Alabanza retweeted these reviews:

BURGERZ by @travisalabanza was an absolutely phenomenal piece of work. So intricately written with such an important message, perfectly woven into a performance that felt both fierce and tender - all whilst deeply rooted in authenticity. Oh and the direction? Sublime 👌🏾

I saw the matinee of #Burgerz by @travisalabanza yesterday and it feels so special to have been there. Part emotional release, part humorous romp, part ritual - retelling and reclaiming of trauma - it was flawlessly managed and controlled. Hats off! Such strength and beauty 💜

Alabanza didn't retweet this one:

Which is a shame as it appears to be very accurate (and entertaining) Enjoy Grin

Maybe we need a sticky with the pronouns of the most prominent and likely to be discussed TRAs

I can just imagine the gnashing of teeth of the ones who don't make the list Grin

Hahahaha yes!

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 04/11/2018 22:44

And the rest of us common or garden women can get called whatever it is the fuckers want to call us like terf

To be fair to MNHQ they will also delete "terf" or "cis".

I wish to be addressed as Her Serene Highness, Empress Of All She Surveys.

Exactly.

Surely the only correct form of address for any cat is Your Magnificence.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 04/11/2018 22:48

Where to draw the line of when requested pronouns should be used and when they shouldn't. Why is your request any less valid tham Alabanza requesting "they"?

Lang I also claim a regal title of "your majesty". And my pronouns are thou. Happy to pay you tribute as a lesser monarch as you are Grand Empress of the universe.

AngryAttackKittens · 04/11/2018 22:51

I may decide to identify as a tiger on Wednesdays and a leopard on Fridays, just to switch things up. Pls respect my deeply felt identity and associated right to bulldoze other people's boundaries in the name of social justice.

FFSFFSFFS · 04/11/2018 22:52

Just to point out that I used the pronoun he and the descriptor guy when saying that I thought that he was the guy who had created a fuss because he wanted to use the women's and girls changing rooms at top shop

The point that this is problematic because he is in the category of sex male - also categorized as a man and in accordance with standard English language accorded the pronoun he.

And this right here is why language matters - because if I said "they" were trying to access the women's changing rooms or "she" was there would be no way to identify the potential threat to women in the situation.

And that is why language matters and why women need to protect our category.

If only i could conscionably part with the money to see this twaddle

littlbrowndog · 04/11/2018 22:56

So hang on a minute, does that mean MN have actually been on they’s web sight and checked, just so they didn’t offend they? How considerate of them...

I’m currently writing a contemporary performance piece about the time In Home Ec when a boy called me names and took the corned beef out of his sandwich and threw it at me. Took me ages to pick it all off,it was all ground in and caked onto my bag.

This is a really good point. Is this rewriting of language a deliberate tactic, or just the natural consequence of all of this snowflakey entitlement?

I suspect it is more likely that an individual may have a Google alert set up on their name, and may have contacted MNHQ to remind them of their obligations ....

Ok. I'm dead. I shall never stop laughing.

Poor Hebe!

Am extra annoyed cos Travis says the play is on a UK tour.

Two dates in London and one in Manchester seem to now identify as a UK tour.

Annoying. I've gone further afield than They's tour to get my shopping.

I accept your tribute. I am a benevolent dictator.

Wants to know if MN modes are facebooking or doing online shopping, whilst surfing a burger website

LemonJello · 04/11/2018 23:14

Howling at this 😂😂😂

Tempted to attend their next show in Manchester. Haven't had a burger in ages

IKeepFlouncing · 04/11/2018 23:25

Just looking at twitter #burger. Ffs even burgerZ has changed spelling.

Tweets : Can’t stop thinking about burgerZ

Me neither I want chips too.

DeRigueurMortis · 04/11/2018 23:26

It's a shame they didn't think of calling Sarah Brown in to the show to provide the burger pickles ...
