Rosie Jones is no longer a lesbian

Anyone watching Friday Night Live? She’s just announced she is “gay”. Is this a deliberate move away from lesbians who are increasingly being targeted for being gc?

The response on twitter:

twitter.com/search?q=Jordan%20Gray%20until%3A2022-10-23%20since%3A2022-10-20&src=typed_query&f=live

There are gender critical voices but there's considerable acclaim. Lots of "iconic" and "powerful".

Yep, Ben followed up "my pronouns are..." with "my adjectives are..." so I don't think he was being entirely sincere there.

Agreed, plus he added soemthing aling the lines of..: and welcome to all genders who haven’t been invented yet.

I didn’t see the stripper, thank god, well at least the public will be left in no doubt that these people are not women.

Jordan was fantastic. Lovely to see such honesty on display. Not a hint of 'the most vulnerable' type of person in the Western World. Just narcissistic rage and an exhibitionist streak that wanted to show off their beautiful, off-the-shelf breasts and their cock. And God were they on something. It was a staggering display of... I have no words.

Ben Elton was I think being slightly disingenuous with his pronouns. It felt like he was making a point.

I felt the whole show was an awkward example of the merry dance we've being made to dance. A bit of a watershed moment I thought.

I was under the impression that the terms gay and lesbian could be used interchangeably?

Not that I'm defending Rosie Jones. I think she's a fucking arse. If she's on a show, I don't bother watching it, she's awful. She seems to be on practically everything at the moment and I thought everyone in the world loved her apart from me, so I'm delighted to find there are others who don't like her either.

And yes, she's the furthest thing possible from GC. I remember there was an issue a few months back about a man who identified as non-binary refusing to join the queue for men at a night club. The reason for male and female queues was there was a woman frisking the women, and a man frisking the men. So non-binary entitled man joins the female queue and when the female security officer refuses to carry out a body check on him, he creates the inevitable scene and posts all over social media about the outrage and discrimination. Because he feels that a female security person should be forced to pat down a person with a penis because of his feelings. Rosie Jones tweets her support for non-binary person and bleats on about discrimination. So as far as I am concerned, not only is she not funny, but she can just get in the fucking bin. Twat.

I found it all a bit cringey too. Digging out Julian Clary for goodness sake, and he's still telling all of the same jokes he told 20 years ago or more. His act hasn't moved on one bit.

Madwife123 · 22/10/2022 01:49

I’m a lesbian. I use lesbian and gay interchangeably.

Melroses · 22/10/2022 01:49

Yes, agree.

Thanks all, I’ve really enjoyed some of his books but haven’t read Identity Crisis.

Yeah definitely GC. Identity Crisis is a great read.

BitossiBlues · 21/10/2022 23:32

Everyone thought Ben Elton was GC because of his book, Identity Crisis, which contained a lot of satirical comments about gender identity.

To be fair, I'm not sure he's got any say in booking acts for FNL, and I assume nobody knew that they would pull the naked stunt (although no excuses for the misogynist song he sang, which must have been pre-vetted).

From browsing Jordan's twitter the indecent exposure seemed planned.
I thought Jordan did a great job of showing how narcisstic and vile men who say they are women are. But hey ho it is just comedy so us transphobic, right wing, Christian bigots can just go fuck ourselves. It reminds me of people going along with my abusive ex in his jokes against me. Several years later those same people had clocked him and were not laughing along anymore. Please someone tell me the laughing is going to stop and people will see this ideology for what it is, woman hating. Lots of praise on Twatter.

It's perfectly normal and commonplace for a lesbian to refer to herself, or be referred to, as a gay woman. It's honestly baffling that you've never heard it before.

RosalindsAFuckingNightmare · 22/10/2022 00:50

My second post probably explains my thoughts better @ScaryFaces - someone has posted upthread that she has identified as gay before, which I wasn't aware of, as I posted later.

Eh? Some lesbians have been calling themselves gay for decades. It's not a new or unusual thing. It has nothing to do with being GC or not. What are you even on about?

siestaingsnake · 22/10/2022 00:28

I quite liked it and laughed at some of the stuff. I was shocked when the quoted how long ago since show was last aired. I canny be that old. I like RJ, the lady in the pink suit hell no way was I expecting stripping and everything to be on show.

BitossiBlues · 22/10/2022 00:08

Actually, I take that back. I don't think BE performed at the Bush inauguration ball, it was just a song from his musical that was used. I read some rumours he did a private presentation for Bush, though.

Forestdweller11 · 22/10/2022 00:03

I'm not quite sure what I've just watched. Mary Whitehouse must be spinning.

At least with Naked Attraction you know what's going to be aired. But on FNL, with the line up on it I'm sure the last thing the general audience expected was a penis gratuitously aired. I was thinking that Jordan was channelling Victoria Wood until the strip.

May need to write to someone .

Not a weird reason. Money. Plugging his musical with Andrew Lloyd Webber, from which songs were played at Bush's inaugural ball, introduced by BE. What a good socialist.

Such a twat. He took allllll the cocaine in the 80s

Ben Elton has always been annoying. He was for some weird reason at the inauguration of George fucking Bush!

Of course it might just be easier for her to say.

RosalindsAFuckingNightmare · 21/10/2022 23:47

Ereshkigalangcleg · 21/10/2022 22:23

I was wondering if TWAW lesbians are distancing themselves from GC lesbians by calling themselves gay.

I've seen this quite a lot.

Thank you, I hadn't been aware of that before. I haven't heard RJ call herself gay before either.

'I can't wait to see the trans apologists excusing this behaviour. I wonder what tales of glory they will come up with'

Twitter is awash with idiots falling over themselves to rave about this utter horror show. Anyone daring to disagree is being labelled both a 'gammon' and a 'snowflake', (how the hell can you be both????)

RosalindsAFuckingNightmare · 21/10/2022 23:46

Well I posted before The Knob made an appearance. DP just sighed and said "well that was obvious from the start". And I noticed that the camera immediately panned to a close up of a woman laughing and clapping 🙄

The last comedian to play the piano with their cock became President of Ukraine. It's a vote winner.
