Will post link below as can't remember how to do it when starting threads. I heard she was at the recent Women's Place event in Brighton, she mentions it but wrote this before the event. Would be interesting to hear what she thought of that too. I love a bit of Julie Burchill. Totally agree with her.

I always read Julie Burchill with my stomach muscles braced because I expect a metaphorical punch to my gut - what have I done wrong now? So there's always a sense of glorious relaxation when I am not the one she's going for. Probably next week. In the meantime - I agree.

Brilliant.
'Small but perfectly informed' - she has the best turn of phrase.
And a massive cheer to her final point about the fringe being about what you can DO not merely what you are.

Yes why ARE the non binary (?) lot so vicious?

That was so good to read. I love Julie's way with words.

Fabulous!

This piece is just outrageously brilliant. She goes too far, of course. But bloody hell, nailing it down again and again and again.

She knows how to write and she dares to actually think too.

Be more Julie!

Thanks for sharing. I’ve always had a soft spot for Julie. Glad she can see sense on this issue!
