I got slightly distracted by the fact that he reminds me so much of Draco Malfoy.

Please delete if inappropriate but has OJ had Botox? He looks much younger than usual! (Nothing against Botox btw.)

Ah, JB, the secular saint of the queer movement ... there is something really odd about the adulation (veneration?) she inspires.

@MrsBrunch

But OJ is neither trans nor woman, right?
Are either of them?

Isn't that transphobic or something....Hmm

Be good if we all reported this for promoting hate speech towards women. I'm sure there was a court case where the judge said it was, anyone remember which one it was?

They only positive thing I can think to say is that while the 2 of them are talking to each other, for a short period of time neither of them is being inflicted on anyone else....

Butler apparently says that JKR "capitalised on a history of sexual trauma in order to afflict and persecute others". I can't bring myself to watch. Utterly depressing, utter misogynist.

Ugh, certainly.

I got to the point where they suggest that trans-exclusionary ('transphobic') feminists in the uk are racist and Islamophobic.

Except they didn't say it directly. JB asked about the connections between anti-migration, anti-veiling and trans-exclusionary feminism in the UK.

OJ said that 'intersectional feminists' would say that trans-exclusionary British feminists exclude women of colour and 'repeat Islamophobic talking points as well.'
