Love that daisy fabric on you
The guy dressed as a baby at the “trans rights” protest is very indignant that people noticed he was dressed as a baby.
Is it?
I don’t know; maybe. For a day at the beach or a pool party it may be. For other purposes? I would think not. Mostly, adults don’t want to be seen as pretending to be children, or dressing up to look like children, for a whole host of reasons. Maybe that’s unfair, maybe we should be more relaxed about the self-presentation of adults just as we should be more relaxed about men who say they are women…but I don’t think that case has been made yet.
Meanwhile he says no you’re the pedophiles.
Me? I didn’t rape him. I’ll cop to boring, for sure, but raping Pastel Rompers Guy, no.
Anyway, never mind all that, the important thing is he looked FABulous.
And nine-fingered people aren’t statistically likely to rob you, but that’s not because they’re more law-abiding than ten-fingered people.
I hesitate to mention that one button on his romper straps says “CATBOY,” and another says “SLUT.”
I don’t think I would want him near my cats, let alone my boy.
He does make a fine figurehead for the trans people though.
Yeah, I came to comment on the slut badge as well. I do wonder what the other ones say. Years ago there was a thankfully brief trend to have t-shirts for tween girls that said things like tramp and slut on them. It was wrong and concerning then and has hopefully disappeared. An adult can of course choose to brand themselves as a slut. It advertises their status and probably helps them attract they type of interaction they crave. Combine that with the baby role playing and good knows what else and I’ll keep every child and vulnerable person I know well away from them.
The trouble is that trans people are in fact statistically likely to sexually abuse children. A given child who is abused is more likely to be abused by someone not-trans, but the propensity for sexual violence is higher in the trans population, Why exactly that is is open to interpretation, but those are the statistics.
Well, I will confess to being white, but not to boring, and I certainly never raped anyone, least of all him.
I wonder if he goes the whole diaper thing too.
TiMs in prison seem to be sex offenders at a higher rate than males in the general population. The proportion of these sex offenders who “discover” their transness after their arrest, and realization that they get to be housed in women’s prisons, thereby having access to more targets, might skew the numbers a bit. It always amazes me how TAs always claim this scenario is unlikely, or far fetched, and that it would never happen. Trans activists can hardly say these offenders are not “really” trans, when self ID has no standards, or burdens of proof, beyond declaring they are “women?” No true trans? Yeah, right. They seek to gatekeep transness, just as they accuse women of gatekeeping womanhood. Yet they’re happy to have those very same offences chalked up to female crime statistics.
Yeah, sorry, but an adult who dresses as a baby with a “slut” button should in fact have their hard drive examined,
Babies + sexually suggestive labels = nope.
I’m beginning to think the “slippery slope” argument made by right-wingers made against gay rights may have had a grain of truth to it. Gay rights sans gatekeeping turned into this shit…
@Blood Knight:
Although the trans movement tries to claim a direct association with gay rights, I don’t buy it. The differences are more significant than the similarities. I also don’t accept their comparison to DSD rights, civil rights, or anything else both positive and vaguely similar if you squint and look sideways.
I don’t understand. What sort of “gatekeeping” is needed in gay rights?
The “T” just should’ve never been allowed to be added… Maybe that isn’t really gatekeeping, I dunno.
BKiSA is wrong.
The biggest issue is that LGB has nothing in common with TQI+.
LGB are all about sexual orientation, the rest of the alphabet soup is about illness in one form or another.
LGB are fine as they are, TQI+ all need medical intervention of one sort or another.
Sastra @9 Not to mention the faction of trans cultists who claim to be feminists, a particularly frustrating flavor of hypocrisy.
The slippery slope is a new thing. When NAMBLA tried to tag along with gay rights, back in the 70s, it didn’t take a huge crisis to send them packing. This is all on trans-cultism.
John t, you make a good point. Back in the bad old days, it was possible to keep the focus on adult people who just wanted equality to love each other. As you say, the pedos were sent packing.
Once you open up the door to people demanding something fundamentally irrational, like that other people have to call someone who is male female (or it is totally like murder), then where do you draw the line? Apparently, on the other side of grown-up people calling themselves children or babies. Is there any basis at all, anymore for saying “this guy clearly has a problem,” or, in the posted version, “check the hard drive?” Reason has been thrown out as a guide, so irrationality will run rampant, bringing just plain creepiness with it.
Where are this child’s parents? Do they know that he escaped his crib and has been putting on theater productions in the park? Do they know he’s a “sex worker on hiatus?” Is he even old enough to have a twitter account? (the minimum is 13 years old) Looks like bad parenting to me, or maybe that’s his point. :P
And why is this credulous Clara Vulliamy goon so excited about the baby’s adventures and outfit? That “omg you look fabulous! I love that daisy fabric on you 3 heart-eyes emojis” shit – what is THAT about? What adult woman talks to an adult man that way? What adult man welcomes it?
I suppose the answer is: when way too many people decided that sexual fantasies are POLITICAL.
(He’s a “sex worker on hiatus?” How did I miss that?)
It’s George Dawes!
(Only British people of a certain age will understand the reference).
It’s just a symptom of a bigger problem, the infantilization of American culture (and, apparently, world culture, since this is so prominent in Canada, Scotland, and England). We have regressed back to infancy. The original moves toward a more relaxed, looser society were good, but the pendulum swung too far. Instead of relaxed and loose, allowing people freedom to be who they are, we have become an infantile, narcissistic culture, constantly connected, constantly getting high from the “likes”, and constantly needing someone to tell us how great we are in our egocentric, selfish self.
Vulliamy is UKnian though, which only makes it odder – gushing is generally not a UK virtue, to put it mildly. The main thing UK people brag about is being a people who never brag.
@16, I had to google that, his profile says “SW” on hiatus. @17 I had to google that too, I see the likeness. :D
Too bad the miracle of the interwebs developed the disease of “social” media, which I think is largely to blame for what Ikn points out @18… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The big baby has me blocked. Usually when a stranger has blocked me, I assume they subscribe to one of the dozens of blocklists I seem to be on, but in this case… That username, looks awfully familiar, I’m fairly sure I’ve interacted with Junior at some point. Obviously, it did not end well.
But when I was looking at names, Vulliamy’s struck me. I think she was one of the people who went after Rachel Rooney in a big way, wasn’t she? I might never know, because she’s blocked me too. It could be because of that, I certainly remember being angry enough to buy the book, even though I have no children and know nobody with children that age (I gave it to a charity shop). And I was definitely cross at a lot of people, perhaps she was one of them.
Yes, yes she was. I searched my posts yesterday because I thought I’d done one about her but wasn’t sure. I had, and that’s what it was about. Last December.
Vulliamy (but not big baby) has me blocked. Since my interactions are essentially nil, it must be because of a block list.
Over on Overit they’re saying that the Big Baby is actually a TIF, a trans man. They’ve also hunted down part of the outfit and it’s from a website of “cute” clothing for teen girls, so there’s now the possibility that it’s bad fashion sense instead of sexual fetish.
But, even if so, iknklast’s comment #18 re the “infantaization of (world) culture” is spot on.
I skimmed his Twitter feed, and he says quite emphatically that he does not identify as a baby and just liked the clothes (as Sastra speculated). He says he’s not into “age play” at all.
He also has a beard, which I hadn’t noticed due to to him wearing a mask in the still photos and due to it not being obvious in video (it sort of looks like a shadow under his chin). He has other photos where the beard is visible, which makes him look less like a baby.
So I guess it’s somewhat better that it’s apparently just poor fashion choices, but, still, come on, recognize you look like a baby and leave the “slut” button at home if you don’t want to give off a strong pedophile vibe.
