I’m so excited to finally be able to share the Feel Good 2 trailer with you! The show drops June 4th on Netflix worldwide. ❤️❤️❤️ Please like and share, and binge season 1 on Netflix to prepare!
BBC contributing to a salacious culture war here, if you ask me. Knowing this non-story will whip transphobes into a frenzy. Schools have been using “Dear Parent/Guardian” for years - it hurts nobody and is more accurate.
I can’t believe that in this moment
@jk_rowling
has decided the most useful thing to tweet to her 14.5 million followers is wilfully pedantic, gender critical TERF nonsense. The world is full of threats worth fighting against. Trans people are not a threat.
#TransWomenareWomen
This is so absurd and irresponsible I'm kind of speechless. Please please never forget that: the trans community is a tiny minority, an at risk population disproportionately facing violence and discrimination and does not pose ANY threat to lesbianism. Same re non binary people.
Guys, 2 people I said hi to on
@hinge
thought they were being catfished by someone pretending to be me, reported me to Hinge, and now Hinge has permanently deleted my account. I emailed Hinge “But I am me” and they said “our decision is final.” Am I Sharon Stone?
If you, like me, feel like JK Rowling is being pure Voldemort & you want to expelliarmus her v bad energy, how about donating to one of these awesome orgs supporting black trans people, a community that is disproportionately at risk of violence and murder
It begins… This is so troubling. Putting a price tag (photo ID costs money) on voting is prohibitive and undemocratic. Voter fraud is not a problem that needs fixing, it so so rarely happens. This reeks of voter suppression.
Happy International Women’s Day to cis women, trans women, nonbinary and intersex people who continue to suffer discrimination, violence and inequality. We’ve come a long way but still far to go, and crucial to be united in our parallel struggles, not divided! ❤️now here is Buffy
This is so lovely! Also - it's ok to mess up sometimes and not get it right, it's just nice and respectful to give it a shot, and not that hard once you start.

I'd like to say "Thank You" to

@AlexHorne
and
@gdavies
for showing me how to use the 'they/them' pronouns properly. I've always wanted to know but really had no one to ask. So for anyone else in my age group who may have not known, Boomers, we say thank you!! 🥰🫂
Sorry to be LAME but just want to say thank you to everyone who’s sent me nice messages or done art or tweeted and spread the word about Feel Good. Really appreciate it. ❤️

Mae was also a genuinely lovely soul before they had their breasts surgically removed. It makes me wonder - why can't a non-binary person have breasts? 🤔
My room mate just asked me what my happiest memory is and I said “watching Star Wars?” and she laughed because she thought I was joking. I laughed nervously along with her, then I went into my room, closed the door, and stared in the mirror in silence for 219 minutes.
As wildly modern as it would be to announce a break up during Las Culturistas Culture Award, this is very much untrue. Just a joke edited in a way that made it look real? I haven't seen it but hopefully they left in the part where I say I'm obsessed and have never been happier.
Parvati Shallow and Mae Martin have seemingly announced their break up while accepting their Las Culturistas Culture Award via separate video messages (?)
It makes my blood BOIL to think that anyone is feeling sadder on Valentine’s Day than other days because of the weird V Day pressure. Smother your friends with funny memes and phone calls today and remember this day means nothing and I love you all.
As devastated as I am not to be able to participate because of scheduling conflicts and being based in the states now, I am THRILLED beyond belief at

Some people have been DMing me saying I’m not being vocal enough re who I’m voting for in the U.S. election this week. For clarity: I am Canadian. I can’t vote in America. But with every desperate fibre of my soul I urge those who can to vote

, eh?
This is truly getting wild, she’s fixated. It’s bumming me out. I dread the press tour for this book giving her more opportunity to stir up paranoia and division.
It’s happening! First one hour stand up special coming to Netflix March 28th, directed by Abbi Jacobson. Mark your calendars, let’s have a viewing party!
I know it’s a tricky one, genuinely, weighing in about these things, but I do think that if more male comedians weighed in about people like James Veitch and offered their support to women then it might at the very least discourage some of our colleagues from rape and assault.
Ep 5 of Feel Good airs at 10pm on Channel 4 in the U.K.! It’s maybe my favourite ep, there’s stand up and drugs and crying and sex and worms. Even if you’ve already streamed it why not watch it live with me! 💜
When Notre Dame burned down almost £1 BILLION was raised in donations. Now the rainforest is on fire and the lack of action is shocking. How can we help? Link below has info about 6 charities you can donate to, to help keep the lungs of our planet alive.
I’ve no idea of the origins of this but this wonderful lady made me laugh so much, I want to share the joy. We need a little titter and I hope this 29 second clip brightens up your day.
For those who listened to
@OffMenuOfficial
here is the photo I took of James in Sydney looking like a Prince after enjoying prawns, and here is the little clay man.
Sending all of these women, including one very close friend, so much love today. Charlie Hanson is a serial predator and his actions (including rape, a word the article shies away from, saying instead “sex to which she did not consent”) will have had long lasting consequences.
Season ☝️and Season 🤘out NOW worldwide on Netflix. Thanks so much to everyone involved in making it, and thank you SO MUCH to all of you for watching it. It means a huge amount to me that the show means something to you.
until feel good if never seen myself in a character before. i instantly saw so much of myself in mae & their storyline. feel good means so much to me in so many ways so i got this tattoo so i’ve always got a bit of the show with me 🥰💛
Can’t think of a joke about this, because it’s not funny to me at the moment 🤪. I’m sorry to the young comics he assaulted, who lost so much & have to see this headline today/everyone who’s had a similar experience because of a spineless response from our community to assault.
Instead, can the final question be “why is
@bbcquestiontime
giving air time to/ indulging the ridiculous and damaging idea that the existence of LGBT+ people is a moral issue?”
@TheMaeMartin
Your self-righteous put down of Polanski on 'Inside Cinema' exposes you as a nasty unforgiving creep given that Polanski's name has been publicly trash since 1976

New low from Linehan. Deeply unsettling how committed he is to invalidating trans and non binary identities with hateful and misinformed campaigns. I genuinely find it very spooky. 👇thread
For my twitter people who don’t follow the transphobia wars, just a heads up about the point we’ve reached: TV’s popular Graham Linehan is joining lesbian dating apps in order to ‘make a point’ and/or screenshot all the women he finds insufficiently feminine for his tastes
"My father, thankfully, is not alive to see how Mr. Yoho treated his daughter. My mother got to see Mr. Yoho's disrespect on the floor of this House towards me on television. I am here because I have to show my parents that...that they did not raise me to accept abuse from men."
World’s most well known transphobe JK Rowling given an award by the BBC commemorating the ‘bravery’ of her hate speech while BBC staff prevented from attending Pride events because it was deemed too ‘political’. How did we get here? 🙈
@jonkay
Watch the doc before summarising it? Nobody saying that humans are like clownfish. Just a fantastically well researched doc about diversity in nature, feat. some incredibly knowledgeable scientists. Experts in their field who MAY even know more than you or I about the subject!
Hey new followers if you’re in the mood check out my stand up special Dope on Netflix listed under “comedians of the world U.K.” OR Feel Good on C4 (U.K.) & Netflix everywhere else! Also my book “Can Everyone Please Calm Down” on Amazon, and I’m going on tour this autumn! 😍
Well this comment thread is a steaming pile of poo, but I really liked wearing this yellow shirt, thanks
@BritishGQ
Also I do really really love talking about things other than identity, but when I’m asked about identity I’ll talk about identity, you know?
The multi-talented, multi-hyphenate creator of Netflix’s acclaimed comedy Feel Good,
@TheMaeMartin
, is rewriting how we talk (and joke!) about identity. Truth is, they’re still working it out themself:

Would be good if my male peers were as vocal about the industry we all love so much being polluted by sex criminals. Might lead to more consequences/a safer more fun environment. Might be easier to be vocal if they were asked about it in interviews as much as me (every interview)
When people say “a little bird told me it was your birthday” etc it really stresses me out because I don’t particularly want birds to be going around talking about my business, you know what I mean?

The tsunami of vitriolic trolling I’ve got in the last few days for vocally supporting trans people really only confirms for me the importance of that vocal support. 💙 If anyone is confused about what the JK uproar is about this is a really good article
Yeah

Even if you are a mask-sceptic/feel the jury is out in terms of their efficacy, why not get on board during this complex moment for humanity and wear a mask anyway? Just on the off chance that you could save one life/reduce the spread of the virus? Please?
Ummm yes we have actually known this since the beginning of civilisation. Can any scientists currently working on “whether bisexuality is real” just drop what you’re doing and focus a bit more on how to stop the global pandemic/climate change?
This is heartbreaking. Sending Charlie Graham so much love. We need strong, vocal, energised allies, more representation, and zero tolerance for homophobic and transphobic rhetoric and behaviour.

- I took it very seriously and forgot it was a comedy show so if you’re a task purist I’m your guy
I wish I could stumble upon some cupboard in my brain that I’ve never been in before, and it’s full of facts and jokes and mysteries and riddles and stuff.
