Linehan tweeting misogyny and racism now

Seems to have completed his lurch to the far-right - in addition to his vocal support of Trump, I suppose his 'defender of women and girls' schtick doesn't really wash any more...

Imane Khelif has DSD, a condition which gives her testosterone. Sure, maybe it gives her an advantage, but it's a completely natural condition. Should we ban basketball players for being too tall next?

Oh dear.
Seems you need to do a bit of reading about the DSD 5-ARD.

Women don’t produce testosterone in the male range. Men with internal testicles do though.

Don’t embarrass yourself showing your ignorance on this topic - stick to your smearing and character assassinations instead.

Imane Khelif is male with a male DSD.

Sorry, but that's empirically not true. Look it up literally anywhere. She is not trans.

Show quote history

Having a DSD is not the same as being trans. You seem a bit ignorant.

Did you really just start a thread to try and make random women on here responsible for everything Glinner says online?

GiddyGiddyGiddy · 18/07/2026 01:26

Again, that's just not true. You're just blatantly wrong. Imane Khelif was born female. Find me literally any source that says she was born male.

The source is his DNA test.

I was having trouble sleeping but having perused another boring leftist attempt at character assassination I can feel myself nodding off. So thanks for that. 👍

No one is saying he's trans, he's a man with a dsd. Who was raised female, possibly, but isn't.

Celebrating diversity is great… we should absolutely do that! Diversity is a marked element of what 21st century Britain is, compared with a century ago, and the country is richer for it.

But “diversity built Britain” is a rather odd statement for a country that’s centuries old, no?

Show quote history

The coin doesn't even mention race - but even if it did... Brunel's structures were built by slaves brought in through Bristol. So yes, black people literally did build much of Britain.

Also... Do you think one coin should encompass a history over a thousand years? Or do you think that maybe, maybe, it'd be nice to acknowledge that, over the last century, the country has become more diverse? Again, I'm really interested to know what we're celebrating by not acknowledging this...

Nobody is claiming Khelif is trans, least of all the person you’re quoting. Khelif has a DSD that affects only males, and thus does not belong in any women’s sport.

Because apparently two things can't be true at the same time - we should actually never celebrate diversity because Isambard Kingdom Brunel built Britain all on his own! 🙄🙄🙄

Imane Khelif is a male with a male DSD. He shouldn’t have been in a boxing ring with women. It’s shameful that he was.

And, quite frankly, are you not embarrassed to be defending him by tying yourself in knots to deny the obvious fact that he's a misogynist?

GiddyGiddyGiddy · 18/07/2026 01:09

I'm embarrassing myself? Do I need to find more examples of his misogyny? Claiming his ex-wife's show was shit once he was no longer involved in writing it? Leading a witch-hunt against Imane Khelif despite her not being trans? Vocally, enthusiastically supporting 'grab-them-by-the-pussy' Trump? I'm sick of him being held up as any sort of defender of women's rights despite clearly having no interest in women's rights outside of his own ego.

Exactly how much leeway are you happy to give him just because you agree with him on one subject?

OP posts:
Ereshkigalangcleg · 18/07/2026 01:07

I was agreeing with the poster saying that it’s a reach that he wants to remove women’s suffrage. Not debating anything else he’s said, he has said some very silly things before. Not engaging further because I literally CBA. It’s not interesting, it’s predictable.

Sorry - what was the point of the tweet then? Celebrating the extrajudicial killing of a woman protesting Trump and ICE? Is that feminist??

OP posts:
Ereshkigalangcleg · 18/07/2026 01:02

Glinner can be a complete twat at times, but I don’t believe he thinks women should lose the vote. As I said, the op had to explain what the 19th amendment was - because no one outside of the US is going to have a clue. He quite clearly skipped over that bit - it wasn’t the substantive point of the tweet, and I think it’s all a bit of a desperate purity spiral to demand women here condemn him. Criticise him, whatever. Don’t give a fuck. Don’t expect me to get worked up over his tweets.

Workisntworking · 18/07/2026 01:01

OP: you're embarrassing yourself.
He's done more to fight misogyny than I expect you have.

Truly, I would love to hear the explanation of why we shouldn't celebrate diversity. Seriously, I'll sit here and read it, please enlighten me.

Nah, your applying your own interpretation and spin on glinner’s tweets, without any evidence.

The first one: he’s pointing out the irony of an Irish exam featuring a question about the patriarchy, given that Ireland is dismantling women’s rights, including introducing self-ID and placing ‘Barbie Kardashian’ in a women’s prison. Is it far right to question a violent sex offender being placed in a prison with a mother and baby unit?

The second one: you’re surprised that a man who was cancelled, and experienced people trying to segregate him from the successful work he produced, comes out against that happening to another man? You don’t understand what he’s driving at, so you assume misogyny?

The third one: London 2012… Isambard Kingdom Brunel built Britain! Royal Mint 2026… diversity built Britain! Lots of people might raise an eye at that coin, yet you assume glinner must be racist.

Again, you're the one on the feminism board mocking the idea that an exam might suggest the patriarchy exists. I'm no fan of genderism, but are you seriously letting one issue inform your entire concept of feminism? I know feminists who are pro-trans, and I have no doubt that they are committed even if I disagree with them on this issue. Or does 'purity politics' only cut one way?
