Ooh. Haven't seen it yet, but I'll watch tomorrow.

I was so disappointed when I saw Ian Hislop's letter to Glinner which said that the issues related to gender identity belief weren't worth worrying about. It not only belittled the impact (medical experimentation on children, women's sports being infiltrated by men who identify as women etc) but it also belittled what he had been through, as if losing so much because of standing up to this had been pointless.

Anyway, that said, this is a positive direction. Obviously I've not seen it yet but at face value it feels a bit like a weathervane exercise: put up some satire on a programme (that is very popular with the left-leaning 35+ year old audience) that dares to poke fun at the idea that we all have a gender identity and see what happens. Mass complaints, silence?

Satire should not have waited until it was safe. Come on Hislop, you’re an intelligent man and you’ve been in court more times than I’ve had hot meals. You should have been all over this YEARS ago.

The silence or near-silence from Hislop, Private Eye and HIGNFY have been incredibly disappointing all these years.

Here's literal proof that the joking was invalid:

Hislop came out with some nonsense in the latest page 94 podcast. I was quite surprised, I thought he was more GC.

It's safe now.

Yep. Plus recent discussion on here revealed that awful show where they bullied Paula Yates by repeatedly commenting on her breasts. They can fuck off.

This.

They all got very giddy immediately afterwards - hysterical relief at having got away with it, perhaps.

The thin end of a very welcome wedge?

Fubbs · 19/04/2024 21:34

I could hardly believe it! Audience were a bit quiet for the hospital bit, were probably as surprised as me!!

popebishop · 19/04/2024 21:31

Sure I saw 'agender' on the list of genders!! How very phobic of the hospital!

Pattygonia · 19/04/2024 21:29

And a quick mention of JKR….

BrownSauceOnBeans · 19/04/2024 21:24

Munya and Jo unsurprisingly silent…

SidewaysOtter · 19/04/2024 21:22

I can’t say I’m not pleased but fuck me, it’s taken them long enough.

Zebracat · 19/04/2024 21:20

I was thrilled!
