The director of the film, Olivia Cappuccini, thanked Bergdorf for letting her into his world, which was the ‘epitome of freedom’. Bergdorf was someone we should be grateful to be in the presence of, for the joy and euphoria Bergdorf imparts onto this world was unique. Such gibberish was a sure sign the documentary was not only going to be illiterate, but also a masterclass in arse-licking.

Torrey Peters: Stag Dance
Clark felt that being able to identify your own failures in gender presentation was incredibly threatening and this was why certain people were so obsessed with trans people. Peters leapt to agree, feeling that trans people were used as a scapegoat but also acted as a beacon for peoples’ potential freedoms, which some people found terrifying. ‘When you hear terfs talk about gender you really get the sense that they fucking hate being women,’ said Clark, adding that she thought terfs were petrified by the idea of ‘you actually don’t have to do this’. Which was a perfect piece of intellectual google, given Peters had just said – and Clark had agreed – that we all have to do gender. Doh!
In Conversation: Shon Faye on his new book ‘Love in Exile’
It always startles me just how popular trans still is; Shon Faye almost sold out the event, a thousand seater, in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank. It was mainly young women but a fair few trans-identified males of various ages were dotted throughout. On the whole it felt like a cis-het crowd though, if you’ll pardon the lingo, one desperate to align itself to everything woke and a poke in the eye to its mums. Pre-signed books were available in the foyer, a neat way of letting us know that Faye was not to rub shoulders with us later. That didn’t bother Faye’s biggest fan though, sat next to me, who literally laughed, gasped, sighed, etc, non-stop in response to his asinine lispy utterances.

In conversation event with ‘trans bearish man’
‘Fucking Myself Goodbye’ is the title of the last chapter. It was going to be the title of the book but she was persuaded otherwise by her publisher. Ben-Zeev did her reading, torpid prose indeed and also very confusing. Talia is the woman she wants to fuck, – as a man, as Avi. She wanted connect to the physical parts of the herself which caused her pain and self-loathing. She can’t really do this via her imagination so settles instead on finding a Talia-lookalike (another trope of AGP males, trying to imitate the women in their lives).
