There’s much that could be commented on – the raging at the innocuous, the dishonest use of the word hate, the projection, the nails and five o’clock shadow combo, the theatrical sweater-pulling and the ostentatiously deep breath, as if superhuman patience were being tested.
To say nothing of the seeming belief that he – Mr Zara Paquette – were barking his instructions directly to Kiera Knightley, as if she would be watching and dutifully taking notes. Like a good, obedient woman.
But what strikes me most is the fact that Mr Paquette doesnโt seem to understand that what he wants โ i.e., the ability to coerce and dictate, to bully others into lying โ is not something that he should want.
Wanting the power to make others tell quite blatant lies about what is and isn’t real, and to thereby make those people cowed and absurd, is what makes him a bad person. A villain in this low-grade cross-dressing drama.
That this should even need saying is itself quite remarkable. Yet here we are.
Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.

This is the true Toxic Masculinity.
And the hair flick.
Wonder how long it took to perfect that artful shudder at the notion his donning his granny’s knickers does not, in fact, make him a woman.
Antipsychotic drugs often have weight gain as a side effect. Just saying.
Is there an implied comma in the title?

He’s needs to increase the dosage, obviously.
Nuts.
And the hair flick.
Not to mention using female voice overdubs instead of using his own decidedly non-female voice.
I thought Tony Slattery had died.
He is right that this is not merely a difference of opinion, but wrong in the reasons. As David points out, the truth claim being made is demonstrably false, which the UK courts have properly decided. People are, in fact, being harmed by the claim that men are women, which the producer of the video ignores in favour of being a victim.
What it feels like to argue with a trans activist.
