This Morning is promoting a programme about The Blitz Club.

When gender bending was all the rage and very 'Pop'.

When people understood female and Male AND gender bending.

The TRAs are going to hate it. Or not understand it. The young TRAs will have their eyes opened to who the older (to them) LGB/GC people are.

Get ready for the narc' rage.

And my regular Spotify playlist is David Bowie stuff. Giving me glorious photos of Bowie album covers where he wore whatever the fuck he liked including makeup because it looked amazing and unnerved parents. No ridiculous "I have boob envy" shit [looking at you , Izzard, you knob head]

Anyway.

There is going to be a re-emergence of 70s/80s culture. We are already seeing it in the music videos, and movies of the past 2-3 years.

Without the many of the lesphobic/homophobic hang ups.

(The TRAs will still have those)

Transsexual, or Transgender Shizuku?

Bearing in mind the latter call (and treat) the former as Scum.

Could you explain them please @Shizuku?

Shizuku · 12/03/2021 11:46

This is no problem at all for the trans community. Many were part of it because it gave them an arena in which to express their identity.

And it's still around now - there's no shortage of femboys and young men who wear feminine clothes. When I am home in Osaka, we are surrounded by men in pop bands wearing make-up and dresses. It's lovely.

Gender expression and gender identity are 2 different things.

I remember the thrill of getting the Human League album "Dare", the cover of which is all the band members (male and female) wearing strong makeup. Not clownish just beautifully done. And Phil Oakey on Top of the Pops with a Veronica Lake haircut, makeup, a net blouse and a pair of jeans.
Because it looked cool and who gives a shit what "gender " he is because he was obviously a biological male in cool clothes.

I no longer have Sky, but hopefully someone will be along shortly with a programme list update. Happy viewing. Am going to ask someone for a share.

I'm not really sure exactly what your point is ?

Are you seriously comparing the New Romantic fashion trend with Transgender people ? Or am I missing something?

Do you know when it's going to be on? I'd like to watch it with my DD.
