Dublin zoo Mother’s Day

What a bizarre thing to be upset about.

Mammies get in free on Mother’s Day, man dresses as a woman to try and get a free ticket. That’s the joke.

If you see this and your first thought is that this is an outrageous affront to women(and a f*cking ad for the Zoo is somewhere you expect to see your views on gender represented) I can only suggest it’s time to delete all your social media accounts and spend some time outside.

The vast, vast majority of the country don’t care about this, with good reason. It’s a massive non-story.

I mean this in the nicest possible way...

Get a fúcking grip

Certainly that’s was my take on it-but in today’s world unfortunately that’s now classed as insulting

But he doesn’t identify as a woman and nothing in the ad suggests he does - it is so obviously a man in drag, you’re supposed to recognise it as a man in a dress.

So if you’re looking at it and then inserting your own opinion about gender identity and then getting offended, then that’s a you problem.(not saying you are but anyone who looks at it and thinks that that Zoo genuinely meant this ad as an expression of motherhood).

Did they?

So far all I see is the terminally outraged being told to do one.

Is this comment for real? That guy could never be a mother. Yes we are all aware of that, isnt that the gag? Did you have some Yankee YouTuber remove your sense of humour?

I'm sure if you named a decade, I could name a famous drag performer. Pretty much all are comedians.

Dublin Zoo used a drag performer as a laugh. The right wing are just delicate snowflakes looking for a reason to get outraged. They need to get over themselves and stop getting butthurt over every tiny little thing. Was anyone hurt? no. Was the promotion successful? yes. Are there still mothers? yes. Was this even about trans people? No.

It's womens month and none of these idiots are out campaigning for better protections for women, better access to reproductive healthcare, better consent training, reducing the gender gap in the dail, etc…

Ken O'Flynn TD has never campaigned on any of these topics. He was against repealing the 8th. He's just another right winger who dislikes any minority and never actually does anything to help people.

Men still enter the women's marathon in drag and the organisers appreciate it as awalys, as it means extra donations. The organisers were never opposed to it. What an odd and blatantly untrue narrative to spin.

The thing is, the only people who are getting annoyed are particularly odd right wingers. Absolutely nobody cares. I could show that to my 79 year old mother and she really wouldn't care. So it's more like you're trying to find an issue from every angle but it boils down to some puritanical extremists getting outraged.
