This morning (anti feminist) Youtuber Sargon of Akkad has posted this excellent interview with Posie: You don't have to agree with either of them on everything to appreciate the clear common sense and plain speaking in this video. He has a large platform.

Absolutely happy to condemn all threats of violence from both sides of the debate.

I look forward to the deluge of posts you will need to make proportionally about TRAs.

Thanks for posting this - I would not have picked up otherwise. No fireworks - almost anodyne in places - and great to hear Posie putting forward her views so clearly. They both appeared to be discussing the subject from the point of view of concerned parents, (rather than the lobby groups etc) which was refreshing and hopefully will happen more often in the future.

Yes. It's a very good interview.

Absolutely happy to condemn all threats of violence from both sides of the debate. Incidentally, I seem to remember PP talking some time ago about being happy to sit ringside and watch straight men "resolve conflict in different ways to women" when they become aware of trans issues.

TRAs regularly threaten to rape and murder women. Yet I someone managed to miss your condemnation of these?

Strange that this has so far been neglected by snow, isn't it? Still I'm sure snow intends to put this right any time soon.

I'm not a Sargon fan, a good friend of mine is and sent me this, as he has other videos by him on this subject. He knows I don't like him much but he knows my issues with transgender ideology and politics. I really think Sargon gets it all now more than he did even a year ago.

Yes I know what he's like, snowblight. As he pointed out in the video, good old Jess herself dismissively likened the awful NYE Cologne mass sex attacks to "like a night out in Birmingham".

He is also known for his 2016 remarks about rape and a female Member of Parliament, Jess Phillips. In response to her complaint that she frequently received rape threats from men online, Benjamin tweeted to her: "I wouldn't even rape you." Criticism of this comment—and a later remark in which Benjamin said he might rape Phillips but for the fact that "nobody's got that much beer"—
