This is unbelievable - it is called "terfs stop being transphobic challenge"

My heart is so sad.

That these young women look across the years and see us older women as bitches.

Not seeing the young women we were, and the invisible women we are now, who defied gender stereotypes.

Who were lucky enough to live in a small sliver of the corner of the world where we existed, where we got to break out of small corners of those boxes.

"It makes them so blind that they can't see the path down which they're being lead
is another fucking path being paved by fucking men"

Shakespeare would have been so proud.

Screenshots. If anyone can’t read them apologies, let me know & I’ll do transcripts.

somebody tagged the trustees on twitter, I'm guessing that prompted a phone call!

JunebuginDecember · 05/10/2022 21:36

Loved it.

ControversialOpening · 05/10/2022 21:36

Probably for the best. There’s no point everyone laughing at a confused, teenage writer of poor poetry.

ControversialOpening · 05/10/2022 21:34

… aaaaaand the pages are gone.

what’s your opinion on this? No, not that opinion!

Athenajm80 · 05/10/2022 21:34

Neither of the links work for me. I don't suppose anyone did a screenshot?

Igmum · 05/10/2022 21:22

Great Twitter comments, great ratio, bloody ridiculous of a theatre that actually wants audiences to publish this. Why is it that every organisation has a Twitter account run by a woke 12 year old intern?

RaininginDarling · 05/10/2022 21:09

Well, that was just deeply embarrassing for everyone involved.

That Twitter response was a fun read.

EmpressaurusWitchDoesntBurn · 05/10/2022 21:04

I’m going to start a thread in AIBU.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 05/10/2022 20:48

Yawn, angsty teenage poetry. Still, it's a more healthy outlet than gender identity ideology, so this hobby should probably be encouraged.

Newflash, you're really not....👇

Why does she think toddlers have breasts?

ChristinaXYZ · 05/10/2022 19:40

I know it is easy to take this lightly because it sounds like and probably is a cross teenager but it is the fact that an internationally known theatre that is funded at least indirectly, if not directly, by tax payers thinks it is ok to publish and then praise this piece when it is so angry and uses such aggressive language about people with gender critical views who are more than likely to be women and / or lesbians. And they arrogantly think they can get away with it.

Am enjoying the comments on Twitter though!

zen1 · 05/10/2022 19:16

Also, this ‘sharing your truth’ crap winds me up.

zen1 · 05/10/2022 19:13

I don’t understand how “standing beside your transgender brothers and sisters” would make the patriarchy crumble. Might be just me though.

ArabellaScott · 05/10/2022 19:05

This sexist drivel is funded by the Arts Council, of course.

ArabellaScott · 05/10/2022 19:01

How old is the writer? Encouraging children to overuse expletives is an unusual look for a theatre.

Fenlandia · 05/10/2022 18:52

Absolutely pathetic. There's a line in there about t*rfs wanting "to pathologise every aspect of my life".

I think you'll find it's Mermaids and their ilk that want to pathologise your normal body and your unique personality into a medically-mediated lifetime of dependence FFS

Looks like Alex is enjoying using some naughty grown-up words there.

ChagSameachDoreen · 05/10/2022 18:20

"Sacreligous"... Do they mean "sacrilegious"?

Brainless idiots.
