I guess that's us told then. And obviously a man with a past such as his has great authority on the dangers of men in women's spaces... 🙄

Why is it always all about trans women? What about trans men? Who are at risk from male violence. And largely ignored by celebrities so desperate to be seen as supportive as they trample over each other to say how awful women are in not welcoming trans women into female only spaces.

How many gay men are being told they are transphobic for not having sex with trans men? You know, the way lesbians are told they are transphobic for not having sex with trans women.

Its not about goddess energy, ffs. And what is goddess energy? Do boring old biological females have goddess energy?

Boy George and Marilyn are friends and have always had a tempestuous relationship with each other.

I thought that BG previously did 'get it' but I may be wrong. From that tweet it seems he's changed his tune whereas Marilyn (you legend!) thankfully hasn't.

Yet when it’s women being actively oppressed… and when women are resisting oppression in the form of enforcement of male sexual rights over women and children .. well then suddenly it is respectable and even progressive to tell women just to shut up and take whatever is coming to them.

This. It is absolutely no different from hundreds and hundreds of posts from MNetters all over these boards who have heard from a male abuser, usually someone who said they loved them, their own special version of 'don't upset me with your crying while I'm beating you'.

This political movement calls female humans, half the human race, to enter into an abusive, codependent relationship. This is the time for a massed LTB.

And this is absolutely part of the raging epidemic of male VAWG, domestic abuse against females, porn related issues and the overwhelming sexism in society right now. It is part and parcel. The one cannot be sorted without confronting and dealing with the other.

Widow Twanky though 😂😂

I imagine this like a video game...1980s pop stars, gender critical mode, FIGHT!

Nina Hagen is currently a clear winner, and has been winning for more or less her entire career

Am having a good chuckle at 'goddess energy' (cheaper than British Gas! 🤣) and also the fact that 'anyone who wants critical thinking can stick around' is in the actual same tweet!

Boy George clearly doesn't know what 'critical thinking' means. I think he thinks it means 'being critical of anyone with a different opinion to me, and not listening to what they actually have to say'.

I know the point is NOT that trans people are unsafe, rather men could claim to be women to access female spaces, no questions asked.

But.

You can never say ANY whole group is safe. Never. You will get some abusers/murderers/rapists in the trans community just like you would any other.

You cannot just say as a blanket statement that x or y group are 'safe'. Because not every individual within that group will be.

I know you can also say that of any group - so I'm not specifically using that argument as a way to retain female spaces, I just think it's ridiculous to state all trans people are safe. As long as trans people are people, they will vary just as much as any sector of the population.

Fuck sake, I've always liked Boy George as well...you never can tell can you.

Love Marilyn's response, never really been a fan until now.

SirVixofVixHall · 08/01/2022 15:18

I am baffled by the way so many gay men see heterosexual men with a fetish as one of their own.

GrimDamnFanjo · 08/01/2022 16:50

Heartening to see many sensible replies disagreeing with him.

@yourhairiswinterfire

Here's his tweets (if they attach!)

Looove Marylin! 🤣
