Alison Moyet is taking no nonsense!

The wonderful singer Alison Moyet has dipped a toe in controversial waters regarding all the different sexualities and identities being bandied around.

This was her tweet earlier today:

New speak really can be a right old dose of bollocks. Graysexual? Demisexual? Jesus. Some people badly need to get a paper round or a sudoku habit.

Good for her to reject this craziness. Lots of people on Twitter/X are agreeing with her, but others are not very happy. Hope she stands her ground!

Damn! Wish you could edit when using the app on your phone.

Loved her in the 80s.

She’s a legend, but bites her tongue more often than not these days because she can’t be doing with the abuse. She’s also been busy completing a degree in fine art too. Love her.

Oh I love this anecdote about the origins of ‘Alf’! What a formidable character she was and still is.

Alison slways was her own woman, and not afraid to be herself as a singer. This House is an incredible song.
Her no-nonsense stance on twitter is so refreshing and I agree with her. A young non-binary person I know also has a nigh-on incomprehensible sexuality, something to do with not being able to have sex without being in love... How is that so unusual as to need it's own term?!

Edited

An incredible and distinctive voice, love her. Thanks for the link.

I have no idea why people feel the need to put every aspect of their sexuality into a little description box. Not being able to have sex without being in love - big deal. That’s not unusual!

I wonder how much of it stems from role-playing video games, where you get to choose, craft and refine your character in minute detail. People’s lives seem to be increasingly like an RPG game.

Greysexuals are probably into wizards!

What on earth is 'Graysexual' I'm guessing it's not a heritage paint colour by Farrow & Ball.

They have a painting in the attic?

But Alison isn't under 30, she's a God damned Karen, WTF does she know?!

What does that mean exactly?

Loved her as a singer on the 80s; love her as a woman who takes no shit now.

@JoolzDenby is also fantastic on Twitter/X.

Oh yes, Joolz is very vocal on Twitter/X about gender ideology and is always raising awareness about male violence against women and girls. I read her memoirs online, a fascinating insight:

Great news. I have always been a huge fan of Alison and I love her even more now.
Let's see who tries to cancel her 😉

Isn't she mates with Dawn French?

Yes I believe she is. Wonder what Dawn and Jennifer make of everything?
