Wow! I mean , congratulations Dan! You really are taking gender-non-conformity to the extreme.

Total respect. I mean, c-section, obviously, no?

And is your partner supportive? How exciting. For her to become a dad, that's just ... amazing!

What?

Oh. Oh, I see.

Sorry. Wrong end of the stick.

He clearly knows what a woman is when he wants to procreate.

This is what I muttered to myself earlier today.

Yep,they always do.

Show quote history

Like Li'l Owen Jones and his comment about "broody lesbians" . . .

@Birdsweepsin Oh FFS! Confused

Nothing wrong with this headline at all. What a silly thread, and a daft thing to get irate about. Hmm He IS expecting a baby. It's not like the headline said he's pregnant. How daft.

OP is not irate. Well, she may be by now, tbf, after the lack of sense of humour shown by some posters.

Redebs · 26/03/2023 14:07

But if someone says 'I'm expecting a baby' it implies she is pregnant. A man 'expecting a baby' is an odd expression.

Bit like those couples announcing 'we are pregnant!'
Makes me think, 'Both of you? What a coincidence! Who are the fathers?'

User963 · 26/03/2023 14:07

As an aside I saw a picture of him with his girlfriend a couple of days ago. I thought she clearly looked pregnant and was surprised that the tabloids hadn’t speculated about it.

You will pick on any damn thing about people who do not agree with your right wing GC agenda, just to give the ole ideology a bit more air time on Mumsnet (not that it needs it).

Dammit!! You’ve seen right through us 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Daniel Radcliffe has been somewhat unsupportive of JK Rowling, the woman whose incredible body of work made him a multimillionaire while he was still in his early teens, and gave him the platform to further his acting career, over her advocacy of the rights of women and girls he's such a feminist.

Daniel Radcliffe says he believes trans women are women. He doesn't seem to think sex is immutable. It therefore doesn't seem such a stretch that he believes he could become pregnant. As per the headline.

I wonder if he will now realise that his g/f is a woman?

And what a woman is

Lcb123 · 26/03/2023 14:04

Surely not me who can’t see anything wrong with this. He is an expecting a baby. Expecting a baby doesn’t mean hes pregnant

Butchyrestingface · 26/03/2023 14:03

I saw the headline and thought the same thing, @Birdsweepsin.

Can't wait for when he's in labour pushing out a 10 pound baby.

I do not think that having GC views equates to being right-wing.

Fairyliz · 26/03/2023 13:36

Well I’m disappointed op. I thought you were going to report that he had realised what a massive twat he has been and apologised to JK Rowling.

Actually, so was I. I was really hoping that he'd finally seen the light and that he was announcing that he'd been wrong, and that actually, transwomen are MEN.

Because they are men, and DR has always claimed they're women. And distanced himself from JK Rowling because of this.

AnyMucca · 26/03/2023 08:15

Pick your battles. Picking up and ranting about a non-issue isn't doing us any favours. To the point, I am wondering if this is a reverse.

Eh? How the hell can this be a reverse? Do you even know what a reverse is?

SirChenjins · 26/03/2023 13:47

Completely agree OP - it’s surprising that they chose to ignore the woman who is a well known actor in her own right and who is actually carrying the baby, but perhaps the journalist thought his feelz would be hurt if they printed something that reminded him of the absence of his uterus.

Other media outlets have managed to use their words properly to reflect the presence of the woman in their headlines, thank goodness.

Notimeforaname · 26/03/2023 13:41

He is expecting a baby. He's not pregnant but is expecting his child to be born. Its correct.

3peassuit · 26/03/2023 13:31

Maybe they drew straws to see which of them would give birth.

AnythingToSay · 26/03/2023 13:25

I lol'd.

I have no respect for him after the shit he came away with.

How is believing that women deserve sex based spaces 'right wing'?!

FrippEnos · 26/03/2023 13:04

He does seem to have discovered what a woman is,

GreenWhiteViolet · 26/03/2023 12:53

Well, I found it funny.

I'm with the PP who hates hearing 'we're pregnant' though. No, only one of you is, and it's never the man.

Not quite as bad as one I recently saw in print. Of a couple: 'they will be giving birth in [location].'

magneticmoon · 26/03/2023 12:51

But... more important.. how will he know whether he has a boy or girl...

Fairislefandango · 26/03/2023 12:49

I totally agree about Radcliffe being an arse though.
