Spotted on the Guardian today:

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

This is a lovely moment JoMo dancing

Oh, please no - that image. Those moves!

I've been to works parties like that in the olden days - the worst kind of pervy middle manager who greases up to the young girls.

Amusing myself by randomly hitting pause & screenshotting the result 😁

I can feel the waves of cringe coming off of the taller of the two younger people behind Jolly. Probably having flashbacks to the weird geography teacher who enthusiastically chaperoned school discos.

It would be sneaky and cruel to video someone dancing that embarrassingly and post it on the internet.
'It's Maugham on the dancefloor/I think he just killed the groove'

He posted it himself?Confused

truthsayers · 12/03/2026 09:16

why were maya and julie bindel there? They’ve both posted photos from the concert but not written anything about why they attended etc

lcakethereforeIam · 12/03/2026 09:50

Wtf did Lambert have on his feet? Was he worried about blowing over? Did he really sing Ghost Town? Was it the one by the Specials? In view of the low attendance that could be seen as a little on the nose.

Yes Wolf Alice were there, along with Adam Lambert who someone upthread was asking about. Didn’t Maya tell you that on X on was she too busy chatting absolute sh*t? Very odd behaviour paying to attend a benefit gig purely to write scurrilous nastiness ..pretty sure I wouldn’t pay a penny to sit through a gender critical alternative ..but I guess obsessional hatred takes you places.

The audience was largely cis women & gay men with a small proportion of trans folk (none of whom were waving their penises around in the shared loos threatening to rape people, strange that eh?). Good representation by NION women, those of us completely fed up by feminism being hijacked by bigotry & our names being used (which you are as much as your own) to propagate agendas that have absolutely nothing to do with our own beliefs.

Wembley was 3/4’s full - a bit over ambitious of the organisers to select it but then I can’t imagine a Sex Matters benefit gig filling more than a village hall given they’d be unlikely to get any artists keen to perform at it. Although I imagine you might get a few politicians, some of the Reform lot or perhaps Parker Posey’s mate Tommy Robinson back from an overseas grift. What delightful people the GC cause attracts.

As for last night, there were speeches of hope and inclusion and positivity as well as those of loss from a mother who had lost her daughter needlessly and tragically. A good night all in. And as for reading any replies to this, I’ll be washing my hair.

Wait, no, its Zack continuing the ritual apologies.

Sorry. Lost my glasses.

Did JoMo and Zack coordinate their pastel suits in advance?

Just need someone to appear in a light brown outfit to get the full Neapolitan ice cream effect.

Far be it from me to channel a TRA, but that is an extraordinarily 'white' event.

ArabellaSaurus · 12/03/2026 10:06

Well, I think its been great. Thanks to TransMission for giving us all a great giggle. Really, looks like a good few people had fun and nobody got hurt. Same time next week?

Some kind of Randall & Hopkirk vibe? (One for the kids there)

SadSadTimes · 12/03/2026 10:17

Goodness I was busy drying my hair (obvs) and missed it all.
Was imagining Skirt Go Spinny and the Stiffies with a stunning playlist.

However people enjoyed themselves, there were no protests (shocking) and women "on the other side" even paid to attend... so what's all that about "both sides"?

Lindsay Watson aka Alex Horwood, last seen being bundled into the back of a police van in handcuffs.
JoMo's bluesky account is a far cry from his Twitter heyday of 10 years ago, it's mostly animes & their parents now

The audience was largely cis women

I'm always taken aback by statements like this. Trans people tell us over and over that you can't tell someone's gender (or sex) by looking and yet clearly this person either thinks they know better or that it's not true.

So I've learned that it is actually ok to claim you know what someone's gender and sex are. Or that that poster is a fake ally who dismisses what trans people say.

Maybe TIM have started to tone down the big hair/ big tits/ over contoured make up/ tight clothes/ or 1950s housewife attire images , looked around, done the research into being a proper woman, seen how women dress and followed suit.

Very sneaky, how will we ever know who they are if TIM are blending in so perfectly, next thing they will all be doing the school run wearing primark trackies and sliders and we will have to accept defeat …..

I've worked out who he reminds me of, particularly in that picture. Voldemort.

As for JoMo - was it dancing? Had anyone made sure he wasn't just standing on a live cable?

I think that's one of Lynsey Watson's accounts. It's all gone a bit quiet after he got his collar felt by the rozzers - what happened with that?

Parker Posey’s mate Tommy Robinson

She was good in The White Lotus. Shame she’s associating with these people #sadtimes

Dancing like an orangutan with a nappy full of porridge.

I thought Watson had been thrown off BlueSky?
