Aibu to not be surprised he tried to twist the narrative?!
Aibu to be surprised at how uneducated & uninformed he was on the debate?
The debate was about sex M & F.
Both sexes were represented & both spoke. A TRA mp was at the debate but chose not to speak!
The comments under Rory O Neill's (aka Panti Bliss) tweet have pointed out his inaccuracies.

Lots of comments underneath his uneducated tweet explaining patiently that it was a debate about sex.. Both sexes represented & spoke. The were represented by a TRA Mp who chose not to speak.

Why have you started two threads on this in both AIBU and FWR?

It sounds like you have a very odd vendetta against this person.

I'm not sure what part of my post wasn't clear.

It's obvious you just want to start a pile on of sneering and laughing at this person.

Cheeriosaygoodbye · 13/06/2023 09:34

This tweet was completely incorrect. Are you also not aware that there was NO debate about trans people in Westminster yesterday. The debate was about sex. Male & Female. Both sides were well represented & spoke.
Panti Bliss obviously didn't tune in as there WAS a transgender MP there who chose not to speak!

None of that changes the fact you've blatantly started these threads just to generate a pile on.

Well why not point and laugh at such idiocy? "Dr Pantibliss" chose to make a tweet which is a big fat LIE so totally deserves to be laughed at.

bellinisurge · 13/06/2023 09:41

It's not a vendetta to show up a public figure for his idiocy. MN seems to hope this discussion will stay in one topic area.

I've never heard of this Panti Bliss or whatever he calls himself and I have no idea if he's a public figure. But starting multiple threads hoping to get others to join in with the pointing and laughing is pretty much a vendetta.

@BMW6 isn't that what was happening with "no debate".. No one is supposed to call out the bullshit! This was a blatent lie..

"Vendetta"? Not a bit

/vɛnˈdɛtə/

noun
noun: vendetta; plural noun: vendettas

  1. a blood feud in which the family of a murdered person seeks vengeance on the murderer or the murderer's family.
  • a prolonged bitter quarrel with or campaign against someone.
  • "he has accused the British media of pursuing a vendetta against him"
bellinisurge · 13/06/2023 09:49

@Flickersy , he is a well known and very public figure in Ireland. You know, that country which is a shining example of how self ID law causes no problems at all. Apart from all the examples from Limerick women's prison and in Irish sport and in education. Where the national broadcaster repeatedly refuses to cover it.

Trans rights activist? That tweet doesn't say they're pissed off about a TRA (activist) not speaking at all.. It says trans person.
I can kind of see the point - as one of the replies on there says, would you expect "debates" about others rights such as gay people made solely by straight people?
You'd think there'd be someone gay having a say too.
No difference here.

BMW6 · 13/06/2023 09:50

This thread is not a blood feud nor is it "prolonged and bitter".

Get over yourself.

Cheeriosaygoodbye · 13/06/2023 09:51

@Flickersy it completely undermines yesterday's debate to try & claim it was about trans people when is blatently about sex. Both sides Male & Female were represented by MPs. There is one trans MP who was present but chose not to speak. Panti claimed no trans person spoke. Only MPs allowed at the debate & the only one who could speak on behalf of the Transgender community chose not too.
His tweet was completely & utterly fabricated. These type of "inaccuracies" need to be called out & addressed.

There was a Trans MP present at the debate who could have spoken on behalf of the trans community but he chose not to!

@Flickersy panti bliss is well known in Ireland, and is a massive arsehole who is utterly contemptuous of women. He is a misogynist to the core, confirmed by the rubbish he comes out with over the last couple of years, but always known even by simpler things like the decor of his bar on Capel St.

I don't think talking about him makes us the ones to have a vendetta, when almost every time he opens his mouth/phone he shows how much he hates women.

Cheeriosaygoodbye · 13/06/2023 10:03

@falsepositivenervous I was actually very surprised at his tweet. As a gay man whose advocates for the trangender community his tweet showed he actually really honestly didn't have a clue about yesterdays debate...
A little research would have gone a long way..

One of the strongest weapons in the TRA armoury in Ireland is that "it's all right wing Brit shit". There is today a debate going on in the Irish Parliament about whether to pass a hate crime law that is so woolly and ill defined that having the book Trans by Irish writer Helen Joyce might be enough to get you arrested even if you never discuss with anyone what is in it.
SelfID was brought into Ireland by stealth using the brilliant and popular equal marriage legislation as a cover. It is having a catastrophic effect on women's rights in Ireland.
So, yes, this wanker deserves to be called out for his bullshit.
And, incidentally, it was Brit Shit women who helped Irish women access abortion services in the UK while Irish men like this knob did nothing.
Self ID became law in Ireland before Irish women had the right to access abortion services.
Same misogynist shit in Ireland with new dresses.

CwmYoy · 13/06/2023 10:09

Yet another bloke telling women what to think.

@bellinisurge it's excellent news that Helen Joyce is attending the Seanad. I hope to God she gets plenty of airtime. I doubt RTE will report much but hopefully the Dutch or Gript will have the full story.
