David Tennant

Yes. David Tennant has always felt like one of the good blokes and this is more evidence. I too stand with him.

For a minute I thought this was a crassly-worded but understandably angry statement against live medical experimentation on healthy children while denying them proper talking therapy and informed consent, telling them lies and multiple institutions allowing them to be groomed on social media and maybe at school…

And then I realised, Oh dear, David Tennant is just yet another uncritical birdbrain with a celebrity platform.

Who knows about anyone else’s family life but I wonder, is he being careerist and sucking up to the BBC, virtue signalling some kind of allyship to Yasmin Finney as the new Rose in Dr Who?

Because I’d say normally, don’t most parents consciously choose to support their preteen children’s immature thinking (about complex adult issues) very privately? And especially by avoiding making any public statement that would throw scrutiny back on their own family and in this case, could back young kids into an idealogical corner that could have serious consequences?

But no, his stupid aggressive comment about ‘TERFs’ shows he’s just your basic misogynist, delighted with the free pass that he now has to bash at women. What the fuck has making remarks about unspecified women got to do with ‘supporting’ his children? Or furthering his career? Seriously he should be having a good look in the mirror and asking himself why does he feel women having rights, hurts him?!

And I agree 100% with PPs that super privileged straight men such as he is, in general have absolutely no idea, imagination or conscience as to what their own luxury beliefs can contribute to and inflict on other people who don’t have any such cushioning.

The statement would presumably be aimed at either (1) people that are against surgery and meds for kids, (2) people that want trans kids to play on sports teams in accordance with their biological sex etc.

None of that is "persecution" without begging the question.

Kids date who they want to, surely?
As they're attracted to their choice of partner.
Do they go out with someone solely to get one up on their Mum /Dad and manipulate them?!
Sounds a bit "it ain't that deep bro" as mine would say!

Genune question, how is she?
Not seen that before.

That was supposed to quote @GrammarTeacher , not sure what happened there!

Yes! So good to see this response.
Doesn't he have a child who is non binary? That would explain his stance if so.
I'm a massive Dr Who fan and he's my favourite

Telling people who are campaigning for kids to be left alone to leave kids alone. That makes sense 🙄

I just saw that he non-binary child is bearly nine or just gone ten, the same age as my granddaughter who fortunately is still ignorant of all this rubbish.

David needs to look at the Vogue photoshoot to see where this is going for their 10 year old if he/she is left alone with the ideologists.

Nice. Use the word the thugs who kicked Sophie Lancaster to death were chanting to put your acceptance message across? Total muppet.

Yeah, it's a really brave public statement to make when the only backing you have is the national broadcaster and the largest commercial channels, three of the four main political parties, several of the largest newspapers, most of the main social media sites, the police, the civil service, the NHS...

Brave, brave David!

👏👏👏

Nailed it. He's not doing it against his own views to support his kid, he's doing it cos he's got a superficial understanding of the problem and his social set are full on TWAW. Media friendly feminism where girls can be anything they want as long as they are also attractive and supportive.

I'm the same. He's been in great stuff, Good Omens being the latest I've enjoyed watching. Anything outside that isn't worth fixating on (bar anything illegal).

I'd have been quite surprised tbh if he wasn't unremittingly woke.

I enjoy him as an actor but I've never seen any evidence he thinks outside the bubble of the entertainment industry norm.

I think he's siding with his child. As you would expect.

Sorry, my message makes no sense without the message it was replying to. Here is how it was meant to be:

It never fails to boggle me that people can think drugs which sterilise children and removing of healthy body parts is a GOOD idea and the people against it are the baddies. Especially now with the mountains of evidence against the Tavistock. I mean, it’s just completely bizarre logic defying cultist behaviour.

He's not saying that, though, is he? He just wants children like his own to be left alone and not persecuted, which hardly seems unreasonable.

I was a huge David Tennant fan and am disappointed to hear his views - of course he is entitled to his opinions. I strongly disagree with his standpoint.

I like David Tennant. I enjoy watching him act. I don’t care about his opinions.

I don’t know why anyone gives much credence to the opinions of celebrities. Unless they illustrate that they have expertise on a particular topic, they are no more qualified to speak than any other person. Some do the research and groundwork and then leverage their celebrity to make a real difference on tough issues. Most just seem to pay the same kind of lip service to causes that the rest of us do, with retweet’s and slogans.

Try again.

Yep, right there on the t-shirt.

Youre not the only one i watch everything hes on

really disappointed-how would a tenyear old know that theyre not ether sex

Did the second part of my post not suit your narrative. He is an actor. His stock in trade is unreality. Why would anything that he says IRL be relevant?

Goodness. There are some … disturbing people on that Vogue link.
