Frances Barber Under Attack From TRAs

I saw the Jay stuff but his tweets were already protected when I became aware. What was her tweet that set it off - out of interest?

She hasn't doxxed him. She's found out his name and address and has threatened legal action.

And she called him a fuckhead. 💪

It's disgusting. (Or, as they would say: "Ew, gross").

It seems you are supportive of totalitarian behaviour @Oystercakemix and also believe that their is a correct response to totalitarianism which can only be determined by those imposing it?

I expect it's because she's a woman. And should rise above it.

Because women are held to a massively higher standard than men.

It is incredibly dense to think someone legitimately criticing someone in the public eye because they've been hateful is the same as someone in the public eye dogpiling and doxxing someone unknown.

Yeah right

If you are repeatedly racist, islamaphobic and transphobic then you can't expect everyone to like you. If she gets fired now, it won't be because some relative unknown sent screenshots of her nasty tweets to her place of work, it will be because of the way she reacted.

You don't have to blindly support everyone who agrees with you about trans people.

(((There's a new Strike in progress))) it was on twitter on a Frances thread...

[quote WarriorN]Re racism: There's a screenshot of an OJ tweet. Easier if I link it.

Have you got a screenshot? Some of us are happily blocked from little OJ's Twitter.

I think the racism stuff (generally, not re FB and the Muslim tweet) is where TRAs are doubling down and now calling any view that doesn't support trans rights as racist due to "white privilege". They seem to have appropriated people of colour and somehow added them to the "trans umbrella". Not sure how gender critical women of colour feel about that!

I was lumped into the trans umbrella today for saying on a FB post that I have no gender. "Oh, you're trans then". No mate .....

If someone purposely came after me and tried to get me fired / mess up my career, livelihood, my family’s income, I would not timidly hide away or beg forgiveness. I’d be coming right back at them - as my mother always used to also say “never start anything - but always finish it”

She has every right to defend herself legally.

Why is it women who are always accused of being 'unkind' when they are just furious with injustice?

She’s fucking formidable, isn’t she?

Jesus.

I’m in stunned awe.

I've spotted on twitter that she's grouped with Maureen Lipman and JK as being a 'weird little Labour group' (or something similar.' I do smell misogyny tbh.

Number 1 of opinionated people whose opinions I am not interested in: Owen Jones.

And like many women, he's blocked me on Twitter which makes me even less interested

But has anyone else noticed that it now seems mandatory for a GC person to also be accused of being racist, islamophobic, antisemitic?

Yes I have.

And they might be or might not be; the individual issues need to be looked at separately.

Here he tried to get her fired for a view that most people have.

She's understandably furious.

They're using it as an opportunity to smear her even more. As most people bung everyone in the same band if you've one "phobic/ist" label you get them all by proxy. Simplistic fools.

Whereyouleftit odd isn't it

How come, if he's got a million followers, they're not drooling on his every word. I think 9,999,000 must be us checking what he's up to

Frances Barber tweeted 'Hey Jay Mann. 3 people have give me your name & details. You're FUCKED'

That is not standing up for yourself, that's a threat.

I really doubt Jay is going to be fired, at most he will get a warning for misusing his social media, which he rightly deserves.

But I feel that baseless accusations of transphobia can often end a woman's career, so I'm really glad she is fighting back. It's time these trolls had a dose of their own medicine, maybe next time Jay will think twice about trying to get someone sacked for holding an opinion that is different to his own

This is distraction from the substantive issue.

The same OJ who was 'hunting' for broody Lesbians.
