Who the fuck would a) vote for that and b) marry that?

BellissimoGecko · 19/05/2025 21:06

He a fucking disaster. Whatever’s going on, he’s weak, a liar, pathetic, morally unsound, and totally unsuitable to hold public office.

BellissimoGecko · 19/05/2025 21:07

And what sort of idiot says he’s trans but that his pronouns remain he and his?? Bonkers.

GailBlancheViola · 19/05/2025 21:08

The cynic in me says the only reason the BBC have had a change of tone and language regarding this is because the person was a Tory MP.

Remember that Stonewall umbrella.

I think I read on here somewhere that Stonewall pushed cross dressers out into the rain, and I can't find the term on their list. Presumably it might be handy to have a way to refer to those men they consider not to be really trans because they've been arrested.

See, I don’t think he’s intentionally trans in any way at all. I think he was busily enjoying cross dressing, got caught out in public, and is doing the trans thing to give himself a little insulation from scandal. Because being trans is stunning and brave, whereas common or garden cross dressing is an embarrassing hobby for a married MP.

He was also meeting random men for casual sex.

PachacutisBadAuntie · 19/05/2025 21:29

Sorry @RedToothBrush just realised that change in terminology may have been what you were referring to. Tired.

Did he ever reveal his transgender status to these unsuspecting men?

I hope his ex wife has good support around her. It sounds like he's put her through absolute hell and will continue to with this trial.

The judge in his previous trial lambasted him for spinning nonsense in his defense and said he wasn't a credible witness at all. From his performance at this latest hearing it sounds like he will be repeating the same behaviour.

He's looking rough. What are all those marks on his arms, has he been shooting up?

He ain't ever going to pass is all I'm saying.

Good. It’s easier to see him coming

Wallis was wearing a black leather mini-skirt and heels when he left the scene of the crash

Blimey what a tale of events.

and

‘The Conservative MP, who was elected in 2019, became the first MP to come out as transgender in March. He identifies as he/him.’

😳

I was going to comment about potential causes but thought better and will stick with a very hard paperound🤣

Clearly substances.

Thanks @Chersfrozenface I should have guessed Sex Matters would have covered it!

SidewaysOtter · 20/05/2025 10:49

He does not seem a well man.

From the Wales Online article, there's reference that he saw his ex-wife as his "only emotional support". Yet another example of women being seen as merely support humans to men Hmm

deadpan · 15/07/2025 11:19

Reading Jamie/Katie's Wikipedia page is an example of how crazy all of this is. The photo is the official HOC Jamie Wallis photo, in his suit with short dark hair. Yet we are supposed to believe 3 years later he's now a woman and he should be able to use the ladies?!
