Olli London

[ChlorineChris]

What's going on there then?!

There used be a clothing shop called Oli London. Sort of like Asos. I hoped it would be about that.

He started out as a mega fan, using himself as an homage to Korean beauty.

He got a bit obsessive about it- not unusual with body mods. I'd say he started to get unwell round about then.

The whole 'I identify as Korean' thing was an offensive add on.

By the time he started the 'woman', I think he was messing about. Perhaps recovering from his previous mental health problems.

To be fair, we all do things for attention and money.
Having a survival instinct isn't wrong.

Damaging yourself in order to survive or come to terms with yourself, is the extreme here.

Whatever ollie london's motivations were, I would like to know :

Was he able to use women's changing rooms or loos with impunity whilst identifying as a woman?

Was he able to take a place on a woman's sports team? In a woman's hospital ward? Refuge?

And then revert to being a man?

THIS is what we bloody well mean!!! Whether he was taking the piss or not, our facilities would have been handed to him on a plate!! All we want is a process by which to prevent this shit show from happening.....

The very definition of appropriation. Cherry picking the best bits and leaving the shit and toil for those actually living the reality.

Well Ollie London just tweeted:
"Keep Womens Only Spaces for WOMEN!
I lived as a trans woman for the past 6 months before my Detransition yet despite my identity I fully respected Womens Only Spaces and would also use mens changing rooms/rest rooms.
WOMEN should always feel safe!"

Is it possible Ollie reads Mumsnet or is this a coincidence ?
😄

🖐🖐🖐 hey Olli!
