(just seen this on facebook)

We have some good news! We were contacted a couple of weeks ago by Mother of punk, Nina Hagen. We're now excited to announce she is now officially a patron of The Detransition Advocacy Network.
💜
Thank you Nina, we're so happy to have you on our team.

Oh, that's some brilliant news.

Well, that's very ducking cool.
In your face, Bragg.

i know the face - but can’t quite put my finger... actress?

Oh I know - for some reason I get her muddled with the woman from CSI (oops)

Awesome. Hagen isn't exactly known for trying to fit into stereotypical femininty.

Euro punk. Cosmic Shiva:

A bit of a legend, in the mould of Siouxsie.

Cosma Shiva

Good! An opinionated,strong woman. As a kid in the 80's I once saw her wreak havoc as a guest of a talk show (the really serious kind). Legendary. I have always admired her strength.

I had to google her!

Even if she only has importance for one age group, that is still great. And also shows that there are women who haven't accepted the Stonewall brainwashing.

I saw the name in the title and didn't at first realize that it's that Nina Hagen. I'm old enough to remember her stepfather Wolf Biermann's expatriation from East Germany.
Good an Nina.

Cool. Nina's officially lost punk cred and is now an actual tory

An "actual" Tory? As opposed to.....?

..a literal one?

an actual actual actual one

Which part of Ich bin ein Berliner made you think she was an English Tory

She is a stone cold legend. Masturbated on live telly in the 80s, non conforming cosmic punk. This is fab news!

She is a stone cold legend.

From back in the day, when punk was punk and rebellion was snowflake & trigger free.

The punks were all about causing offence; the new activists are all about avoiding offence or even hurt feelings. Swings and roundabouts or once were giants?

Anyone have any idea why Nina Hagen would contact Detransition Advocacy Network and offer to be Patron? @nauticant ?

Is it connected to her mistrust of medical intervention? She has some unorthodox ideas about HIV and AIDS. I can't recall whether she believes that HIV does not cause AIDS . . . or that HIV was deliberately "released" to cause an AIDS pandemic . . . or that HIV treatments are a global big-pharma conspiracy to defraud people with HIV who will get better anyway . . . or has she recanted whatever it was??

Several of her songs were pushing this back in the day and I am struggling to see how her patronage is supposed to help Detrans Advocacy Network.

Apologies if I am well out of date and am missing something very obvious here but . . . Nina Hagen?? Why??

I had a look through her FB posts moleSmokes and there is a lot about women in forced psychiatric care (Zwangspsychiatry, not sure how well that translates) and in a post from 2014 she mentions transsexuals in psychiatric care as well. Then this year March 1st she links to this article in Emma
www.emma.de/artikel/sam-nele-ellie-geboren-als-frauen-gelebt-als-maenner-heute-wieder-frauen-337551?fbclid=IwAR1g3y2Z5QTGhECLj3PoOCKXi8Ck9vYugNtOxpJzJWrYqWBLXprGoaDIB7s and also to a BBC article about Keira Bell.
She calls Alice Schwarzer the founder of Emma "meine jute alte Freundin", she's interviewed Nina in the 70s and Alice has been openly GC for years.
