She's mainly being pulled apart in the comments due to, you know, lying.

No doubt in my mind that she's getting puberty blockers and the contraceptive pill mixed up.

Such a shame as I have been following her since my early 20's and found her feminism very accessible back then.

Am I being unreasonable to say she's talking nonsense??

For the sake of my TV set and its screen, I will never watch anything with her in again.

I won't ever be able to see her face without remembering her using her platform to dismiss the plight of the truly unprotected on this earth.

It strikes me as narcissistic rage at being pulled up on an obvious lie.

UnderHisAye · 16/04/2021 15:33

The language she uses is so unnecessarily inflammatory. Why is she so desperate to pitch a battle between two sides? Do you think she imagines herself as the brave and beautiful saviour of the needy?

I mean, what good is she doing with her violent rhetoric?

Thank you so much for thatGrin

PotholeHellhole · 16/04/2021 15:07

Does Jameela know that it's estimated 800 girls a day are subjected to FGM? Without anaesthetic? Their genitals cut off? That girls die of it?

That little girls as young as nine are forced to "marry" much older men every year? That some of them die on their "wedding" night from their injuries?

I suggest she shuts her mouth and opens her purse. We've got a list of charities who would be glad of it.

PotholeHellhole · 16/04/2021 15:02

Jameela's latest.

Hell hath no fury like a Transphobe on Twitter. Remember if they come this hard for the allies, imagine what they do to actual members of the community. This is why we have to keep showing up in support. To create a wall between the most unprotected people on earth and the mob.

The most unprotected people on earth.

The most unprotected people on earth.

That is a phrase I might use for people in refugee camps. Girls subjected to repeated rapes in war zones. The Yazidis. Girls and women tricked into prostitution by criminal gangs who end up locked in brothels with barbed wire at the windows to keep them inside. Disabled people in countries where there is no provision. Homeless men and women living on the streets. The footage of toddlers ignored in cots in Romanian orphanages. Amazonian tribes whose lands are logged from under them.

I am so filled with rage that anyone within 50 miles can doxx me. I'm in the house with molten lava spouting from the chimney.

Naunet · 16/04/2021 14:46

Has anyone asked her why the boys weren’t prescribed them for their heavy periods too? Such a dipshit.

Excellent!

Some people seem very keen to imply that puberty blockers are really no more than generic brand paracetomol, available over the counter for 25p and bunged in a basket along with lip gloss and some Superdrug own brand body spray.

SunsetBeetch · 16/04/2021 14:14

Also another good thread from Malcolm Clark

@ForeverFaithless

OMG - has anyone seen how this has 'taken off' on twitter??

It's hilarious Grin - people posting outrageous 'memories' of how PBs were used in their youth.

Ah, brilliant Grin
Sillyduckseverywhere · 16/04/2021 13:37

She wants it to go away without admitting she's wrong.
You seen the amount of retweets she's done in the past few hours?

RoyalCorgi · 16/04/2021 10:19

She means well, but unfortunately she is quite dim.

That could be the epitaph for so many people involved in this debate.

What's the saying - the road to hell is paved with good intentions?

JJ threw the first PB at the Stonewall riot.
Oh god. Grin
Ereshkigalangcleg · 16/04/2021 09:50

DH mentioned that there was a recent episode of Moral Maze about celebrities championing causes they don’t necessarily understand.

Reminds me of Brass Eye.

Experts believe they were even used by the ancient Egyptians, and later some native American tribes.

A long and rich cultural history. This isn't like the conventional medicines produced by your Western imperialist "science".

PearPickingPorky · 16/04/2021 04:38

Can people stop posting bloody Wikipedia as medical advice please.

There is NO evidence of PBs ever being used in the UK (and I doubt anywhere else) for treating heavy periods in girls.

Dangerous to give this nonsense any credence.
