I was going to spend some time replying to comments this morning, but this poked me in the eye.

Mental note to myself : do not look at Twitter until you’ve read and replied to SubStack comments.
In a live show aired on Channel 4 in the UK a performer stripped on stage and employed a novel approach to keyboard playing.
Perhaps my budding career as a Concert Penis never took off because my piano teacher (I still remember you with great fondness, Mrs Fotheringham) never whipped out her cock and showed me how to add that little something extra to Beethoven.
Of course, Lord Fortescue-Terf warned us about this back in 1982 when Channel 4 was first established: I’m still shocked that I’ve seen a lady’s knee on television. What next? Are women going to whip out their meat and 2 veg whilst I’m eating caviar?
These days we’re more enlightened, and if you ladies want to get your todgers out and use them as a tin-opener or a TV remote, then have at it - even on live television.
This latest display of female empowerment underlines the importance of 17th wave feminism. We can only hope that the 18th wave brings about much-needed female engorgement.
Jesus H. Christ on a jet-fuelled skateboard - just why?
What was the point of this display?
Yes, if one has a briefs-baton you can slap it on the table, use it to point to a location on a map, or stir your coffee. All things you could do with one. Heck, if you’re musically inclined you could even use it as a metronome.
But why in the name of Biden’s Olfactory Proboscis would you want to?
And, perhaps more to the point, why would you think others want to see it?
I’ve no idea, but I imagine the Chippendales have thought of some quite creative alternative uses for their equipment, but if you go to one of their performances you know exactly what you’re letting yourself in for. It’s a kind of mutual contract between audience and performers.
It may be that Channel 4 warned viewers (and the studio audience) beforehand, but the originality, humour, and creativity of this ‘performance’ was lost on me. It’s the sort of thing a schoolboy might do, egged on by his mates - and, in the past, it certainly wouldn’t have been applauded by the school Head. Although these days, the kids would probably just be taught how to give head.
I might be reading far too much into this, but there’s a sense of
you will find this funny and entertaining. If you don’t, you’re a transphobic bigot
We need to add, yet another, right to the list of Trans rights; the right to display your lady sausage to all and sundry and be applauded for it.
I’m now off to go practice Pair in a G-String for next week’s performance.
I suppose this was supposed to be edgy/transgressive tv, instead it was just a narcistic, misogynistic, sexualised, exhibitionistic performance by a superficial mediocre artist man/transwoman who exposed their real penis and fake breasts on live television.
The whole thing screamed "look at me!", but the lyrics were most revealing:

"I finally realise, I'm better than you"
"This song's about me"
"Me, me, me, me, me, me"
"I'm a perfect woman - my tits will never shrink."
"I do anal by default"
It's really not any wonder a growing number of feminists are taking a stand. With transwomen like Jordan Gray who needs misogynistic men.
You are reading a bit too much into this. It's just a new way to signal one's allegiance with Plucky Brave Hero Fighting For Democracy, Volodomyr Zelensky, and declare"I stand with Ukraine" by re-enacting his most memorable performance:
