You're right, he has all the charisma and stage presence of a wet quilt, and to be fair those qualities have nothing to do with weight or appearance, but they also can't be manufactured by taking his clothes off. Quite the opposite.

There is no way the mainstream media would be “accepting” of a woman in equal size/stature/attractiveness - she would be torn to shreds if she even made it into the public eye for this look and how she is/needs to [enter appropriate insult here].

Sex sells when you’re a conventionally attractive woman (but a mediocre man is absolutely fine).

Yep. I haven’t seen him get the kind of heat Lizzo gets for her larger body in terms of a health POV, the ‘you shouldn’t be normalising obesity’ stuff levelled at her I believe she gets told off if she’s saying she’s trying to lose weight too. Women can rarely win with body image.

This. I think a lot of people - even some GC people on Twitter and here - don’t quite recognise the extent of the fetishism. Every time somebody comments on a photo like that, ridiculing him even, they are indulging his fetish. His fetish isn’t simply “dressing as a woman” - it’s “conducting himself in a way that causes self humiliation” - he’s aiming his behaviour at the people who ridicule him, and to ridicule him is to comply with his demands to be humiliated. If wearing a suit and tie got him ridiculed, that’d give him a hard on too.
What trans activism does is removes the decision making process and consequences - he doesn’t have to weigh his fetish against a social cost, because there’s a social activism that will laud him for “smashing gender norms”. It’s pathetic

Struggling to remember “the one where… Ross and Chandler simulate pissing into each other’s mouths whilst wearing lingerie”
That's it. It's just struck me. What is wrong with Sam Smith and sweaty bloated body and his silly non-binary and his vile video is ALL of it reminds you of how vile men can be. We all know what men are like but SS is goading us putting it out there, right on display.

26 year old trans child molester in California who plead guilty for the sexual assault of a 10 year old girl when he was 17 is sentenced to two years in a female juvenile youth facility. He will not be made to sign the sex offender register on his release.

Sheila Jeffreys opened my eyes on fetishism, though sometimes I wish she hadn't.

On Sam Smith, some people are claiming the outcry is just because he's gay/non-binary and this would never happen with a straight singer's music video. Except there has been many music videos that have been close to the line or strayed over the line of acceptability. Cardi B's WAP, Blurred Lines. Spears' Slave For You was criticized back in the day.

If Sam Smith had stuck to the ostentatious outfits he wears at the start but avoided the weird liquid spray scenes and the corset that made him look up like the big-budget version of Matt Lucas' gay character from Little Britain, it wouldn't have been a big deal.

On an another note, I think he should ask himself why it might be that he's always being friend zoned.

What the actual fuck


I hate this world we live in. Nowhere feels safe anymore. I don't want to bring children into this shitshow, I worry it's only going to get worse.

This is a very long thread on the impact assessment policy for trans prisoners in Scotland. In brief, women's groups were not consulted - but trans groups were given free rein - and only the impacts on trans prisoners were considered - no impacts on female prisoners or female prison staff seem to have been evaluated.

There was thought as well as a personal story behind a lot of Madonnas music. Like a prayer caused much controversy however there many arches to that story. Sam smiths seems to be I ‘m a fat sub wouldn’t you pish in my mouth pretty please.

“SPS have a duty of care and will take steps. A trans person should not have any contact or be in the same location at any time with a person who has been charged or sentenced to a transphobic crime.”

This part jumped out.

it’s the same type of impact study that was carried out in schools…..both forgot to ask the people it would impact most in this case woman and girls….they also ignored run of the mill prison guards

it was basically so you are trans…..how can we bend over backwards for you!!!!

But not “a woman should not have any contact or be in the same location at any time with a person who has been charged or sentenced to a crime involving violence against women”
