Monday 18th October - Sex n’ Drugs n’ Pronoun Trolls LOUDWIRE: The director of a music festival is ‘taking a step back’ after making so-called ‘transphobic’ comments about the use of pronouns in email signatures. Vicky Hungerford was the principle talent booker for Bloodstock, a leading UK Heavy Metal festival. Last week she attracted the vitriol of the gender stasi with a now-deleted comment on social media.
I love how the masked gimp with the weapon threatening atwood is a-okay for twitter, but correctly stating that rachel levine is a man leads to suspension.
"So-called ‘monsters of rock’ are throwing a tantrum over a bit of pronoun mocking and think they can lecture about inclusion to a woman who has spent two decades working in the most male-dominated genre of an already male-dominated industry." - I've always worked in male dominated industries and it is hard. Really hard. You literally have to work twice as hard to be considered half as good. They will make snide remarks behind your back, exclude you from the boys club and give you the shittiest jobs. Just look at the first so-called female four star general. The ONLY reason they are the first is because they were a man right up to recently and enjoyed all those rights and privileges that men have in male dominated industries. Wouldn't it be nice if the first woman was actually a female? As someone who has loved metal all my life - I'm disgusted at the prostrating they put Vicky through, only to have her "step back".
I wrote to the Financial Conduct Authority about their quota system letting cockfrockers in. I swore - used the word 'bloody' as in 'bloody ridiculous' and I got a letter back.
Thanks for your concerns. I've passed them on. Now I need to warn you about abuse and how we don't like it and you better watch out, TERF. Nicer than that, but that was the reply.
“Taking the time to properly educate herself for a better understanding”. Definitely the language of freedom of thought and conscience, there. How could anyone think this is a cult?
I'm really disappointed this woman didn't tell them all to take a running jump instead of kowtowing to these authoritarian areseholes.
Wow, that is some unique interpretation of "gender dysphoria" that Freddie has. Two pregnancies apparently not triggering but the words woman and mother send them into a testosterone-popping litigation-happy crisis.
Thanks once again ,JL ,for the update ,even although it made me more angry. . Well done to all the brave ,principled , people who stand up to these misogynistic bullies ,but why oh why do some people make gringeing and sick making apologies to the TRAs ,simply for speaking the TRUTH. I would cut my tongue out ( or my hands off ) before I would apologise or retract , either verbally or in writing ,a single word of proven fact !! Caving in to the bullies does the GC movement absolutely no favours ,but only gives the other side more power. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile !! We cannot afford to compromise or make any concessions whatsoever when women's rights and children's safety .are at risk . Iagree totally with Posie Parker among others on this issue .What kind of person ,regardless of philosophical belief can think it's acceptable to threaten an 81 year old WOMAN ,or indeed any WOMAN with death ,rape etc ? Utterly despicable !!
With Attwood I am left with the mental image of a coward throwing innocents at an approaching monster in order to try and save herself instead. It only increases my respect for all those people who have shown courage in the face of this monster and stood their ground despite the personal consequences.
Admiral “Rachel” Levine has ALREADY stolen a “first female admiral” from a real woman. Copying the following rage from another site, wish I could take credit:
“The first female 4-star admiral was Michelle Howard, a black woman who actually served in the Navy and commanded US Naval Forces as a real admiral. By contrast, Levine is not female, and has never served in the navy or any branch of the military.
“Howard was also the highest-ranking African-American in the US Navy, but let's erase all her achievements so someone who was a man until the age of 50 (and still is) can be awarded a distinction that he doesn't deserve because it's LGBTQ+ Revisionist History Month (during which homosexuals are being completely ignored).”

The festival organisers issued a statement to say that she will be “Taking the time to properly educate herself for a better understanding”.
Pitiful and creepy.

Ahh! Oxfam. That infamous refuge for kiddie fiddlers and sex pests.
As a lifelong metalhead, this is embarrassing.
Anyone who's so easily offended that a promoter venting about pronoun bullshit bothers them should stick to Coldplay.
Lemmy will be turning in his grave.

I stopped giving a shit a long time ago when it came to offending anyone.

God I really hate this planet sometimes - in particularly America. What the hell happened to them.
I'm really sorry about what Im going to type but I have to type this out because I need to let it out....
FUCK RIGHT OFF AMERICA.
FUCK YOU RIGHT IN THE EAR.
Thanks I feel so much better....not really but this is just tragic.
