I’m not an expert, but — Eddie Izzard, red lipstick on moustached lips, in a leather jacket and wearing thick black eyeliner, is SCARY. I’d be so terrified of him in a woman’s single sex sanctuary. And just look at the photo of Marilyn behind him. How dare he presume to be the same sex as her! Not only delusional, but super f**king disrespectful!

The shame of it is, I had respect for him as Eddie (even Eddie in a dress, it didn't particularly bother me). But calling himself a woman and adding she/her? The more audacious these kind of blokes are, the more they are welcomed with loving arms. The more these blokes take the piss, the more stunning and brave they are...

And he’s convinced he looks just like an older woman? Really.

It's funny isn't it, he can clearly not get away with the younger man pretending to be a younger woman act, so has plumped for all older women look like ugly old men so I pass act. Nice one Eddie. What an absolutely stupid and offensive thing to say, he's really trying his best to butter up his potential voters isn't he? It's like a guiding star for some men and the misogyny pops out when they're really pleased to see us.

Lipstick on a pig would be less jarring. And I used to like Eddie and his attempts to speak and crack jokes in other languages. Had no issue with his penchant for dresses or shiny boots when he wasn't claiming to be one of us.

I used to find him funny too. I can’t respect him anymore because I think he’s lying. He’s seen some sort of opportunity for himself in the trans movement and he’s jumping on that train.

But “it gets better “, because older women are easier to impersonate? No thanks.

There are a few of us here that did. He went from funny and interesting and maybe you could call that edgy, to 'edgy' then fell into LARPing full time. He believed his own creations and crashed through his own fourth wall somehow expecting us to follow. Sacrifice our own lived reality to indulge your peccadillos more and more until you're flat out delusional? Nah love, we're alright thanks. His venturing into politics again makes my heart sink. It's all about him, him and more him. Oh aren't middle-aged men's crises getting spicy. It used to be affairs and sports cars.

The arseholes that will ‘like’ him now will have no idea how funny and original he was , in the good old days , sigh

I'm no oil painting either, but no one thinks I'm a dude! My partner picked up a photo of my foster daughter with her mother and brother, and asked who the man in the center of the picture was; it was, of course, my foster daughter's mother (poly-substance abuser).

Perhaps we need special spectacles to see Eddie the way he sees himself!

Look in the mirror, wanker, and try to see your actual face not a delusion! I always heard that nonsense about men and women looking more alike as they age, and I utterly deny the truth of that. The only women I've seen who end up looking like men -- and even then not as ugly as Eddie -- are serious substance abusers / smokers. And men's heads seem to have a tendency to look more and more like pumpkins as they age, Eddie's resembling a caved-in jack o' lantern after Halloween.

The use of female pronouns for the Canadian female Green 'leader' makes her "feel hurt and isolated." Not fit for purpose. However will she help save Mother Earth if she cannot accept her own biological reality? 'Be-clowning' is right. A super right-wing man has just won the Conservative Party leadership here in Canada -- based in large part on the left's woke agenda. What a mess. Any chance of a decent democracy handed over on a queer platter. The 'woke' damage seems to be never-ending, top to bottom. This new 'Conservative' leader is a smart version of Trump. Truly scary.

More whining from this same poor 'misgendered' Green 'leader':

“in moments like these I wonder — how can I ensure other people’s safety if I can’t even ensure my own?”

Obviously, she can't.

If she cannot see how 'trans' ideology is smashing safeguarding for children, young people, and vulnerable women -- there's no way on God's Green Earth she should be responsible for other people. Blind, narcissistic, incapable of recognizing consequence, these deluded people think they should represent others? Clearly, they're in it to proselytize the cult.

If any one has a spare few minutes it’s worth looking at this piece of propaganda from Reuters (which required the efforts of a journalist and two editors) and then clicking on the “Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles” link at the bottom of the article to see whether you think it complies. I don’t think it does. The Trust Principles include “Reuters shall at no time pass into the hands of any one interest, group, or faction” and “the integrity, independence, and freedom from bias of Thomson Reuters shall at all times be fully preserved”, but there they are reporting as fact that 2 year olds know that they’re born in the wrong body.

Thanks for this. I used to do a double take when I read 'Reuters' or saw the logo as they used to be well-regarded and worth a look. But they dropped any pretence and went batshit a fair few years back and so I like to hold anything under that label as far away as I can as it stinks. I wonder what it was, what link to some huge donor or foundation that swung them.

Jimmy Dore did a piece on Bill Gates and how he was the most hated man in the 1990s. Then he spent a small chunk of his billions on buying media and voila! no one mentions how hated he is now, though you could check in with some North Dakota farmers (he just bought more farmland in ND).

The Grafs are possibly the best argument against surrogacy, aka buy a baby , that I have yet seen. Here are two people who unless they were very unfortunate were normally equipped by biology to conceive and bear children. Instead they have perverted their own bodies to sterility with chemicals, and are now going to exercise their perverted ideology on two innocent children. Watch out for both those kids to discover their very own trans identities by the age of eighteen months, because it’s a race to the bottom with these people ( pun intended). A real case of being ‘born in the wrong body’ for those children.

Isn’t it interesting how the interviewer slavers over the bloke in the dress, while completely ignoring the bearded lady?

Yup - your last sentence there just proves the immutability of sex, even while the interviewer was uaing sexist sterotypes to describe the trans woman by her slender waist. Ugh.

"Once again, why is this story not headline news around the world?"

I would dearly love to know the answer to that. Highly-influential people advising on the castration and mutilation of kids, and their advice is discovered to be their sexual fetish - and nothing happens...? Why do I only read about these things in this substack?

There's no way this silence is going to last. There's going to be thousands of kids reaching adulthood with permanent physical and mental injuries, telling their stories and bringing lawsuits. As well as the chaos of every pervert getting access to women's private spaces which will make for many grim stories. Maybe then we'll get some explanation as to why the world's media (and politicians) pretended it wasn't happening.

Meanwhile, I just found the best, best interview with Elaine Miller at Advocates Protecting Children

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2JO9CBdR9A

I posted commentary at uteheggengrasswidow.wordpress.com

Three superb women talking science of adolescent development, dangers of skipping thru puberty blockers & "affirmation."

The woo is so nauseating. I see the signs at dismissal times outside of schools. The Koolaid hair used to be quirky. I now see it as possible sign of cognitive delays.

It is so frustrating because if ALL the papers broke it (or even most of them!) there’d be no issue (no pun intended). Strength in numbers after all. But because they’re all so terrified of…what? A Twitter pile on? Who cares? … none of them will take the first step.

Last year, amidst gushing reviews of 'Hating Peter Tatchell', the Telegraph and Gript.ie broke new evidence of Mr Tatchell supporting adults being able to have sex with "early age" children in a book review The media didn't skip a beat. They kept on doing PR for his Jimmy Savile mask of virtue.

I've got to the point I accept that the vast majority are willing accomplices in paedophilia for the sake of a quiet life.

The "gay" couple on First Dates? How painfully stupid. So if she's a biologically female trans-identified gay man, she's just a heterosexual girl, right? Sure this has been a peak trans moment for some though, or just a peak confused moment.

I have a heterosexual woman who claims to be a gay trans femme presenting enby in a relationship with a heterosexual male in my extended family. It's the biggest nonsense ever. She goes by they and was excited to go to Pride. Everyone is tip-toeing around her and affirming like crazy while she posts the most deluded filth and hunts down people on social media who are GC as Nazis and trolls them.

Eddie, the only person you are fooling is yourself. Do you think if you keep saying it, it will be real? Who are you trying to convince? Other people or yourself? What an insulting and horrible thing to say about the sex he is trying to identify into. Wrinkles and grey hair do not blur the lines between sexes. It's still easy to tell the two apart you berk.

The second interviewer [Carole Vordeman] keeps asking leading questions .... 'did you find?....' .... 'yes' ... 'and did you find' ... 'yes' ...aka 'affirmative interviewing'? In view of Cass Report v worrying indeedy.

I had to stop watching early on. Kicking a football around to please dad means trans? And she doesn't have to do that any longer? WTAF? What's that saying about regressive parental stereotypes? I used to kick a ball around because that's just what we all did. I loved to. With my sister, friends, cousins, uncles. Running, jumping, playing. Most families I knew did and in gardens, the park, in any free time and in school playgrounds. I only gave up when I wasn't allowed to play in the formal teams at school, but then still 'kicked a ball around' as an adult when we went to the park and with any children in our family. I then watched as the next generation 'wasn't allowed' and there was only one girl 'allowed' in the local team of 10 yr olds I knew in 2012. It's only now in 2022, with the success of the Lionesses that schools are again 'being encouraged' to allow girls access in all schools if they want. Grrrr this is all nonsense. Don't get me started on cricket :-(

Are these all 'ballet mums' in a new form? Pushy parents.

Eddie looks like an aging prozzie who has smoked too much heroin and drunk too much Carlsberg Special Brew. In fact, all the aging prostitutes I know look much better than Eddie.

For those of you who are too young to know about Special Brew, it was very strong lager when normal lager was 3.6% alcohol, and very cheap. Street alcoholics drank it by the bucket load as did prostitutes who couldn't afford heroin on the night!

Brilliant comparison. Eddie does look rough. Love to get my hands on his rose tinted specs, then I can identify as a supermodel.

Calsberg special - a blast from the past. Popular 'hit' amongst women and locally referred to as the 'leg opener'. Stands to reason impoverished sex workers would need the assistance.

Oh yes, that was ludicrous. The young woman didn't begin to look like a man and the young man looked gay beyond belief. So, a straight date where the Guy is a closeted gay man and the woman is... Does she think she's a gay man??

Of course, by the logic of gender identity, the gay bloke is actually a woman - because what more significant gender marker of womanness could there be than being sexually attracted to men? So it's still a straight date, even if you subscribe to all this rank bollocks.

"Once again, why is this story not headline news around the world?"

In the interest of trying to address this question, I highly recommend Andrew Doyle's appearance on the Modern Wisdom podcast. He's writing a book about the Salem Witch Trials and draws some fascinating conclusions as to what that might tell us about the current hysteria and why its tolerated by those we usually rely on to deal with insane, dangerous trends. He's not claiming to have the answer but he's hit on some very interesting observations.

Goodness, the levels of distress, 'staff were nearly in tears'? No, that's 'one member of staff'. One. These are tiny inconsequential things blown out of proportion to silence any dissent. We're all in the grip of this hysterical fashion. It takes one disgruntled oversensitive and not so bright, or malicious, person to create a quake and this grows and has a concrete effect to cancel someone else. Cancelling covering being sacked, ostracised, pilloried. Adult bullying. Being modelled to the school's students. Which is far more serious and undermines the whole way our society is structured. I'm only dimly aware of the reporting of that case but like others of this nature they're fairly hard/boring to read as I am amazed these things get blown up so easily and get this far. They really aren't satisfied until they have a heathen scalp.

This is beyond a joke isn't it? The mere prospect of something, somewhere being thought and someone suggesting they don't agree with some opinion might now cause substantial possible extreme distress so must be avoided at all costs. And 'unprecedented vehemence'? Welcome to TRA genderology which for the uninitiated dresses itself up as the most marginalised civil and human rights movement of all time as a fig leaf over aggressive and violent silencing of anyone on the 'wrong side' which only it gets to determine.

LGB has been yoked to that T and no one even accepts what T is or means as it means anything anyone wants it to mean, so there. All this non-binary shite is like saying all humans are 'non-giraffe'. It adds nothing, it is unnecessary, it doesn't lead to any different treatment and it's purely a way to grab attention. Or maybe calling yourself 'non-human' as we share a teeny part of our genetic structure with bananas and the colonialist 'term' is restricting our inalienable rights.
