I may think that. But I’m assured by many younger people that we’re gammons and bigots for thinking that. When the Calf is repurposed from birds to becoming a re-education gulag we’ll probably be in adjoining tents. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people, many far older than you, by centuries, and even millennia, realised it wasn’t quite so clear cut. There was a Roman emperor who promised untold riches for a surgeon who could give them a vagina. Even the Mesopotamians had a deity who could change men into women and vice versa. But, what have the Romans, or Mesopotamians ever done for us? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, what have the Romans, or Mesopotamians ever done for us? Elagabalus? He also had his own religious cult, performed child sacrifices and was assassinated at the age of 18! He isn't someone I would choose to back up my my argument. Edited January 30, 2023 by Hoops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do kids do these days? Some TikToks and hassling mum for designer trainers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manx Bean Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 Picture this: 13 year old Drag Queen from QE2 School who entered the class under the name of Ophelia Cox..steps out delivers her opening line at the judges in true cutting drag queen style “Will you lot cheer up. You all look like you’ve just shat your pants”.. At which point there are audible sharp intakes of breath from the audience whilst 3 members of the Port St Mary Mothers Union Wednesday Club pass out with shock. Meanwhile, someone has WhatsApp’d a photo to the Daily Mail news desk and within an hour Social Services have been called. That said, there’s no such thing as bad PR..

The Bastard Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Must be weird being unable to sleep because someone, somewhere in the world is doing something that offends your pseudo-Victorian values. Obviously not the ones relating to temperance or morals in general, just a very particular subset relating to fairly innocuous things that you yourself wouldn't choose to do, but which must somehow be prevented because... reasons. If only there was an option, like not buying a ticket or not going. Of all the atrocities going on in the world, the one that occupies attention (even from an MHK) is a few men and women in drag getting up on stage and singing a song. After all, the theatrical world has to this day remained a bastion of heterosexuality and it obviously needs to be protected. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can see, it's not the fact that a few men and women may perform - it's the age that seems to be the issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age isn't an issue, they're not having sex on stage, they're singing a song in a costume, just like those sick weirdos do at the Gaiety Theatre. Are you suggesting age restrictions to play Dick Whittington now ? Perhaps Pantomime dames have to stay under a maximum level of testosterone and are subject to random urine tests under threat of imprisonment ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the monologue in my head after a cocktail of Temazepam and meths would be more entertaining than the dreary carnival of gloom that dribbles on to your keyboard when your tank of bile overflows. Read the first couple of pages. Just general moaning about wokery, strippers and men in dresses - no mention of specific issues with age. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
