message to anti trans hate speakers

"And think we'll be hood winked"

Yep - where I went with the emphasis - but you can definitely add an 'all' in there if you prefer the way it scans like that

We are not supposed to notice an errant Y Sciencelogic as well you know.

Chromosomes are bigots.

I know I haven't been here long but I really think I'm in love with all of you

In the words of a revered philosopher which describes my journey to the gender critical side

“I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything”

On a dark and stormy night, two cats sat by the fire. One called Dick, the other called Tom. Said Dick to Tom I'll tell you a story. And so the story began.

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
Fuzzyy Wuzzy had no hair
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy Wuzzy he

Now then, did any of you notice the errant 'Y' ?
How on earth did that happen

We are not anti trans, just anti bullshit.

Ode to a pelican
Whose beak can hold more than his belly can
I wonder how the hell he can?

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear
Fuzzyy Wuzzy had no hair
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy Wuzzy he.

Great lyrics,
just amazing!

Loving your work Barracker!😂

Apropos of nothing at all, I'm reminded of...

‘Nay, nay,’ quod he, ‘than have I Cristes curs!
Lat be,’ quod he, ‘it shal nat be, so theech!
Thou woldest make me kisse thyn old breech,
And swere it were a relik of a seint,
Thogh it were with thy fundement depeint!
But by the croys which that seint Eleyne fond,
I wolde I hadde thy coillons in myn hond
In stede of relikes or of seintuarie;
Lat cutte hem of, I wol thee helpe hem carie;
Thay shul be shryned in an hogges tord

I spent an entire eighteenth year calling everyone an hogges tord because, like all teenagers, I was so, so mature!

What a great pome, @BarrackBarmer. Personally, I thought it would scan better if the word 'all' was added in the third last line...

For if you try to bully us
And think we'll all be hoodwinked
I've news for you, my trunk-ed friend
We'll render you extinct.

...but I guess it depends on where the stress falls. In your version, the stress would be on the word 'be', wouldn't it?

"And think we'll be hoodwinked"

For me a more satisfying arrangement of the words would be
"And think we'll all be hoodwinked"
But of course it's your pome 😉 😅

‘Ooo ooo ooo, I wanna be like yooo yooo yooo, I wanna walk like you, talk like you, tooo-oooo-ooohhh’. I loved that cartoon.

He never did get to be like the manchild.

Barracker
Very good

Oo, I have another one upstart (picking up from where I stopped listening yesterday...)

"We were the world, but we got no future
We wanna be just like you"

ElliePhant has got a trunk
It makes him very sad
And if you dare to notice it
He'll say that you are bad
You shouldn't do that, ElliePhant
A trunk is not a minus
Learn to love your dangly bits
Like we love our vaginas
But please be sure to understand
That just because you're cross
You cannot step all over us
And think that you're the boss
For if you try to bully us
And think we'll be hoodwinked
I've news for you, my trunk-ed friend
We'll render you extinct.

The anti trans hate speakers were indeed a great band, formed in 2004 I recall.
They did a Shania Twain cover. The name of the song escapes me.
It's on the tip of my tongue.

*I loved the Anti Trans Hate Speakers first album. Full of energy and heart. Great melodies and songwriting. It was nominated for the Mercury Prize, quite right too.

"A Latte and an Orange Segment" is the standout track from the album of course, but "Don't PayPal Me, Love" is also a modern classic.

Couple of decent covers on there too; "It's Raining Redacted" by The Weather Redactors is particularly good.*

Oh yes...

And you know what he says about flattery.

anti-trans hate speakers

am completely confused as to who this OP is aimed at
is it anti-trand hate speakers
or anti trans-hate speakers?
because there is no clue in the actual content

Indeed it does.

I was listening to Holywood yesterday and it jumped out at me, then OP goes and starts this entirely relevant thread...

Great minds think alike
I confess I didn't read the thread before I posted, but the point bears repeating.

Upstart, are you quoting me or have we both randomly quoted the same song?!
