Looks like they are unhappy with her because she supports JK Rowling. Some little arsehole has contacted the theatre she is currently working at, to try and get her sacked.

She is not having it. Another strong, formidable woman.

Just days before the opening of Sean Mathias’s production, the actors playing Polonius and Laertes, Steven Berkoff and Emmanuella Cole, dropped out after reportedly clashing in rehearsals.

www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/theatre-dance/reviews/ian-mckellen-hamlet-theatre-royal-windsor-b1888030.html

Interestingly, the review of Hamlet by Paul Taylor in the Independent does not mention Barber. Or Ashley D Gayle as being in those roles. One would almost think they were vacant from the review. Jenny Seagrove is mentioned as Gertude. I do think it is odd that those in such a big role and name were not mentioned.

The BBC is better.

Pigs are smarter than genderists. Pigs are extremely smart. Smart enough to know the difference between male and female which apparently adult human males can't do.

Pigs are very clean I think

LastSummerHere · 22/07/2021 20:42

100%. To paraphrase...if you wrestle in the shit with pigs, the pigs like it and you are just rolling around in shit. So always keep a distance from cough gender ideology.

@PumpkinSpiceWoman

Frances Barber, the racist? Could she be less likeable?
God, you are tedious.

You bring absolutely nothing to these discussions, it's not worth anyone's while to engage with you.

I'd take her over you.🤷‍♀️

A chance to play in mud, build mud pies and throw mud ?

Which means you need lots of water to create the mud, which must be nice in this heat

RufustheBadgeringReindeer · 22/07/2021 17:55

Just what do you gain from this

Fuck knows

ArabellaScott · 22/07/2021 17:51

'likeable'. Hmm

The fact that 1300 male prisoners can self ID as women and be waiting to be transferred to a womens prison is shocking.

That many of them are sex offenders is terrifying, shows exactly why self ID should be scrapped.

@Megasausagehead I wish I knew...what have men got to prove by doing this??? That they are mercenaries? Vicious and savage at times?? We know.😞🙄

@Skybluepinkgiraffe

Your family sounds fabulous *@LastSummerHere*

Thank you so much Sky - I have to credit the women on Mumsnet though...they steered me right!! I've been here for 11 years, on and off, absorbing everything yet never posting much, just looking and listening like Peter Purvis!!! This place made all the difference.

@FeckTheMagicDragon

You can actually find this guy on LinkedIn, including his job title and his involvement in the LGBTXYZ+ Diversity group. He brings his ‘whole self’ to work. But obviously doesn’t want women to do the same.
His "whole self"...?

I hope his whole self ends up in court.

@LastSummerHere

it wouldn't enter the head of the purest, kindest man in the universe to access a female only changing room or toilet, why would it? They know damn well their presence would at the bare minimum cause discomfort to the women in there and they would never dream of doing that which leaves one to wonder at the mindset of those who do want to do that and are perfectly at ease with disregarding any feelings but their own.

My son is 17 and wears dresses, skirts...anything 'typically' seen as women's wear. He is nine stone soaking wet and with his long hair he often gets mistaken, for only a second, as a young woman. My husband and I have been very diligent with him - any hint from people that they think he is trans gets shot down immediately by us or, if it is said to him without us being present, was talked through at great length with him. He is also autistic. He knows and likes that he is a GNC male, despite all the sickening and rude comments he has faced in his life!! My husband and I take some credit for that.

Anyway to cut a long story short, he would NEVER enter women's spaces. He wouldn't dream of it. He is the man who crosses the damn street so he isn't walking behind women. His respect for women is part of him. If he has it they can all have it, but they don't.

I dated a man like this at uni. He was so down to earth. Why can't this be what the world fights for!
RedDogsBeg · 20/07/2021 21:35

Your son sounds fabulous @LastSummerHere as do you and your husband.

Sorry to hear narrow minded individuals try to deem him trans and that he has been on the receiving end of sickening and rude comments from pathetic individuals. Kudos to him for being true to what he is - a GNC male.

His respect for women is part of him. If he has it they can all have it, but they don't.

So very true.
