I was hoping Graham would include this in Glinner's Twitter - free money for being trans!

"... 'xenogender', means a gender beyond human understanding" -- finally, a truth.

Lol perhaps more specifically a xenomorph from the "Alien" franchise.

Jeez! Free money to pay for more surgery or meds which prevent them working and earning a living

I've scan read that (life's too short) but my first thought was, "Autigender:- how autistic youth can "other" themselves more than society already does"

Can we take that from your Mum please? It's brilliant!

Don’t you feel a kind of pity for such people - both the claimants and the idiot bureaucrats who thought this up. Somethings are beyond anger - they are just purest stupidity.

I feel sorry for anyone who due to economic circumstances will now identify as transgender.

Well at least by lifting up the skirt we know he's definitely a man because we'd never have been able to tell otherwise!

I think she's taken Michelle Pfeiffer's place as my favourite Catwoman. 😄

So … a Dorothy of Oz dress because you’re living in a fantasy world. Check. Two bags for your multiple personalities. Check. The ever-present phone camera poised for endless narcissistic selfies. Check. Dress pulled up to show you’re really a man, and that you can bloody get away with calling yourself a woman. No. Matter. What. Check. Fake ‘breasts’ for your fetish pleasure. Check. Self-satisfied smile because you’re now at the top of the ‘woke’ heap. Check. All the ‘trans’ boxes ticked. Check.

"Dress pulled up to show you’re really a man, and that you can bloody get away with calling yourself a woman."

From 1984:

"O’Brien held up his left hand, its back towards Winston, with the thumb hidden and the four fingers extended.

“How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?’

“Four.”

“And if the Party says that it is not four but five – then how many?”

“Four.”

The word ended in a gasp of pain. The needle of the dial had shot up to fifty-five. The sweat had sprung out all over Winston’s body. The air tore into his lungs and issued again in deep groans which even by clenching his teeth he could not stop. O’Brien watched him, the four fingers still extended. He drew back the lever."

1984 updated:

"O’Brien showed Winston the photograph:

“Is this a man or a woman, Winston?’

“A man.”

“And if the Party says that it is not a man but a woman – then what is it?”

“A man.”

The word ended in a gasp of pain. The needle of the dial had shot up to fifty-five. The sweat had sprung out all over Winston’s body. The air tore into his lungs and issued again in deep groans which even by clenching his teeth he could not stop. O’Brien watched him, the photo still showing. He drew back the lever."

Is the Brazilian video a spoof, or real? It's quite . . . something.

At this point, does it really matter? Isn't the difficulty of knowing part of the problem?

Like...WTF is going on?

Inability to accept physical reality, and therefore -- its inevitable limitations. We cannot change sex. Not all of us can sing, especially if we've never heard musical notes. But hey, why let any of that stop us from doing exactly what we want? And be celebrated for it too please. No matter how abysmal our behaviour or performance -- everyone is a winner.

Never let a good bulge, keep a woman from being his true self!

As my old dad used to say.

Ach! It's gone. I never saw it. Probably for the best

Yes, it was a terrible mix of emotions to feel--pity, outrage, shock, despair, hilarity--all rolled into one. I never want to feel that again . . .

You are right. And it looks like the video is gone now . . .

I did this the opposite way around and looked up that clip first, so now the Young Frankenstein Putting On The Ritz reminds me of this trans performance, not the other around.

I'm so damn transgressive. I'm giving myself top marks for my queer theoriness today.

It's because everyone is infantalised. You encourage a child in their interests, cheer and clap at their efforts. At a certain point adults must gently steer them towards their true gifts. Sometimes it's hurtful but it's necessary to stop a talentless guitarist getting in the way of a gifted basketballer. For eg.

Excessive approbation probably started when parents first insisted on 'graduation' ceremonies for their kindergarten children -- caps, and gowns, and awards for the entire lot -- the whole shebang.

Expand full comment

Haha, you're so right!

Just imagine a deaf/mute woman singing 'I Will Always Love You' exactly as this man did. On stage, and in expectation of applause. Would the audience be in rapturous tears and applause? Not on your life. "Trans' waves its magical (only for the men, mind you) wand again and again, and everyone falls under its hideous "Emperor has women's clothes' spell. The Emperor is not a woman, and he definitely cannot sing.

I'll add this short one to your "pinups." I can't put Neddy, my woman facing ex-husband's current images up, but it's a nice bit about how to be a Dad, based on Ute's.

Glinner, you're a great father of a daughter, I hope it resonates.

Is Rory O the same as Panty Bliss?

I don't know why he's lifting his dress like that - who's he showing his modest bulge to, I wonder? I've never felt it necessary to display my underwear like that. Must be a man thing.

The passage from the book is interesting. I'd like to know the title. Ultimately, women did get the vote, so we can take comfort that we will overcome this nonsense.

Expand full comment

She also writes "When men come to disrupt women's meetings, they come in gangs, with noisy instruments, and sing and shout together and stamp their feet." So much for the theory of evolution.

Expand full comment

yes - that interested me. Since the same tactics are being used again, I thought we could see if the women's tactics would work again. I hope that Suffragist rather that Suffragette will be sufficient. I don't much fancy breaking the law.

I confess even I get a bit squeamish when they start burning down houses and refreshment rooms etc. I'm not sure my sympathy would have extended that far with them even though the cause was worthy.

Expand full comment

It comes from Emmeline Pankhurst's autobiography "My Own Story". A lot of fascinating details as to how the suffragette movement came about. It only goes as far as WW1 however so the battle wasn't won at the time she was writing.

Well I’ve never heard quite such a haunting rendition of I will always love you, but I think the best thing is the interview after

Expand full comment

Oh ,so gross. Is he trying to ape Dylan Mulvaney who wants to normalise the bulge ? NEVER in a MILLION YEARS !! Also ,the methods used by this " movement " bear an uncanny resemblance to the methods used to bully and silence the suffragettes ,in that the media refused to report what was happening to them. and many women were arrested by the police just for fighting for their rights !! The women WON ,so we have hope as well as TRUTH and RIGHT on our side.👍🙏🙏🙏

I'm just going to self-identify as "Jedi Master". To every question I'm ever asked, that's the answer. (I'm neither Jedi, nor a Master of anything. But that doesn't matter these days.)
