Of Course: Life of Brian Stage Show Forced to Delete Scene About Transgender Insisting On His "Right" To Get Pregant

Remember, it's the right that's responsible for censorship.

Although the right is concerned with books that government funded schools can offer to children, whereas the left is censoring private speech so that adults can't hear it.

Which they insist is the right speech to censor.

Monty Python stars John Cleese and Eric Idle have been workshopping new scenes and plotlines for a blockbuster stage show based on the classic 1979 film Life Of Brian.

There is a new character -- Fiona Pilate, Pilate's wife -- who falls in love with Brian. And, spoiler alert, Brian does not get crucified. But rest assured he will still sing Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life.

Cleese, 83, the prime mover in the revival, said: 'I think Life Of Brian is our best film. We are going to do it in London in the second half of next year and I've changed certain things.'

One exchange which has had to come out is the discussion between People's Front of Judea members Stan (played by Idle) and Reg (Cleese). Stan says that he wants to be known as Loretta and to have babies. 'It's every man's right to have babies if you want them,' says Stan. Reg counters: 'But -- you can't have babies.' At which Stan responds: 'Don't you oppress me.'

Cleese told an audience at his one-man show last week that when the scene (co-written with the late Graham Chapman) was performed at a read-through for the new show in New York last year, doubts emerged. 'At the end, I said to the American actors: 'What do you think?' And they said: 'We love the script, but you can't do that stuff about Loretta nowadays.'

'So here you have something there's never been a complaint about in 40 years, that I've heard of, and now all of a sudden we can't do it because it'll offend people. What is one supposed to make of that? But I think there were a lot of things that were actually, in some strange way, predictive of what was actually going to happen later.'

Indeed. Below, a mentally-ill man, who I'll call Stan Called Loretta, says that he's going to induce lactation so that he can breastfeed. Apparently he's using a technique that women can use. He is blowing over the part about women using this technique.

Remember: Transgender "therapy" is sold by Big Mutilation as a cure-all, a panacea, for all other mental illnesses.

How's that workin' out?
