So Matthew Wright is correct

The chase guest said in a conversation about woman’s rights that Paris lees used to be a boy

Now Matthew was told to apologise on the guests behalf despite the show receiving no complaints he asked why he should considering no complaint has been made and the guest was factually correct Confused

Husband has now hit peak trans he was the one who pointed this out to me

Good for him!

Walkingdeadfangirl · 01/05/2018 20:23

Is this episode over a week old, as its wasn't last weeks Thursday?

LuluJakey1 · 01/05/2018 20:24

That is shocking. Good for him for standing up for fact and common sense.

MrsJayy · 01/05/2018 20:24

I think stating "you used to be a boy" is called dead naming so it causes offence or something.

MrsJayy · 01/05/2018 20:25

Oh the episode was weeks ago before Easter

Walkingdeadfangirl · 01/05/2018 20:26

Can we have some proof this is true? As so far it seems to be fake news.

Ann was very rude but perhaps it's inevitable that someone as in your face and vocal as Paris is going to get slapped back at some point. She's no stranger to the bitch claws herself.

Goldenbug · 01/05/2018 20:31

@MrsJayy - So when they disagreed about "the old boys' club" and Chase person said that Paris would know because she used to be a boy wasn't bitchy? She really thought that Paris has lots of useful contacts due to maleness? She thought that lots of Paris' former friends view her as 'one of the boys' and help her out professionally? She stated a fact, but in a bitchy way purely as a put-down.

Walkingdeadfangirl · 01/05/2018 20:31

I see no proof this is the reason why he left the show. Its fake news.

Sevendown · 01/05/2018 20:31

Facts are lies and the truth is a myth.

Goldenbug · 01/05/2018 20:33

And are we allowed to talk about this? We moan when the Wright Stuff talks about things that originated here after all. Wink

Walkingdeadfangirl · 01/05/2018 20:33

He has fallen out with the new production company over numerous issues. He is also getting older and is tired of the 4 am starts and also wants to try other things in his life. He did NOT quit over this one comment. OP is flaming.

Graphista · 01/05/2018 20:34

I stopped watching this a while back just found I was agreeing less with the views presented generally.

But on THIS Matthew is absolutely spot on.

Enough is enough!

I'm part of the lgbt community with trans friends and THEY'RE Starting to get fed up of this bullshit too! It's DAMAGING their cause not helping it.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 01/05/2018 20:35

Well done Matthew.

Graphista · 01/05/2018 20:35

Facts are lies and the truth is a myth.

Indeed we're living in fucking 1984!

PicklingGherkins · 01/05/2018 20:35

I agree with a pp, correlation (albeit loose) is not causation.

WingsOnMyBoots · 01/05/2018 20:38

Welcome to our new world. Very scary.

Serialweightwatcher · 01/05/2018 20:38

This world is going completely bonkers - now nobody is allowed to state a fact without people cacking themselves that there will be repercussions, but nobody complained because it was a fact! Good for him - people need to stop bowing down to this pc nonsense where everyone is offended by everything

ShackUp · 01/05/2018 20:39

He didn't walk over this one issue, but over a series of issues with the new production company. (I know this because my friend worked with him for years prior to this).

NapQueen · 01/05/2018 20:39

I have no issue with someone saying to someone who used to be a boy you used to be a boy. However there was no actual point to her saying it in the context of the conversation.

Discussion about men/women on Boards and the old "boys club" ethos. Anne thinks it doesnt exist. Other person does. Anne says "well you would know you used to be a boy" - makes no actual sense. Its not like all men on earth are party to secret knowledge about this sort f thing.

All it did was show Anne as being unable to formulate a decent counter argument / hold a debate without low and pointless and easy blows.

And I am a person who doesnt pander to the whole gender fluid malarky.

elderflowerandrose · 01/05/2018 20:40

Wow. I am shocked. Has he quit over this issue and only this? LOVE his show, think he is great.

What the hell is the world come to???

Mark if you are reading....you are wright to stick to your principles, you will get a better deal with other channels. THEIR LOSS!!!!!

What do you mean by "the Left are throwing 50% of the population for 1% of the population"?
