Only true if everyone repeats it

Jean Hatchet lets fly.

Upton and Tickle, who sound like a pair of bad electricians, were in court over the last two weeks for one reason only and that was to try to make people, especially women, say the words, “you are a woman”.

Everywhere they walk they hear these coveted words. They hear them from the compliant, the sycophants and the fearful alike. Their neighbours will say it, their friends will say it, some of their family will say it. Other men in frocks will say it, and they will return the feel-good falsehood. The newspapers will say it, the television will say it, posters will say it and songs will say it…

However, the reason they came to court is because they each found someone who refused to say it. Sandie Peggie and Sall Grover refused and have carried on refusing. This is unbearable to them. Upton and Tickle’s lie is only true if everyone repeats it for them, and to them. Everyone.

These men don’t want changing rooms or chatting apps, they want full submission. They don’t want justice they want power.

And they want power over a particular set of people – the set that is female not in their dreams, not on paper, not by bullying, not by calling the cops, not by going to court, but just by birth.

Only by commanding everyone to believe they changed into women does anyone say “Oh him! I mean her. Sorry, don’t report me. Please?”

But when these men returned home they knew what they had each been told. They heard very loud and very clear, “You aren’t a woman because this woman right here, this one with the support of fucking thousands, who doesn’t give a fuck about your personal pretence or your tears by your car, she said so and she refused to fucking unsay it”.

So I’m glad they had to get in their house, take off their sham costumes, take a deep breath and look in the mirror with the brave words of those women ringing in their ears, “You, my lad, are not a woman”.

When the door closes and they take off the dress and the lipstick, the mirror screams, “Sorry pumpkin, you’re a fucking massive bloke” and you can’t drag a mirror to court.

And even if you could it wouldn’t be nearly as much fun as dragging a living breathing woman.
