What a shame!
I liked seeing plays at the Globe.
(I don't think that the poem will last as long as any of Shakespeare's :) )

'My beauty astounds them'

right you are

this was the play that started with a 10 minute monologue about the divinity of trans people, right?

Now seems like an odd time to pick the TRA side given events of the last month or so.
not on Twitter but I might have to pop in to see the ratio on that!

I do recommend the poem. it's basically to her mother

I do get a bit tired of people talking to me when really they should just sit down and have it out with their mum

Totally misrepresents GC views as well.

The only part of that that I didn't roll my eyes at was the surname. I really fancy a curry now.

I didn't hate it. It conveys real emotion, albeit from a teenaged perspective

I find it hard to believe after everything that has gone on in the last year that they thought it ok to publish. Fine is someone wants to voice those thoughts in their own notebook but on the website and twitter feed of such an important theatre?

"Sacreligous"... Do they mean "sacrilegious"?

Brainless idiots.

Looks like Alex is enjoying using some naughty grown-up words there.

Absolutely pathetic. There's a line in there about t*rfs wanting "to pathologise every aspect of my life".

I think you'll find it's Mermaids and their ilk that want to pathologise your normal body and your unique personality into a medically-mediated lifetime of dependence FFS

How old is the writer? Encouraging children to overuse expletives is an unusual look for a theatre.

This sexist drivel is funded by the Arts Council, of course.

I don’t understand how “standing beside your transgender brothers and sisters” would make the patriarchy crumble. Might be just me though.

Also, this ‘sharing your truth’ crap winds me up.

Am enjoying the comments on Twitter though!

I know it is easy to take this lightly because it sounds like and probably is a cross teenager but it is the fact that an internationally known theatre that is funded at least indirectly, if not directly, by tax payers thinks it is ok to publish and then praise this piece when it is so angry and uses such aggressive language about people with gender critical views who are more than likely to be women and / or lesbians. And they arrogantly think they can get away with it.

Why does she think toddlers have breasts?

Newflash, you're really not....👇

Yawn, angsty teenage poetry. Still, it's a more healthy outlet than gender identity ideology, so this hobby should probably be encouraged.

I’m going to start a thread in AIBU.

Well, that was just deeply embarrassing for everyone involved.

That Twitter response was a fun read.

Great Twitter comments, great ratio, bloody ridiculous of a theatre that actually wants audiences to publish this. Why is it that every organisation has a Twitter account run by a woke 12 year old intern?

Neither of the links work for me. I don't suppose anyone did a screenshot?

… aaaaaand the pages are gone.

what’s your opinion on this? No, not that opinion!
