Can't see this posted elsewhere so apologies if I've missed it - got a great laugh from this twitter thread this morning...
(I'm a long time lurker on this board, rarely post but have learned a lot from the very knowledgeable women on here so many thanks.)

Cis Billy Bragg lol, I much prefer Trans Billy Bragg

LizzieSiddal · 23/04/2023 14:43

Oh my that’s made my Sunday. 😂

LizzieSiddal · 23/04/2023 14:44

Yes I prefer Trans Billy. I hope he will be as accepting and accommodating as he expects women to be.

CrossPurposes · 23/04/2023 16:20

That was wonderful.

Dammit, it's been deleted

SealHouse · 23/04/2023 18:55

Pity, the replies were great. I'm not very twitter literate so not sure who deleted it - Jolyon Maugham's original tweet and Serena's reply is still there. The tweet by Frank Booth (the bloke who tried to take issue with Serena's twitter handle) seems to be gone so maybe he deleted it along with all the replies to him.

For those of us who know nothing of the background, can somebody explain?

A GC woman called Serena has adopted the Twitter name of Billy Bragg, says she's 'trans' Billy as opposed to 'cis' Billy, and uses it to point out the absurdities of gender theory?

ControversialOpening · 23/04/2023 22:50

Hahaha, thanks

We followed one another on twitter. She funded Gingerbread, the Charity for single mothers I was on the Board of. And from time to time she asked me for help.

As I was reading that, for the umpteenth time, lol, i could hear Nino Rota's Love Theme from Romeo Juliet playing in the background. :-D With smallest violin & other instruments, ever!

It sounds as if he's going to launch off into a story about unrequited love, only to suffer rejection because she can tell the difference between fact and fantasy and she likes foxes and well... least said but never mended!

A whole raft of us on Twitter have been calling ourselves Billy Bragg, ever since he lectured women about being offended by being called cis. So we're all trans- Billies and he's cis-Billy. I think Serena was the one who started it to make the point very cleverly - especially delicious now she's been given a blue tick 😆

Fabulous! Thanks for the explanation.

Billy Bragg, as its name suggests, has always been about self-promotion, and nothing else.

Its chosen format was the "go-to leftie who can't sing but does all the woke" and to keep all that on track, ideologically, it follows an efficient bot approach.

"Who gets cancelled, who gets questioned, who gets a free pass?"

Its bots returned the pro-trans path which fortunately chimed in with its natural hatred of women.

The rest is 'itstory :-)
