    Happening a little bit in Aus too. Super weird. Trans and cross dressing and every flavour of divergence from the norm has been generally pretty accepted in most metropolitan areas my whole life.

    Suddenly everyone wants to get their pronouns in a twist and it’s this big deal.

    We can’t seem to just let the USA have their own culture war, we import all of it. Sky News has a lot to answer for.

      Drag has been a cultural icon in Australia for generations. Priscilla was a hit movie nearly 30 years prior to this bullshit drag/trans-phobia. Too many people drinking the Sky News American-adopted coolaid and Facebook fearmongering. It doesn’t help that shitheap news services like Channel 7 give the transphobes a platform under the false guise of “neutrality”
