ew.com/tv/rupauls-dra… . “I just got my haircut — a very feminine cut — and in one week already, my life has changed. I’m able to come off stage and take my makeup off and still see a beautiful woman in the mirror. It’s powerful.” #ThePowerOfAHaircut #CoiffeurChameleon
"Without a prompt, she volunteers information about her physical transformation, stressing that it's important for her to highlight this part of her story - which involves deliberately coming out before beginning hormone therapy"
Yes, that's right - the haircut is as far as the transformation has got. Oh, and, "32-year-old recording artist and cannabis activist " so maybe shouldn't have done any interviews till she 'd had some munchies and a nap.
"She doesn't plan to change her drag name or her birth name; she'll still perform as Laganja Estranja, and go by Jay among those closest to her" No change there then either. Must be exhausting for her all this transforming.
"Estranja feels it's her responsibility to come out on a public platform during Pride month to help facilitate the journey for others who might be conflicted over their identities." and to get interviews in magazines?

"A couple of years ago I had a similar, but much lower-status, brush with insane overreaction to stating simple biological reality..So I’ve put together this guide for the cancelled, and those contemplating it."
"1. Total unwavering public support. I had plenty of this on social media and in the physical world from readers and viewers who liked my work, but nobody in the ‘industry’ did this."
"2. Private support, public silence. By far the largest group.. If even the most timid expression of personal regard for someone stating common facts could lead to Armageddon, then what does that leave us with?"

thearticle.com/maya-forstater… "Forstater’s solicitor, Peter Daly, observed:“Social media platforms ought urgently to take advice on whether they are impermissibly suppressing European speech and thought with a Californian scold’s bridle".”
"Underscoring Forstater’s case is a wider cultural phenomenon: the export of US values to the UK...
...To the generation that has come of age with iPhones in their hands, the social media guidelines of US companies are more relevant than the right to freedom of belief, speech and expression as enshrined in European law...

"Cashman had another funny turn..felt it was terrible that ‘in order to find your identity, your place within our movement, that you have to be scarred and hurt’. Unfortunate words when so many young women, mostly lesbian, literally have mastectomy scars."
"The new Stonewall strategy thus far has included tweeting broadsheet newspapers ‘U ok hun?’ in response to valid criticism, updating their branding to more closely match the ECHR and Mermaids and, being the all-round shit bags they are, started mass blocking accounts on Twitter"
"The strategy has three strands; Freedom (legal stuff), Equity (intersectional stuff) and Potential (potential stuff), which includes expanding the Rainbow Laces paid programme and all the other revenue producing grift."

"Well-connected people who would once have found their natural home in public relations are now hacks, whereas bright working-class kids, as I was in the 1970s, cannot afford to work as unpaid interns...
...Nepotism - which interesting often goes hand in hand with Wokery, probably because of the fear that hoi polloi are Deplorables who will sully one’s antimacassars given the chance - has fouled the nest...
...Women who are blessed with a savage wit, such as myself, are especially monitored and monstered - but it is a fact that when humour is *gentle* it’s generally rubbish."

"they were about as committed to a robust exchange of ideas as North Korean secret policemen; like the spooks of Pyongyang, these aging professors were dedicated solely to protecting their own Hermit Kingdom from outsiders and preserving their rigid and uninterrupted way of life"
"Academic journals were set up to ensure that the anointed speak only to the anointed. Tenure committees sprang up to hire more like-minded folks—and squelch dissenters. Real diversity—not of the color of one’s skin but of the content of one’s character—was snuffed out"
"By the time I entered college in the late 1990s, what passed for excellence, at least in the humanities, was learning to recite the secret language these fearful men and women had invented to keep the outside world at bay."

"the discipline of academic Philosophy, and the university system more generally, has become little more than an indoctrination center for ‘woke’ leftist ideology and the antithesis of its original aim and purpose."
"academics on the left now make their arguments primarily by means of social pressure and stigmatization, intimidation, group struggle sessions, virtue signaling, and online reputational assassination in the form of labelling their opponents as ‘extremists’, ‘racists’, ‘phobes’"
"completely cowed into silence and complicity by the intersectional ideologues, burying their heads deeper in the sand, promising themselves that on some far-off future day, once the professional and social climate somehow improves, once someone else has stuck their neck out...
