He's got a bloody point.

Jimmy Mulville Hat Trick - show some guts and make the musical. Or, as the man says, if you don't want to make the musical, at least give it back. For heaven's sake.

What is it with some straight people’s tendency to feel entitled to wade so clumsily into the internal politics of our community in this way?

The “allies”, when they are not denying the transness of transsexuals (“Trans women are women”), are busy using transsexuals as pawns in some weird political game. If anything is “transphobic”, it’s this patronising nonsense.

I can’t imagine how uninterested I would be in being
