Praise for Queen Camilla's common sense

[Bertiebiscuit]

So are the rabid TRAs going to try to cancel Queen Camilla for daring to meet with and praise J K Rowling? I'd like to see them try! Probably the only useful thing any member of the Royal Family has ever done, encouraging free speech in publishing. I might even become a Royalist after all.

As people keep asking for it here's a summary of her behaviour which some find problematic.

I have no horse in the race.

For anyone who can't read the article, this is the 'evidence':

Liking a tweet that referred to trans women as "men in dresses."

Following Magdalen Berns, a lesbian who said lesbians don't have a penis.

Saying this re Maya Forstater being sacked: "Dress however you please, Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?"

Liking this tweet about self proclamed lesbian (and actual bloke with beard) Alex Drummond: "an adult human male who claims to be a lesbian (yes, he's kept his dangling bits and skipped the hormones)."

I mean I could go on but I'm sure you get the gist. The 'evidence' of 'transphobia' is just evidence of pointing out that the emperor isn't wearing any clothes

I loved the expression on Camilla's face at the coronation. The way she looked at them all after she was crowned. It was a proper 'fuck you, look where I am now' expression.

I'd rather have Camilla's family center stage than the Middleton hangers on.
@5128gap I think Diana knew when to not voice an opinion, or let things go, she couldn't have dated Muslim men and be such good friends with the gay community, if she constantly wanted to get her point across.

Diana was heading for real trouble by getting into bed with the Fayed's. No-one can predict how it would have gone.

OMG reminds me why I came off MN - how can you know any of this

How to make an absolute tit of yourself😂

Superb!!

Are you able to articulate what exactly JKR has said which you think is hateful towards trans people?

Other than stating biological fact, or do you find facts hateful?

This is such a nasty attitude. It was decades ago and, presumably, you weren't personally involved. I am not a royalist, but this just sounds like misogyny to me.

I thought it would be along those lines.

I’m probably whistling in the wind here, but can you please explain exactly what JKR has done that was both “hateful” and “damaging to trans people”?
I won’t hold my breath, but maybe I’ll be surprised (for once).

Following Magdalen Berns, a lesbian who said lesbians don't have a penis.

Magdalen Burns RIP. Bloody legend, worth seeking out her old YouTube videos, totally peaked me.

I have seen them. It's bananas.

When you say “I have no horse in the race”, you’re not actually impartial, are you? You do support males being considered as women if they say so in many cases?

Remind me when did Camilla bale out her wrong 'un son with millions?! 💰

Not a fan of Camilla/Charles affair but I support her meeting JKR.

It's a fucked up system that tells you she's our Queen when she's not accepted as such by the majority.

Thanks @TheodoreisntBeth .

@Locutus2000 did you deliberately link an article behind a paywall thinking people would just believe without reading it? Pretty underhand.

It's not about acceptance, though is it?

She married the King. That makes her the Queen. Acceptance doesn't come into it.

I have no strong feelings either way about Camilla, just making the point about the monarchical system.

That's what I said, the system tells you she's our Queen, so no one has a choice about acceptance.

Your acceptance is not actually required.

Do you accept Charles as King? Does it make a blind bit of difference? It’s kind of fascinating that you imagine what you or anyone else feels about it actually matters.

I literally said the system tells you she's our Queen so no one has a choice.

You're just arguing for the sake of it. Move on and nitpick on someone else.

It’s not news to anyone, no idea why you had to make a public service announcement about how the monarchy works.

'It's a fucked up system that tells you she's our Queen' is an opinion, not a public service announcement.

Or are only opinions you agree with allowed?

Do better.

I'd happily see her cancelled for wearing a Lady Dior bag to a recent royal wedding. The audacity

You don't have a choice about any of it, is basically the point

Have I missed a popularity poll recently?

Please provide link to support your assertion that Queen Camilla "is not accepted as such by the majority" 🙏

Before Queen Elizabeth died so ages ago.
