He’s put “boomer” in brackets on his Twitter handle now. 😂

Mockers2020Vision your post was funny Grin

No Comment?
I'd have preferred
"Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry?"

Thingybob · 10/01/2020 22:00

The story is also in the Daily Mail and almost all the comments are agreeing with Boy George

AutumnRose1 · 10/01/2020 21:28

Strange what’s redemption?

I’d just never trust them. No great loss to them, I’m sure!

StrangeLookingParasite · 10/01/2020 20:44

This was on the twitter thread...

Boy George is transphobic
StrangeLookingParasite · 10/01/2020 20:44

Violent crime against a human being? I never thought I’d use this expression but yes, that person can get in the bin!

What? Forever? No possibility of redemption, regardless of the circumstances?

I don't think I can live in your world of absolutes.

Can I just express my love for the person on that Twitter feed berating everyone because "y'all assume you can tell". We can always tell, petal. Always.

HandsOffMyRights · 10/01/2020 16:59

Ha! Love the way the cultists think "that'll teach him" and that anybody doesn't bow down to gender bullshit needs reeducating, in a patronising way of course.

Please forgive us, woman hating Pink News, we know Ben Cohen is sooo reasonable of course.

feelingverylazytoday · 10/01/2020 16:02

Oh dear, Pink news. No one gives a fuck about what you have to say. Lol.

YouJustDoYou · 10/01/2020 15:57

You can't be a feminine man, you must be a woman (and a real woman to boot). Everyone must be put in little labelled pigeonholes as regards their presentation and sexuality. Being Gender Fluid and Pansexual is a label just like the others even though it's masquerading as being woke and progressive

Amen.

ScapaFlo · 10/01/2020 15:21

Is that gree-ee-ee-een? Grin

Justhadathought · 10/01/2020 15:20

On January 8, Pink News reached out to Boy George’s management, who replied: “The concept of […] asking whether Boy George is transphobic is so stupid it doesn’t warrant a response

Can't keep his mouth shut that boy.....

notmoresheep · 10/01/2020 14:39

well a lot of people tied dangly coloured stringy stuff in their hair. someone will be along in a minute to argue that counts as altering bodies Grin

RufusthebewiIderedreindeer · 10/01/2020 14:38

Oh, I do miss my mum

Poopy isnt it Flowers

Of course they were looking to promote themselves and further their careers, i have zero issue with that.

I’m the same way I have zero issue with an adult taking hormones or getting surgery or wearing a twinset and pearls if that’s what tickles their fancy.

My only issue is when they expect society to alter to accommodate their whims.

nauticant · 10/01/2020 14:36

I also don't recall the Church of the Poison Mind working as a cult with kids being pressured to alter their bodies to conform. Nor the no-platforming of groups wondering if gender-bending hadn't gone a bit too far.

AutumnRose1 · 10/01/2020 14:32

Goose sure, but that’s all personal

The problem at the moment is the fact that people want to massively alter the lives of others.

Goosefoot · 10/01/2020 13:56

I think it's probably fair to say that many of the gender benders were looking for some attention, and to upset their elders, show they were different. It wasn't all some kind of principled protest. And for pop stars a lot of them were also looking to promote themselves.

At least that's how I remember things. Many teens and young adults who were quite happy to have a righteous cause to make their parents feel uncomfortable about.

  1. Walk on the wild side is transphobic.
  2. Refusing to accept being called a 'ciswoman' is transphobic.
PracticallyFamous · 10/01/2020 12:54

but NOTHING about "death to TERFS" or those horrible violent gifs where someone gets smacked around when they're telling someone to shut up.

I got told to "die mad about it" after my reply in support of him. But then I identify as a woman on Twitter.

AutumnRose1 · 10/01/2020 12:19

“ or are all ex-cons to be rejected and binned forevermore? ”

Violent crime against a human being? I never thought I’d use this expression but yes, that person can get in the bin!
