Spotted on the Guardian today:

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/nov/28/sugababes-sophie-ellis-bextor-wolf-alice-and-more-to-play-all-star-charity-concert-for-trans-rights

Raising money for the kimono-clad fox-killer's "Good" Law Project.

Definitely one to avoid!

Sugababes, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Wolf Alice and more to play all-star charity concert for trans rights

Organised by Olly Alexander and the Mighty Hoopla festival to ‘fight back against the politics of fear and exclusion’, Trans Mission will take place at Wembley Arena in March

I imagine ideal target audience is people like our DC (late teens, early 20s, def not “mainstream” types, some uni educated etc). Sadly for the grifters, my DCs are all gender critical and wouldn’t go to this even if it were free. The tide is definitely turning, anecdata I know but also amongst their friends. The toilets are a big issue for them.

PS I love Wolf Alice too and one of my DCs has also just seen CMAT (I managed to embarrass both of us by accidentally referring to her as MCAT )

I can't quite see that dd and her mates would spend money on seeing the Sugababes or SEB. They went to see English Teacher in Glasgow last autumn, now CMAT, it feels like the audience would be a bit older than them (last year uni).
I didn't know how to pronounce CMAT luckily we mostly talk on chat unless we see each other in person so I didn't have to. I know now though :)

Especially at a gig. Can you imagine!

I'd quite like to be a fly on the wall. Everyone conscious that ally-ship depends on not making the mixed toilet's a bad experience, but men who've been necking water/beer and are desperate for a pee...

Thingy from Christine and the Queens was calling himself Redcar for a while, and went from they/ them to he /him within the space of about 18 months. Are he back to she / her? I feel like pronouns should be announced in a Times Court Circular.

I'm assuming newly Sapiosexual Jameela Jamil is signed up out of queer solidarity

Redcar??

They’ve clearly never been. That’s like calling yourself Withernsea.

ArabellaSaurus · 07/03/2026 15:46

Ah, I think I've stumbled on the reason its perhaps gone a bit flat.

You'll never guess...

According to this chap and his pals, its pink washing, and big stadium shows are inaccessible to the community, but mainly ...

Not centring enough named trans identifying men.

😂

Those poor women doing their hardest to position themselves as allies.

Its never enough, you know.

'Bricks thrown'! I thought they just wanted to pee.

SternJoyousBeev2 · 07/03/2026 15:51

He ain’t a ‘doll’ 🙄😂😂😂

But you are correct. There is no limit to their demands. No matter how many handmaidens prostrate themselves it will never be enough.

lcakethereforeIam · 07/03/2026 15:52

Also 'dolls'? Men who think they pass. Then 'bricks'. Men who don't pass. He's, probably inadvertently, thrown a bunch of transwomen under the bus. Is that irony?

Self identifying as a woman is no longer enough - the more deluded men these days seem to need to identify as especially super definitely passing-as-women men.

CassOle · 07/03/2026 16:05

He looks like a lost member of 'Journey' circa 1978.

Can I stop believing if I never believed in the first place?

Tries to be a 'doll', looks like a 1970s musician. #SadTimes again.

I had this in mind for anyone who wants to have a look...

I just looked up all the major performing artists on Instagram. None of them are promoting it. Even people like Bimini, not just the big ones.

I reckon they'll say their bus was cancelled due to rain, or something.

Just had a quick look on Twitter/X. Adam Lambert and Wolf Alice are both active on Twitter/X, neither are promoting Transmission Live at all, in amongst other concerts of theirs they are promoting.

Sad times.

Love the air keyboard in this one

Although they'd all, mostly, gone mullet.

Uncanny. Similar voice, too.

Dolls? Is that because they are plastic?

If you look on Reddit loads of them think they pass. They all share selfies with trout pout mouths and the comments are full of , ‘you slay, queen’. And so the delusions deepen. And they will post a photo of themselves, looking like. Bloke and they are genuinely upset when someone correctly genders them. Because all of their on line mates have lied to them. It’s actually quite sad.

ArabellaSaurus · 07/03/2026 16:36

Cabbage patch, maybe.

CassOle · 07/03/2026 16:49

The genuinely sad thing is that if we currently had the male fashions of the 1970's (and the 80's New Romantics), a lot of these men could embrace their 'feminine side' with long hair, floaty blouses, make-up, etc. and rock an attractive androgynous look (IMO). The whole stupid Barbie-Action Man gender spectrum bollocks has actually restricted people.

THIS

If you look at the pictures of Blitz nightclub in its heyday
or the glam rockers like the Sweet
or even the iconic Rob Halford

we have lost so much true diversity

He’s a “doll”? I thought they were meant to look just like women…

Have they actually ever said they are attending - or is it one of those concerts where they try to sell the tickets first and then try to book people?

The thing is, he's actually right . It is a tick box excercise for straight celebs to prove their woke credentials on the 'Right Side of History'TM

This leads to the following conclusion: there’s nothing these people - straight celebs, “allies”, hand maiden supporters - can do.

They can’t change the law.

They can’t convince the majority of the public humans can change sex.

They can’t keep their fingers in the dyke - figuratively, of course - any longer. They have been holding it back, pulling the wool over people’s eyes for years. What can they actually achieve?

Get a change of law through parliament to say the definition of woman includes men?

Convince people children should continue to be sterilised?

What does “show support” actually mean? When trans Reddit complains it’s a tick box exercise, what do they actually want? Or think they’re going to get? They can’t answer.
