James is going to be discussing trans issues today on LBC. His show is on now - not sure what time the segment will start, but should be good!

Thank you for the link Diet

Oh my god hannah you were AMAZING! He was trying to trip you up all over the place and you stayed calm, well spoken, stayed on topic, wouldn't let yourself be segued.

I am in awe.

I hope to be as composed as you some day.

want to stop trans people existing

For me this is the main untrue allegation and a trope reiterated by Paris Lees along with the transkids suicide rates that don't actually translate to kids suicide rates at all: "I have to justify my existence all the time" etc. etc.

Honestly, who really cares whether PL is trans? Who really is thinking and saying that transpeople shouldn't exist or have rightst???

PL clearly had an absolutely fucked up childhood and am glad for PL that they've managed to reestablish a relationship with one of the parents after such rejection and found a niche that means they are celebrated.. Shame it's at the expense of so many people but PL is not alone in that. That horrendous "I love catcalls" article makes a lot of sense given PL's childhood and life as a rent boy who did a jail term.

It's a whole bundle of shit that we would all be pitying but because PL was "pretty" before the facial feminisation surgery and even more so now, whatever nonsense PL says is gospel to many and it's why Jack Munroe (who I think is a very naturally attractive women- not that it should count but it does) is feeling "overlooked" and talking about all the "death threats" she has.

Someone on PL's most recent twitter thread earlier was hoping Germaine Greer would die soon (the tweeter was called out by one person). These are not the "death threats" that are being talked about because unattractive "old" women with opinions can just do one, more so than JM and even more so than PL.

The pecking order is clear.

Argh just listening to this now. What a patronising cock. For the record, 'terf' is an insult because:

It's loaded with untrue allegations such as terfs are racists, violent, want to stop trans people existing, reduce women to their vaginas etc.

It's used to dehumanize any woman who doesn't accept trans ideology. 'Terfs' are inhuman, deserve to be killed, MUST be silenced by all means etc.

Sometimes a word can be descriptive but toxic because of its use. 'Trannie' is one example.

God I shouldn’t have read the comments.

thebewilderness · 22/03/2018 19:00

Oh Em Gee, I appear to have said something bad but I do not remember what.

DietCoke87 · 22/03/2018 18:57
For those that missed it live. I have no words for the YouTube comments section.

It is so awful. This particular girl was identifying as a boy. So sad.

thebewilderness · 22/03/2018 00:31

The underlying tragedy of all these new sexualities is that they are being invented as a way for 12 year old girls to refuse giving blow jobs at recess to pornsick weasels.

Pratchet · 22/03/2018 00:22

Ha ha! I saw someone describing themselves as having 'grey ace' sexuality and I felt so sorry for the poor kid. She'd obviously looked it up on a chart.

SubsidisedVowels · 21/03/2018 21:32

Pratchet for a second there I thought 'simectrnsexuals' must be the latest term Grin

ATROCIOUS TYPING
Some transexual people

Pratchet · 21/03/2018 16:03

I think that's why simectrnsexuals are furious at self ID. 'I went through all this - for you to just walk in the ladies in a dress?'

derxa · 21/03/2018 15:58

It's just men feeling sorry for men who had their willies cut off, in that case. We can't possibly tell them it was all for nothing That's something I had never thought of.

Mouthtrousersafrocknowandthen · 21/03/2018 15:29

Pratchet Youch.

JOB must feel uber macho.

Thing is for many, many lovely people like Jayceedove and Kristina etc. it wasn't all for nothing for them, it's who they are.

There are some people you can't really admire for they way the handle it, like Jenner doing the corset shot at 68 years old, women that age would be very unlikely to do that. And woman of the year. I would have admired Jenner more if he'd had the nouse to say no to that.

Battleax · 21/03/2018 15:25

Don't forget JOB is a big fan of Fox and Owl. Owl has had surgery.

Who?

HomeTerf · 21/03/2018 14:53

Spot on Ellenripley

Men only want women to protect themselves from attack when it involves curtailing women's behaviour, doesn't really affect men and women can be blamed if they did/didn't do those things - so walking home alone, skirt length, drinking etc.

As soon as women take steps to protect themselves that would put out a man in any way, so not coming up for a drink, talking about #metoo, not wanting TIMs in female only spaces, it's all NAMALT.

Its so bloody transparent!

Can you imagine being the poor Saturday assistant in shop who would try and stop him?

Jesus.

nauticant · 21/03/2018 14:19

He goes into the changing room with his daughter because he wants to make her shopping experience all about him.

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 21/03/2018 14:17

How thick is that man to sympathise with the TIMs wanting to get away from violent men in the loos yet argue with women wanting to get away from violent men in the loos? He is so STUPID!! 😡😡
