Blogs about the world of gender identity ideology
About twenty years ago, my epiphany that not-all-people-think-like-me came when I was telling a new friend a night at the cinema had been ruined by a bobbing head. I was annoyed with myself, but also still with the bobber. She laughed her head off. Didn’t even pretend.
“Don’t you ever feel that way though?” I asked, widening and then narrowing my eyes.
Collins allowed more critical questions to be asked than I have ever witnessed in these spaces, though things were rather pre-empted by the question: Is Transphobia the New Homophobia? Well, no, it isn’t, never was and one could very well argue that trans ideology is the new homophobia. A point, unfortunately, that no one at the event managed to make coherently.
Davison’s preferred term to discuss all things trans was the nebulous-sounding ‘transness’. Really this was so he could go ‘ooh, that’s a bit trans’ about everything. Material reality wasn’t really a thing, Davison told us, quietly introducing the concept of ‘cisness’ to the assembled horde of NHS workers, using the cryptic example of ‘some people having a much more complicated relationship with their bodies’.
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.
A summary of the plot: Once upon a time a woman said something a man didn’t like and the man spent the rest of his life feeling spooked. It did have a fairy tale quality to it in that respect. In this specific case, the woman was Germaine Greer and the man, a tranny.
‘Cockiest woman in comedy’, ‘her ballbag’, ‘ballistic … tits’. That feels like enough already to be honest. We could just leave it there. But we go where others fear to tread. It’s a public service.
