In today's Sunday Times, Rod Liddle states of Susie Green:
"My own view is that she should be in prison for child abuse and assault."

Thank you, Rod Brew

She's in a bind here. Take action and get the full public gaze on what you did. Or do nothing which empowers journalists to say even more.

If she genuinely believes she did the right thing then maybe she will take it to court. I do hope so.

Shame he goes on to bemoan women presenters.

We see you, Susie. The nation sees you. What's your next move?

He’s been very careful to state ‘My own view...’ so not the paper’s editorial policy or those of its proprietor. As, quite rightly FGM, is illegal & it is illegal to take a child overseas for an illegal surgery has SG never been charged for treatment of Jackie? Quite bizarre.

I’d imagine that the Sunday Times has the best lawyers that money can afford. I wonder if Susie Green will be phoning one of her police officer chums? Some how I doubt it.

And thank you to Popchyk. It's just that I saw Betsy's comment first.

AstonishedFemalePersonator · 24/03/2019 09:00

Ah. Thanks, Betsy. I hadn't thought about it that way.

Wow spot on. I think the more times transgender people are referred to by their actual sex the harder it is for people to accuse others of misgendering. Let’s hope other papers follow suit

TowelNumber42 · 24/03/2019 08:57

I cannot wait to see this argued out in court. Was it truth or libel to accuse Green of child abuse. This was no accidental publication by an overworked editor. The lawyers must believe it will stand up in court.

Popchyk · 24/03/2019 08:53

I also think sexuality was deliberately used.

And he's right. Many of the children who are now identifying as transgender would otherwise grow up as adults to be gay or lesbian. Stonewall are cheering on this gay conversion therapy.

Be interesting to see Susie Green's reaction from here.

BetsyM00 · 24/03/2019 08:38

I think saying 'sexuality' was quite deliberate Astonished, in order to point to the number of young girls who may be lesbians being transed instead.

AstonishedFemalePersonator · 24/03/2019 08:10

Oh, and thank you to Betsy for sharing.

Astonishing move! Still I don't like some of the friends we are forced to have...

AstonishedFemalePersonator · 24/03/2019 07:58

Interesting column by Rod Liddle but transgender is not an issue of "sexuality" but of "sex".

I thought he was being rather restrained this week.

And Rod refers to SG's child using XY pronouns! (Sorry, not sure if I am allowed to even state the pronouns Rod used?)

The fact that The Times printed a direct example of misgendering should be interesting... they do usually refer to trans people by their preferred pronouns.

I wonder if Rod will be the next to get a phone call?
