David Tennant

People who disagree with you on this issue are not handmaidens. We are not doing it for the approval of men.

Actually someone going along with it because they are desperate for the approval of men would be a better excuse than just liking the idea of curing gay and/or confused kids with drugs and surgery.

When this is over people will be rushing to say "well I never did agree with it of course"

He is a Scot who rose to fame by playing a Sci-fi character with an English accent.
It's called acting.
He had already been in Takin' over the asylum, Blackpool and Casanova before getting the role.
Loved him in There she goes and am looking forward to Good Omens 2.
If he wants to support his kid publicly, that's his choice.

i watched a programme about trans kids, got all the support from mum and dad, went and got the change thing and they were still bloody depressed, more so than bloody before. If my child comes to me about wanting to be a boy, I will just say no, you can do what you like when you’re 18.

Does it really say ‘you absolute freaks’ because that is a really offensive word, used against people with disabilities historically.

I'm absolutely heartbroken. So so disappointed

Absolutely. Leave trans kids alone.

Is his non binary kid the nepo baby who got a part in Casualty?

Oh dear another misogynistic man. Boring how the men side with the men in dresses.

Dr Who wasn't great on reality was he.

So disappointing!

@IAmSalmaFuckingHayek

is she? I don’t know anything about her. that’s interesting

Do you have to say everything you see on a t shirt? It shouldn't be on the t shirt and there is no need to copy the t shirt or to call people terfs or handmaidens. It is childish as is saying "he (the t shirt) started it." Don't most kids grow out of that before they leave primary school?

Yes I see someone got there first. Quite right. Life’s too short to worry about what silly prancers think.

Well done, David, you’re quite right, although it’s a bit rude and transphobic of you to call people “freaks” for wanting to put gender non-conforming kids on an irreversible medical pathway. Quite correct though that these kids should be left alone, as the vast majority will end up realising that they are gay or simply gender non-conforming, and will come to accept themselves as they are. The tiny minority who retain a trans identity can make an informed decision in adulthood as to whether hormone treatment and/or surgery is the way forward for them.

At the risk of being a miserable cow bag, I’m going to say that I don’t get the disappointment here.
he’s an actor. These are not people I look to for a sensible opinion on any matter of importance. I’d as soon ask the cat.

Absolutely

Tennant started it

Disappointing .
Really disappointing.

I like David through his acting and podcast though I disagree with him on this.

I think it's worth remembering that as well as his own child, it is likely in that industry that he is surrounded by people who believe that the trans movement is like/is part of the gay rights movement and is all about individual freedom to let people (ironically) be "themselves".

They also assume that all children who express gender cross identification are definitively future trans adults and do not have the knowledge that we do that the majority of them are not. So they see it as a kindness to accept this fated future as soon and as eagerly as possible.

And of course it is seen as a marker of how good and accepting a parent you are if you love your child unconditionally through even something that radical.

The other thing I get the sense of of from listening to detransitioners is how much faith parents and kids are putting in the medical professions and pathways. The idea that they could be so drastically wrong, unscientific and experimental seems unfathomable to them.

I'm disappointed with what he has said, and I hope that he and his family can learn the truth of all of this before any permanent damage is done.

He’s an actor - a good one, but still just an actor.
Presumably he’s up for a part and has to demonstrate his allegiance.

Another overpaid overprivileged woke twat showing his misogyny. Lost all respect for him now.

The t-shirt started it.

Is it just me or is everything all bollocks these days ?

Can we stop calling people freaks? We don't have to be rude when we disagree with people.

It isn't just men though, there are women who want to transition. Why are men getting all the blame?

How very fecking disappointing.
