Jameela is tweeting about the NSPCC dropping Munroe Bergdorf. She's a celeb who's gone all out about "body positivity" but is apparently unable to see the irony in telling kids they might be born in the wrong body.

She's also a self-proclaimed "feminist-in-progress", yet she calls women who object to male bodies having unrestricted access to female safe spaces "a bunch of transphobic cis women".

What a feminist you are, Jameela! Way to support your sisters, who, you know, actually have to deal with men invading their spaces, while you swan around above it all.

I just mozied over to Jameela’s Twitter account. Her pinned tweet:

It is never too late to check yourself and right your wrongs. I used to be slut shamey, judgmental, and my feminism wasn’t intersectional enough. Nobody is born perfectly “woke”. Listen, read, learn, grow, change and make room for everyone. We aren’t free til ALL of us are free.

It’s just so try hard Hmm Maybe I’m the bad person for rolling my eyes, but I’m afraid whenever I heard a woman earnestly virtue signalling about how intersectional her feminism is, I know her feminism just ain’t going to be compatible with mine.

I don’t mind the sentiment of that pinned tweet so much as the ridiculously sanctimonious tone

I’m starting the think her stupidly vacuous role in the Good Place isn’t acting at all...

I wish I could locate the Magdalen Bern's video where she tackles "intersectionality" and how it's just putting more work into women's laps.

On a tangent does anyone know how Magdalen Berns is doing? I know she was very poorly. Her videos are so brilliant, clear, concise and bloody funny.

I have been wondering how Magdalen is too. She does tweet occasionally. Incredible woman.

@ZuttZeVootEeeVro Exactly! That whole mimmymum thread reminds me of that tit Ash Sarkar doing a twitter search on Julie Bindel and women in prison and concluding, on the basis of the results, that JB didn't give a shit about women in prison. Completely witless.

Magdalen popped up on twitter briefly about five days ago.

Well Jamil has completely lost the plot on Twitter now, targeting Janice Turner again. Thank goodness for the internet, when the shit hits the fan (and it will, I have no doubt, it just worries me how long it will take) the people who have bought into this madness will be unable to deny their part in it.

What is Jameela talking about here? At least 15 black transwomen murdered this year? Very public cases?

In the U.K. one transperson of colour was murdered in 2018

None so far in 2019.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unlawfully_killed_transgender_people

I counted 12 trans POC in 2019 on this list, but a Mexican/El Salvorian person located in their home country with (no race noted) surely only counts as a POC from a western perspective?

Seems a bit off by woke standards.

She calls Janice Turner a “monster” in one tweet. Can’t actually believe what I’m reading.

Is there some evidence Munroe was dropped because she is trans? Am I missing something? People can agree or disagree with the decision to drop her, but why is it transphobic? No one is objecting to a trans representative for Childline.

No, it's because she is trans so can never be questioned. Therefore, any attempt to question her is automatically 'transphobia'.

DuMondeB · 11/06/2019 22:04

There are two transmasculine people in the same Childline campaign, and as far as know, no complaints have been made about them.

Their participation has passed without comment, so opposition to Bergdorf cannot be explained away as ‘transphobia’.

Wow Jameela. Really making a show of herself here.

She lives in LA these days so knows there's megabucks to be made in turning yourself into a brand. Gwyneth Paltrow has the market on the wellness shtick, the Kardashians have sewn up the pouting and countouring side of things, so Jameela is having a go at the body positive/wokey thing.

Nice to see that Jameela has left this bit of misogyny up on her thread.

Why hasn’t someone reported that for harassment? What a vile person.

She's gone into a full on rage abour the Munroe thing. It's really bizarre.

JessicaWakefieldSV · 12/06/2019 08:54

It is bizarre. The whole thing is bizarre because people including this ‘celeb’ are totally ignoring that Munroe wasn’t dropped from anything and behaves in a completely inappropriate way for someone associated with NSPCC. They’ve targeted one tweet from Janice as the sole motivator for NSPCC which is very far from the truth.

Jameela, this isn’t a trans issue. It’s a child safeguarding one. You are behaving in an entirely irresponsible and entitled way.

I'm actually not convinced she's being serious now. I think she's winding us up.
