Thank you Fionne, for proudly being who you are. X

Fionne you are so refreshing. Thank you. I don't like complimenting people on their looks because sometimes it feels like that is all society values but you are one beautiful man.

Brontelot · 06/10/2018 17:26

Fionne is so beautiful. An amazing role model too.

NotAnotherJaffaCake · 06/10/2018 17:30

Thank you Fionne for blazing a trail for my children!

Gileswithachainsaw · 06/10/2018 17:32

Thank you Smile

Fionne Orlander is genuinely expanding the bandwidth of what it means to be a man. Unlike Alex Drummond who claims that Alex and beard are expanding what it means to be a women.

I would go further and say that Fionne Orlander is expanding the bandwidth of what it means to be a rational, beautiful man whom I would like to be an inspirational role model to other men.

Very well put, and I agree with every word.

TopBitchoftheWitches · 06/10/2018 17:46

What a beautiful person he is.

OrchidInTheSun · 06/10/2018 17:49

Bloody love Fionne :)

MrsKCastle · 06/10/2018 17:53

Only discovered Fionne recently on Twitter, and I agree with all the above! Very courageous and a rational voice in all the madness.

numptynuts · 06/10/2018 18:02

Me too MrsK.

WanderinWomb · 06/10/2018 22:41

Looking ace in that T-shirt our lad. Like a real 20th century boy.

This is what young people are scared of these days, actually subverting some genders norms.
I innocently thought we had it all sewn up in the 80s . . . . .

LangCleg · 06/10/2018 22:52

You should come here to play, Fionne!

speakingwoman · 06/10/2018 23:02

Nice!

Badgerthebodger · 06/10/2018 23:04

Hoping Fionne is still having a nosey, you’re an amazing person for putting this out there when you are undoubtedly getting a load of shit for it from people who should be on your side. Well done you, bloody brilliant stuff to say that you can be whoever you want to be, and no need to change sex at all!

Why not be a beautiful, feminine man? Why not be a beautiful, masculine woman? Why do these fabulous individuals have to conform to rigid thinking that says if Fionne wants to look like that he has to “become” a woman?

Fionne, and all your mates, and anyone like you who is actually expanding the bandwidth of gender - I genuinely would be happy to use whatever pronoun you felt appropriate. I’m pretty confident you’d ask politely, rather than insist and I think that’s why I wouldn’t mind at all. Sorry there are some who are hellbent on ruining that courtesy for you.

ErrolTheDragon · 06/10/2018 23:06

I suspect Fionne may be somewhat politely amused and bemused by having acquired a fan club on a parenting website. Grin

Badgerthebodger · 06/10/2018 23:21

Errol Grin hope we haven’t completely destroyed his street cred

IamEarthymama · 06/10/2018 23:31

Fionn has made my day!
I grew into my real self, loving Bowie and T-Rex, then the New Romantics, with George’s flawless make up.
In fact my most beloved style these days is very Culture Club with the layers and flounces.
I love that as a lesbian with children and grandchildren I am modelling myself of that outrageous gay lad who challenged so many norms.
Fionn gives me hope!

Destinysdaughter · 07/10/2018 07:48

OMG I've never heard of John Maclean before but he is fabulous! 😀💜

waterlego6064 · 07/10/2018 08:17

Wow, how refreshing. Thank you Fionne for telling the truth. 💐

SophoclesTheFox · 07/10/2018 08:38

fistbump, fionne, for getting it and for being actually, genuinely brave (as opposed to Brave And Stunning).

Am transfixed by John! There's something hypnotic about his videos.

AngryAttackKittens · 07/10/2018 08:58

I remember when I could go clubbing and be guaranteed to run into at least a couple of men like Fionne. What the hell happened? I thought by the 90s everyone had more or less gotten used to the idea that men don't have to be masculine and women don't have to be feminine, but damn did things ever take a wrong turn between then and now.

IrenetheQuaint · 07/10/2018 09:02

I like Kinesis on Twitter too. Think it's super important that we acknowledge and support all the nice considerate trans people out there who find a way of leading the life they want to without trampling on other people's rights and spaces.

sexnotgender · 07/10/2018 09:04

Fionne seems like a beautiful person inside and out. I follow them on twitter and respect their stance in this madness.

Estellesylvia · 07/10/2018 09:51

I really like Kinesis too. Let’s see more of these gentle, respectful gender non conforming men. I’m sure they must be out there but are drowned out by the entitled bullying screeching of the TRAs.

ErrolTheDragon · 07/10/2018 11:30

I've never heard of John Maclean before but he is fabulous
I noticed he does videos starting and ending with no makeup - no qualms about reality rather than illusion, which is good!
