I was trying to work up a syllogism to explain how he was actually performing gender ambiguity himself, as a subtle political statement. Something along the lines of:
"Ooh, a lady with a [physical characteristic we generally think of as exclusively male]" = "Ooh, a man who is a [physical characteristic we generally think of as exclusively female]."
Unfortunately, that would require using the words for various ladyparts in their demeaning sense, and that I cannot do, even in jest. At least not in polite mixed company.

Viva Frida Kahlo! And ta, Robyn -- I'd momentarily forgotten about JD. Hot as, and even more so in concert. "Watch it on a video!"
I did wonder, looking at the waves of forehead crashing upon the shores of Henry's steadily retreating coiffure, whether there wasn't perhaps a bit of thinly disguised hair envy going on there...

the surfees are arguing about what the brown sludge they are swimming in is ....
As Spike Milligan once put it, are they actually swimming in the sea or just going through the motions?

Yay Bridget! See also Mil Millington's survey on the subject of female hirsuteness.

I can attest to the fact that my bro is a born-again westie, his neighbours are westies, and even his cats are quite westie. You can take the boy out of Papatoetoe, but he'll probably move in a westerly direction anyway.
I also suspect that the "given value of normal" that Paul Henry represents is not entirely unknown among people who pass as cultured lefties. Behind closed doors, and all that.
And as a software guy, I prefer Recursive Douche
Am picturing a fractal composed of increasingly teensy douches. It's actually kinda pretty.
De-threadjacking and echoing Philip's point above, this is the morning news show on the nation's flagship TV station, right?

Or epitaph for his career?
-
is there any plausible explanation as to why anyone would willingly watch this creep on TV?
I only watch the bit with the brilliant gadget guy. Cos he's awesome.

And now it appears that he is trying to compensate for the self-imagined loss of masculinity brought about by losing that particular race to Georgina Beyer.
Simon, bingo! So I wasn't imagining the hyperbolic sex-gender-panic subtext.

Oh, and his dismissive response to the letter from the woman with PCOS (which pointed out that for many women, excess facial hair is merely the unwelcome visible manifestation of a thoroughly distressing condition)? Classy.

Ugh. Paul Henry. Puerile is the word that springs to mind. It's not (just) that he read out the letter; it was the sniggering glee with which he did so. He looked like an overexcited schoolboy passing on a thrilling rumour. Guess what, mummies and daddies have hair on their weewees! Shriek! Giggle! Urgent pocket jiggle!
I did think it entirely apt that he followed up by checking under the desk for his "hooter." It would surely shrivel up and fall off entirely, were he to encounter a real woman with a beard, or indeed one of our more forthright trannies...
