Olympic Opening Ceremony Director Brands Joan of Arc as One of France’s ‘Greatest Transvestites’​


The artistic director of the infamous Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony has admitted that the LGBT-themed performance was “political” and described Saint Joan of Arc as one of the “greatest transvestites” in French history.

Speaking to the Le Monde newspaper this week, Thomas Jolly acknowledged political bias his Opening Ceremony for the supposedly politically-neutral Olympics in Paris, which sparked international criticism over a performance seemingly intended to mock Christianity with a drag queen-themed apparent reimagining the Last Supper of Jesus Christ.

“Of course it was political, even if I don’t do proselytism,” the artistic director admitted in comments reported by Le Figaro.

Jolly defended the decision to promote an LGBTQ+ agenda, arguing that French history and culture contains many examples of “gender fluidity”, specifically citing 15th-century French Catholic Saint Joan of Arc.

“My mission was to say who we are. In all the paintings appeared different bodies, diversity, women and men in makeup or in costume. The theatre was everywhere, the question of genders as well. The French kings powdered and wore heels. Wasn’t Joan of Arc, one of the greatest transvestites in our history, condemned because she was dressed as a man?”

In fairness, transvestite is just someone who cross dresses. And that is what Joan was, a cross dresser. she didn't AFAIK claim to actually be a man.

My problem with the queer last supper wasn't with the fact that it was a twist on the last supper (because it's secular France and what's fair for Charlie Hebdo etc), but the gaslighting afterwards that the scene was really the feast of Dionysus. And the crowd that did it, did it from a snooty intellectual altitude implying that if you didn't know the Papa Smurf character was supposed to be Dionysus, and if you didn't know that the scene that looked remarkably like one of the most famous and frequently quoted and parodied images in Western culture was actually supposed to be one of a couple of somewhat similar but very obscure paintings then you were just a poorly educated rube. And the most galling thing of all was all the dog-pilers, not wanting to be thought of as poorly educated rubes, fell in with the spin they thought sounded like the most "intellectual" side and repeated those memes and talking points like it was knowledge that they, and anyone who was smart, had known since they were weened.

It's not new to this situation. I remember it from the new atheist days and other culture wars. There were genuine intellectuals with argument, some good and some bad, but there was always a seething froth of dim bulbs who had a side but no brains, yet who loved to grab onto anything that sounded to them erudite and intellectual and take to beating the opposition with it, not realising how wet the noodle they flailed actually was. Social media's click-to-share adrenaline machine has made the problem exponentially worse - combatants parrot the squawks of those their side has anointed as "expert". While the thinkers are weighing the evidence, Gish gallops over the finish line.
