Sadly, not a Monty Python sketch.

Matt Rattley, a large bearded bloke who wears giant fake breasts, appears to be happily working at Oxford Uni.

I was really hoping this wasn't true but there is even a youtube video with him talking while wearing the giant breasts and red lipstick, applied to a degree any circus clown would be accused of overdoing it. The video includes a slide stating he works as a lecturer and tutor in the Biochemistry Dept at Oxford. He's also on LinkedIn.

I mean, how obvious can it be that this is a sexual fetish which he is involving unconsenting students and staff in???

Dr P on X has been (correctly) very robust on this case:

""This is Matt Rattley saying, "I can do whatever I please and nobody can stop me".

This is highly antisocial, abnormal, boundary-violating, paraphilic behaviour.

And we should not be afraid to say so."

Very wise, sadly. That's the thing about this, isn't it? It has been incredibly and depressingly revealing of the attitudes of certain people in our lives and their weaknesses. Along with the failures of many of our biggest and most trusted institutions.

I've become wary of far more people now than I ever used to be, as it's been quite the shock to find out who is who and what they're prepared to tolerate happening to others. Including us. And including expressions of violence, ostracism, bullying, group houndings. Far more people are easily led and lacking in critical thinking skills than I had previously realised. Plus the misogyny levels have been off the scale. That any woman can pander to it at all is beyond me, and it's been an unpleasant shock to discover that some of the biggest TRA zealots I've come across are women. Class has also been revealed as a huge factor.

Thanks for replying.

I can really understand how it must be for you knowing the people (men?) who are saying these things. Must make you look at them in a different way.

Stunning????????????

Brave???????????????

Talk about warped values.

@hihelenhi @IwantToRetire - I knew what this thread would be about just from the title!

Meanwhile in the biology department at Oxford, this person is being investigated because he quietly resisted the permanent trans ideology display boards in his department. Fake tits, hunky dory, biological reality not so much.

Nope. Pretty sure I said the decision makers.

But breasts are not part of a costume or style. By all means this guy can wear clown clothes if he wants to make a statement, but big fake breasts, especially in a society where a woman with large breasts wearing those same outfits would probably get pulled up by HR, is 100% either a fetish or a statement on his own misogyny. Biology isn't fashion

I see the issue is not with transwomen but with men who enjoy overstepping boundaries around sexuality and gender in ways that are sneaky and take advantage of woke ‚do-gooders (really hate that insult).

Transwomen are the issue because (unless someone is proudly displaying their fetish for everyone else see e.g. big fake boobs with cleavage on show) it takes a bit of digging to know which ones are the "enjoy overstepping boundaries" type and which aren't. Unsurprisingly, many of those that are that type enjoy convincing people that they aren't.

It doesn't seem to be a "trans" position but more as other have suggested some sort of fetish behaviour which the public backing of the trans agenda means establishments, employers feel they cant challenge.

It's not 'trans' it's Queer Theory, 'trans' is just a small part of a whole load of cobblers. Gender Identity politics is all based on Queer Theory, it's what Judith Butler vomited up, and she regurgitated Michel Foucault's post-modernism.

How is it that men are never expected to"be nice"or "be kind"? Fck kind i say. And Bllocks to being nice.

I should imagine this man was inspired by the teacher in Canada.

This teacher managed to teach for, I believe, an entire term before the school did anything about it. Some of his pupils were obviously quite traumatised by being provided by the school to give him an erection.

Perhaps now you can see what women are talking about. And maybe ask yourself where all the transvestites have gone.

edited to ad, sorry Catiette, that wasn't in response to you. I appended your post by mistake.

This is it.

It was queer theory back in the 80s that got Women's Studies closed down in Universities in favour of Gender Studies.

And not only where women's sex based rights under attack for being the norm, queer theory imported fetish dress and exhibitionism into "gay politics".

The original gay pride marches were in fact very much about "ordinary" people, ie men in suits, people in police or army uniform, women in nurses uniform etc., because the whole point was to say people who are same sex attracted are just that. People who are just normal everyday people who happen to be same sex attractive.

None of the current public presentation of LGBTQI+ etc., forusing on exhitionism.

Or the very reactionary trans agenda that if you are male and have what are considered to be "feminine" interests that you must be a woman. Rather than the original gender benders who were all about acknowledging their sex and saying that they like or dressed or had the interests that conformist society said "belonged" to the opposite sex.

If anything the "logic" of the trans agenda is conformity.

Is this man in fact anti trans?

I don’t think black or brown students would be expected to put up with a white teacher blacking up their face. I think it is disgusting that female students are being forced to put up with being exposed to this man’s grotesque, overtly sexualised, caricature of a women’s body.

Dr. Dr. P: "No men. No exceptions".

Here's a tweet I wrote a few months ago.

I had forgotten about my concept of 'Employer-Initiated Coercive Control' (EICC).

EICC describes exactly what UniofOxford is doing, in allowing Mr Matt Rattley to attend work dressed in this entirely inappropriate manner.

Tuition fees are exorbitant. I can only I shine the anger and disappointment I would feel if I paid those fees to go to uni and then was required to work with this level of bullshit.

It's not really a caricature of a woman's body though is it, is just a bloke w fake tits. I find it impossible to feel that he reflects anything about womanhood in any way so I genuinely can't get offended. Not saying that to be cool or edgy, he's just so far away from anything Id recognise as a woman that it has no bearing on my identity at all.

'Employer-Initiated Coercive Control' (EICC).

That's spot on. It's precisely what's happening in the NHS, universities and workplaces. These toxic people have been able remove women's rights to privacy, safety and dignity and use the workplace & workplace policies to impose their own disordered thinking / their sexual fetishes and bullying behaviour on others -women and men.

Tanya de Grunwald from the This Isn't Working podcast has shared a video on X of Matt explaining how he suffers from imposter syndrome. Just not for the blindingly obvious reason.

He is certainly very clear about what he thinks is the important thing about women.

Some of his outfits are quite tasteful- lovely broad shoulders, wide scooped neckline. Others are not- the deep V neck showing cleavage.

Tasteful or not, this man isn’t a woman and he isn’t dressed as a woman.
He’s just wearing exhibitionist comedy boobs to work. That shouldn’t be receiving support from management. Hen night, stag night, panto, fancy dress costumes aren’t suitable for work.

I can only find two publications under his name and not one as first author. How do you become a lecturer at Oxford with that publication record?

All I can see is that he is a ‘non-stipendiary lecturer’ at college level. As I understand that refers to an unpaid position tutoring small groups. Often done by early career staff as a way to gain experience.

This is, in itself, interesting - means not employed by the uni in this context (though assume is either PhD student or postdoc) but will be teaching small groups in isolation. Could be an excellent teacher, but suspect this attire might make some feel uncomfortable

Yes, let's not forget Wayne Couzens had the nickname 'the rapist' at work and allegedly made very many women feel uncomfortable.

As we know, these behaviours tend to escalate if allowed to proceed unchecked.

It's not about purloining someone's identity.

No woman actually feels that this man looks anything like a woman. And given the beard, even he's not trying to look like a woman, either.

In the same way that a man wearing a nappy wouldn't be perceived as actually trying to look like a baby.

It's the wearing of fetish gear in public, for all the reasons that men enjoy doing it.

To shock, to humiliate, to dominate, to make people, particularly women, feel uncomfortable. It's all oh so arousing.

And in this particular case knowing that the ideology has backed the authorities into such a corner that he can walk around smirking about it and they're powerless to stop him.

These spineless tossers, know full well what's going on, and they haven't the guts to stop it.

I was inspired by @Lady1576 use of the word "discourse" (and an overnight conversation with one of the recovering Foucault-addled gerbils off-duty at the Bluestocking) to suggest that if a female academic did wear a large shiny knitted willy to work then she could tell her Faculty BoS that she was problematizing the academy's engagement with the signifiers of sexual characteristics to queer gender stereotypes, with her best best "and surely no reasonable academic could have an issue with that?" quizzical smile. (You might want to put it through ChatGPT as social studies is not my first language.)

Or she could just go old-school with "this is Oxford, we're supposed to be eccentric". It's a well-used excuse and clearly it's still a good'un.
