To be disappointed Dolly Parton supported biological men using women's toilets?

'in your eyes, she’s a disappointment because of something youve decided she didn’t speak up enough about??'

• Please read my post accurately. I said : 'I'm not saying she should have spoken out for GC issues. It might have been best just not to comment.'

My issue was NOT that she didn't speak up about GC issues. My issue is that she supported biological men using women's toilets.

No one on here hates Dolly Parton.

It is possible to disagree with someone about something and it not be hate.

Nah. It'll keep going to 40 pages and be nothing to do with Dolly by the end of it, and just the usual posters all talking to themselves in a self congratulatory, doom mongering circle and be exactly like the eleventy billion threads all saying the exact same thing.
If past MN experience is anything to go by lol

I think her intrinsic kindness made her a target for organisations with their own targeted agendas.
She always maintained she wouldn't get involved in politics, because she didn't want to upset half her fans, yet she spoke out in favour of trans people, and also actively promoted covid jabs. Those two issues alone probably alienated millions of people.

I think you have to consider the time and place in which Dolly grew up and spent most of her adult life. She came from conservative small-town America where it was not acceptable to be gay or non-conforming, let alone trans. She was a queer icon and any trans people she knew were likely old-school transsexuals or the uber-camp uber-gay-man type of trans.

Similar for Taylor Swift making her You Need to Calm Down video with a lot of gender non-conforming people - she also started off in a very conservative community, and a lot of America is still very polarised and would not accept someone being gay, trans or otherwise non-conforming. I don't know what her view is on males in women's spaces, but I can see why she wanted to support the LGBT community in general.

I actually have a similar (but different) situation where I know a group of people (in the UK) who are very into trans rights - they're all in a particular music scene that attracts a lot of geeky, non-conforming people, some possibly autistic - the trans and non-binary people in that group are the type who wouldn't hurt a fly and would genuinely be at risk of harrassment from meat-head types.

So while I don't personally agree with males in women's spaces, I can see why some people have a different view based on their differing experiences and I don't hate them for it.

Can we just shut this stupid thread down please.

The sooner we move to just unisex toilets the better. I really don't care where I have a wee just so long as it's clean.
At my last place of work (medical centre) there were no men's or women's toilets, just generic toilets, and it worked well.

No one got a glimpse of an unattended penis.

Why ate you besmirching her memory?

In case you missed my last post - ignore. Grey rock.
It's the only language they understand.

I've asked you to leave me alone twice.

This is the third time.

You are right now showing aggression against someone who has asked you to leave them alone.

This isn't my house but it is a public space.

Please, please stop it.

Just blank them. As they like to say on the other board - "grey rock."

I've asked you to leave me alone.
