Damian Barr TRA suicide slur *(title edited at OP's request)

Have just been having a heated conversation with DH. We agree on some things, but he insists he has seen a comment by Glinner about a TRA who made a failed suicide attempt, which was deeply offensive and gloating. I am sure he isn't right about this, but have a memory that someone like Bergdorf may have?

Definitely confusing Glinner with Barr. Barr is embraced by the trans community and his sins forgiven/forgotten/excused/ glossed over. Glinner is persona non grata.

I am certain your husband is remembering a screenshot of Damien Barr's comment, and assuming that it must have been a GC man who made it.

Matt Lucas from Little Britain isn't GC either, by the way.

I mean I dunno and in the end does it matter?

If one person says something shit then how does that impact the actual obvious issues?

And I mean look at the stuff OJ et al have come out with...

Well I mean there was the Nazis episode in father Ted... Grin

I cannot recall (nor imagine) Glinner ever making such a crass and offensive joke.

Are you thinking of Damian Barr?

Damian Barr made a horrible joke about a transwoman's failed suicide attempt. I have posted his joke on here before and it was deleted very swiftly, because presumably it was that offensive.

Damian Barr is doing just fine.

I also remember a post like that by a trans rights advocate.

I think he needs to show you where he got that, rather than sending you off to hunt!

And in the end a lot of people say shit sometimes. The issues with this stand on their own, who says what about who is noise and in the end if a or b said xyz then that doesn't affect sports prisons etc does it.
