a list of men or companies who have stood up for us

485 replies

Like so many here, I have been disheartened by the lack of support from so many famous men, those I liked and or admired are now and will forever be in my blacklist. Same for companies.
This whole experience has been so hard and I thank all the incredible women who carried on and spoke for us...
However, who are the men who were on our side? Andrew Neil? Piers Morgan? There aren't many but would love to hear some names of those who put women first...

This is the thing, some men stand against it primarily because it’s harmful to women’s rights and some because the ideology is just so absurd.

Donald Trump does not stand up for women. Never has.

Edited

In the context of this board he has.

Sorry if not been mentioned yet but some Scottish ones:-

Kevin McKenna journalist for the herald
A couple of male Scottish comedians that I'm not going to name on case they aren't officially declaring themselves but when I went to some local comedy nights they were very biting and funny about how ludicrous it all was (and happily everyone laughed).
Fergus Ewing
Murdo Fraser
Russell Findlay
Wings over Scotland
Neal hanvey
Alex massie
The late Alex salmond (though don't know if that was politically motivated)
Duncan bannatyne

I don’t precisely remember what happened, but Bird’s Eye were asked to stop advertising on Mumsnet because of ‘transphobia’ and refused.

Yes I think their response to the request was "potato".

Donald Trump (sorry!)

I was thinking of posting that but I bottled it. 🤣

Best custard. Will buy a big pot to support them.

Boy George was definitely not on our side

Oh no. Brian May crumbled? Oh no. I love him, that’s so disappointing.

What would David Bowie have done? We’ll never know.

Show quote history

I like him, but I do get it, he's 77, had two heart attacks and a stroke, he's probably not up to the stress of it all.

But it is disappointing.

Donald Trump (sorry!)

Was there something about the makers of Tunnocks??

Best cakey-biscuits in the world! Will never give them up.

James Essex (he has been mentioned once but his name was misspelt!)

Gareth Roberts (not mentioned so far, I think)

Do you mean Esses?

There is no evidence at all that they support women and gender critical views.

I saw him at a festival and walked out when he started talking about and singing the song from the Crying Game. He came across as very pro trans. He was also that set an absolute wanker to one of his female backing singers.

Show quote history

Gone off him again. Thank you for clarifying.

I seem to remember Boy George rolling his eyes at women implying what a load of fuss just to go for a wee. Correct me if i’m wrong though. I went right off him!

The chap behind Legal Gengar (can't remember his name!)

Æthelred · 20/04/2025 20:28

Daniel ShenSmith - the Black Belt Barrister on YouTube. Notwithstanding the irritating use of camelcaps in his surname and being a bit of a windbag who loves his own voice, he's always called out the trans ideology for what it is.
