Famous undeclared GC people?

[ProfessionalBarren]

Who do you think might be gender critical on the quiet? David Baddiel has just posted something about polyamory on a twitter thread about the doxxing of a GC uni professor. I think he must see this is all Pomo nonsense. Obviously we have Graham Linehan who’s been a compete star.

But are so many other intelligent, critically thinking famous people out there, especially the comedians, there must surely be some who are desperate to call out TRA bullshit. Where are they all hiding?

Ian Hislop

Ian Hislop is an interesting one. I thought the fact he picked a pussy hat for the BM exhibition on dissent was deliberate. He's going to have heard of all the batshittery surrounding the hats.

Are the TRA's going to picket the BM cos this hurt their feelz? Come on Bergdorf... surely you've got an opinion on how exclusionary this is.

Thanks for the article. Agree with your observations.

Just as a disclaimer to 'offended' tourist MNetters, Hislop has not said he is GC in tweets, but if you read Private Eye (esp its satirical take on Gulags) I think you'll see that they get this.

They see you. Yes you with your threats and gagging orders.

Mary Beard is also staying very quiet.

I thought that too. Also Marina Hyde.

No one wants the flack and abuse. Women in particular are scared, with good reason, of violence.
Graham Linehan has been extremely brave in speaking out for women, he could so easily have stayed quiet.
I have huge respect for those who have stuck their heads above the parapet. I am very vocal on this in real life, but much less so on twitter, because I know if I started to get threats , I would find it overwhelmingly stressful.

Grayson Perry says quite categorically that he is not trans. But, the Stonewall umbrella says he that he is.

Not heard him comment on that imposition on his autonomy.

I am trans under the trans umbrella. It is a very big umbrella...

And I'm bisexual vix

Which is strange to me as I've only ever been attracted to men. That umbrella sure is an interesting thing.

I think Russell Howard from the material in his shows Ive seen. Not seen anything on social media though

Grayson Perry's- posted a pic of himself in the gents, wearing a dress. YY to boy George too. Sure Robert Webb wrote an article a year or two back and was hammered for it. @giagia is fab

Robert Webb is fairly open.
Kate Long (author of The Bad Mothers Handbook), not a major celeb but very GC.

I’ve picked up some great new people to follow on Twitter from this thread so thanks people.

Sorry posted too soon ^^ comedian Jay Handley

Robert Winston has spoken out re his concerns of transing children in particular the risk of rendering them infertile.

Ooh and Kevin Bridges touches on transing in his recent tour. It wasn’t too specific but certainly left you with the feeling he doesn’t think much of someone announcing they are trans - being working class I’m pretty sure many other working class Glaswegians would feel the same (certainly got a good response from the crowd in Glasgow)

Sorry if already mentioned but I felt certain that "professional feminist", Emma Thompson would be GC
BUT, a quick google reveals how enthusiastic she is about this brave new world:
(Interviewer to Thompson)- "Has your thinking about feminism changed over time?"
(Thompson) "Oh yes. I find it incredibly exciting at the moment because this new generation of girls — Generation Z, I believe — are challenging me all the time. I’m learning new things. Gender fluidity is fascinating to me. Every time someone says you’ve got to learn words like cisgender or trans, or when someone asks me to refer to “thee” or “thou” I get so excited."
ah well...

when someone asks me to refer to “thee” or “thou”

That sounds like someone identifying as a particularly pretentious luvvie or suchlike ...

I know, Errol! Isn't the genderist movement dramatic enough!!

I'd be inclined to think anyone specifying 'thou' and 'thine' etc was gently mocking the pronouns thing tbh .... those are at least ones which could be used to thy face and are sex-neutral.

I've just remembered, I think there's a bit in Good Wives where the Professor likes it when Jo calls him 'thou', more romantic/Germanic or something.

I htink thou was for people you are close to - may be a bit like the French vous and tu distinction? I sing Thee an awful lot all the time - in church music.

"The word thou (/ðaʊ/) is a second person singular pronoun in English. ... Starting in the 1300s, thou was used to express intimacy, familiarity or even disrespect, while another pronoun, you, the oblique/objective form of ye, was used for formal circumstances."

I think with politicians there is something of a justification.

I don't. MPs who remain silent are the group I feel most contempt for. Not only are they are wilfully disregarding 50% of the people they were elected to serve, they are either complicitly, or in some cases actively, promoting an agenda which is harmful to those people.

And they are doing that as the group who have most recourse to security and legal measures to keep them safe.

The League of Gentlemen.
Particularly the live show that toured recently, along with 'Babs cabs' and the LGBTQ+ alphabet soup. They had a 'problem page' section with the lady vicar character. She took the mick about people being so woke they were consumed by which toilet they went into etc based on someone identifying as a Unicorn.

Yes but they think that coming out will damage their behind the scenes efforts. Mine isn't out, but has written to Mordaunt expressing concern and asking various questions.

Also I feel sympathy for politicians as I'm out personally and professionally but not 'publicly' because it would be pointless and actually harmful to the things I'm trying to do. So my view is biased by that.
