I see; crossed wires. Thanks!

This is about the cartoon posted earlier not the GLP campaign.

No it's because it's easier to portray the person they want to show when it's cartoon. With photographic images you either need to select the person modelling from the tiny fraction of people who come close to "passing" (not available in the average "mom's basement" where these things are made) and then choose the angles and filters very carefully, or use photoshop heavily. Otherwise anyone who isn't blinded by sexist belief that gender-coded clothing must override all other signals is going to react to the image as "well that's just clearly a bloke in makeup" or "well that's just clearly a young woman trying to look tough" and in a cartoon it's way easier to pitch the image in the middle ground of "hmm is that supposed to be a male or female?"

The cartoon that @DieWaarheid thought "relevant" really shows how little thought they have given to people's real thoughts and needs. It's not bad for illustrating how a crusty old stick-in-the-mud can learn to accept and celebrate diversity (yay! We are all for diversity and living free and authentic unrepressed lives - and GC people aren't disputing that) but totally fails to even register that being GC is not about being a crusty old stick-in-the-mud with no appreciation for diversity, but is most usually about being a kind hearted, left-of-centre non-judgemental person who celebrates and accepts diversity and upholds the rights of women and girls to single sex spaces and recognises that a female only space that any male person can enter if he says the magic words can never be single sex.

Keep It Coming, as far as I'm concerned! The Good Laugh Project has given everyone on this thread a spring in their step - again. I really can't wait for the next instalment.

In fact F*CK NO

He did this:

'Woman=Man (Stockholm, Sweden)
International Women's Day Finland, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, UK, 2025
International Women's Day calls for equality regardless of gender; at its simplest, a world where woman=man. '

Which is spectacularly po-faced, tin-eared, and silly.

He seems to make a point of talking FOR people he sees as having less social capital/power than him. Thank goodness for mediocre white men telling us who we are, eh?

Like a rip off Jenny Holzer.

There are quite a lot of these slogan artists about, at the moment.

Choose your monster, ladies!

I am mostly thinking Banshee, at the moment. Bean-nighe, for a bit more Scottish flavour.

Ah, Assigned Male.

Why the T Rex? Or is it supposed to be Godzilla?

Either way it seems pointless, since one has been extinct for 66 million years and the other is a figment of imagination.

What the hell!

Sophie/Guillaume LaBelle is the creepy tracer.

(I hate that I know this)

Edit: not the poster board artist for this thing though, I think

As in, pics of kids in nappies? [vom]

Is it Martin Firrell? I can't find much about him just searching his name, and don't really want to search is name + anything to do with kids...

And much more likeable. Je suis monstrous

What's his name again? I know who you mean, can't remember the name. Horrible man. Sophie something?

Mainly to those of us that have been here a fair old while.

You can google his name. He calls himself a 'daiperful artist' which might help your research.

Looks a little bit racist to me

'Because they have separated 'trans' as The Latest Thing from the people that are actually involved.'

They are using 'Trans' as a stand in for a concept, not talking about people with trans identities. That's how they get to 'I support trans'. They don't mean 'trans people'. They mean the concept.

No, I mean specifically the wording.

Because they have separated 'trans' as The Latest Thing from the people that are actually involved.

This has been going on for a long time. Lots of people On the Right Side of History have very little clue who they are actually agitating for. See, say, 'Guides Against Trans Inclusion', who have been a bit bamboozled when Melissa Poulton and other equally unsavoury trans identifying men have flocked to their cause.

Who is it? are they known?

No, it didn't really work
I do wonder how/why it got signed off though. Did someone at GLP actually go, 'Yep, that's great, not at all dehumanising, makes great grammatical sense – send it to print!'?
Or did GLP produce them themselves in someone's garden shed?
