Rylan

I read that some gay men don’t really like? Get? Understand? Women (apart from his mum I guess!)

Oh love. Give it a rest. The faux outrage is er…. Cringe.

To be fair, as non binary means not confirming to gender stereotypes, I’d say nearly 100% of people are non binary so we’re all under the trans umberella. So yay!

Are you being deliberately obtuse? The point is that women in hospital and other care settings want the choice of wanting to be cared for by people of the same sex.

WTAF?! Are you…. Are you suggesting that any carers, female, male, trans, are SEXUALISING ELDERLY CARE???

Wow. That’s a new low on here. Thought I’d seen all the twisted hate I could, on here, but wow.

Sexualising care. Just wow.

One thing pretty disappointing on this thread is how may people have commented on his looks as a reason to not like him.

He seems like a good bloke, especially how he supported Lucy Spraggon.

All being men. So 1 in 4.5 men.

I think he just doesn’t understand the issues. He’s another one who thinks if we just got to know some trans people we’d change our minds. He’s very close with his mum though, I wonder what his response would be if she was on a ward with a TW and didn’t want to be.

Wow so judgy and harsh

Me too

Eurovision is very interesting when it comes to focusing on trans people and all of the (perfectly justifiable) mass publicity surrounding their achievement, considering that, of the last 27 winners, no fewer than 3 of them have come under the trans+ umbrella (trans, drag queen and non-binary).

Are 1 in 9 people in everyday life across the whole of Europe trans?!

Yes, I felt the same. V disappointed ☹️.

Same. That was really, really shocking, tbh. Surrogacy is so disgusting, and to think Adichie would do this as opposed to critique it made me lose a great deal of respect for her. Actually, I lost all of it.

It's disappointing but, like all men, he doesn't have the female lived experience to know the threat certain males pose.
In his ignorance, surrounded by wealth, he is even further from the people who are most affected by the gender cult lies.
He'll never be in a changing room, ward, loo, prison, need intimate care and be faced with being female having a male invade the space.
He's privileged so thinks he's being nice to people with needs, missing the point that their needs aren't accessing opposite sex spaces but in getting healthcare to resolve dysphoria.

Ah of course, you can't be intelligent unless you have the necessary certificates.
I know many smart people who left school without A levels. People who went to uni used to be very much in the minority, not that long ago.

I like Rylan so this is disappointing

He is only 36??? No way! Sorry not the point but I am really shocked, I thought he was much older. I think it's fine that a gay man with presumably trans friends will speak out in support of trans people but we all have our own perspective on things, as long as women are free to also have their say and are listened to it doesn't matter what he thinks.

How much are they paying you Rylan?

I agree

I also agree with Coatsoff42

and maybe showing how some trans people (as there have always been people who have lived as the opposite sex) living ordinary lives, not all highly sexualised and showing us women how to be women nonsense and demanding use of our spaces

or stories about women who have lived as men as there are a few really interesting historical stories

Rylan was lovely to Lucy Spraggan and kept this quiet for years until she wanted it out in the open. I cannot imagine he would want harm to come to any woman.

He’s not well, all that preening in the mirror and the glare from his teeth reflected back into his eyes have burnt substantial holes in his brain.

He’s as thick as two short planks. I love radio 2 but I put my own music on when he’s doing his programme.

This sums up everything I think too.

That’s like saying we should accept misogyny. It’s not that FWR don’t like it. It’s that it’s misogyny. Its fundamental. It’s unacceptable. It’s thinking it’s ok to remove women’s rights in favour of men’s rights. And we don’t want that from anyone, do we? It’s disappointing when a person we thought got it, either doesn’t get it (doubtful), or is too afraid to tell the truth because of the hideous TRAs etc.

I really like Rylan’s presenting and disagreeing with him on something doesn’t change my view of him. A bit tired of metaphorically putting anyone who makes any statement that FWR doesn’t like in the stocks. The whole point of campaigning on structural things like the legal definition of women/ female categories should be to allow room for different views within the law, including views that the law itself may need changing.
