Owen Jones is very cross.

For the many MNers who are blocked, he said:

“Given the media is taking up questions lifted from the increasingly radicalised and hateful cesspit of anti-trans activists on Twitter, we're presumably not far from broadcast interviewers asking gay men "So would you perform cunnilingus??? WOULD YOU THOUGH????"

I don’t think he’s replied yet to all the people telling him that refusing to have sex with vagina-owning transmen makes him transphobic. Come to think of it, Stonewall called us lesbians sexual racists for not being into transwomen so…

I agree it’s a valid question. If I as a biological female decided to identify as a man would he have sex with me and my male identifying vagina. Or is he a transphobe?

beenaroundtheblox: Trans activists say that it is transphobic for lesbians to exclude transwomen, ie male people, from their dating. The argument against this accusation is that female homosexuality doesn't involving attraction to penises. Trans activists say that lesbians refusing to date transwomen are "genital fetishists" and need to get over this and involve male sex organs in their sex lives.

Gender critical people say that if that's the case, shouldn't gay male trans activists get over their "genital fetishism" and involve female sex organs in their sex lives? At this point, Owen Jones, a keen trans activist who is a gay man, charges around the Internet denouncing people.

He's still salty about women notoriously asking him this in 2015 or so.

beenaroundtheblox · 02/04/2022 08:18

I'm a bit new to this section. Could someone explain this to me please?

@Rightsraptor

What's he talking about? I'm not on Twitter.

I mean, what's the peg he's hanging this on? It's a direct question so it makes me think of the 'can a woman have a penis?' question that Maya etc al are encouraging us to ask election candidates. But that's hardly questioning random people about their sexual proclivities.

Confused.

As far as I can see it’s part of a general rant about that.

We know very well what that peg is.

IncompleteSenten · 02/04/2022 08:14

It is indeed a valid question.
Lesbians are attacked for not wanting so called 'lady dick'. What's been his position on that?

If a woman decides they are a man then paying attention to their genitals is - what do tra's call it? A genital fetish?

So he either says no, he won't be intimate with any trans man because he has a 'genital fetish', or he claims he would he just hasn't but he's not opposed in principle, or he dodges the question and goes on the attack and we all draw our own conclusions on his actual beliefs 🤷‍♀️

I’m actually gobsmacked by that - he really doesn’t get it!

tabbycatstripy · 02/04/2022 08:09

That is WOW.

So he wants to use a woman’s body for gestation, knowing he can’t gestate a child in a male body. He won’t perform cunnilingus because he’s a gay male and he likes penises.

But everyone else is a transphobe.

ZaraSizeMedium · 02/04/2022 08:09

Would he though? Given that trans men are men, and lesbians are transphobic for not wanting a transwoman’s cock in their sex life, it’s a valid question, surely?

Abhannmor · 02/04/2022 08:08

'Hateful cess pit of trans activism'. Fixed it .

CoraggioCara · 02/04/2022 08:08

He's not making the point he thinks he is.

Sometimes I've noticed this journalist strays into inadvertently making GC arguments.

Robin843 · 02/04/2022 08:06

He's the gift that keeps on giving. It's a valid question given that lesbians are evil transphobes for not wanting to engage with penis.
