Kellie-Jay Keen: Men should have manly voices

So-called "gender critical" people don't support the right to wear whatever you want, free of gender stereotypes. Recently, I wrote: "WDI Co-Author Doesn't Support Dressing However You Like". It's a 7-minute read on Medium.

This issue is persistent. On August 9, Kellie-Jay Keen tweeted:

KJK tweets: That voice ... (with vomit emoji)

She was referring to Seann Altman (who uses he/him pronouns), an actor in a Disney ad who deliberately dressed up like Minnie Mouse. Kellie-Jay Keen didn't like his voice in the ad. Someone argued, well, maybe he sounds like that because he has a gay man's voice. Kellie-Jay Keen insisted: No, this is a man imitating a woman. He sounds coquettish, i.e., flirty. (Of course. He was imitating Minnie Mouse in a paid performance.)

One Twitter user responds: Voice of a gay man. KJK replies: That’s not the problem with his voice, ffs.  Its coquettish to suit the girls clothes. The other user replies: A lot of gay men, at least in America, sound precisely like this...

KJK wants a man to wear men's clothes and have a man's voice. She expects conformity to gender stereotypes.

Arty Morty on August 10:

Arty Morty @artymortyarty tweets: Do gay men's voices make you vomit? I am really not interested in acrobatics to justify this. I'm really really not. If you haven't figured out by now, I don't play favourites and I call homopobia out whenever I see it. And this is nakedly crossing the line.

Then, on August 11:

tweets: Gender Critical Posie Parker commenting on a cis gay man being gender nonconforming. So much for 'wear what you want'?
Aidan Comerford tweets Aug 14, 2023: Posie Parker is the defacto leader of the 'gender critical' movement, and says [that] she never agreed with @jk_rowling saying 'dress however you please.' Rowling? Silent.
'It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.'
Joss Prior tweets: Saturday Night Meltdown Special: Double-Bill. Posies almost constant homophobia has pricked Arty Mortys rapier-like spidey-senses.. and there's a falling out between the tradwives and the gays, underneath the Beige Umbrella of transphobia. Gender Non-conformity is non gratis.
Joss Prior tweets: Moving on from attacking all Gender non-conformity.. She eventually lumbers into what demographic has really given her the chub-rub, and ...astonishingly..its a group of people who fail to reach the Gender-critical gold-standard of white, cisgender and heterosexual..(and beige.)

Gender-critical people do not actually support your right to wear whatever you like. They support gender stereotypes.

Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull aka Posie Parker spent 80 minutes streaming with this guy. (Holly Lawford-Smith proudly claims KJKM as a close ally.) www.thepinknews.com/2019/10/15/g...
