I’m gutted, I’m such a huge fan of his. I’ve been hugely looking forward to the second series of Good Omens.

And now this. When challenged on it, apparently he said “I’m OK, TERFs can’t climbs stairs”.

How very disappointing.

Put yourself in his position. His kid has been sucked into this. And he is probably trying to show his support.

He will know that you can't change sex. I imagine this is his very poor, privileged way of showing his kid he's not a 'bigot'.

It's disappointing but entirely unsurprising.

I say this as the mother of a son who is in the throes of it, dating a transman. It's fucking hard work and kids know how to manipulate their parents with this stuff now. I imagine he's doing what he thinks will salvage his relationship with his child.

@SidewaysOtter - I think the Twitter account is not him, I mean

I don’t think he has a Twitter account, I’ve only seen this referenced from other accounts/news pages.

@GrammarTeacher thank you for posting. I’ve got a genuine question - what does “leave trans kids alone” mean to you? Are you not troubled by the mountains of evidence that the protocols followed for gender non conforming kids are harmful? That the Tavistock had to be closed because it was dangerous for kids? Do the stories of de transitioners not worry you at all? The fact the same sex attracted and autism kids have been so over represented? That children are being sterilised, having their future sexual function removed and being put at increased risk of heart disease and certain cancers?

do you think we are “freaks” for being concerned about this?

I'm really keen to leave kids who identify as trans alone. I don't want them to bind and amputate their breasts and take cross sex hormones and puberty blockers to make them sterile and debilitated.

Exactly, let them be until they are in a position to make a reasoned, adult decision

People who disagree with you on this issue are not handmaidens. We are not doing it for the approval of men. We just disagree with you.
I'm with DT on this one and it's no news that he supports trans people.

What? You think people can change sex? Interesting. What led you to believe that?

I think it's a fan account. I don't think it's actually him

It’s all over the press - and Pink News - that he wore the T-shirt above at the launch of Good Omens.

You’re ok with children being taught they’re born in the wrong body because they don’t adhere to arbitrary gender stereotypes?
Ok then. Happy to disagree with you.

"We are not doing it for the approval of men."

@GrammarTeacher so why are you doing it? To ruin kids lives? Or just for shits and giggles? You're so doing for the approval of men.

Erm, that's a bit of a weird statement.

Show quote history

Why?

Can you explain a bit more about why you believe that it's OK to teach children that they can be 'born in the wrong body' and encourage them to take medication which will result in them being infertile adults with impaired sexual function?

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.

I know. Do these people not read??

Oh FFS. I was such a fan. I knew he was quite woke (I know people on here don't like that word) but I thought it was fairly harmless hippy dippy stuff, not blatant misogyny.

CarbonNeutral · 11/07/2023 20:10

What a fucking disappointment.
