On Piers Morgan Uncensored, Joan Collins was asked what a woman is and she said she can’t answer that question, she doesn’t want to get cancelled by the trans community.
Ouch. When you’ve cowed one of the most famous, beloved women in the world into silence, is it time to fess up that gender ideology does actually oppress women and compromise their ability to talk about their own bodies?

They silenced Joan Collins

Because, as we heard in the tribunal yesterday, everybody is petrified of being called 'transphobic'.

I'm so tired of this.
How much longer can it go on?
I know precise nobody in real life who agrees with TRA dogma, so why does it have such a grip?

I’d never really had her pegged as a feminist icon until she got together with Percy. Asked by some interviewer or other
‘But Joan, what about the age gap?’ she replied with a shrug
‘If he dies, he dies’.
Total Legend.

But surely she gave her answer by saying that if she spoke accurately, she'd be cancelled. Joan Collins is a wise old fox ❤

It's like Mcarthyism all over again.
"Transphobe!" is the new "Communist!"

She doesn't want to take it on. How old is she, late 70s or more? I can't really blame her.

Doesn't that imply that what she actually thinks would get her cancelled so she's just not saying it? Sad she gives a fuck but seems to me she knows what a woman is

She also went on to answer the question, "What is a woman?" by saying, "me" and pointing to (presumably) people off camera. Then she said, "There are lots of us."
