnecessarily, that this OLITMOTI “has so far gone unexamined and unaddressed by the broader media. No wonder Ngo keeps scooping them” 😑
Next you commend Andy for “consistently” using the wrong pronouns “throughout [her] coverage of the Zizians story”, & say something that makes us stop, drop, & roll!
You say:
As a result, the media channels which platform Ngo also default to correctly-sexed pronouns.
& you cite, as your example, a clip of The Hill’s morning show: a clip called “The Bizarre Story Behind the 'Transgender Vegan Cult' and the Arrest of the Alleged Leader (#transrights)”! Which aired for their 2.08 million YT subscribers! 🫣
You say, referring to the show’s liberal anchor:
He makes no attempt to correct Ngo or filibuster on transgenderism as an animating ideology of the group.
This, on first glance, made us clutch our poor gf in fright. Was that mesmeric Andy such an influencer that she, single-handedly, could make previously indulgent anchors drop their gender-affirming façades? Did this explain the general façade-dropping we, in News on News, have witnessed? Could façade-dropping be a social contagion? Oh, how frightened we were!
Then we read yr quote, Matt, for a 2nd time. Matty Matt Matt! Haven’t you seen the liberal news lately? They are no more indulgent than yr conservative news— they just use a more boring vocabulary 🤭 It is not surprising that a liberal anchor would misgender our cabal: he does not need Ms. Ngo to peer-pressure him into this!
***
It is time, Matt, for yr big finish. We hope you have dined; we anticipate many fine twirls!
You start w/ repeating yourself, saying in grim tones that, “As we have seen here” (have we?), “legacy media organizations are hesitant to focus on the ideological influence of transgenderism.”
We want to repeat ourselves too! Give us just one sec to scroll up &… yes, here it is: “We… have found you many, many examples of reporters asking whether there is something extreme abt trans identity”!
To your credit, you plow on, claiming: “it is cast as a wacky species of ideology, something out of the ‘transgender mainstream,’ (SOOTTM) and also complicated by other influences — veganism, rationalism, anarchism, and transhumanism.”
By "it", we think you mean “the Zizians”, not “the ideological influence of transgenderism”. We also love the word wacky, & don’t deny that from certain angles, it describes our “Zizians”— but only from certain angles 😢
Anyway, we dispute yr claim that Ziz & friends have been cast as SOOTTM. We see them— or rather, see their tragically scary & cartoonish shadows— being presented to America as a revelation of “whoooo trans ppl are”. This troubles us so much that we’ve made a whole site abt it!
As for your “complicating influences”… we applaud your inclusion of those rascally Rationalists as a Complicating Influence 👏👏👏👏 We have never ever, in News on News, seen them read so harshly & overtly before. Then we wonder if you heard abt transhumanism from Ms. Ngo, who maybe thinks it’s a trans thing? It’s not a trans thing, it’s a techie thing we don’t have time for. Our suspicions are raised only bc no one other than Ms. Ngo connects this philosophical/cultural movement to “the Zizians’” alleged bloody crimes.
Then you repeat yourself again, but w/ an exciting twist! A twist so exciting, we had to read it out loud to our gf & demand she tell us: what is Matt talking abt?
The thought-leaders of the cult [Ziz & Gwen] are affirmed, for there is a sufficient amount of written evidence in which they refer to themselves as transgender. Everyone else in the Zizians death cult is presumed innocent of preferring pronouns unless they are dead.
Missus Mattilda, do you not prefer pronouns? Did you not just falsely claim that poor Ophelia “is awarded posthumous pronouns (APP)”? Did you not just bemoan that poor Emma gets APP? (You did, tho we, w/ our weary readers top of mind, omitted this ¿dubious news.)
Then you soliloquize:
I am not making these rules, I am recording them. Historians seldom consult news archives (CNA) unless they want to see how the original story changed over time. “The first draft of history” almost always needs factual corrections and updating as new facts emerge.
We… unlike you, are not a self-declared historian. But for what it’s worth, we think there are prob. lots of reasons why historians CNA! We agree w/ yr 2nd point tho, & think it is well-phrased. Unfortunately, we have no clue how either of these points relate to what you just said, or to what you’re about to say:
To date, the story of the Zizians in the media is a concerted effort to avoid asking whether the gnostic splitting of gendersoul from fleshbeing might have some uncomfortable ideological suggestions for darker minds like [Ziz] LaSota’s.
How is your fleshbeing, Matt? Are you feeling okay? We always forget what “gnostic” means; we had to google it, & found some options for what you might be telling us haunts the ~dark mind~ (DM) of Ziz:
• A lower, ignorant god created the fleshbeing, which traps the divine spark of the gendersoul.
• Salvation comes thru esoteric knowledge of one’s gendersoul.
• Jesus came to reveal secret knowledge abt our gendersouls, & wake us up to our true gendersoul nature.
• Reality is divided into 2 realms: our higher, purer gendersoul, & our lower, corrupt fleshbeing.
Any of the above, Matt? Our own DM is haunted by the possibilities! Write a sequel immediately & let us know!

Next, Matt, you return to fangirling Ms. Andy, who you say is the “Only [one] speaking sense.” If the choice is b/w you & Ms. A., then… yes, she is pulling ahead! You point out that Ms. A. points out that “prosecutors face a difficult task of proving LaSota guilty of a criminal conspiracy”, which 😮💨 cheers us up tremendously! Then you compare the Zizster to Charlie Manson, & say a lot of fiddle-faddle abt deprogramming, which for your information is called, in Zizian terms, “jailbreaking”.
Then you say some v. bad things. You, out of the blue, speculate on v. personal details of Ziz’s & friends’ transitions? & you say you “feel most” for their parents, bc their children are, what, caught up in gendersoul gnosticism? Keep yr crocodile tears, Matt, & keep yr grubby little mind off of this poor cabal!
Next, you say v., v. bad things. You compare our cabal’s parents to “the parents of ROGD and AGP children.” Boy was this the google search of a lifetime! Typically, Matt, we’d compliment you as one acronym aficionado to another. But you have used acronyms for a terrible cause. You have used them in reference to rapid-onset gender dysphoria & Ray Blanchard’s disgraced autogynephilia hypothesis! Also, you are comparing the parents of trans kids to the parents of trans kids: your comparison is trash, & so, we fear, are you.
We fear you are trash, Matt, bc as your final twirl, you say that “Legacy media resists telling [a] story with all their might.” Which story do they resist? It is not so much a story, Matt— it has no setting, no arc, & no real characters. It is more like a terrible & heinous slur against transness that you have just made up in your mind, & published on Substack for your 6k subscribers to see! We will not publish it here, out of love for our dear readers— whose numbers we are now determined to see outstrip your piddling stats, Matt. For shame! Friends & enemies, this concludes your News on News. Security will now escort Mr. Matt out— oh, Matt, you don’t deserve that bunny!
***
Our ‘comrade’ slot is again wide open! Puh-leeze, help us fill it by spreading counter-narratives, & by fighting the good fight against tragic media representation! In other words, by doing the opposite of what you have witnessed Mr. Matt attempt to pull off tonight. Until next time:
adieu & adieu & adieu, to yeu & to yeu… & to yeu!
We are, for the 2nd night in a row, blocked from Bingo in 3 different directions! 1st, bc Matt gave us no New News, bc he knows none. 2nd, bc to his eternal credit, he seems not to know abt that fiendish Unnamed Site. 3rd, bc his is not a liberal rag, & so he does not monger fears abt young ppl “meeting online”. Again, to his credit.
