Interesting TV commentary

Two interesting TV items in 24hrs....

First off, k.d. lang on Channel four news earlier this evening:
She's interviewed about being a [sic] "openly gay lesbian" Hmm
Her 1993 Vanity Fair cover "blurred the lines of gender", but she comments that "society in general is threatened by masculine women" and "female masculinity is a bit daunting for people" (in response to a q about how male androgyny is more accepted); and how "society can't deal with strong women...but it's the end of the patriarchy".

Then there was also a doc about Facebook on BBC2 last night.
The one thing that really pricked my ears up was when their content team made a comment about hate speech based on the protected characteristic of sexual orientation (in a section about visual hate, where only emojis were used, and agreed this was hate speech and would be removed). So they do know full well what PCs are; yet seem decidedly anti- the "sex" one, in strong and devoted favour of the invented "gender identity" one?

I love her!

I'm going to see her perform live in a couple of weeks.
Can't wait. 😊

Sorry...as you were, Buzz!

Saw her donkeys years ago. Hope she’s kept her head.
