Kate Nash article in the Guardian

Looking over the article this stood out

“Germ”, Nash is aware, is another insult now added into the mix.

Judging from the initial catchy-ness of Kate's new slur, I guess that they mean this in a sort of homeopathic sense.

All that will remain in 'the mix' will be a sort of undetectable faint memory of her insult

Hahaha 🎯

Well half of the people who identify as trans are non binary. So that leaves 0.25% committing 9% of rapes. Except of course, half of that 0.25% is transman, i.e. women, so that takes us down to 0.13% being able to commit rape.

So Kate is saying that 0.13% of the population is committing 9% of rapes? They sound extremely dangerous.

Thanks for the sunlight Kate, important to get these facts out in the open.

Edited as I forgot to say I don't know how many 'non binary ' people are male, so if it's half that would take the 'pool' of trans IDing rapists back up to 0.25%. Still a tiny number to commit 9% of rapes though, isn't it?

Does anybody know the source of her stat? Presumably it defines the other 9%?
I'm right to think a rapist must be in possession of a penis? Excluding cases of 'joint enterprise'.

Ok I found the stats on Rape Crises, they're from 2017, the song makes it sound like they're from 23/24.

Of the missing 9%, most are just males aged under 18
No data giving gender identity, just male or female and age categories. No information if transwomen were being recorded as male or female in 2017.

So she has used a statistic that has no bearing on the conversation. And as a PP pointed out actually appears to say 9% of sexual offenses are carried out by trans people, who she also points out are only 0.5% of the population.

Idiot.

How did we get to these figures?

As Table 2 in this ONS dataset of compiled Ministry of Justice appendix tables shows, in the year
ending December 2017:
• 11,311 people were prosecuted for sexual offences in total.
• 10,317 of these were men aged 18 and over (826 were aged 18-20; 1,100 were aged 21- 24; 8,391 were aged 25+).
• 657 were young men and boys aged 12-17."

Billy Bragg? She was at nil points for that stupid song, but palling about with him has just taken her sub zero in my estimations. Absolute raging misogynist, and mansplaining fucker of a bloke.

What, this Billy Bragg?

Surprised but pleased to say that Nash's ridiculous pile o'shite has achieved something.

At a meet-up last night, a mate made a point of saying, apropos of nothing, how bloody awful i the song was and how it made her feel old not to understand these issues.

And I said not old, sensible. It's a load of bollocks and Nash is just a wokey idiot.

And so, hey presto, two terven find each other.

Thanks Kate!

Laying into music bosses next - and Denise Welch, who was at the festival supporting her son Matty Healy's band The 1975 - Kate continued: "The music industry doesn't know what to do with me. They tried to get rid of me, but they didn't. There is a record executive sweating their t* off with Matt Healy's mum.

"They're scared of me. I like that. But I was made of mother f Bricks. But they didn’t believe me. I even gave them a second warning a few years later when I told them 'Do not underestimate the girl'. Is it my fault they didn’t believe me?

"I’m not going to give my third warning. It’s too late for that. I’m taking my bricks and I’m throwing them through the f window.”

There is the usual stuff about JKR but could not help laughing at the idea of Denise Welch being out to get her

aww bless Kate

trying too be all edgy and cool and coming over as a silly twerp

but it was funny 😂

Why does she think anyone's scared of her? No one scared of you Kate, no one remembered you existed.

... discovered her manager had stolen vast sums of money from her ...

Not familiar with the case but, from the article, the theft seems to be proven? Surely she can sue to get the money back?
Or is this opinion stated as fact?

I don't get her point?

She should come with a cringe warning. I keep cringing myself inside out every time she talks. People are scared of her?!!! Who does she think she is? Ronnie Pickering?!!!

Why are the music industry scared of her?

Rebel Without a Clue.

Sad.

Feminists who centre men in their feminism are a special kind of stupid.

If you’re made of bricks should you throw bricks? Seems self destructive

Yup. Jesus Christ, those lyrics 😳

I listened to the Adam Buxton podcast she did. It sounds like she has difficulties remaining civil with anyone. Sounded like she likes to sack people and be generally bolshy.

I have one trans woman friend who you would never ever think was born a bloke

Nonsense! I can always tell.

She’s embarrassing herself…

Absolutely agree

They remind me of women particularly in the 90's (I am sure not the only decade) who liked to state they were not feminists and can be just as bad as the boys 🙄

Again an era of men controlling the narrative and being a lad (celebration of young men being boisterous and treating women poorly) or ladette (acting just like the lads which really suited, yes you have guessed it men) was highly fashionable
