Wasn't she dead chuffed with herself for using excel a couple of days ago?

Non-binary people are generally considered to come under the trans umbrella. Lots do take hormones and get various surgeries, top surgery for AFAB NB people seeming to be the most common.

kachoochoo


afaik, some NB people do identify as trans masc or trans femme, as well as agender, genderfluid etc. gender can be complex and jack just likes to co opt whatever will get her the most attention and money, without actually having to deal with the shit trans + NB people do

as far as jack is concerned: tattoos + rollups - boy, dresses + rolling pin - girl, "mamapapa" - NB

Just looking at her list, it's full of shit like tinned chicken in white sauce, tinned Irish stew etc. Is this genuinely what she thinks poor people consider weekly essentials? They're poor, they're not preppers ffs!

We never see pix of his bedroom anymore. Hopefully, because she's respecting his privacy.
Remember when 'Agency' was her word of the week.

I listened to her on Jeremy Vine. She waffled, giggled and drawled on about the same things, of course. But it was the people calling in afterwards who I wanted to listen to, cos I was curious to see if anyone was going to say ‘Who the hell is this Jack Monroe person, they don’t speak for me.’ But of course they didn’t. They just wanted to tell their stories - real, genuinely sad stories about struggling with rises in energy costs and food bills, and how depressed and scared they are at the rises. (Because there are rises - we can show photos of being able to buy cheap pasta and rice - but food IS generally costing more. And energy, petrol, all of it.)

So - they don’t care if Jack hasn’t paid her taxes, has food in her cupboards and freezers, spaffs 100 quid on spoons, has a house full of belongings, takes an embarrassing amount of selfies, has lip filler, etc. etc. They don’t care - all they care about is the chance to be able to say how it is for them, and for it be relevant. It’s undeniable that she’s been all across the news for over a week now - and that is soooo annoying because of everything that’s talked about here. But, for some people it’s worthwhile for them to have ‘loudhailer’ so they can have a chance to say about how it is for them, because it’s real for them. And they’re not going to a deep dive on Jack, because to them, she’s saying everything they want to. Just made me think.

(If the Vimes in Boots Index thingy ever comes to fruition, and is a slapdash affair, I still don’t think it will matter)
