No-ones supporting him though. Unless I'm just blocked and can't see any supportive comments.

NotMeOhNo · 23/12/2018 21:01

He implies she's now a supporter of TRA. Wonder why he would do that?

GCAcademic · 23/12/2018 21:03

How fucking gracious of him.

ToeToToe · 23/12/2018 21:08

My understanding is that Martina deleted 2 tweets, but has not changed her opinion that men with penises should not be allowed to say they are women, and join women's sport's tournaments.

hackmum · 23/12/2018 21:09

These men really are in love with their own self image, aren’t they? What a pompous little prick he is.

ZuttZeVootEeeVro · 23/12/2018 21:12

"rant" is strange word to use about a tweet.

and yes, he's not getting much love on twitter in response to his comment.

GenderIsAPrison · 23/12/2018 21:15

What is the point of Peter really? What value does he think he adds?

NotTerfNorCis · 23/12/2018 21:17

TRAs think anything they disagree with is a rant, even if it's a dozen words or fewer.

Stardustinmyeyes · 23/12/2018 21:21

Pompous patronising knobhead

Nightcloud · 23/12/2018 21:34

He has advocated for sex with children to be legalised. For that reason alone his opinions are nul and on everything IMHO.

Bowlofbabelfish · 23/12/2018 21:51

Her tweet wasn’t wrong. She wasn’t wrong. She was 100% right. Men should not compete with women in sports that are single sex.

My view exactly only infinitely better expressed.

I was heartened to read that just about every single reply to his tweet was in defence of Martina and against tw in woman's sports.

I read loads and only two people trying to argue the ridiculous.

Awrite · 23/12/2018 22:16

He's been 'ratioed' - shown to be an idiot on Twitter by having a high ratio of comments to likes/retweets.

HomeStar · 23/12/2018 22:32

HOLY SHIT those responses. GrinGrin

Two people agreeing with him, one of them making a sadface and adding Dr Horrible to the tweet. Tatchell's at Harropian levels of credibility now apparently.

Also one person praising him for "respecting those who disagree with him" but I'm about 90% sure it's sarcastic.

He doesn't have any friends left since he decided to take on Julie Bindel, does he? If he wants people to forget about all that awkward pedophile-defending he needs to start identifying as trans.

Not even being sarcastic. I genuinely think if he did that he'd have an influx of new fans and supporters backing up everything he said, and the pedo stuff would all be swept under the rug.

VickyEadie · 23/12/2018 22:54

Tatchell trying desperately to recapture some support/credibility after paedogate.

WeRiseUp · 23/12/2018 22:55

Tatchel FOD

Hulo · 23/12/2018 23:17

I think we can be pretty clear that Renee is most likely the 'wrong sort of trans' and so her lived experience and knowledge counts for little against the likes of Mckinnon

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 23/12/2018 23:21

Speaking of things totally unconnected to this current trans push I've been looking into PIE recently, but I don't want to go too deeply for obvious reasons. Can anyone explain what a no contact peadophile actually is?

Vegilante · 24/12/2018 04:04

Captain, my understanding is that a no-contact paedophile is a person whose primary attraction is to pre-pubescent children but who has never acted on their desires by actually having sexual contact with kids. My understanding is also that the new woke term for paedophile is MAP, short for "minor attracted persons" (or penises). Those that perv on kids but don't sexually molest them are now called No-MAPs. Not to be confused with no-faps, porn-addicted habitual masturbators who've sworn off both porn & wanking, or attempted to.

FlyingOink · 24/12/2018 04:53

No fap is a genuine force for good though.

gendercritter · 24/12/2018 08:06

At the Extinction Rebellion protest the other day a supportive comment was read out by him and the person reading it was very 'Peter Tatchell supports us' (hallowed voice, awed face) and I just thought straight away of Tatchell's commrmts about children and sex. Hopefully in a year's time that will be what people know him for and his opinions will carry no weight at all.

Datun · 24/12/2018 08:15

I would have thought the last person you want supporting your couse is Tatchell. Still, it's just given McKinnon another, bigger, more famous spade with which to complete their hole.

hackmum · 24/12/2018 08:32

The replies to Tatchell are very good, and give me hope that sanity will prevail.
