And because Ireland sneaked in self-ID without allowing the people of Ireland to really discuss it, Barbie Kardashian, who hates women with a completely tunnel vision.
Exactly, exactly. He's now sharing living space with female prisoners.
I used to say about the Catholic Church, at least priests had to learn Latin, you know. These guys, all they have to do is put on some eyeshadow, and every door is open to them.
Yeah, well, the rules change all the time. And that's something I didn't realize as well, is that the rules were very fluid. Just like identity. Yeah, yeah. But it's like they try and pretend that identity is fluid by making the conversation fluid and hard to understand. I mean, part of me is very angry for the fact that no one in my career stood up for me, you know. But another part...
kind of understands because the language around this issue is so deliberately confusing.
Well, there's an interesting... I can't remember who did the... People are wondering, who the hell is this guy on Graham's left? LAUGHTER I know, I feel terrible that I'm talking so much. But this guy, I can't remember who said it, but he said that during the Nazi years, there's a kind of widespread assumption that everyone was afraid of being tortured by a guy with a dueling scar on his face.
And he says, no, the reason that ordinary Germans went along with it for the most part was because of career advancements. They did not want their careers to stall.
Yeah.
Yeah, but that I think is the real danger, especially if you're a writer, that if you can change the meaning of fundamental word combination like men and women, then everything falls apart.
Do you know what I mean? There's certain things that have been weaponized, and one of them is the empathy that gay people feel for outsiders. You know, they've always been very protective of them.
We have a YouTube channel where we talk about the gender issue. And one of the important things we felt was you've got to show people it's safe to laugh at this stuff, because it is ridiculous. One of the things I got into trouble for was Eddie Izzard said that he would have been a victim of the Holocaust.
And I said, yes, the Nazis famously bigoted against straight white men with blonde hair, you know. That got me called a Holocaust denier by trans rights activists.
Yeah, Rowling is now a Holocaust denier because, you know.
Yeah, yeah. Isn't that crazy? But my point, just to come back slightly to my point about gay clubs, I think this is a really important one because I heard one of, you're going to have to tell me the details, but Foucault, is that how you pronounce it? Foucault, yeah. Foucault's, one of his observations is that in a small, There might be a guy who calls himself mayor, but he's not the mayor.
He's just a crazy guy. But everyone says, oh, hello, mayor. And they listen to him and they take his advice and stuff like that. And that seems to be what affirmation is. Yes. Right? Yes. But the thing is, once you widen it throughout society, it falls apart. It's untenable once you get outside of that small village. Yeah. And what I think gay clubs were was a place where outsiders could come.
You wanted to dress as a woman. You wanted to dress in ridiculous clothes. The gay club was a safe place to do all that. But that empathy has been weaponized by straight white men in AGPs who are basically manipulating the empathy that both women and gay people have for the outsider.
It seems to me more that they're giving eccentrics too much power. Oh, sorry, that's what you said.
But there's people like... There's one guy, a famous guy in the UK. He's got a beard. He appeared on this video that a wonderful Scottish TERF who died very young, 34 years old, Magdalene Burns, absolutely wonderful, was first on the scene of the crime. And her videos are amazing. I really recommend everyone watch them. But...
But she did a famous one about Stonewall where this, it was the early days, so they were quite kind of upfront about saying these ridiculous things. And it was a guy with a beard named Alex Drummond. And he was saying things like, I want to expand the bandwidth of what it means to be a woman, you know.
And Magdalene said very, you know, in one of her many famous lines, why don't you expand the bandwidth of what it means to be a man? You know, and there's people like him in any normal world. Someone like that would just be an eccentric whose friends tolerated them. And oh, it's just Alex being Alex. But now he's like the figurehead for a movement.
