I only know who they are due to DD watching their make up videos. They were on BBC 3s Glow Up program as a guest judge.
Apparently they were being blackmailed and so came out in a video, which is a bit shit for them.

rocketmen of course, I reserve the right to respectfully disagree with you though.

UpfieldHatesWomen · 14/01/2020 20:10

Anyway, I've said what I wanted, and I'm glad people can read your comments to see you for what you are. I'm disengaging now as frankly I find this being insulted in a really lame and unimaginative way by strangers insufferably dull.

Are you only willing to accept a feminist analysis that you agree with? There's a lot of definitions and subsections of feminism. I'm not personally gender critical, does it make my opinion unwelcome? Echo chambers don't help anybody.

Still on tenterhooks waiting for the feminist analysis you're going to offer on this feminist forum - otherwise, why on earth would you be here?
And yes, I have been dictated to, I've had a post deleted for stating I thought Nikkie was trans when I first saw them, so yes, you are attempting to silence women.

I'm a 6ft 2 woman built like an ox and am now wondering if I have to wap my ovaries out to prove to some people on the thread that I'm an actual female, or do I just have to be careful not to use gay language(?) I have childbearing hips and cellulite, will that do?

I hadn't heard of her but just watch the first minute of that video - how the fuck can anybody watch something that's been cut and spliced so many times?! The almost but not fully imperceptible head jerks make me feel seasick Blush

Anyway- I skim read the last few pages - has anybody managed to explain what the deal is with the boyfriend not knowing? Ive never seen a post surgery trans body naked but really, is it really possible that the surgeon was that good that the vulva and vagina aren't distinguishable from a (and I say these 3 letters ONLY to avoid a ban) "cis" woman's?!

whatsthecomingoverthehill · 14/01/2020 20:02

And yet you've still managed to post despite supposedly being dictated to - it's a real puzzler!

snowblight · 14/01/2020 20:02

So do you have a feminist analysis to contribute, snow because I've said I'm listening and you've just hurled more - well, I won't say insults

Says the person who started off with 'I couldn't give a shit'. Hmm

UpfieldHatesWomen · 14/01/2020 20:01

*feminist

UpfieldHatesWomen · 14/01/2020 20:00

So do you have a feminist analysis to contribute, snow because I've said I'm listening and you've just hurled more - well, I won't say insults, because let's face it that was a bit lame - but do you have a feminine viewpoint on this, or are you just here to abuse random women via the internet?

Doyoumind · 14/01/2020 19:57

Can I remind people that there are posters that only post on the feminism boards and only to police them.

The thread will get zapped if posters give them the ammunition they push for.

snowblight · 14/01/2020 19:57

I'm all ears and waiting for your feminist analysis.

I'm just happy to see you giving your's on this thread. It speaks volumes.

UpfieldHatesWomen · 14/01/2020 19:55

I'm all ears and waiting for your feminist analysis.

dictate what women should be allowed to talk about

who's dictating? is offering an opposing viewpoint dictating? this is a discussion forum after all?

UpfieldHatesWomen · 14/01/2020 19:50

I wonder what kind of people think they can come onto a feminist forum and dictate what women should be allowed to talk about - it's a real puzzler!

snowblight · 14/01/2020 19:44

I know several Dutch women who are as tall as or even taller than Nickie.

They'll probably start analysing the England netball team on here soon.

whatsthecomingoverthehill · 14/01/2020 19:42

If you disagree with her videos that's fine RuffleCrow. But why is she being criticised for it now rather than before she came out? And if you are concentrating on one person out of the 150,000 then it's not unreasonable to wonder why.

Let's end the race to the bottom on expectations re womanhood.

Branleuse · 14/01/2020 19:36

A transgender makeup artist on youtube is a womens rights issue how??

Jeffree star broke up with his boyfriend too. Is this a feminist issue?

I think you might have been better posted in chat

RuffleCrow · 14/01/2020 19:35

I think if there were 150,000 Youtubers promoting lazy and regressive stereotypes to women about women, Nikki's rather more polite version would still be one too many @whatsthatcomingoverthehill

whatsthecomingoverthehill · 14/01/2020 19:35

If you are concerned about what women/girls are being told about appearance then the significance of this is miniscule when you look at social media as a whole, and the messages being given out by other women.

UpfieldHatesWomen · 14/01/2020 19:35

Think what you like, love, I couldn't give a shit what you think.

snowblight · 14/01/2020 19:34

I asked a question about the source of this information, as we only have Nikkie's own word for it at present, I'd do the same for anyone claiming they're being blackmailed then coming out with a big revelation

Really? Would you? I bet if it was a so-called GC feminist saying she'd been blackmailed you'd accept it without question.

*That was wrt SB btw
