Just wondering what people think about her. I was sent a link by someone, and I do occasionally try to watch the views of pro-trans people for "balance", but I really struggled with this one.

I find her excessively pleased with herself, incoherent, ageist and of course prone to flinging around insults such as "TERF", "transphone" and "bigot" every few minutes.

I'm not quite sure what gives her the confidence to "diss" people like Helen Joyce, Richard Dawkins et al, as if they're idiots and she is some sort of intellectual giant.

She says things like this: "The UK's Supreme Court ruled on "biological sex", but they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. The "Gender Critical" position on biology is just factually wrong. Finally hundreds of experts in the field come together to call out all this anti-science rubbish"

Other than being trans herself, does she have any justifiable claim to the superior knowledge she purports to have?

I KNOW HE'S A MAN!!!!

Why do you say he is a wanker?

I just want to know whether I can trust my judgement that he's spouting a load of crap.

Yeas he’s well known for spouting a load of old rubbish. The same old rubbish most TRAs spout tbf.

I actually love Monty😁 Of all the TRAS he is a complete dafty & has been a gift to "Let them speak" - there was a time I was convinced he was an inside man.
Talks complete bobbins & not a working brain cell to back it up.

Apparently a sizeable list of doctors and biologists wrote to the Supreme Court recently objecting to the ruling (the primary objection being the claim that sex in humans is binary). Do their arguments hold any weight?

Where is the document and what does it claim?

I agree, but clearly plenty of people do think he has something of value to say.

Do you believe this?

He's an unhinged man who genuinely seems to believe that he has changed sex and has biological female in his bio on his Bluesky account.

Has spent years doing his best to get women's legal right to single sex spaces revoked.

He's an absolute horror.

If they're using words like woman and man but don't know what they mean when they use them, then why on Earth would anyone think they had anything of value to say on the matter?

I can't speak about this person specifically, but generally I would look at:
Are they clear about what they mean when they use terms?
Are they able to set out their own point of view, and the opposing point of view, clearly and accurately?
Are the arguments against the opposing point of view factually true and logically sound?
Do they employ fallacies such as appeal to authority, straw man arguments, etc?
Are they happy to set out where they do agree with their opponents and can they specify at which point their views diverge?

If no, then they're probably not making a sound argument.

What people think about him….

So rather than just correcting pronouns, what do you think of him?

I only know him as one of those men who pretends to be a woman.

The thing is that the Supreme Court judgment doesn't deal with "what being trans is", so being trans doesn't make you any more qualified to know what you're talking about than any other bugger.

No, I agree. I don't set much store by "lived experience", at least when it comes to matters requiring any sort of specialist knowledge.

He's a man, by the way.

Yes, ok, him. Don't really need three people to say it.

Does anyone have anything else to add?
