Can’t argue with that. The real thing is actually a lot more harmful Comical that Phipps is talking about Men’s Rights Activists when she is one. New Matt Lucas character not great Another Buffalo Bill arrives on the scene Oh for fuck’s sake I was just kidding
I am almost terminally depressed reading this compendium of misogyny, hate and general all round flapdoodle. I don't know how much more I can stand. Is it me, or has it got worse since lockdown? Too many males 'working from home' i.e. watching porn and fingering their keyboards, I wouldn't wonder. Seriously though what the actual fuck ....
Call my Agent is absolutely brilliant - just wait till the Juliette Binoche episode(s) she is superb and also the goddesses Huppert and Bellucci playing themselves - i cant bear to watch the last series yet!
I don't think I understand the issue with Michael Sheen. From what I can tell he donated to the Salvation Army and some people tweeted him to say that trans people can't receive aid from the SA, so he tweeted the SA to ask them if that's true.
Ah, OK, I get you. I thought at first he was (over-)reacting to the "investigated" part when all he did was tweet but it's the "trans activists lied" part I should have been paying attention to.
It is a comprehensive and sober "tour d'horizon" of the gender landscape and concludes overall with the debunking of "gender identity".
For example:
"There is a lack of consensus demonstrated as to the exact nature of the condition. Questions remain for psychiatrists regarding whether gender dysphoria is a normal variation of gender expression, a social construct, a medical disease or a mental illness. If merely a natural variation, it becomes difficult to identify the purpose of or justification for medical intervention."
"Within current debates, if gender identity becomes uncoupled from both biological sex and gendered socialisation (Box 1), it develops an intangible soul-like quality or ‘essence’. As a pure subjective experience, it may be overwhelming and powerful but is also unverifiable and unfalsifiable. If this identity is held to be a person's innermost core concept of self, then questioning the very existence of gender identity becomes equated with questioning that person's entire sense of being, and consequently risks being considered a threat to the right to exist, or even as a threat to kill. Behaviours such as ‘misgendering’ or ‘dead-naming’ are understood by proponents of gender theory to be destructive, debasing and dehumanising.28 This might explain why the prevailing discourse has become as sensitive and at times inflammatory as it has. "
"How should doctors consider the body? We are born as, and die as, a body; we are our bodies. How can someone be born in the wrong body? Many patients bring a ‘wrong’ or ‘wronged’ body to their doctor; these may be traumatised, wounded, diseased or disliked bodies. How should doctors react when someone informs them that, although they inhabit the body of a man, they are in all other respects female? We must deal with all our patients with compassion but also make safe medical decisions when demonstrable material reality is at odds with a patient's subjectivity."
I hope that this will become a well known reference document! Let's get it out there!
Could someone just pop something in or over that red eyed rat brats mouth or get him pregnant to get him out of our face if that’s what these clowns think is possible.

What am I missing?
He went off on one because of the framing of the tweet, jumping to the defence of these TRAS who'd fed him a line of bullshit https://twitter.com/michaelsheen/status/1356818749949693955?s=20

Thanks!
A little ray of hope shone on me today: a paper "Sex, gender and gender identity: a re-evaluation of the evidence". It is dated 21st July 2020 in the British Journal of Psychiatry and is by Dr Lucy Griffin (yes, that Lucy Griffin). https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/bjpsych-bulletin/article/sex-gender-and-gender-identity-a-reevaluation-of-the-evidence/76A3DC54F3BD91E8D631B93397698B1A
