Transwomen - The Axis of Awesome

It's an old video, but I recently came across an Australian band called the Axis of Awesome and started watching their videos; they are hilarious, witty, very talented, and very clever.

I just learned that their lead singer transitioned to female and the band wrote a song about it, which is what I'd like to present here:

I'm curious what other MNetters think about this situation, song, and the comedy they employ around her transition.

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, so if you are one such it might be better not to post in this thread; I'm interested in serious, thoughtful responses only. Thank you 😊

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

Are you looking simply for people to agree with you? You’re on the wrong site, if so. Over here we think for ourselves.

I’m really not sure I understand the point of your post, it’s a funny ten year old video by a trio who were good at combining music and comedy.

Being gender critical and having a sense of humour or appreciating music aren’t mutually exclusive and I don’t think we’re so behind the times that something a decade old will suddenly make us view the whole situation differently.

It’s also interesting how you ask for serious, thoughtful responses only. I may have misinterpreted that but it seems to imply that only the views similar to yours are serious and thoughtful?

Mate, I knew of Jayne County when he was still Wayne. We don't button up at the back you know.

Well - having thought long and hard about it, @CosyJadeEagle, I believe that human beings cannot change sex. No amount of surgery, medication or hormones will change a man into a woman, or vice versa.

Again, after a lot of deep thought, I have come to the conclusion that women and girls (those born female) deserve to keep their single sex spaces - changing rooms, toilets, prison cells, sports, scholarships.

Trans people should campaign for their own spaces, sports, scholarships etc, rather than invading ours.

'I just learned...'

Oh aye... I believe you. Millions wouldn't.
