Talk to the hole

BBC insults women with a headline:

Celebrity MasterChef: Cheryl Hole on why LGBTQ+ representation is important

So the BBC is cool with calling women “holes”?

Drag artist Cheryl Hole said LGBTQ+ representation on shows like Celebrity MasterChef is important with “the community under attack”.

She appears in the penultimate week of heats of the celebrity cooking show.

Is “Hole” a drag artist or a she? He can’t be both, now can he – only males can do female drag, because that’s what drag means.

    I swear, I remember a time when ‘real’ transwomen insisted that there is a distinction between transsexuality, drag queens and transvestites, and would be genuinely outraged if they were lumped together. I suspect that this Grand Unification of Trans has played a big part in creating the current environment.

    Yes, with “the community under attack,”* they suddenly think they’re NATO.

    *How much of that “attack” is women saying “No”? Sounds like self-defence to me.

    I’d thought it was a convention to refer to drag personas by matching pronouns (which of course muddies the waters now that transgenderism is on the scene)…

    Drag queens are typically called “she” while in character here in Australia.
