On Twitter wearing a tee shirt saying ‘ Trans rights are human rights’

With tons of supportive comments underneath.

Ah great. The millionaire actress with mansions and security teams, who will never, ever be reliant on public facilities or gyms or shit hospitals; who will never be manipulated as a child into thinking she needs her breasts cut off; who doesn't ever have to talk with anyone outside her preferred circles ...

Of course she can back up the group saying that women don't need single-sex spaces anymore. Because SHE doesn't need them.

Badly done, Emma, badly done!

I was instinctively disappointed but as others have said, her Eminem's was always part of her brand and she's promoting that brand with that tweet. Her feminism credentials have always been shaky.

At least it doesn’t say Sun’s Out Guns Out.

(Broken heart due to mermaids mention)

MouldyVoldy · 18/10/2018 17:38

I just saw her post on fb. Broke my heart a little. Oh Emma ... I know she comes from a good place but ... gah!

vice versa obv. (bloody autocorrect

mortgagemoans · 18/10/2018 15:21

I would happily wear that T-shirt but on the reverse I would have ‘Woman - Adult Human Female’ (or vice versus) I agree with both statements. Maybe someone should make one and send it her 😄

Melamin · 18/10/2018 15:20

Every so often, back in the '70s, they would wheel some woman out who would say she didn't need women's lib and everything, because you could get what you wanted out of life be being a feminine woman. I am not sure these women ever changed their mind but they certainly benefitted from equal pay etc without complaint.

Do some people think that being feminist is what they wear?

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 18/10/2018 15:09

Emma Watson can fuck off with her supposed feminist credentials. This is a woman who used a dishonest company to avoid paying taxes. You have zero credibility, dear. So fuck off.

HuckfromScandal · 18/10/2018 14:50

Interesting how "trans rights are human rights" is not misogynistic, but "woman - adult human female" is horribly transphobic.....
Double standards....

I genuinely believe that Emma Watson is just taking her information from a poor source, and could easily be peak transed.

LorettasBox · 18/10/2018 14:17

YY re:brand.

I doubt she got further into the issues than reading that slogan t-shirts were a huge fashion story this year.

MoltenLasagne · 18/10/2018 14:15

Feminism appears to be part of Emma's brand rather than a core ethic. She is exceedingly careful to take an unchallenging stance whilst being wholesome enough to be a good role model that parents want for their children.

There are worse ways for a child star to turn out, but no-one should be looking to her for proper feminism. I find this less infuriating than the whole he for she crap anyway.

Bet she's really pleased with the filter on the photo too. And the 'strong' pose. That's what feminism is all about, innit?

pachyderm · 18/10/2018 13:18

What a virtue signalling ninny.

VelvetReVulva · 18/10/2018 13:18

That T-shirt could do with a Venn diagram on it...

pennydrew · 18/10/2018 13:12

Yeah, I would buy a ‘ woman’s rights are human rights’ t-shirt

nellieellie · 18/10/2018 12:54

Maybe we need t shirts saying ‘trans rights are human rights’ AND ‘women’s rights are human rights’.

VelvetReVulva · 18/10/2018 12:50

There just seems to be 400 ‘yaaass qween!’ posts on her tweet. Ergh.

Gooseflesh · 18/10/2018 12:31

My first thought was ffs, that photo is ridiculous, plus @ Mermaids for Christ sake, however, whilst in no way excusing her, I feel she's made a rod for her own back here. Sometime, somehow she will be asked whether she believes in ladypenis, self id, medicalising kids etc. Even if she merely acknowledges the biological differences between women and transwomen she is going to get attacked just as JKR and AM were.

poorbuthappy · 18/10/2018 12:14

Loads of comments on there about how she is their favourite witch and people identify with her - I assume they realise Hermonie is a fictional character? Hmm

Ineedacupofteadesperately · 18/10/2018 12:12

Yes, women with wealth (like Emma Watson) can to some extent avoid the negative consequences of self ID for themselves and their daughters. Being charitable I suspect she hasn't thought through things like Karen White and J Brooks, but she's still throwing women and young girls under the bus (even if through ignorance) if she supports mermaids.

It's interesting how the pro-women and girls side is mostly grassroots normal women, without wealth. We've achieved so much considering the lack of serious money. I was wondering the other day how much money Posie, FPFW and WPUK have raised, how many have donated and what the average donation is. We don't have much spare cash so I've been donating £10 here and there when I can. And consciously going without the little treats I'd occasionally get myself (a coffee in Sainsbury's cafe) in order to do this. Bet I'm not alone.

gendercritter, my neighbour's firm did some early pro bono PR work for Kids Company but pulled out quickly having decided that their management were "impossible" to work with.

Due diligence is not that hard. I am surprised that EW's management company do not routinely do some for her to help prevent her looking like a numpty.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 18/10/2018 11:41

Agree with the others

Obviously trans rights are human rights

As are mens rights, children's rights and mens rights

Sooooo.....

Bit stuck, isnt it stating the bleedin' obvious
