Goodness, she’s batshit
Those people are the worst.and then you get all the handmaidens commenting “akshully, Birdie uses they/them pronouns”.
SHUT UP!
I find everything about this so bizarre and it really feels like an excuse for an anti trans tirade. I don’t understand what you are achieving by purposely misgendering Birdie. It isn’t difficult to just say “they”. The might read this after all. When someone says “people who bleed”, funnily enough, women who menstruate are also included in that statement. What’s the problem with just saying “people” to be inclusive of everyone who experienced it? I’m a cisgender woman and I take zero issue with it. I don’t get it. Save the unhinged terf rants for mumsnet or whatever other platform you use because they don’t belong here.I don’t think her and Marc have separated but it’s so weird how he’s just so absent from her insta. She mentions him occasionally but the life she presents to the world is of a single woman.
I just can’t with all the trans stuff she’s promoting. I’m all for live however you want to live but I draw the line at the whole notion of ‘trans kids’. I cannot believe Busy is ok with puberty blockers etc. I’ve stopped listening to her podcast now but the last time I did listen she was talking about supporting trans kids and honestly, she sounded insane. Her voice was extra extra high and squeaky (more than usual), she sounded unsure and shaky in what she was saying, probably because she knows there has been ZERO research into the long term effects of puberty blockers and what they can do to a child’s health. She’s all ‘they’re TOTALLY REVERSIBLE’ which is untrue plus she didn’t mention that almost 100% of the kids on blockers go on to cross sex hormones ie this means giving up your fertility at a stupidly young age, not to mention all the other health problems. A lifetime of being a patient.
She loves Birdie and wants to support her which I get, but in reality Birdie presents completely as a girl, hasn’t used blockers, has crushes on boys, umm so she’s a ‘cis het girl’ (hate using cis as I reject the term but using it to make the point). The only difference with her is they/them which is just the stupidest thing ever. Although Busy did say on her podcast once or twice that B doesn’t care if someone uses she/her. Doesn’t stop sad do-gooders commenting on every comment on her Insta that refers to B as she/her. I think those people annoy Busy too. So she doesn’t actually have a ‘trans kid’ and I think if Birdie went the whole hog and said she was a boy Busy would have a very different reaction. As it is all she’s got to deal with is they/them pronouns. So her stance on the whole thing is a bit rich.
One thing I do like about Busy as @Rahrah says, is the fact she’s embracing her age and not had work done. I’m of a similar age and it’s so unheard of to see an actress my age without the botoxed, stretched face. She is authentic in herself. I just wish she’d get back to standing up for women and I also wish on her podcast her and Caissie didn’t trip over themselves to avoid saying women when they are talking about periods or whatever. Women are not ‘people who bleed’ ffs. Funnily enough they have no hesitation when it comes to men. Men are just men. Ugh.
Could probably write a lot more as I have a lot of thoughts on Busy Philipps but I have to get on with my day![]()
I don’t understand, if the podcast hosts knew how did her own daughter not know?Sorry if already discussed as new to the thread, but I quite liked Busy from her roles in Freaks and Geeks and Cougar Town. I listen to a podcast called Celebrity Memoir Book Club and they covered Busy’s book and I’ve not actually listened to that episode, but apparently Busy is saying that the hosts of the podcast led her daughter to know that her parents were separating / not happy because her daughter found the podcast episode. On her own podcast Busy is making fun of the hosts and being quite bitchy by mocking the hosts… god it all seems to much to get upset over people discussing something she wrote herself??!!
When Busy announced that Birdie was nb she said it was Marc who got on board with it first and thought it made perfect senseI wonder if they broke up because Marc wouldn’t go along with the non-binary nonsense.
No it's an instagram page.Tons of gossip on it.Just listened to her podcast this week and she was totally babbling about how maybe Birdie’s generation have got it right with the non binary thing, as if as a female you can just check out of oppression. Honestly she sounded unhinged. Also a lot of chat about relationships and monogamy which does make me wonder about her and Marc. She’s always talking about everything being terrible but is obviously holding back on what’s going on that’s actually terrible. It’s just annoying.
I don’t realise Marc wasn’t with her at her parents at Christmas. But he wasn’t in any stories or pics, although that’s not unusual. The last she mentioned they are living in another rental while they wait in the house they’ve bought in new York being ready. But no mention of that for ages.
What is deuxmoi, a podcast?
Ah yes, that makes sense. She's probably made a lot of enemies but I think the fact she's called her husband out for not paying child support (arsehole) is a bit of a coincidence isn't it?I assume her Insta acts as an advertisement for her substack, so having it suspended would result in a big reduction in new subscribers. Awful as it's her livelihood at the moment with the strike.

Ha, yes I did and rolled my eyes so hard!! The pronoun police never take a day offHave you seen the person trying to correct Busy by commenting "THEY"... I think as Birdie's mother, she knows better than you dude.
