He's a grumpy old man essentially but made some telling jokes about gender identity for newer generatiosn. Have a potted history of feminism with the conclusion gen z might do all the good with with a fixation on trans rights. Some giggle moments with sex allocation at both not being too hard 'boy sick girl fanny'.

He could have gone a bit further but maybe doesn't need the grief. Nice to see a bit of mockery of the teams movement in a non aggressive way using a bit of mockery. Pity the guys old really like the audience but fun.

I am afraid your style of writing is extremely hard to understand.

Thank you. I couldn't understand the OP either.

So disappointed that you are mocking the Op for spelling and grammar. The meaning was perfectly clear!

It really wasn't!

When Elton was MC on the dreadful C4 show that featured the even more dreadful Jordan Grey (was that his name? The bloke who smeared his penis on the keyboard, anyway), he told us his pronouns. Which turned me right off him.

Should I give him another chance?

The Saturday Night Live one off? That was entirely in keeping with the spirit of the original programme, and iirc the link that Elton did afterwards was quite funny and took the piss out of Grey.

Elton made it very clear that he is anti cancellation from any side, he’s still a leftie in the manner of Kinnock and regards himself as a second wave feminist who thinks gender roles are bollocks. He made a very interesting observation that people get so bogged down in intersectionality and tribalism that it makes The Struggle seem unwinnable, and it allows a genuinely racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynist to get elected as president of the USA.
