Spot the difference in the responses Irvine Welsh gets to Rosie Duffield day and marvel at the force-field of protection a penis confers

And he is lasting longer than Stephen King Grin
Don't mess with him

He's talked about this before and good on him, but it's still notable how much more tentatively he goes on this issue compared to others where he writes in the sweary, abrasive way you might expect the author of Glue to write.

It's better that he is using calm, reasoned, grammatically correct language. It's far more effective than sweary rants in dialect.

I came on here specifically to see if Irvine Welsh had been spotted spouting horrifically violent transphobia all over Twitter 😄

I don’t know a huge amount about him beyond reading ‘Trainspotting’ at uni, but somehow I didn’t imagine him being on board with feelz nonsense and lady-dicks

Nice post here:

And a stunningly stupid comment from someone who identifies as Lou Reed’s guitar.

I am all for the word womxn to be used - or something similar - anything other than woman - for transwomen. Woman is already taken

although I have no idea how it should be pronounced possible transwoman

It's amazing, isn't it, that the human race always knows who a woman is when they want to control the half of the species who perform all the reproductive labour? Now women finally have some rights enshrined in law, and protections and provisions flowing from that, it's become mysteriously complex, so complex in fact that any male can opt in to such provisions and protections, and no challenge, test of equivocation permitted.

It's almost like a huge patriarchal fightback or something, isn't it?
