Thank you Jean. I had no idea. I have undone all of my reposts of her posts in the series, deleted a Substack post I published earlier today praising the series, and unfriended her on Facebook. When I went to unfollow her X, it appears that she deleted her account (again).
Thank you Kara that will mean so much to the women who have been her targets. I don't see why you should have to delete images of yourself. They are of you. But that's your choice of course. It's horrible all of it. I'm sorry for all these women. It's right that we call out our own though. Something the gender ideologues almost never do.
Having read and carefully considered everything you said here, I don't want to use her work at all. The avatar I used to use for this Substack was her work as well, so I have changed it. The one I'm now using is a photo of a t-shirt saying "Infamous TERF Writer," which how some goofball American gender ideologue once referred to me (a friend had the t-shirt made and mailed to me).
I am so thankful that you have spoken up. Thank you for being so articulate about the cycle of abuse this individual uses on women. Having worked with male sex offenders in a prison setting as a therapist I know these methods all too well.
This is not a smear campaign at all. It is a warning to women that even though we are in a movement fighting for women’s rights, there will be predators waiting to take advantage of vulnerable women. Unfortunately it’s not only men who prey on women but other women who stand beside us in this fight that can and do.
Be careful of those love booming you, attempting to get close to big names and celebrities, and anyone sliding into your DMs and being overly familiar with you. Don’t meet up alone, share intimate details, or get caught off guard. Narcissistic personality types will use anything you share with them against you.
Yes, I've worked with abused women for years. Charm is a MAJOR technique used by abusers. And there's a reason the abusive cycle has a Hearts & Flowers phase.
Thanks Jean for speaking out. I had spoken with a woman who had been on the receiving end of her unwanted advances, she needs to be stopped. So hypocritical to behave in such a manner while preaching publicly about women’s rights.
Thank you Jean this is really important to know. The photo of me she used must have been pilfered from FB. I was wondering how she suddenly appeared on X and became quite so prolific. This is predatory behaviour. I'm fairly new to X so I'm grateful for the guidance and awareness. I'll unfollow and delete posts.
She offered to help with doing pictures to help with advertising Māna Wāhine Kōrero honouring of Magdalen Berns #ThankaTERFDay2025 then proceeded to do a series of thanking terfs. *Insert eyeroll btw our video is on Rex Landy utube
Blimey! Thanks for writing and sharing this Jean - I’m “a bloke” but this kind of manipulation is not unfamiliar to me. I don’t think I ever engaged with the woman in question but I will keep an eye out now.
P.S. we grew up (or was ‘dragged up’ as my Dad would have said) in the same area of our home town (Atlantic Walk for me). My memory is of strong women of all ages - my mother, Joyce next door, that fierce woman in the co-op at the top shops, the girls I went to school with, etc.
Thank you so much for so eloquently clarifying something so important, Jean. I had seen veiled comments on Twitter for awhile, but no substance to them, so I ignored.

Thanks so much for adding all this really useful info for women.

Thanks Jean, very well written. Clear message and keeping it respectful by sticking to facts.
Thank you for writing this; it gives other victims the courage to speak up.
Decent of you to write this Jean. Go well.
Thank you Jean. I had no idea. I'm so sorry to the women who have been abused 💔

I didn't know anything about this so thanks for explaining what's been going on with this woman's behaviour. Forewarned is forearmed and all that.

I had no idea about any of this, spot on Jean for writing about it.

I'm truly sorry you had to endure this. I commend your bravery for speaking out
I salute you Jean.
