Why does it feel to me as if the most unflattering frock of all time was the one selected for the event?

Could it possibly have been to add to the incredibly predictable media shit storm? You can't tell me that this guy doesn't just *adore* any and all forms of attention, even if it requires him to really ramp up the old misogyny and public declarations of support for child abuse. Perhaps someone should remind him of the demographics of his fan base, IDK...

It looks like someone stitched a line of elastic through a satin table cloth and scrunched it around themselves.

Yes, it does! While I don't personally find the thing at all attractive, it has been pointed out to me that it was designed to accommodate and accentuate the curves of the female form - so I do find myself wondering what it might look like on a woman.

I simply don't understand why a man would choose to wear something so unflattering out in public save to create a boatload of free press for some reason.

Beyoncé Knowles could make a burlap sack look sexy but even she couldn't rescue that monstrosity!

Doing that might actually end up being far more flattering!

Males demonstrate their perversions in public with their clothing and they are a threat, and women do not.

That's why we can wear anything we want, and men cannot.

It's as simple as that.

Mace and Degeners certainly didn't masturbate,or even consider doing so, or hoped anyone else would, at the sight of themselves in tuxedos.

LOL Point taken. She looks pretty good to me too, and I'm straight! Van Ness just looks like a circus clown...which denotes a big turn off to most folks, but there is coulrophilia, a clown fetish, so some sick twist somewhere is into him.

He looks like a damn fool in his dress. The statement "fictitious women's fairness in sports" shows he's a damn fool whatever he's wearing. Nancy Mace's outfit wasn't affirmation of fealty to a cult. His dress and bullshit gaslighting clearly are.

Karen, have you seen the news about the postal worker murdered by a TIM who the msm insisted on calling a woman?🙄

Literally all over a deli sandwich, too. Now, I love a sandwich myself, particularly if it was made by someone else. They're always more delicious somehow!

That said, I rather highly doubt that I'll ever feel even slightly tempted to stab someone in a frenzy over one. IDK, it couldn't possibly be because I'm not a violent man, could it? 🙄

The same intersectionality that got the UK in terrible straits over the rape gangs is this crap, too. Intersectionality is a disease

Intersectionality, inclusion, are generally just the new word for misogyny now. Amazing how in the left's current victim hierarchy, men and boys that are sex offenders often outrank their victims on the sympahty scale. Ana Kasparian said she left the Democratic party because she was sexually assaulted by a homeless man and people on the left called her out for talking about it because doing so demonizes homeless people. WTF?!

Karen, another quite topical news story is the fact that the trans identifying and axe wielding Australian Evie Amati has been let out of prison and granted parole after a mere eight years inside* for the attempted murder of three complete strangers.

I'm sure you could find something to say about that, too...

*inside the women's prison system, too

🤬Really? How many women was he allowed to rape? Did he impregnate any, and did any women have the baby?

Just wondering, as so many imprisoned men seem to think access to all the women they can assault is their right and due once they end up in prison.🤬

I thnk Van Ness has referred to himself as "a feminine presenting non-binary trans person". Not that trans or non-binary make any sense, but putting the two together seems like a ontradiction. He has also called himself a victim of misogyny.

Good question. I looked up what he said, "As a non-binary trans person who is very femme, I feel that I've faced a lot of the misogyny. I'm obviously not a woman so I don't actually know what it is to be a woman and that's not what I'm saying, but misogyny does not only affect women."

If he had used the word femmephobia, denigration of the feminine, instead of misogyny, it would have made sense. There are certain aspects of femininity, qualities that would fall under the definition of "toxic femininity", I find quite off-putting. And, yes men can be victims of of misogyny in an indirect way. Misogyny that impacts the women and girls that they care about can have a trickle down effect on men and boys. Van Ness is someone who is desperately trying to be a victim, his identity seems formed around that, and is not willing to engage in any serious form of self-assessment. He also talks a lot about "trans misogyny", which is an oxymoronic/redundant term. Men larping as women is misogyny.

Here's the thing about males in dresses. For centuries males have mocked women by wearing feminine attire and even males played women roles in plays. As time went on, a male in a dress was mocked. Male writers for tv shows, movies, books, and even music videos used the gag of a guy in a dress as comedy. No one, especially other males took a guy serious in a dress. So if Johnny, is so upset with people making fun of him, he shouldn't look any further then Hollyweird who has perpetuated the male in a dress as funny for centuries! He take up his distain with male writers who made this an absolute joke for years and society has accepted it as well. Beside all that, women have dressed in masculine attire for centuries as a means of comfortable and the ability to complete every day tasks, which made the task more manageable then wearing a dress or a skirt. Society accepted women wearing pants and eventually more masculine attire as a part of our wardrobe. We didn't wear masculine attire to get sexually aroused. Even butch lesbians who get ridiculed for wearing masculine attire aren't accused of wearing male clothing, because we get off on it. Actually we are constantly harassed by male society, that we want to be males. However, males wearing female attire was either to ridicule women or it was about having a sexual fetish. Guys became sexually aroused in dresses, skirts, and women's underwear. Males wearing women attire was never meant for comfort or accomplishing every day tasks like it was for women. It was always an insidious reason why they paraded around in female attire.

It's sick that trans-revisionism insists that any woman who used to wear "male" clothing was oBvIoUsLy a non-woman. The ideology is so depraved it can't comprehend anything except from the point of view of male fetishes

They are so desperate to connect women wearing male attire to the pretender delusion, because they know males are like that. So they are so hard pressed to find the same with women, but they can't, because women aren't like that.

Sadly Stella O'Malley (of Genspect fame) has made some pretty bold and ill-advised comments about her belief that lesbian "cross-dressing" is a paraphilia.

I don't think that the backlash recieved even made her consider walking her ignorant homophobia back, but here we are...

I think Stella is a closeted homosexual. She hates on women too much.

Hmm, I guess that could well be the case. She would have grown up under some pretty all encompassing woman hatred in sectarian Ireland either way, I guess.

She does come across as pretty ignorant as regards gay and lesbian issues, even trans issues, deployment of buzzwords relating to “ROGD” aside - and that's clearly a function of the business model she has adopted. Most of the parents affected by the phenomenon of social contagion hitting their children are of course going to be straight people with little to no exposure to the LGB or the trans identifying.

Is Stella O'Malley a lesbian, or have many lesbian friends? I can't tell on the Wikipedia page on her. So how does she know?

I say foul. She doesn't know. Women generally just have too much work to do, to spend time indulging in male 'funnery' like paraphilias. I've always heard, and believe, it's testosterone which inflames the libido to such an extent that the penis is focused upon, becomes the end-all and be-all to life that sex seems to be to males. Or if not sex, then masturbation.

Women started being able to wear pants rather than dresses in the 20th century, Katharine Hepburn appeared in several films in the 1930s and 40s wearing beautiful, wide-leg trousers, popularizing them for wear at least at home. Perhaps women wore pants during the world war years, when they went to work at factories. But I wouldn't say it was common, nor accepted until the later half of the century.

In Southern California where I was born & raised, women continued being expected to wear dresses nearly everywhere else. As a very young child in the 60's, my mother had to wear pants in public due to a leg condition, and I remember feeling shamed by it. Of course I, in elementary school, had to wear a dress every single day, no matter if we played sports that day or not. That policy didn't change until 1972.

Based on my experience, "cross dressing" by women has only been completely accepted for a little over 50 years!
