INTOLERANT Woke Fringe Festival venue CANCELS Kate Forbes (no apology)
Duplicitous Summerhall Arts venue only tolerates society (and values humans) when it/she/her/they appeases itself and its absurd woke ideology, huh...
BBC: Cancel culture row over Kate Forbes Fringe event:
"An Edinburgh arts venue has indicated Scotland's deputy first minister Kate Forbes will not be invited back to speak at future events, because of opposition to her views on trans rights.
Ms Forbes, a devout Christian, was interviewed last Thursday at the Summerhall venue as part of the Herald newspaper's series of events at the Fringe festival.
The venue has now said the booking was "an oversight" and it would be reviewing its policies to ensure the "safety and wellbeing" of performers it works with.
Forbes said that attempts to "cancel" people because of their beliefs "undermines democracy"..."

The Guardian: No Apologies review – what if Kurt Cobain was transgender?
"Frankland knows the theory is unprovable, even a little absurd, but takes heart in the thought that it could be true. She refers to Cobain as she/her throughout...
Frankland can only fantasise about what it would have meant for her to have had a trans role model of such fame. What if Dave Grohl had revealed the secret to unsuspecting fans? What if Cobain herself had sung her truth? How different might trans solidarity have been?..
...she uses this idle fantasy as a way of talking about a deeper truth. ...she moves from humour to anger as she considers the stresses of not being seen, not being accepted, not being valued.
Even a female Icarus, she says in a twist on the classical myth, stretching her glorious wings and coming out to the world, might still be constrained, her feathers clipped by an intolerant society."

Virginia Wing: Ecstatic Arrow: Glorious Idea:
"Do you find it absurd?
To expect a response
When it's your turn to talk
I can't provide
A bench or sofa to recline
Soft furnishings feel hard
When the space is confined...
Here is what you want
What you want -
A mirror and to stay looking down
Reflections all around
But you can’t see a thing..."
