Caitlyn Jenner to speak to parliament.

Oh joy. Channel 4.

Caitlyn Jenner Will Address The UK's Parliament On Diversity - BuzzFeed UKapple.news/A_t-dvNi9RB6qSgmb92Wjpg

Gender season?

I hope they begin by defining the word... something tells me they won't.

Hang on, hang on. Buzzfeed are misrepresenting what will happen here. They’ve booked a meeting room. Some MPs will turn up. It’s not an address to Parliament.

Given that the talk is also focussing on diversity and homophobia, wouldn’t it be great if Linda Bellos also had the opportunity to speak at the event?

It's the Channel 4 Diversity lecture. The two previous, Riz Ahmed and Idris Elba, have been very well attended and reported. (Riz's was particularly good and is on YouTube if anyone's interested). The choice of Jenner looks like a piece of trolling in comparison. I can't imagine what C4 were thinking.

Ffs. Having Jenner speak about diversity in the Uk is like having peppa pig speak to. Parliament about vegan rights.

@SpareRibFem the second one, where the children were creeped out enough to set a trap.

Upstart I didn't but maybe you misgendered. It's easy to do without realising.

Lol I didn't. Miss perfect.

I meant I didn't see (your message)

the second one, where the children were creeped out enough to set a trap.

Poor kids. Must've been awful seeing your dad do that on camera.

Perhaps we could send someone to speak to Senate? Any ideas?

Maybe Riz Ahmed and Idris Elba would care about this, and consider becoming involved?

They’ve booked a meeting room.
Important to recognise that the ability to do this enabled the 'We Need to Talk' meeting to go ahead after Millwall cancelled their booking.

I saw a great Ricky Gervais sketch about the father of the Jenner family’s driving history....
Totally unrelated to this thread of course.

What. The. Fuck. is this Ian Katz "revelation" supposed to mean? Not just on this thread but on another.

Justine being married to Ian Katz has been known for, like, forever. His high profile media career likewise.

If one deliberately set out to alienate Justine, whose support we need, making content-free smears about her family members has got to be a sure-fire winning approach.

I think it's just an awareness that he now has a specific and powerful media role. If Channel 4 continues to push a trans agenda, while MN continues to allow free speech, then that is interesting. That's all.

IamNotDarling is correct, Jenner is speaking in the House of Commons not to Parliament at a PC beano organised by Channel 4.

I imagine a few MPs will turn up. The usual suspects.

Christ! The doublethink going on in this twitter thread

Yes, bizarre. Lily Madigan has started a petition to stop Jenner speaking to parliament.

Brain ache..

On the other hand, Jenner is clear,y not a popular choice among trans people either. So maybe it's a win...

Jenner is on record saying he knows he's not a woman.

Every single person listening to Jenner will know that no one can change sex. Yet we all have to sit there and pretend. It's ludicrous.
