Just had a look sinc he's trending on twitter. Looks like a huge pile on to me, but plenty of his fans chipping in too.

No you can say TWAW without believing they’ve literally changed biological sex class.

Yeah, I'll pass on that, because, no.

That only makes sense if you can explain the word 'woman' without referring to biological sex.

She's still banging on about him this morning! Lots of huffing and puffing for somebody who doesn't care.

I think the JY situation needs people from trans rights groups speaking up and saying they don't feel JY represents what they are fighting for. In every story I've seen "she" gets called an activist. If the trans community don't counter that, the public will assume support, even if it is silent. And of course a huge part of the problem is the very vocal TRA's throw words like transphobe and tf around like confetti so how can they denounce JY without losing credibility in their own community?

TRAs dont care about trans people anymore than they care about women. And they dont need to because most of the normal, decent human beings that happen to be trans arent in public making shows and drawing attention to themselves. They dont behave the same way and if they Express discomfort are turned on with exactly the same ferocity as "terfs" receive. They're outed to religious organisations, family, work etc. We saw a tiny portion of it when jessica yaniv shared Blair whites address.

AGP basically have a lot of trans people in a stranglehold and the ones they dont and cant brainwash are because we are so careful of who we allow in which keeps us safe but then also limits the platform we can speak from.

I could post on my facebook to my trans friends all day long. They will mostly agree with me But it wont go reach any further circles because that platform is so small and private.

hang on, Mimmymummy says that She "doesn't disagree that Yaniv is awful."

Ricky is getting a full on pile on.

Is mimmymummy transphobic? Shock

GruciusMalfoy · 01/11/2019 08:22

My favourite tweets just now are the people who think they're having a laugh at RG name searching himself. Of course he is, all those eejits are prime material for him Grin

zebrasdontwearbras · 01/11/2019 08:21

Thinking about it, he's probably getting off lightly. Remember the flack JK Rowling got for following someone?

Actually, has anyone seen JK recently? Perhaps she is in Gulag Shock

Helmetbymidnight · 01/11/2019 08:20

some people do seem to think being trans is akin to being involved in the normandy landings.

zebrasdontwearbras · 01/11/2019 08:16

His timeline is such a pile on now, it's hard to remember what he said in the first place to cause such ire......

Oh that's right. He made a Yaniv halloween joke on twitter.

Off to Gulag with him for Re-education Program! Wink

Helmetbymidnight · 01/11/2019 07:55

the tra's are going nuts at him.

apparently a transwoman leaving the house is the bravest thing in the world, ever.

good on ricky, Im looking forward to the second series of that after life show.

AnyOldPrion · 01/11/2019 04:34

Mimmymum never had a chance. He’s loving it....

No, you can't.

BeMoreMagdalen · 31/10/2019 23:47

How do you effectively wokescold a dog? Are there enough doggie training treats in the world to accomplish it, or do you have to hang a shaming sign round it's neck to induce the re-education?

zebrasdontwearbras · 31/10/2019 23:40

Errol, yes, the dog can tell the person's sex regardless of gender identity. Bad dogs.

It was posted as a genuine problem on reddit, I think. A woman whose DH had transitioned MTF, but the family dog (who didn't like men) failed to recognise the change....

I hate to give The Metro a plug, but here is a version of what happened. Robert later deleted is tweet.

ErrolTheDragon · 31/10/2019 23:32

My personal fave was the "dogs are transphobic" one.

The what?
(Apart from the obvious, that they can tell what sex a person is with their eyes shut)

zebrasdontwearbras · 31/10/2019 23:25

There's a huge list of stuff the TRAs don't like, because it pinpoints the absurdity of their position.

Yaniv and "I identify as...." are but two.

Shame Grin

My personal fave was the "dogs are transphobic" one.

Oncewasblueandyellowtwo · 31/10/2019 23:20

The TRAlalalaban are after him.
I don't know if you could call it a pile on since he has millions of followers and it's just a few people but still they are trying.
Someone brought up that he uses the joke, I identify as... a few times and they are telling him to get a new joke,that he is stiring up hate for trans people, denying non binary people exist, oh and my favourite, someone is telling him to stop talking about Yaniv because its over and done with. Someone pointed out the case was literally last week.

Singlewhiteguineapig · 31/10/2019 23:06

Happy Halloween Mimmymum. Hope that you had a great day Flowers

ErrolTheDragon · 31/10/2019 22:19

Maybe someone's told him about her and Miranda.

BeMoreMagdalen · 31/10/2019 22:09

Ricky's blocked her after that simpering little pity squeak? The man has actually gone up in my estimation somewhat, and that's not a thing that happens often.

Butterymuffin · 31/10/2019 21:19

What happened with Robert Webb? I didn't know he'd retracted anything.

zebrasdontwearbras · 31/10/2019 21:09

Ah, Ricky's blocked her now. So the "my poor trans child though..." plea didn't work any better on Gervais than it did in court.

zebrasdontwearbras · 31/10/2019 20:56

Yeah, I'm laughing a bit at Mimmymum fluttering her eyelashes at Ricky Gervais - yet totally despising and slandering Mumsnet every chance she gets.

Everything Gervais has said about Caitlyn Jenner, for example, would be deleted on mumsnet- but Gervais gets the 'oh do come and speak to me' treatment and wished a Happy Halloween! Halloween Confused

Happy Halloween Mimmymum! If you'd like to speak to parents and professionals who are not sure that putting children on puberty blocking drugs is the best thing for their long-term mental and physical health, do let us know Halloween Wink
