What is Boy George DOING?!

His Tweets are very confusing. He's now wagging a finger at Buck Angel (aka Tranpa) for saying 'these trans', asking Louis Theroux type questions about JKR and transphobia...

I am SO CONFUSED

I wouldn’t waste time waiting for coherence from Boy George. He’s not a philosopher, a thinker, a campaigner, an activist.

He’s a pop star who wore some gender non conforming outfits and has since done a range of things including becoming a convicted criminal iirc. He’s also a gay man who has no skin in this game and he’s not distinguished himself through his career with his thoughtful approach or his support for women. That’s not meant as a criticism. It’s just not who he is.

I don’t expect him to be any more coherent than Daniel Bloody Radcliffe.

looks like hes anti jkr, no?

no one ever called him the brightest spanner, did they?

Yes. This.
CodenameVillanelle · 04/07/2020 18:40

He's jumped on the trans train full steam ahead. Whatevs

Yeh, anyone who responds to women concerned about losing their rights by accusing them of not showing enough "goddess energy" has exactly zero to contribute to this discussion.

lady69 · 04/07/2020 19:10

He’s just a man who does’t get it. Plenty of them about.

RadandMad · 04/07/2020 19:15

Being a twat, by the look of it.

Passmethefrazzles · 04/07/2020 19:15

Oh well said @Binterested. Why would anyone pay any attention to him.

TowandaForever · 04/07/2020 19:16

He’s asked about these issues before.

Today’s tweets made me think attention seeking.

ValancyRedfern · 04/07/2020 19:17

He's a twat.

ValancyRedfern · 04/07/2020 19:17

He's playing the innocent so he can get lots of 'terf' replies he can then wag his finger at.

DidoLamenting · 04/07/2020 19:17

I love the tweets asking Buck Angel if he understands what it is to be trans.

MashedSpud · 04/07/2020 19:28

Didn’t he get in trouble for tying up a man and keeping him a sex prisoner?

LouHotel · 04/07/2020 19:41

@mashedspud yep.

And they question GC feminist bedfellows

AnyOldPrion · 04/07/2020 19:42

He also said quite casually in some interview that he uses women’s toilets because they’re nicer than the men’s. I might admire his clothing choices, and the fact that he is an example of a man breaking down gender-related clothing barriers, but outside of those things, he shows every sign of having a very male sense of entitlement.

DuDuDuLangaLangaBingBong · 04/07/2020 19:44

Boy George reminds me of the monkeys typing for infinity thing. Occasionally he throws out something about the sex/gender debate that makes sense but mostly it’s a bunch of gibberish. It wouldn’t even matter if he went full on TRA at this point, because he’s already been cast out of the fold.

Mollyollydolly · 04/07/2020 19:54

He just likes stirring it. I ignore him. He knows what he's doing.

PurpleCrowbarWhereIsLangCleg · 04/07/2020 20:12

Yes. I would guess he's bored &/or high & doing it for the lolz.

He's just as likely to go full GC next week just to piss off this week's 'likers'. Not to be taken seriously either way.

TehBewilderness · 04/07/2020 20:19

Public display of male dominance by d00d who puts on public displays of male dominance as a career.

Diverseduvet · 04/07/2020 20:21

Actually, I agree with him. I despair at the amount of nastiness and hostility.

Doyoumind · 04/07/2020 20:21

He knows what he's doing. He flip flops from one side to the other on this depending on who he wants attention from that day. We all know he would have no interest in a man with a vagina.

This x 100
I was amazed in the wake of Jimmy Saville the BBC decided to cast him as a judge on the voice.
Horrid man.

Jeanhatchet · 04/07/2020 20:33

George followed me yesterday so I had a go at politely answering ... let's see

teawamutu · 04/07/2020 20:34

Is "goddess energy" the wokey twat version of 'be kind'?

marvellousnightforamooncup · 04/07/2020 20:41

That's promising Jean. 🤞
