Rishi is a bully because he says 'a man is a man'

I like that: “Life’s tough, get a helmet, man (or woman)” 😊

I love the Candace Owens clip where a multi-hued haired woman stands up to ask a question, and Candace in a tone that just screams sarcasm (because she can just TELL this is a trans-ally by the hair colour), "hello", and the woman asks, "what do you have to say to all the trans students on this campus who actively feel victimised by your presence here today?" and Candace replies wryly, "Life's tough, get a helmet man. I'm too pregnant for this today. Next question", and everyone in the audience claps, whistles and CHEERS. Ah, I love that clip.

Absolutely, @Boiledbeetle

you can't replicate female genitalia. he just had a superficially similarly look. he doesn't have female genitalia because he's not female.

And another thing..

I Didn't say i was glad he didn't work, I said I was glad he was no longer doing that particular job. It not as if he's penniless on the street corner now is it.

Any other field of medicine not a problem, if I've got a raging ear infection, if my left little toe is falling off, if I've just broken my arm rollerblading, It's not an issue, he can present how he likes, and I have no problem with him treating me.

It's specifically the gynacologist bit that gives me the ick.

he spent his medical working life in a field that 100% understands the difference in sexes. To do that and then go on "I'm a woman". How dare he! He of all people should know that that is bloody impossible.

So yes it gives me the Fucking ick!

🤔 wonder if Rishi is being hounded out of his job and receiving death/ rape threats as a result of his comments? Other people have done the ground work and paid a huge price then cowards come along to claim victory. Always the way.

I mean…… you can be gender critical but saying a qualified doctor “gives you the ick” because of their gender and you’re glad they don’t work is a bit much, no?

so many people are trying to show how being gender critical isn’t the same as transphobia, this comment doesn’t help the cause

Very glad they are now no longer a gynaecologist. That line gave me the ick.

What though on hamely fare we dine,
Wear hoddin grey, an’ a that;
Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine;
A Man’s a Man for a’ that...

Farewell, Rabbie Burns. You had a good run, but we regret to inform you that you have now been cancelled. (We're still going to celebrate Burns Night because there's alcohol, but henceforth your works will be attributed to Emma Watson.)

The reaction to his comments are sinister, and it's very similar to the outrage over JKR, say something moderate and sensible that no one can argue against and then attack them heavily.

It sends out a message to everyone else to keep quiet on the subject.

Any man who demands to be called a woman is a bully and a denier of women's lived experiences. So no, I don't care what de Sutter says because I think 'she' is a despicable human being who doesn't bother to check 'her' own privilege. De Sutter is just having a tantrum because someone is trying to put the brakes on De Sutter's disgusting demands.

Sutter was a gynaecologist??

😬🤮

I agree. I hope they have a peaceful and happy life. But I do not think the fact that they are or were vulnerable gives them a free pass from criticism.

This person is making their living with jokes about toilets and sport and women losing their jobs over pronouns.

Forgive me if I did not find that funny on the day when I saw a traumatised Jo Phoenix break down giving tearful evidence because she believes women should have their own toilets and sports and pronouns. And who as a teenager suffered the kind of traumas most of us only see in our worst nightmares

As ever the sensitivity and 'be kind' only seems to run one way.

I thought the audience seemed very enthusiastic about Bethany Black's comments when I listened on the radio.... [now wondering if it was the same soundtrack] and I agree about their voice. Hope transition has made their life better.

I hope Sunak tells him to fuck off.

I think we all know who the actual bullies are . . .

It's on shortly. I must have a listen. Interesting move to put a TW comedian on a very 'talky' radio show as there are no visuals, only a voice and voices don't lie.

Bully is another word that appears to have had its meaning changed.
