Surprisingly, the reaction from left wing activist types has been less than supportive, and they are not affirming Ryan's identity.

Stunning and brave

He is right, no one gets to question his identity.

People are who they say they are

He’s being a dick.

How is he?

Not wanting to derail but I was wondering whether the Trans MP Jamie Wallis is claiming to be Trans despite not altering a single thing? It’s all gone very quiet since his car crash, both literally and metaphorically. I know he was being investigated by the authorities for some dodgy business dealings.

Was that Canadian teacher with the prosthetic megatits really definitely a satirist?

Apparently - yes.

loislovesstewie · 01/05/2023 08:50

I hope that was the female version of Ryan.

If Humza is allowed to say that Isla Bryson is "at it" then we should all be allowed to say that they are all at it.

Well done Ryan.

Go Ryan! First lesbian, woman of colour - yet had to hide these characteristics in order to be elected.

So much I'm enjoying about this thread.

Motorina · 01/05/2023 08:33

Agreed.

We don't get to question Lia Thomas' motivations.
We don't get to question Emily Bridge's motivations.
We don't get to question Isla Bryson's motivations.
We don't get to question Barbie Kardashian's motivations.
So we don't get to question Ryan Webb's motivations.

That's the way this works.

“You don’t get to question me,” he said directly to the audience. “You do not get to require proof from me. You were part of the movement to help establish these rules and set the bar. Okay? You don’t get to come later when someone else joins your club that you don’t want in.”

Perfect response.

Agree. I’m surprised this hasn’t been done before. His “coming out” 😂 statement reads as quite clumsy but he’s clearly deliberately mimicking a certain style especially with the #, but he’s been astute in avoiding the T word, and his response is spot on.

He wants to explore

"Sometimes we end up right back where we started"

So he's trans as long as it's convenient and not even hiding he intends to 'transition' back

This has gone right over your head hasnt it!!!

Motorina · 01/05/2023 08:27

I am pleased to say that this still holds even when the transperson is being a dick. We don't get to doubt people's identities just because we don't like them or the party they stand for.

Well it's just as true as other people's claims. None are based in reality.

@Boiledbeetle I didn't link because of my technical ineptitude, but this may do it? https://fb.watch/kf8f1hMLUU/ Maybe.

Other than the change in pronouns, why is Ryan(girl) any different from Gregor Murray? Both are politicians claiming a trans identity. Why should one be accepted as trans and the other be mocked?

Is it because Gregor has a beard?

That is a great response and it's completely true.

In an ideal world everyone should just ignore this stupid fucker. What an utter bellend.

Why? He is trolling but he is actually proving a point. If people can believe others can change their sex (they can't), why can't people say they've changed age, race etc?

I had a look at Councilperson Webb's facebook, where there's a link to his first broadcast interview.

Two things stood out for me.

Firstly, the shock and distress he clearly feels because his gender identity has not been fully accepted by those of differing political view.

Secondly, he is very clear he has, in fact, changed his name. He has changed it from Ryan (a man's name) to Ryan (a woman's name).

I know mumsnet - rightly - is very hot on deleting posts which misgender someone. Can I remind everyone to ensure that they use the correct 'Ryan' so as not to misgender this brave individual as he explores his gender identity.

Facebook??? I've only just learnt how to use Twitter and now I'm expected to work out how to find something On Facebook??

He can be as stunning and as brave as he likes but until someone links to that I shall just have to continue gushing about how amazing he is choosing to live as his authentic self.

go Ryan (the girls version of the name Ryan that is. Not the male version that he so obviously isn't any more despite the pronouns still indicating male) you beautiful woman you

Hooray! Gotcha to those who made the stupid rule that thinking you are a woman makes you one.

This is a truly historic and deeply emotional moment for Delaware County, to have its first lesbian woman of colour serve on its council. The diversity Ryan will bring to politics is long overdue.
