Not to like the Globe Theatre calling me a bitch?

OK, not to my face. But following the non-binary Joan of Arc play they’ve shared a ‘terfs stop being transphobic challenge’ referring to anyone who doesn’t believe in gender identity as a bitch.

It’s a shame. I’ve been to some amazing plays at the Globe. But they’ve made their position on feminists pretty clear, so I won’t be going back.

Feck, all those times I've just used my initials. Didn't realised I'd transed myself.

'She' is also now Robert Galbraith?

And how exactly does that impinge on the rights of others?

Errrrr….. what exactly are you drinking? Can I have some? It bus be really good stuff. How are initials changing sex? Is the letter J only used by males now, or is it the K that’s masculine?

Here's an interview with her. Her name is Joanne.

Oh my god!! My bank card only has my initials on! I’ve changed sex! Right women, listen to me. As a male (and I know cos I’ve got initials), you need to stop this jibberjabber and pay attention only to me

Because she states the immutable sex of a woman?
Yet has no problem changing her name?

That counts. You are now a true and honest man. Embrace your masculinity.

Well that's a stupid argument AND it still doesn't answer the question of how it impinges the rights of others!

She uses a pseudonym to combat sexism. Not demand entry to male toilets. 😁

TeenDivided · 08/10/2022 17:25

Let me get this straight.
A woman uses her initials, partly to avoid being discriminated against on the grounds of her sex and... you think she has literally changed sex?!?!

I’ve just realised my cat doesn’t have initials, does that mean he’s now a girl?

But what's in a name?

Well to be fair, that’s probably one of the least bonkers thinks @pass has come out with today.

I just guffawed loudly at that. 🙄

RUFISRUF · 08/10/2022 17:28

Oh noo. The Brontë sisters! George Elliot! Does that mean that these female writers were really men?

Passmethewhat · 08/10/2022 17:29

I wonder does Robert use the ladies or the gents?

Well, in fairness, you can't say that a name change hasn't let to a lot of other people claiming they've changed sex. Its got to be confusing for Pass.

Suddenly....no longer sit with my knees together(!).....hair shortening....football....give me a full pint dammit!

Someone, anyone give me a bottle of nail varnish...lipstick...even just some tinted moisturiser!

Well I know girls called Bobby, Sam, Charlie and Jesse. All definitely girls. So why can’t a girl be called Robert?

I still want to know what living as a woman means.

You'll be waiting a long time for that answer. Aside from 'it's a feeling' 🙄

It would confuse the volunteer at the school gate when you ask for your daughter. They’d probably go off shouting for Robin.

IcakethereforeIam · 08/10/2022 17:33

Fgs, be careful using that name! They'll pop up complaining about being misbundled.
