Just wondering if anyone's seen this on Twitter. Quite a funny, interesting thread, eg

#AskDanielRadcliffe When was the last time you showed solidarity with trans activists by dating a trans woman, and what steps are you taking to unlearn your genital preferences?

Is the first one that showed up when I clicked. Sorry if it's old news.

Having spent time on twitter, I’m afraid I now know more about this celebrity than I expected to ever needed to know. He is in a relationship, he does have a girlfriend, so it would be bad form to offer him dates with other hypothetical persons. But he also isn’t on Twitter, so the hashtag is reaching his fans (employers?) rather than him.

So we've had
Far right
Wrong time for a woman to speak
Educate yourself
Hate crime and
TRY Harder... I think that was the funniest.

What an absolute patronising load of libfem cliches.

Wrong board smile.

She is a childrens book writer. Nothing much more

Oh dear Grin

BaronessBrighterThanYou · 15/06/2020 21:38

Mr angry ain't interested.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 15/06/2020 21:37

I didn't say she wasn't a feminist. I just don't agree on this, nor do I think she has the last word on it.

I don't know who to break it to you Smile - but I" don't know, has anyone told him to suck a dick until he chokes to death or speculated as to the health of his genitals yet?" Is a question, not an instruction to Radcliffe himself - and is referring directly to the sort of abusive language directed to JK Rowling.

If you don't understand this by now, I don't think anyone can help you.

BaronessBrighterThanYou · 15/06/2020 21:36

I'm very surprised that I've not heard any mention of JKR on Woman's Hour. I could've missed it. Anyone else hear anything? They are going to do a bit tomorrow about the GRA so it might come up then possibly..

I don't particularly care who DR sleeps with (so long as it's not me).

But I'd love for someone to present him with a photo of a feminine-presenting transman (so, a female whose incongruous gender identity isn't remotely apparent) and ask him if, as a heterosexual man, he'd be theoretically open to dating them.

Would he be open to it, on the grounds of female biology? Or would he turn out to be able to see gendered souls, and instinctively know this female-bodied female-presenting person is actually a man?

Which woman pissed you off today?

Plenty of people who are considered "international human rights fighters" don't seem to want to stand up for women and girls as a political class.

I couldn't care less whether any individual woman agrees.

JemimaShore · 15/06/2020 21:30

Nobody could really miss the point that much could they?

Once again - DrDavid was making the point that Radcliffe was NOT being told to "choke on a dick" - that abuse was sent to JK Rowling by men and TRAS.

Feminists, who started using that hashtag at the weekend are NOT saying that to Radcliffe.

BaronessBrighterThanYou · 15/06/2020 21:30

It's not the weekend already is it?

DrDavid that is an appalling post. Why would you even fucking post that?

Don't be ridiculous. No one did post it to him. They did, multiple times to JK Rowling. They have to many women they consider "TERFs". That's the whole fucking point.

To add I think JKR made an appalling mistake posting her rhetoric during Pride Month and the BLM protests.

When exactly are women allowed to speak? The "rhetoric" was in response to a campaign of abuse after her tweets on the Maya Forstater case and her mistaken copy and paste of text referring to a woman being attacked by a male TRA. This happened the week before. She was tired of it.

JemimaShore · 15/06/2020 21:24

Yes, perhaps you should take a look at the tirade of violent misogynistic abuse that JK Rowling has been subjected to in the past week, and ask yourself why Daniel Radcliffe has not received similar?

(Clue - feminists don't use that language to make their arguments, Trans-activists do).

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 15/06/2020 21:24

I didn't know Grint has a child but I knew Redmayne does. It's insulting they claim women's biology doesn't matter when they've personally benefitted from a woman's biology to father their child.

JemimaShore · 15/06/2020 21:22

Ah - so it's not on the hashtag - you're referring to Dr's post here - who was referring to the fact that Radcliffe had NOT been told to choke a dick?
