"All star charity concert for trans rights"

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

Definitely one to avoid!

Perhaps the organisers should be encouraged to showcase no-one but trans performers. Not even allies permitted.

I'm sure the punters would flock in.

And definitely free tickets for trans folx.

Filthy lucre, pah, who needs it when you've got purity.

Not sure Jolyon would agree, mind.

Wait till you hear Polanski's economics theories that debt isn't real

Also a consensus that this charity concert is a pure reflection of the dire situation trans people are in.

'I see this event as both a good and bad thing. It's wonderful in and of itself, to see that kind of level of support for us from cis people, and for the first time really, significant support from high profile cis people. On the other hand, it shows just how dire a situation that we're currently in in this country at the moment, that anyone thought a charity concert for us was actually necessary.

Ignorant cis people (and even a tiny minority of trans people) have dismissed our increased fears and anxiety over our current plight as hyperbole. But when you think of the groups of people charity concerts have traditionally been held for in the past, it really does highlight exactly how horrific things have got for the vast majority of trans people in recent years. And it is a great thing to see that finally acknowledged on a wider scale by cis people.'

It's not for bloody charity! It's actually shitty how much the Fox Botherer exploits these people.

Sorry above meant to quote re Reddit

If it's not a charity does that mean he gets to keep the excess revenue that might come in?

Just to clarify @Swamphag it wasn't me who reported your post. I thought you were saying it tongue in cheek!

Ooh I was deleted
For clarity, I was being sarky in case I upset someone 😭

Lets hope is does not go the way of Manchester Pride.

That post is very revealing of the complete lack of self awareness of these people. “Well, it’s often dismissed as hyperbole by people that we are facing oppression, but this not at all hyperbolic or ridiculous charity concert just like more worthy causes have proves that it isn’t hyperbole. Checkmate terfs”

Let me guess, mentioning debt is a “dog whistle”?

A lot of the media stories use the phrase "the event aims to raise funds for the Good Law Project and Not A Phase, a trans-led charity".

I presume that's what was in a media release.

I can't find any more details on the proceeds (if any) from the concert.

Don’t performers in charity events often get no fee but expenses? 🕳️ 💰

I won't despoil the thread here but there's more on

Is it OK if I bring shampoo, conditioner and a mask?

I’d say let’s start a book on how long it takes for this event to be cancelled due to purity spiralling but I’m concerned that by the time we type out all the dates between now and March 11th it’ll already be over and we won’t even have time for Mumsnetters to place their bets.

(I bet it’s cancelled quicker than Zarah Sultana can boycott her own conference!)

Does Polanski think debt is a western oppressive construct, that currency is a construct, something like that?

Anyway, I genuinely think that the organisers’ perceived or real association with KKR (on the pro-Gaza BDS avoid list) is going to scupper it all, as pp have said. Very embarrassing for Dani Tuckpants and the other patron-performers.

So who fucked up on their due diligence? Who didn’t manage their prep properly? I doubt we middle-aged shrews and vipers would have dropped a clanger like that. We do all the required tedious, repetitive and necessary background shitwork while running multiple other life projects and earning a living. It makes us good at stuff.

Rending of skirts that go spinny 😭

Presumably it would be enough to identify as trans.
And how funny it would be if every single attendee did so.

And we’re gonna need refreshments 🍸

People are who they say they are, so....

On the other hand, it shows just how dire a situation that we're currently in in this country at the moment, that anyone thought a charity concert for us was actually necessary.

Not exactly Live Aid, is it?

Some very good responses to that tweet. (He really is on X still! I thought all the pure of thought on the left had gone over to bluesky.)

Wokeandwoofing is a glorious account
only Dame Katy comes close

Epic.
