Closet TERFs

Fair enough, as that TWAW is from ‘Kathbum’. What do you expect when someone talks out of their arse?

I can imagine that Victoria Coren-Mitchell is quite TERFY

She's also been accused of saying the wrong thing in her column before. Notice it tends to be directed at women when people pore over their work and social media for the tiniest evidence that they may not completely hold the accepted opinion.

Konnie Huq has been targeted by online TRA trolls for the sin of liking a terfy post before. Can't remember who but it was someone like Kathleen Stock. Charlie has never commented on trans stuff that I know of so at this stage I would assume that he's at least mildly gendersceptical.

I agree that Charlie Brooker is too smart to agree that TWAW

I can imagine that Victoria Coren-Mitchell is quite TERFY (and her husband: he’s best mates with long standing TERF Robert Webb)

Oh dear - although I tend to think spouses agree more than siblings... I certainly am more aligned with my partner than my brother. Anyway, total speculation on Konnie. I just really can't imagine Charlie Brooker blithely agreeing with the TWAW mantra. The subject of 'society being captured by gender ideology' would make a cracking Black Mirror episode if he were brave enough! It's already pretty dystopian in reality 😂

@WitchyWitcherson i don’t know about Konnie Huq but her sister Rupa is an MP and has been dreadful on this issue.

Boxer Barry McGuigan has come out:

Upstart Crow - that was written by Ben Elton wasn't it? I've not seen the terfy jokes in that. But he also wrote Identity Crisis, which sends up the whole woke thing. (Though wasn't he also on thst notorious C4 Friday Night Live... So not sure about him, really).

I can't imagine Charlie Brooker being anything but a TERF, which means Connie Huq is probably (hopefully) a TERF too ❤️

Phoebe Waller-Bridge

There are quite a few sitcoms/comedy dramas around with suspiciously terfy jokes, Upstart Crow, White Lotus and Loudermilk for starters, must be some terves on those writing teams.

Vaguely recall Jesse and Katie on Blocked and Reported saying there is a movie coming out this year about all the purity spiralling and cancelling and sensitivity reader-ing in the world of Young Adult Fiction so that has the potential for big screen terfiness!

WRT Brianna, Jess named her separately to draw a distinction.

Jess named him separately to appease the mob. His name was Brett. Brianna is a girl's name.

Yes I agree. She's too bothered about being popular to come out though. She did speak well at the equality act debate which was amazing.

You set the bar low
How about reading Gloria Steinem

It has always irked me that Diane Morgan doesn’t get a writing credit on Cunk for ‘additional material’. She improvises so brilliantly - that’s all from her own initiative, not a script.

I'm sure she improvises when it comes to her interview scenes. But written for by the wonderful Charlie Brooker who created the character many years ago. Now I wish he was a terf.

Oh yes Aisling Bea is definitely TWAW camp, wonder about Sharon Horgan then?

It's amazing how few people are on this list. So many people have kept their mouths shut. They're all terfs and moral cowards

Thank you. She's a posho pickme who larps as a feminist and WC woman.

Moving away from the (understandable) white Brit woman bias on this thread, I'd be confident in saying that a fair chunk if not the majority of Black American female rappers are terfy as hell. Go on Lipstick Alley and you'll see that Black women are fed up of their womanhood being co-opted by the TWAW brigade (unsurprisingly, as it's shamefully racist).

Black female rappers have to content against a hugely misogynistic industry and many of them (Lil Kim, Mia X, Gangsta Boo (RIP), La Chat, Young MA, Scar Lip) have experienced pretty horrendous SA themselves. They know what a woman is, because women from poorer socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to be victims of misogynistic violence.

As an addition, it would be really interesting to see which sports stars are TWAW. Tom Daley obviously, but it’s not a crowded field - can we assume the others have a grasp of the physical reality of their sexed bodies?

Oh, no, I started watching her (fiction) comedy series (not the stand up.)

In it she's a potter from home making mugs in the shape of women with boobs etc. then she does a line with penises. It was too gushy to be irony or critical. So I don't think so. Though I can't see how she can be open about it.

I didn't find it as good as her stand up.

There’s a fascinating legal issues podcast called Double Jeopardy. The two men who run it (former DPP and another senior barrister) are pretty TERFY. One of their early guests was Professor Kathleen Stock.
