You were asking about Sophie Grace Chappell?
But latsot didn’t “misgender” people. Emily Bridges is indeed a man. He claims to be a trans woman, but that doesn’t make him a woman, it just makes him a man who claims to be a woman or a man who claims to be a trans woman, depending on how genuine his claim is.
Chappell is a man too of course. One thing he’s famous for is saying it doesn’t matter if more women are killed because trans women are allowed to invade our spaces. The Glinner Update last September:
BBC Radio Scotland’s morning programme hosted a discussion about the Scottish government’s proposed GRA reforms and self ID legislation….One of the guests was trans-identified male, Sophie Grace Chappell, a Philosophy professor at the Open University.
Before I go on – when’s the last time you saw a grown woman dressed like that? In my case the answer would be never. Never. Grown women do not wear flouncy starched sticky-out skirts like that with white cardigans and pearls and whatever the fuck those shoes are. Nor little pink ribbon barrettes nor a coy bit of petticoat sticking out nor nail polish on stubby little nails. A grown woman would not go out in public like that, let alone a grown woman who is an academic with a job in a real university. He’s mocking us.
Ahem. Back to the update:
From the off, Chappell dismissed women’s safety concerns as ‘fearmongering’.
…
“Suppose people were saying ‘Well you know if you make it easier for gay people to be themselves in society there’s going to be a crime wave or dreadful homosexual murders are going to happen, it’s going to be awful if we do that’, I think we’d rightly dismiss that as scaremongering and we’d say ‘No it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter’. It wouldn’t matter, actually, if there was a slight spike in those statistics because this isn’t about that kind of issue.”
Cool. It wouldn’t matter if more women were murdered, as long as “Sophie Grace” (flatter himself much?) gets to wear his stupid flouncy skirt.

My guess is that many of his fantasies involve his idea of librarians and school marms. Nattily dressed, efficient taskmistresses.
Like, illustrations from children’s books from 50 or so years ago. An excellent way to organize one’s life as an adult.
No, we’d say that such things wouldn’t result from decriminalizing and destigmatizing homosexuality, and therefore reject such claims as scaremongering. If we instead said that crime waves and murders didn’t matter, we’d be monsters. This isn’t difficult stuff.
If I’m not mistaken, those shoes are ghillies, which women would in fact wear–to perform Irish dances. So basically like wearing ballet toe shoes with your girly-girl princess outfit.

How scandalous to wear ballet slippers with a perfectly crafted cotillion outfit! Such nonconformity gives me the vapors. I’d faint, but I’m too busy trying to supress a gag reflex. :P
Suppress with 2 p’s was what I meant. :P :P
Even the gothic lolitas don’t dress up like that; it’d be much fancier. Not that the gothic lolitas don’t have an issue with AGPs trying to make their hobby gross.
Both women and men wear ghillies when attending Scottish Country Dance classes or dances. Normally, you carry them with you and put them on only when you arrive at the venue. Looking at the coats hung up and the cubbyholes for shoes in the picture behind him, it could be the case that the photo was taken at such a dance or class. The outfit is not that outlandish for a woman at an RSCDS event (Royal Scottish Country Dance Society).
More to the point, “basic respect” involves not invading women’s private spaces, not taking away women’s places in women’s sport, not cheating to gain advantage in women’s sport, not stealing women’s prizes in sport, and not lying about your sex. ALL of those are far more reprehensible than calling a man, “he.” Not to mention that “misgendering,” otherwise known as “correctly sexing,” is factually true, while all the other described behaviors are dishonest, and aggressively violative of others’ rights. You really need to sort out your priorities.
Ah yes, now I recognize them. I sort of did before and vaguely thought “kilts” but didn’t look into it. Is the skirt part of a dance costume do you think?
You said: not that outlandish. Hmm ok maybe…but take a selfie and then share it? Pushing it, I think, when he’s a man.
I don’t know about the shoes but that costume is very typical of his usual attire.
Sophie’s riding Jason Stanley’s Fascist Express too. https://twitter.com/SophieGraceCha1/status/1535335383344496641?cxt=HHwWgoCy9bDZzc4qAAAA
Funny, looking at the same thread, I’d characterize it as Stanley having his ass handed to him, and then blocking people whose arguments and criticisms he was unable to counter with anything but smears.
Maybe I need to clean my glasses.
I love it when men in frilly skirts tell women how to feminism.
