about Lucy Meadows

This is worrying. You wonder if it is a trend - like the backlash against the poor, against the disabled, now against transsexuals  My own confidence in being Lizzie is extremely fragile so I can empathise entirely. Once you've decided the only way to be happy is to transition, change gender, live outside your assigned gender norms, and then you are hounded to the point where even transitioning can't make you happy, on a national level, which affects your job, your relationships, your family, your private life to the very core, then suicide can easily seem the only way out.

Littlejohn has a history of being a complete bastard. Contrary to the facts, history, all the laws of decency, he persists in taking people the right doesn't like and bullies them to the point where life becomes unbearable.

What makes this one different is that some feminists have waded in to support the bigots. WTF!!

Women fought for decades (centuries?) for the right to dress as they please and live as they please, and still do. Now those options might not be there for everyone. And they might not always be easy options. But they are there, and I'm pleased to say women are taking those options in their hundreds of thousands, without being called lesbians, unnatural or perverts or any other disgusting or inappropriate name. So why deny men the same rights? Men want to dress as they please, present in the gender they feel they are, and take advantage of the full spectrum of human existence - or just the part they happiest with.

Why the FUCK not? It is actually a matter of life and death round here. While a woman can put on men's clothes and go to the most bigoted pub in Welling, and join in with the lads talking about cars and football, or some such, how far do you think a man in a dress is going to get round here? Riducled at the very least, and certainly not treated as an equal to either gender!

We have enough fucking problems with Littlejohn and his army of little bigots who read his every word without the fucking feminists lining up to put the fucking boot in too!!!!

Are the cis supremacists winning?

A blog by "Another Angry Woman"

Last week, an awful New Statesman column was published which featured a cis woman whining about being called cis. Me and Cel West wrote a takedown of it.

Yesterday, over 200 people mourned Lucy Meadows, standing in the cold with candles, outside the Daily Mail offices. Over 100,000 people have signed a petition calling for Richard Littlejohn to be fired for his tirade of hate. A part of me wondered–as it did in January when Julie Burchill and Suzanne Moore went on transphobic diatribes to mass outrage–that perhaps the tide was beginning to turn. That maybe, just maybe, we were overcoming the seething cissexism of society.


Some background in case this passed you by
