David Tennant seemingly hates women

I identify as a fit healthy 25 year old millionaire.

<waits for the magic to happen>

He said that "acknowledging that everyone has the right to be who they want to be... should be common sense" - which is surely correct

Woof! There's no way at all this is gonna go wrong. Let's see...

• "I identify as a thief."
• "I identify as an embezzler."
• "I identify as a corrupt politician."
• "I identify as an incompetent professional."
• "I identify as a pedophile."
• "I identify as a murderer."

Essentially he wants to live in a world where people don't have those views.

Definition of "bigot" according to Merriam-Webster:

a narrow-minded person who obstinately adheres to their own opinions and prejudices
especially : one who strongly and unfairly dislikes or feels hatred toward others based on their group membership

Not exactly. The lawsuit was dismissed with the judge saying it was the wrong jurisdiction and it ought to take place in New Zealand
He cannot be "cleared" as there were no criminal charges.
Most people seem to think he's guilty though as other incidents have been revealed since.

Tennant did not say that "feminists like Kemi shouldn't exist any more". He said that "acknowledging that everyone has the right to be who they want to be... should be common sense" - which is surely correct - and his remarks about Badenoch not existing had nothing to do with her being a feminist (and she obviously isn't). They were made in the context of her denying people's right to be who they want to be, which, goodness knows, she does in a number of contexts, not just the trans one. Essentially he wants to live in a world where people don't have those views. He is certainly not advocating for mass extermination of bigots.

As for suggesting that he is criticising Badenoch because she is a feminist, how would you square that with her view that maternity pay is taking from one group of people and giving to another and is excessive, and her wish to scrap the Public Sector Equallity Duty?

He is just a man who pretends to be other men for a living. Why actors' opinions are sought about anything other than their craft I really don't know. Who cares what they think. Just put on a good show, bank the money and fuck off.

I dont think DT is a good actor. He is shouty.

I think in Rivals he is too much pantomime villian.

In Dr Who, he was great at promoting the show...but acting ....hmm...

Lol since when has being convinced you're right been a problem? Certainly isn't on this board.

Genuinely wouldn't surprise me.

Yep, Willoughby is another one. Literally same age as JK Rowling, as well as old enough to be my father, and yet I've seen him tweet to tell JK that her age makes her irrelevant.

Does he identify as trans-age, too?

Both he and his wife are vile. He’s an insufferable idiot who is not as good an actor as he thinks, and she’s a talentless nepo baby who has jumped on the trans band wagon with a manic fervour as she sees it gains her woke points.

It's like when that aching bawsack Willoughby talks about the 'old biddy mafia' or some such shite when referring to women who believe in women's rights. He's the best part of twenty years older than me.

(Fucks sake. Edited for spelling)

Agreed.completely.

As an aside, every time I read that a celebrity or person with a significant media presence has expressed a hope-slash-conviction that us objecting and objectionable women will die soon, I google that individual's age.

Without fail, they're always 15-30 years older than me. Dave included. Odd.

Totally agree!

Everyone is who they are.

It is important to make a distinction between a statement that everyone is who they ‘are’, when this reflects material reality (which is true) vs that everyone is who they say they are when this doesn’t reflect material reality and only their subjective reality or their aspirations (which is only accurate in reflecting what they believe they are or wish to be).

Nice try at white washing the broad smears targeted at trans women as being only about risk factors for single spaces when we both know the dehumanising mocking applies regardless.

MN, X & Facebook are cess pools of ridicule & degradation of transpeople period that exists irrespective of single sex spaces.

What you are asking for is that we give the men who are trans women special access that the men who are not trans women don't get.

What I'm saying is you lack consistency in applying your risk principle as mentioned upthread.

Are all trans women deluded? I don't know. But 100% certainly all trans women are sexist, because the belief that the fundamental and defining difference between men and women is that our minds are different, and all the shit that happened and happens to female people because of our physical sex isn't relevant to being a women or to the existence of women's spaces and women's rights is sexist as fuck.

The idea that only the body & not the mind would have evolved with a reproductive function is scientifically illiterate. Yes, men & women overlap psychologically but also vary.
