Can we have a thread about how much of a knob Ralf Little is

Ahh, from reading through his timeline, turns out hes actually a 'terf'

I'm sure Grace Petrie would have been willing to identify as trans for the duration of their discussion.

To be fair, Ralf Little could have identified as trans and just had an internal dialogue over the matter:
Ralf: People are saying I'm wrong. Could that be true?
Trans-Ralf: No, it can't be true. I'm a liberal lefty dude!
Ralf: Phew, that's a relief!

Oh Grace Petrie is not even actually a transperson?!

But he said he wanted to hear from actual transpeople. So her ignored the actual transpeople who responded, and instead listened to someone who is not trans with an argument that matched his own. Even better

So he ignored Debbie Hayton, Miranda Yardley and Jen Pansexual. And Lily Maynard who has direct experience of how harmful this whole thing is.

And listened only to one transperson who from their timeline appears to support violence against 'terfs'?

One would think he was never looking for both sides at all and just wanting to validate his brocalist view.

Theahirthebod and nauticant Grace Petrie is a lesbian and "feminist" (she isn't) singer-songwriter who has gone full TRA. She had a number of women on twitter telling her "yes, as a lesbian I have been pressured for sex by a trans-identifying male who told me I was a bigot for not liking dick" and all her responses where of the "well, I just can't see that happening". So a real #Idontbelieveher with her.

What makes it absolutely aggravating is that she sees herself as a totally rad, political, out-there lesbian activist. I used to love her music but I can't listen to it anymore as all I hear is her denials of rape culture. And now she's saying it's OK to say "kill all TERFs" - dear god. She's an embarrassment.

I agree. They'll move on to the next thing when the trans mania wanes. Though god alone knows what the next thing will be. Sadly for them their blind support of this horror show will be preserved forever more so that they can't disown the whole thing in five or ten years when it all goes to hell.

Fashion will change their minds.

Yep. As soon as the media/SJW so-called lefties* find a new cause, all these trans people will be dropped like a hot brick.

(*I maintain that anybody prioritising subjective individual identities over class analysis cannot be an actual lefty. Promoting individualism is a right wing concept.)

Wow. That patronising tone of his is like fingernails down a blackboard. He virtually pats women on the head with every tweet. As for 'I'll be on the next women's march....' Oh please don't bother Ralf.

Nothing will change their minds.

Fashion will change their minds.

Who is Grace Petrie by the way?

I was wondering that too. I couldn't be arsed to google and just assumed she was some kind of MRA ally.

I've found that with these awful brocialist pricks, you can present them with pages and pages of evidence of the abuse that feminists suffer from TRAs, it doesn't matter. They just dismiss it with 'yeah I don't condone that but I still stand by my opinion' or 'you've just cherry picked tweets from the lunatic fringe of transactivism, it's not representative'. Nothing will change their minds.

You couldn't write this stuff. He dives in with a hugely virtue signalling tweet, the admits that actually he doesn't know what he is talking about.

Then leaves it a while, apparently listens to 'all sides' and then decides that of course he was on the 'right side' all along, and escapes with his brocialist credentials still fully intact. In the process he ignores many women's voices on this and dismisses the homophobic abuse that lesbians receive from TRAs as 'oh yeah well that's bad too obvs, but back to you awful women voicing an opinion, now that is unacceptable'.

Fuck off Ralf and don't bother coming on the women's march either.

Who is Grace Petrie by the way?

Ugh! I knew him way back when we were teenagers and even then he always, always, had to have the last word!

Complex and emotive issue...oh fuck off! Stupid man trying to look like some kind of intellectual. WAY out of his depth. Tweets then runs when the difficult questions are being asked, that, y'know, require logical thinking.

God I loathe these kinds of men. He should stick to opinions on football, because he's a complete dunce. And you can just tell he's all proud of himself for using the word 'egalitarian', the big wet prick.

Each day I think I can't get any angrier...

IrkThePurist jesus fuck, I hadn't seen the Grace Petrie thread of "it's totally justified to say Kill All TERFs".

Argh.

*know nothing

(Editing fail)

What a surprise he had no idea about the 'cotton ceiling' and the threats towards women.

I swear Radfems/gender crits are the few that actually do their research the yet are spoke to like they no nothing and are ignorant.

Bloody typical.

Those Twitter threads are raising my blood pressure to an unhealthy level.

Pipe down now wimmin, the men need to talk.

Half of me reads it and wants to end it all by means of a rage stroke.

But the other half of me just has to laugh that he gets thoroughly rinsed every time he speaks AND IS TOO FUCKING THICK TO EVEN NOTICE.

(I don't care about Ralf so am less personally betrayed and upset that he's a misogynist dickhead!)

I saw Grace #Idontbelieveher Petrie has chimed in with support for Ralf.

(I still cannot cope with Grace Petrie being a fucking rape culture apologist wrt the cotton ceiling. It's really upset me still.)

Haha yes! Little Owen and Little Ralf. Wankers both.

Does that make him Little Ralf Little? 😀

nauticant
