Shon Faye event - Bradford 18th November

36 replies

WitchBitchHarpyTerfThatsMe · 14/10/2017 01:08

There's a Women of the World Festival a couple of hours away from me

on 18th November. On the programme is an event called 'Trans identities - how does transactivism interact with the movement for gender equality?' Shon Faye is apparently headlining.

I'm going to it with my 13 year old daughter. Anyone else going?

Shon is trying to get gigs as a stand up comic, an attention seeker - also has mental health issues which they've been quite open about. Their twitter TL is full of Shon in glittery, frocks, posing in underwear and trying out new lipsticks. Be interesting to see where Shon is in 10 yrs time.

Witch bitch you are attending though? I think you said in your OP. We should have a secret signal. I do have a fairly newly rad friend I might ask to come along. I peaked her last week when she said some stuff I recognised as the bewilderment of a feminist coming up for air.

Because a bloke who wears make up is just a bloke with make up. A transwoman who wears make up is stunning and brave.

Does anyone have a link for the Tom Holland/Shon Faye twitter debate?

Tom was majestic.

Ereshkigal · 15/10/2017 21:31

Why has Faye moved from being a bloke who wears make up to being a trans woman?

Ain't that the $64K question?

wrappedup I went on the website and you buy day passes to get into the events. I'm not sure I'm brave enough to speak up alone either but I'm very interested to see how the event goes off.

Wrappedup I'm just a little bit too far away to make it work unfortunately, but I wish you luck from a remote corner of Yorkshire. I know quite a few lib-fems from Bradford who I expect will be there cheering SF on too Sad

I am in Yorkshire and in the mood for a fight. I've put this in my diary but would appreciate some company. Not sure I'm brave enough to speak up in the questions on my own. The OP is obviously nearby. Anyone else fancy it.

Yes, absolutely. "Having the use of your legs yet wishing you could use a wheelchair and no one cares is so much worse than being given a wheelchair due to your disability status, you privileged people!"

"Transmisogyny is misogyny intensified"

I'll just get myself a talking gig at a paraplegic group and tell them how they don't actually have it that bad after all.

Here's Shon Faye when he was Sean Faye. Doesn't seem to have shown much imagination when it comes to choosing a new name:

This is back to the issue about credible sources.

novaramedia.com/2016/04/17/is-it-time-to-abolish-masculinity/

"Deuteronomy is one of the earliest examples of male and female gender roles being crystallised into something more than biology".

What the fuck does that even mean. Is a time line of human civilisation needed as well. No wonder Shon had a spat with the historian Tom Holland. What absolute shit.

There is a horrible fascination to it.

We have had a couple of narcissistic transwomen on here, along with the generally very sensible ones.

Their issues and blindness leap out every other sentence. They don't see it.
