I think that's all he can cope with at the moment, looks as if he is about to crack up.

She identified as non-binary so you were right on that part. And given how little she discussed it after the Guardian article about it, who knows how long it all lasted in real-life.

Yeah I didn't want to erase anyone's identity, I'm as pro LGBT as the next sane person, but everyone in the thread was using she and the whole thing just didn't add up!

Jack is so strange.

So much to unpack here. Mainly... who gives a fuck what mumsnet says about your tits? She’s a bloodhound for drama.

I remember that MN thread. IIRC, the issue wasn’t about her tits, but because it was an award specifically for women and Jack had decided at that at that point that she was a man. Then in her acceptance speech she made some comment about rocking a beard and being pumped full of testerone for next years awards. I think the commenters on MN were rightly pointing out that she couldn’t have it both ways. ‘They’ are either a man so shouldn’t be accepting an award for women, or they’re woman.
Edited to say she was ‘identifying as male’, rather.

She’s always been ok with ‘she’, according to the Guardian.

When is that from? I’m pretty sure she asked to be referred to as ‘they/them’ at one point. I’ve just searched for the threads on MN to see if I was going mad but they’ve all been deleted. Obviously.

Wouldn’t surprise me, seems she enjoys creating confusion

Article here https://www.archive.is/oldest/https...woman-or-a-man-interview-transgender-identity

I found the article confusing because she mentions wanting to be seen as neither male nor female but ‘as a person’ - but in the shoot dresses as a feminine woman with stereotypical feminine poses/expressions, then in masculine dress with stereotypically male stance/expression. Which to me translates to the opposite of what she said. And reinforces gender stereotypes. Or am I missing something?

Fuck me, I want to be treated as a person too, I had no idea it was a whole identity.

No, she’s fucking exhausting. She says she wants to be referred to as ‘in transition’ but she’s not transitioning into a male. So what, she’s transitioning into a non-binary person? And how is she doing that? By dressing as a stereotypical woman one day and wearing stereotypically male clothing the next? It’s all very ‘look at me! Look at me!’

Honestly, this pisses me off. Complain about gender roles, sure, but actively reinforce them? Fuck off.

Of all the things to be wound up by that she does... I find her constant “I swear like a sailor” really annoying. Not because swearing upsets me, I do it all the time, but it’s the way she acts like she thinks it gives her more street cred. She’s like the goody two shoes who wants to be taken more seriously by the cool kids. She also overuses the word tits which I find really grating.
