You are safe with me

I saw this on Twitter as David Tennent was wearing one. I’m sure his intention is good but it gave me weird vibes. Can he guarantee that everyone who is wearing one is ‘safe’ to be around? Am I overthinking this?

It's yet another deliberate ploy on conflating "acceptance" ie your gender ID is accepted, with "safety" ie your chosen gender will never be in danger from person wearing the badge, because they've accepted you for who you are.

Of course, no thought given to the ramifications of this.

Creepy.

Makes me think of the snake 🐍 in Disney Jungle Book “Trust in meeeeee 🎶”

I should add I don’t find Tennant creepy, just that badge.

Then again I was taught as a child never trust that strangers are who they say they are, always reserve judgement. I think that badge is promoting the opposite and very dangerous philosophy.

That would make me walk away from him VERY quickly. I read it as a bit "all the better to eat you with, my dear", I'm afraid.

Really very creepy

I'd run a mile from that.

No doubt Jimmy Saville would have DELIGHTED in wearing one of these back in the day, had it existed then.

Sounds dodgy AF

I’m with you OP, really creepy vibes.

That's like Wayne Couzens saying "Trust me, I'm a policeman".

No, you’re not overthinking it. I’m sure Tennant means well but it’s creepy and I’d question the motives of anyone who wore one around kids.

That kind of 'safe' is really 'I won't challenge your views ever' isn't it?
