Sorry, about that - too early for my sausage fingers!
Well written, as always, Julie!
I’m one that could not accept the ‘Alphabet Soup’ brigade already. Would never attend a Pride event. Boycott any shops now flying the hijacked and similarly mutilated rainbow. I will not be a ‘cis’ - who dare they! I know many LGB people who just get on with their, now far more liberated, lives. The T movement is however, at least online and in media, a hostile, narcissistic and hateful minority intent on the invasion of women’s spaces both virtual and physical. I’m grateful for JKR’s support and activism, vocal and financial, of the defence of women. The ‘T Movement’ is, in my opinion, evil.
Bring back the common or garden Transvestite.
It’s all a big con.
I actually rather like that the Orange Man has changed it to ‘Veterans Month’ across the pond - a far better choice, again in my opinion.
I think it’s sad that so many confused teens are being sucked into a movement that wants to change them. That profits from that. For them to deny their male or femaleness and instead listen to the voices of their inner critic that all adolescents have.
I’m sad for the gay community having their worlds hijacked
I’m devastated for the children being dragged into it. Those a listers parading their children is frankly deviant behaviour. I’m sick and tired of girls and ladies having their sporting accomplishments demeaned and destroyed for a minuscule minority of poor quality male participants.
Other than that 🤣 I’m good thanks. Daughter, family and I are in process of buying a big old place together to do the 3 generation thing. Very happy about that. Hope your boy is doing ok.
Yes the celebrities parading their confused kids is worrying.
Oh your plans sound nice, assuming you all get on. I’d definitely need my own quarters 😂😂
Yes, son is good, thanks - he’s very much looking forward to us going to centerparcs with my mum in a week and a half. It was hard to get him out during half term but managed to get him out for a pancake at a place we’ve been to before.
I hope you manage to have a holiday somewhere lovely this year too x
I minded my own business when it came to other people’s sexuality but this is now yet another well funded strategy to normalise the abnormal and destroy the traditional concept of the family unit that they despise so much. 2020 opened my eyes to the lengths the corporatocracy is willing to go to in order to destroy everything natural and wholesome and good in our world. Some days I wish I’d figured it out earlier then others I’m glad I was just living my life as best I could to that point.
Lovely to see you here, Janette. I hope you and yours are good and having a nice summer. ☀️😊
We all have our line in the sand over what we will go along with. Pride has become an entirely different beast. Frankenstein’s monster. Something we’re meant to feel guilty for not embracing. Well I can’t endorse transing the gay away, denial of biology and mutilation. Not my kind of carnival.
Best explanation in which helps me find my own answers to what I too have experienced and been exposed too. It's a delicate set of circumstances especially when WE don't wanna be apart of discrimination. But I've had direct connection with community of T+ and I have be receptive but say I've always known you by your manly name don't be offended by me to continue referring and calling you by your guy name. I also believe there's a more sinister reasons for why we've been bombarded by this T+ topic only in recent times. I won't go there also based upon my experience where our governments and Frankenstein and his cousin Dr Jekyll and Hyde have been covertly operating in the shadows. Thanks for your courage to share your thoughts and putting them to words.
It's an attack on feminism from an evil cult who have no purpose except to control us . Leave our children and grandchildren alone don't mess with their heads.They have enough to cope with already.Stop the brain washing.l agee with you Julie.😊x.
Abso-F-lutely. I would always have seen myself as an “ally”, back from when singing that you were glad to be gay could get your head kicked in. Stonewall used to be one of the most heroic organisations out there. The struggle was real. But now the struggle is in people’s heads. Not in a trivial way, but in a way that spills over into the media, the NHS, the workplace, family discourse and it ends up being homophobic in the same way that BLM became racist.
Most people, including a great many from the LGB community, I would suggest, have had a gutful of this now. The very necessary LGB movement has been totally hijacked by those intent on unpicking the fabric of our society for political ends. Makes me furious. Damn good article 👍
Ha! Don’t worry I’m having the double garage converted into a granny annex!
Good to hear about son. Actually my son and family are off to Centre Parcs too shortly. Their last time in affordable off peak before granddaughter goes to school. She’s been home schooled until now but really feels ready to go to big school with the friends she’s made at drama and dance classes over the years. I dare say she also wants to put space between herself and her annoying little brother 🤣
Yes I’ve known am quite a few families that have done home education then gone back into school later down the line. Nice to keep an open mind. Sounds like it will be an adventure for her with her mates alongside. :)
Absolutely agree with this and I did the same as you, I now see Pride very differently. None of my gay friends would attend a pride event which says a lot too.
I’d be interested to know how many know the phrase I open with. I’m guessing it’s probably an English thing and even then, maybe specific to certain regions of the country.
Sorry you feel this way. What if you had a family member who was trans, would you erase them from your life? Let people be people and live their lives. If someone doesn’t affect you in your personal life, then it be…

Rapidly turning into Mary Whitehouse!

Hello Julie.

Thanks for saying this Julie.
Totally agree.

Free speech is in jeopardy and we must all say what’s on our minds, plain as we can.
Culture wars are encouraging hate on either side but I don’t hate anyone. I’m sad for people who have been persuaded they are in ‘the wrong’ body.

It exploits common teenage feelings of not belonging and fuses them with toxic ideologies.
That was BRILLIANT! Everything I wanted to say, but wasn’t quite eloquent enough to say it! Hit the nail right on the head! Love it 🥰 thank you 😉
Glad you appreciated it Amanda :)

😂 he’s great isn’t he? Loved his posts during lockdowns.
Yes I heard it described today as a ‘gender careers fair’ which I thought was ace.
It speaks volumes that so many of the original community are turning their backs on it.
This is a great piece of wiring Julie. It's kind but frank... and it says what I feel. Thankyou for posting 🙏
Cheers. Yes I dislike the hate stuff as I think people caught up in it all need help - especially the kids.
I dislike the way it’s all gotten so distant from its roots.
Nice expansion upon the other post I enjoy so much, thank you.
You inspired it Jennifer - your email reminding me of that old one actually because ‘Tis the season’ (Pride) n all that :)
Very well said.
Thanks. It’s that time of year again - ‘Pride’ 🙄

I might bump into you😂😂

Yes it does. So many don’t know exactly what they’re celebrating. They just go to party and that’s that.

Thank you Heather.Hope you are well 😊
Superb article, Julie. Your mom's phrase is perfect and lovely. And your writing, as ever, creatively spot on. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Thank you. You too, Una :)

Of course I wouldn’t erase them. I would continue to love them, hope they got help with their mental health and support them in doing so.
I do let it be. As I say in the post, I wish no hate, just can’t buy into it.
