a few years back, George was asking people on Twitter to leave their pronouns at the door, sounding very GC and sensible, from the standpoint of a nonconformist male in the 80’s who liked to wear makeup and dresses whilst happy to be a man and aware he’s not a woman.

Nowadays he’s going on breakfast tv mocking JK Rowling, who only replied to his bloody tweet in self defence. George started the conversation with her.

She didn’t say anything in response that wasn’t factual or on point.

And Lorraine bloody Kelly in mock bewilderment, asking “why does it always end up about toilets”
Do some bloody reading Lorraine. Open your brain. Stop pretending that you don’t understand. (in the style of Jeremy bloody Vine)

It’s so clear now that men like George and Stephen are using JKR for headlines to try and stay relevant.

I had a shifty at BG insta and he’s got (terrible) new music out, clearly aimed at a particular audience.

Lorraine is just not very deep of thought I don’t think.

lcakethereforeIam · 26/06/2025 13:28

Does anyone reckon Geezer George would even have been on Lorraine's show if he hadn't had this spat with JKR?

Also totally off topic but I am really really really FED UP of ‘celebrities’ suddenly discovering that they are also authors 😡

womanbornn · 26/06/2025 13:25

looks like he’s blocked her now on X. LOL. Don’t go in the kitchen if you can’t stand the heat.

I find it fascinating that as women we are made to be the criminals for saying ‘actually I want to pee or poop or change my sanpro in a space where I know there are just women’.

The phrase ‘why are GC obsessed with toilets’ or as LK says ‘why is all about toilets’ is basically minimising and dismissing what women want.

I am not obsessed with others genitals, but I do care about my and my fellow women and girls felt and real safety.

Lorraine - just because you don’t mind sharing a toilet with a trans woman you don’t get to abuse your privilege as a wealthy, well connected, celebrity to dictate what other women find uncomfortable and at times scary.

yep, the very same. I wonder what caused his 360 degree turn on things? Something clearly did.

His income stream probably. He’d have been cancelled if he carried on speaking sense. Not wealthy or popular enough to risk it.

Boy George (a male title) is an attention seeking, violent and nasty criminal.
Lorraine has been pretty successful as a woman who twitters and fawns.

Nails it

How did you acquire yours?

I think it's varied through the ages.

Back in cave man times they just bonked them on the head and dragged it back to the cave.

When the cowboys roamed the plains they rounded them up like cattle.

These days you just pick one up at Tesco.

It’s past the time that Lorraine Kelly should have been put out to pasture. Along with Jeremy Vine, and a few others. Way past their sell by date, and it’s not an age thing.

I know, it’s ridiculous. Acquiring a sex? How does that work then! LOL.

I got mine on Amazon last prime day 😂😂😂😂😂

I mean, it's 'gender critical' activists who made it about toilets, the delightful people at Sex Matters are trying to work out how to make it an illegal offence to use the toilet of your acquired sex and JK Rowling has been telling people to photograph people they think may be trans in the toilet (which would be an offence) and post them up on Elon Musk's far right site. All totally normal behaviour.

No, mate. The transwoman in a frock and cheap wig who masturbated in front of me in the ladies thirty odd years ago made it 'about toilets'. I didn't bring it up, he bloody well did.

Men need to stay out of women's spaces.

There is no such thing as 'acquired sex', don't be ridiculous.

augustusglupe · 26/06/2025 12:57

I laughed abit at Lorraine sitting there going Yeeesss, yeesssss, oh yeeeesss.
Christ, she’s hopeless.

WinterTrees · 26/06/2025 12:54

I wasn't going to seek out the clip as watching Lorraine Kelly gives me the same feeling as running my fingernails down a chalkboard, but I've just seen it on Instagram.

So many questions.

What has BG done to himself? He looks like he'd come straight from the dentist's chair and his mouth was still numb. Why was he slurring and dribbling slightly?

Why does he not know that JKR is an author not a film director?

Why does Lorraine persist with the hand-wringing, faux-bewildered 'I just wish we could all talk nicely' and 'be fair' act while mocking and laughing at JKR and agreeing with BG - the man convicted of kidnap and assault - saying she's a horrible person. Why does no one at ITV have a word with her about self-awareness? Why is she given such a massive platform when she has negative amounts of journalistic integrity?

And a note to BG - men's toilets might be horrible stinky places, because men piss everywhere and don't clean up after themselves, but women's toilets tend to be a lot nicer. Which is one reason, amongst many more weighty ones, why we'd like men to stay the fuck out of them.

Stephen Fry

Boy George

Ben Maguire MP

H from Steps

Pedro Pascal

Billy Bragg

That is six blokes who have come out and told JKR what a terrible person she is just in the last week.

None have made a coherent argument against points she made in her essay.

None of them have shown any signs that they have even bothered to read it.

They just all portray her as a crazy woman on twitter but none of them would last a minute if they debated the issues with her instead of just chucking mud and telling themselves how kind they are

The hypocrisy is disgusting

Old Man George is now a high priest in the Church of the Poison Mind

Presumably these days George should be renamed Girl George for “not behaving as a little boy should”. (Or Old Woman George? Hag George? Old Bag George? If he’s so keen on gendered stereotypes.)

It doesn't end with toilets. That's where it starts. That's the line in the sand. It's the gendered space that most people will use every. Giving way, letting them be colonised by men will make it harder to defend spaces where women are even more vulnerable. Just like they took 'woman', were taking 'female' and were coming for 'biological woman'.

Also all those vulnerable women who have cause to use single sex spaces where all the women are vulnerable, also use public and work place toilets.

I don't understand where this idea suddenly comes from that toilets aren't important. Of course they are. Toilets are something every woman uses everyday and to have safe and accessible toilets available outside the home and at work is vital. For woman who want their toilets at work and out shopping/socialising to be free of men, toilets are an issue that concerns them every day potentially.

Beware of the fifth columnists.

That said, we all know why toilets are the fighting ground; transactivists hope that they can use toilets as the thin edge of the wedge now their tactic of removing the boundary in high risk environments such as prisons, failed.

Toilets aren't the thin edge of the wedge. They are the single sex spaces women and girld are most likely to use.

TRA dont use public toilets to force their way into prisions and hospital wards. They achieved that by lobbying clueless governments. They use the fact that they are using monotored single sex spaces to force their way into public spaces thats arent monitored by anyone in authority.

You misunderstood.

The tactic used by transactivists until recently was to ensure male prisoners could be sent to womens prisons if they claimed to be transgender. This was a deliberate tactic as they reasoned that if transwomen in womens prisons were a done deal it would be much easier to also ensure usage of and entry to other womens single sex spaces.

This failed spectaculairly so they switched tactics. If toilets can be mixed sex, then start arguing for changing rooms and then for hospital wards, then rape therapy groups etc etc. Toilets is the foot in the door. I want it slammed shut as I do no trust transactivists to think of anyone but themselves.

BG enrages me. His twitter includes a pic of him with his dad, stating that his father had no problem with having a gay son. Indeed, his father did not take issue with his sons sexuality.

What he did do was ruthlessly and ceaselessly batter BG's mother from shortly after they met until he finally left her for another woman when the kids were all adults. BG's brother murdered his own wife.

When BG's patents were newly engaged, he beat her severely in his own family home, only stopping when his dad shouted 'will you stop beating that girl, you're keeping the whole house up' or similar.

BG comes from the most disturbing disfunction imaginable, so all the comments about his loving family are well meant ignorance. He is the product of generational abuse and he is bringing it into this generation.

A Lorraine the biggest fawning transmaiden of them all

That woman has less strength about her than a well used sheet of bogroll that's been in a full septic tank for nine years.

George is regretting his mantrum at JKR.

After he called her a rich bully, she pointed out that he was rich and famous from a young age. She also pointed out that most violent crime is committed by men - like him.

Now he's trying to play it down by saying 'the internet' makes strangers argue with each other and really there should be less hate online.
