Shock horror! 80s gender bender thinks gender fluidity is ‘a load of crap.’

The pile on doesn’t seem to have begun yet, although I think the genderists might have a hard job picking on Mister Marilyn.

How come he’s still so hot and young-looking? He must be at least fifty, no? That’s some good genes.

He was so beautiful back in the day. None of those androgynous men ever thought they were women, they were just proud to be who they were, and we loved them for it. No conflict with women at all. How did it go so wrong..?

Funny how the pop stars who were GNC when it actually was brave are all perfectly clear that they are quite aware what sex they are.

Imagine thinking you know more about gender nonconformity than Marilyn, Alison Moyet and Boy George. I mean really.

Aw he was the soundtrack of my Saturdays! Read boy George's autobiography last year and it was brilliant! Marilyn was in a relationship with Gavin Rossdale for ages apparently- who knew? Anyway I always fancied him - tbh still do a bit 😬

EVERYONE STOP OBJECTIFYING MARILYN

Beerflavourednipples · 29/01/2019 21:28

It just hammers home how much the young'uns think they invested 'gender non-conformity' doesn't it?

Now you are just reminding me how gorgeous Billy Mackenzie was

Can’t make me, so ner.

Us women in our 40's grew up with these men who wore make up (and were quite clearly men) and androgynous women (who were nonetheless very much sure of their being women) which is why the current trans fad does not compute.

AnyFucker · 29/01/2019 22:02

Gorgeous man (adult human male)

AngryAttackKittens · 29/01/2019 22:03

I liked the old school androgynous men who fucked around with gender stereotypes without pretending that doing so changed their sex. They were lovely. Can we have them back, please? The current crop of angry young men with painted baseball bats and hulking middle aged men acting out a particularly unfortunate form of midlife crisis are vastly inferior.

Marilyn has great bone structure, but Boy George was prettier imo. Both appear to be on good speaking terms with reality, which is perhaps the most attractive trait a person can have these days.

megletthesecond · 29/01/2019 22:08

itssame I've crossed out the gender option on school forms too.

hipsterfun · 29/01/2019 22:20

Beautiful man doing femininity - what’s not to like?

Man claiming to be actual woman Hmm

Why is that?

BettyDuMonde · 29/01/2019 22:23

Can I just momentarily interrupt to ask everyone to take a moment to remember the day that Sigue Sigue Sputnik were on TV AM?

Thanks.

Gavin Rossdale

Saw him play in Shepherd’s Bush many years ago, have come over all funny remembering that gig.

LangCleg · 29/01/2019 22:39

My mum was in love with Boy George. Mocked mercilessly for her middle-aged crush by the rest of the family!

HandsOffMyRights · 29/01/2019 22:48

I 'liked' a Boy George tweet - I think it was about pronouns. Then he followed me Grin Now he doesn't Sad hope he doesn't think I'm too t*rfy.

I wonder what Billy, Steve, Pete and those dearly departed gender benders would say today?

I hope others speak out - Marc Almond, Andy Bell and co. It would also be useful given that MRAs regularly conflate trans with sexuality for their own gains, when actually, it's the MRAs who are commonly regressive in their views re homosexuality.

MrsJayy · 29/01/2019 22:57

God Betty I remember that there was some substance use Grin

FlippinFumin · 29/01/2019 23:07

The Boy George tweet was along the lines of ‘be more than a pronoun’. There was no great pile on, just a few ‘oh how disappointing of you George’ replies.

IamFrauBlucher · 29/01/2019 23:43

@EachandEveryone I absolutely blardy loved BM and wore out my Associates cassette in my shiny pink 80's blaster.

Now I have "waiting for the love boat" ringing a nice ohrwurm. Grin

BettyDuMonde · 29/01/2019 23:43

I’d love to know what Pete Burns would’ve made of it all - I don’t think he would be very impressed with the 🏌️‍♀️ and the 👨‍⚕️

Arnoldillo · 30/01/2019 00:48

Oh God please don't talk about Billy. I mean, do, because he was wonderful, but it still makes me sad.

Marilyn is tweeting and retweeting his heart out on this issue now, God love him.
