Well, Channel 9 showed that they won the Gold Logie for Bigotry last year when they allowed the vile comments of Sonya Kruger about Islam to be broadcast, and then incredibly not fire her. She said she was ‘worried’ about Islamic terrorism. Wow. It makes me feel nauseous just to repeat that. What a racist, awful troglodyte she is!
I didn’t think Channel 9 could sink any lower. But they just have.
They are, incredibly, in 2017, using a song by a priveliged rich dead white man to denigrate at-risk transgender Australians, most of whom are still unprotected by Safe Schools. Now as you know, I’m not afraid to reprint anything (except cartoons of Mohammed) so I am going to do just that. Here are the disgraceful lyrics in question:
::Trigger warning::
“We’re all someone’s daughter, we’re all someone’s son”
::Trigger warning over::
Yep. What you just read is actually being sung boldly and with gusto on TV in 2017. During prime time!
If you’re like me, you probably cried long and hard when you first heard those four awful ‘celebretards’ singing that lyric from John Farnham’s antique hit song You’re The Voice.
I mean, what is a young, innocent, vulnerable gender-confused Australian supposed to think when they hear these lyrics? That maybe their biological gender is their actual gender? That maybe when the cis-centric doctors gendered them at birth that they were right? That maybe their confusion about their gender is nothing more than an illusion, a chimera? That maybe there really are only two genders?
Like, I feel like I’m living in the 19th century or something!
I can’t believe I have to say this in 2017, but you are wrong Channel 9! Gender is whatever the individual wants it to be! The individual xirself and only xe gets to decide that! A person can even be agender now! Is an agender person ‘someone’s daughter or son’? Well?
I mean, this is beyond the pale, not to mention dangerous. I expect the suicides to start any day now. I am outraged and disgusted!
But that’s not even all there is to this. The singers of this vile hymn to transgender hatred were all — get this — oppressed minorities! Yes, you read that right. All four singers were oppressed minorities: two POCs, a woman, and a gay man! Yes, Boy George, the so-called Hero of Homosexuality, is actually a transphobic bigot! And delighted to be one, if the video which accompanies that song is any indication!
How Channel 9 had the gall to get four minorities to proclaim trans-hatred on prime time is staggering, particularly after the comments of that outrageous hag Sonya Kruger.
We have to stop them. Twitter is the answer! Let’s Tweet day and night until Channel 9 is forced to grovellingly apologise in disgrace! Let’s Tweet during lunchtime and late at night! Let’s Tweet while driving — yeah, you heard me, coppers! Not sure what to tweet? Here’s a few you can use for free:
Now there’s one Seal I’d like to club. #endtransphobia
Do you really want to hurt me? Because you just did, Boy George! #endtransphobia
Hey cancer! Come out of remission to #endtransphobia now!
No No No, Kelly Rowland! Transphobia is not ok and neither are you. #endtransphobia
Actually transgenders are ‘never gonna survive’ due to suicide, Seal. #endtransphobia
What about an age of reason instead of an age of transphobic bigotry, Channel 9? #endtransphobia
I’d like to look down the barrel of a gun to you, Channel 9. #endtransphobia
I’ve got you started, so now let’s get this thing rolling! With your help, and also the help of corporations with lots of money, the ABC, the Greens, Labor and the universities, we can have this outrage taken off the air, and stop Channel 9 before they add another hate crime to their growing list.
