Channel 4 appoints a new advisor on inclusion

I know so many transgender people who, at one point in their lives, have attempted suicide. The figures are shocking: between 30% and 70%, dependent upon what other issues you face. I sit in a category that has a 70% suicide rate, so I am very pleased to be here. I did whatever it took to get my operation done in a timely basis to go forward with my life"

So having a shed load of money to go to India and having your surgery, all put up in social media, at the tender teenage years of mid fifties, pulled you out of this horrendous suicidal ideation? Sounds like a Conservative political broadcast to me.

Meanwhile in the real world, the NHS is crumbling under lack of funding by the current DUP/Conservative government.

I am quite surprised they had surgery, which is unusual for this type? But perhaps it was only facial surgery. Either way still unusual

The linked video upthread indicated that there were several surgeries. The doctor, I think, said the genital surgery came last.

Oops that made sense right after my other post!

I mean everyone already knows.

All the feminists know, the transsexuals on here know, the wives know, the children know, the medical profession knows, the lesbians know, all the men with gender dysphoria know. India Willoughby knows!

It almost seems like a secret society. It puts the Freemasons to shame and makes them look amateurish.

I thought we had reached a consensus that male mid-life crises were pathetic and laughable. Now they’re brave and inspiring?

Right first time.

I have a pop up advert along this thread for 'Botched' the celebrity plastic surgeons' show!

Susan Stephanie Pascoe is listed as a Director of Yorkshire MESMAC in Companies House

Also entries for Graham Pascoe, Graham Stephen Pascoe, Graham Pascoe Associates, Sue Graham Pascoe all with the same birthdate.

Did I read right that they are offering surgery as a prize????

I wonder if OMELC the premier transgender surgery institute is where Sue Pascoe had her surgery?

In both the interview with the Daily Mail and the video, Sue Pascoe promotes the sugeon and the experience of going to India.

It seems to be quite mutually beneficial.

No problem with fetish until it involves people who haven't consented

The fetish itself is misogynistic. That's my problem with it.

But if you've got it, you've got it.

It's not a social movement, an aspiration, a lifestyle, an identity or an illness.

It's a fetish. And if you have to go public with it before it sends you into a positively never ending implosion of frustration, at least acknowledge it.

"It was really quite nice to get a letter from the NHS asking if I wanted to have a cervical cancer test"

...said no woman ever.

Different flavours of swiss cheese seem to be in fashion these days on here - but the wholey-holes are a giveaway

"Became very difficult"

Yes I can imagine their poor wife catching them posing in her underwear every now and then . Poor Susie, it is so very difficult being a teenage girl these days.

Sue didn’t transition because there would have been a financial cost. Sue waited until Sue felt the time was right - after a successful career and a long marriage.

Yet we are constantly told that waiting is impossible, that children who are not allowed to transition as early as possible will be destroyed- their lives will be not worth living and they are at huge risk of suicide.

This is a very, very good point.

How come there are so many of these types on boards or committees for this or that.

Read Lundy Bancroft re the loose sexual boundaries of entitled men - it's been in the closet until recently. Just like in the 60s/70s when there's was a sexual revolution and out it all comes - only to retreat when the backlash comes

No problem with fetish until it involves people who haven't consented. People who are lied to cannot consent. Children cannot consent. People with no power sometimes cannot consent.

From the OP: "Channel 4 has appointed Sue Pascoe of Soaring Spirit Limited as an advisor on Inclusion".

Soaring Spirit Limited was set up on June 28th 2018.

So 6 weeks ago.

Only one officer. Pascoe themselves. So this company was set up specifically in order to partner with C4 looks like. No doubt Soaring Spirit will expand and be able to advise on "inclusion" throughout the media.

Double yuckity yuck pleasee

Sue Pascoe talks at length about her experiences, beliefs and opinions as a witness to the Women and Equalities Committee Transgender Equality Inquiry.

I've linked upthread.

I also note the wife gets blamed as do nameless others in childhood. But they somehow found the wherewithall to make their money first:

I told my wife before we were married that I had a feminine side to me, but she did not want it in our marriage and that became very difficult. I hid myself as Sue most of my adult life. I was made fun of when I grew up, and I knew with pretty much certainty that if I tried to come out when I was a partner in PricewaterhouseCoopers or in Andersen, that would probably be the end of my career. I had to wait for the latter part of my life to make those transitions.

I'm finding this story particularly upsetting. There appear to be no bounds to the ridiculousness of it all. How come there are so many of these types on boards or committees for this or that. Most women I know aren't Officers of this, Chairperson of that and Boardmember of the other.
