Polite Conversations With Eiynah Episode 27: Islamaphobia with ContraPoints
Vintage ContraPoints podcast appearance
So Eiynah is an immigrant from Saudi Arabia who had her own podcast and still pretty active on Twitter
@nicemangoes. In early 2017, she invited ContraPoints to discuss his channel, politics, and crossdressing on her podcast.
The first 3/4 of the episode is pretty boring but some things that stand out are
a) "Homo- white nationalism" - the political belief that believes Western nations are superior to Third World nations because Hwoits are more accepting of homosexuality
b) The hypocrisy of MRAs who tell women how much freedom and how many rights they have in the West as opposed to the women in Third World countries who experience violence and oppression. (Apparently MRAs want women to remain oppressed so they gaslight women into believing they have so many rights in comparison to Africa and Asia.) "They appeal to values that they know you hold to oppose you and confuse you" -- Parrott, 2017
c) Eiynah laments that she is so tired from "fighting every side," because as a brown liberal female feminist, she gets opposition from conservatives; but she still regularly gets called racist and transphobic by the left because the left is more willing to attack people they know they actually have power over.
d) Parrott discusses "token diversity" characters like Milo Yiannopoulos and gets especially excited when talking about how terrible Blaire White is and how White is "the trans Milo Yiannopoulos."
e) Eiynah discusses Parrot’s costumes in his videos. This is right before his video
What The Alt Right Fears was in production. Eiynah suggested he wear a hijab. Parrot thought he would get what the 2017 internet would call “cancelled.”
In the beginning of the second half, Parrott shared his background and the half PhD he earned. We also learn that his most recent cancellation had been a tweet whereupon he
called himself a “mangirl” and was now being accused of transphobia.
Oh, does anyone else remember “call out” culture before cancel culture? This was another topic they touched upon.
But for the majority of the episode, Parrott and Eiynah complained about woke politics, and Eiynah expressed that she hated the new terms “birth giver” and “birthing person” (this aged well) because it felt degrading as a woman (oh how the tables have turned).
For the final quarter of the podcast, the two discuss Parrott's crossdressing and BDSM. Some thoughts to take away.
1. There are a lot of straight men who crossdress
2. Parrott admitted he didn't start crossdressing until his twenties when his girlfriends began putting him in their dresses and makeup
3. He was surprised that he liked it and wondered why he hadn't crossdressed sooner
4. Parrott identified as a "cishet male" but also admitted he didn't have a strong sense of "gender identity" (who can relate?) and it was more just "living as a man."
5. He didn't dress "as a woman." He dressed in a subversive way in clothes and fashion men aren't allowed to wear
- He also said he thought he looked better in women's clothes because of how gracile he was, and that he got lost in men's clothing. This is noteworthy and proves for the millionth time that
William Nicholas Parrott did not have gender dysphoria. He was comfortable with his body and enjoyed "gender fuckery," as he called it.
Eiynah (she is totally attracted to him) said that her preferred type was less masculine artistic guys, and she told him that wearing dresses and makeup shows that Parrott is comfortable in his masculinity. Parrott agreed and joked "I have the balls to wear dresses."
His family and friends watched his videos and they were all pretty progressive blah blah blah
Parrott brings up fetlife and the non-feminist nature of the majority of women being subs and the majority of men being doms, and how meeting "doms" on fetlife could be a cover for predators to go out and brutally abuse women in the name of "kink." (Thunkprovoking on did Parrott use fetlife during this era to meet up with women who would play along in his feminisation dynamic? He speaks somewhere else of living a double life where he crossdressed when going out at night, engaging in hookup culture, and having a number of female partners sissify him).
They discussed how straight men were often put off by Parrott's videos because he confused them with his dresses, makeup, and posing. Parrott says that "As a straight guy, I know what guys are into. And there's a certain way of dressing and posing that they're attracted to." Basically men are dogs and attracted to anything in a dress. He also mentioned skeptically that he had several "straight" guys reach out to him saying that they would bang him in a dress.
Oh, a small round of complaining about the new Rocky Horror film starrying LaVerne Cox. Parrott didn't like that a trans woman was playing Frankenfurter because "Frankenfurter isn't a woman" and he hated that genderfuckery was being taken over by transness.
Hwaaaat, you mean you're annoyed that people are erasing gender non-comformity by calling everything transgender?
Final two minutes, we get into the deep dark depths of Parrott's relationship with porn and diqs, and that he "doesn't know what to do with a diq" and "diqs turn me off." (So can it be inferred that he was a regular consumer of lesbian porn..?)
"I don't do diqs" - Nick Parrott, Jan/Feb 2022
Conclusion: Compared to the recent weeping on the JK Rowling Witch Trials podcast, Parrott was a completely different guest in 2017. He was relaxed, had a good sense of humor, and showed interest in the conversation. It's easy to see how viewers from this era would have perceived him as someone fun to get drinks with and chat informally. The transformation from February to May (when he first came out as genderqueer--also the first time he said he had "mild gender dysphoria" around body hair) is difficult to follow.
How does a guy so comfortable in his masculinity enough to enjoy the subversion of being a man in women's clothes, who finds the woke left foolish and annoying, who can have open discussions about anything, end up transitioning and becoming this recluse who compares JK Rowling to Hitler and barely pumps out one video a year?
