Transwomen - The Axis of Awesome

So sad 😞

#sadtimes

They broke up in 2018.

It's none of their "fucking business" why we want to keep our spaces single sex.
Part of the song is humourous, but when they start banging on about "which toilet do you use" because Lee is bald it slips into a piss take.
The singer hasn't transitioned "to female" because he can't. He can try to present to himself as a woman but he hasn't changed sex. It's just another load of probably left leaning blokes moaning.
You asked for opinions and that is mine.

What 'science' tells you that men can become women?

What kind of 'social decency' results in women being incarcerated with men and sexually abused by them in prison?

What rights are transwomen missing?

I thought it was quite entertaining (in parts) and a creative way to address the fact that the lead singer now identifies as a woman.

Although it did lose its way a bit when asking whether the bald guy is going to cut his dick off because that's nothing to do with hair. I guess they ran out of metaphors.

I don't agree with any of their sentiments and I'm very firmly GC, but I can appreciate a creative approach to making the announcement. I wouldn't be in the audience laughing along because the erosion of women's rights isn't something that I find funny.

As an aside, the lead singer looks like Meatloaf in a dress and lipstick.

No, I can't take the credit for it. A friend shared it with me as they thought I would like it (I do).

I prefer this song.

The "rather... ahem... refreshing view when it comes to respecting and accepting other people" group of people have an issue with the destruction of women's rights and the medicalisation and mutilation of children. I don't give a fuck how people dress and who they think they are as long as they don't destroy female private spaces or encourage children to chop off heathy body parts.

No idea what the point of your thread is, apart from the goady parts.

My thoughts on the video? “Oh, & Jordan’s a woman now.” He’s not. He’s still the same male band member just dressed ‘as’ a woman & appropriating the name for the opposite sex.

🥱🥱

I loved the three chord song by axis of awesome. Very clever and entertaining.

This bald one not so much because it doesn't make any sense the questions asked are not relevant to a balding man. Also my bald mates mainly feel like they should still have hair but are forced to be bald. Maybe they should all get wigs and we can all acknowledge that they truly have hair and it isn't fake.

The singer looked the same pretty much since the previous video. Bit more lippy and a dress. Meh as long as they are still funny. I'd still listen to the 3 chord song any day.

You post a lighthearted comedy video but only want “serious, thoughtful responses”. Must be fun in your world.

My serious response: seems fine to me. Wear what you like. He seems happy. I’m not offended but see why people who aren’t me might be. Same as the Minstrel shows. Not offended, see why others might very much be. You?

Yep. He's bald. And still a man. So I guess we're in agreement OP that physical changes like hairdos or clothes make no difference to how someone should be viewed. Quite rightly.

We do have a “refreshing view” here in comparison to the rest of the internet where everyone feels obliged to pretend they think men are women, thanks OP!

I am looking forward to a future where men who transition, and women who transition, are accepted as people who remain exactly the same men and women they were before transition, and that none of us need to think about it at all because for everyone apart from them, nothing has changed.

Incidentally, if you’re interested in performers who have transitioned, but you would also like them to have fabulous voices and frankly more interesting subject matter, there’s Adèle Anderson of Fascinating Aida.

I used to run the bar at one of Jayne's regular venues. He was always jolly good value, both onstage & knocking them back at the subsequent aftershow lock in. Likeable chap.

If you want something funny we could travel back to 1979, Life of Brian, now that was funny. Who knew Loretta was so ahead of her time

Oh but a good drive by scolding can give such a smugly satisfying sense of superiority over all the thickos who aren’t quite as educated.

I do love a rhetorical question😁

Now I know that MN has a small, noisy contingent of people who have a rather... ahem... refreshing view when it comes to respecting and accepting other people,

Can't say that I've seen much evidence of baldphobia on this board

That’s actually hilarious - though I’m assuming that the ‘transwoman’ is part of the parody, cos Jordan doesn’t seriously think he looks anything like a woman???
Not sure how they’re getting away with it in Oz tho!

Was there a genuine point behind posting this aside from the drive by scolding?
