["The zombie movement still stalking our screens: The trans movement is dying, but no-one seems to have told TV executives"]

This Christmas, there was no end of transvestite propaganda in the mainstream media, and particularly on the BBC. Strictly Come Dancing’s Christmas special on Christmas Day was won by Tayce, a drag queen. Blankety Blank, aired on Boxing Day, featured drag queen The Vivienne as one of the celebrity panelists.

(Tragically, the man playing The Vivienne, James Lee Williams, died a few days later at the age of just 32. This led to several pages of tributes on BBC News. Former US president Jimmy Carter, who died the week before, received just two. The BBC pages about Williams referred to him at different points as ‘he’, ‘she’ and ‘they’, with initial reports suggesting that the person who had died was Williams’ drag queen persona, and not Williams himself.)

Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel, prime time on BBC One on December 28, featured a drag queen as one of the celebrities. On New Year’s Eve, the BBC broadcast quizzes including Mastermind and University Challenge. Both prominently featured male transvestites. The new series of Traitors started at the beginning of January, featuring a ‘trans man’ (a woman who believes she is male) as one of the contestants.

It wasn’t just the BBC. Netflix aired the new series Missing You, based on a novel by Harlan Coben, at the start of January, about a young female detective who’s trying to solve her father’s murder. We quickly meet one of her closest friends - a cross-dressing man who is taking part in a ‘girls’ night’ with female friends. In the novel, this character is a recreational transvestite, but the screen adaptation makes it clear he is ‘transgender’, and not only no threat to women but vulnerable to male violence himself. Meanwhile ITV either aired or had available on ITVX several recent episodes of mainly detective dramas in which a cross-dressing man is shoehorned into the story.

If this recent glut of womanface (with the exception of a solitary ‘trans man’) and the promise of future gender propaganda in the entertainment industry is all a bit depressing, it’s worth remembering that nowhere is more captured by this ideology than the arts. The exciting news that Graham Linehan is writing comedy again is reason to hope that sanity will prevail again soon.
