Jenner has said some quite reasonable things.
They admit that they're not actually a woman.

MistressDeeCee · 05/05/2018 18:25

She is no spokesperson for diverse communities

Says Madigan who called black women "scary"

0 signatures on petition, tut tut

So are there no British people who could talk to Parliament about diversity, or what?

This person is - white, straight, male, wealthy. Not born into wealth, but not born into poverty either. Estranged from the stepdaughter who's married to Kanye West. What diversity is this person going to lecture Parliament about?

Popchyk · 05/05/2018 18:21

I think it is mainly because Jenner is a Trump supporter.

Link to petition here linky

Lily said "Parliament didn't choose her. Channel 4 did, who have tons of trans contacts, including me."

LM sounds more put out at not being asked than bothered about CJ's views on being trans.

It's all very foot stompy but undeniably funny to watch. :o

OvaHere · 05/05/2018 17:45

Actually I think someone should extend an invite to LM. A debate between Republican CJ and Momentum Lily might be erm...interesting.

Rich white male pribilege

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 05/05/2018 17:38

Sounds like Lily Madigan & friends are afraid that Caitlyn Jenner is going to say/state that although ‘I prefer to be called she & feel like a woman & look like a woman, biologically I am male. Surgery etc has allowed me to live my life as a woman albeit a transsexual woman (although my biology is male.)’

LM & co will be/would be frothing at the mouth.

Stranger things have happened.

Lily Madigan has started a petition to stop Jenner speaking to parliament

Why oh why isn't there a "Smirking" emoji😂

Does anyone know why, please?

MistressDeeCee · 05/05/2018 17:30

Rich white privilege.

MrsJayy · 05/05/2018 17:28

Jeezus wept there is no words to express how much I hate Caitlyn Jenner Angry Vapid arrogant ignorant privaleged are just some words that are apt for caitlyn fucking jenner, I wonder if they are coming over on Airforce 1 when DT visits

Yes, bizarre. Lily Madigan has started a petition to stop Jenner speaking to parliament.

Best get out my popcorn maker.

TrumpTrump · 05/05/2018 17:21

Yes, CJ is from the old-school of transgender theory. They didn't see themselves as female until they were dressed as one.

Also, they still attend a men-only golf club and let their kids call them 'dad'...

Pratchet · 05/05/2018 17:09

Basically feminists, somehow, will get the blame for this car crash.

They’re starting to eat themselves. Oh joy. 😁

Pratchet · 05/05/2018 17:03

Every single person listening to Jenner will know that no one can change sex. Yet we all have to sit there and pretend. It's ludicrous.

Pratchet · 05/05/2018 17:01

Jenner is on record saying he knows he's not a woman.

On the other hand, Jenner is clear,y not a popular choice among trans people either. So maybe it's a win...

IamNotDarling is correct, Jenner is speaking in the House of Commons not to Parliament at a PC beano organised by Channel 4.

I imagine a few MPs will turn up. The usual suspects.

I think it's just an awareness that he now has a specific and powerful media role. If Channel 4 continues to push a trans agenda, while MN continues to allow free speech, then that is interesting. That's all.

What. The. Fuck. is this Ian Katz "revelation" supposed to mean? Not just on this thread but on another.

Justine being married to Ian Katz has been known for, like, forever. His high profile media career likewise.

If one deliberately set out to alienate Justine, whose support we need, making content-free smears about her family members has got to be a sure-fire winning approach.
