James is going to be discussing trans issues today on LBC. His show is on now - not sure what time the segment will start, but should be good!

I think that's why simectrnsexuals are furious at self ID. 'I went through all this - for you to just walk in the ladies in a dress?'

ATROCIOUS TYPING
Some transexual people

Pratchet for a second there I thought 'simectrnsexuals' must be the latest term Grin

Pratchet · 22/03/2018 00:22

Ha ha! I saw someone describing themselves as having 'grey ace' sexuality and I felt so sorry for the poor kid. She'd obviously looked it up on a chart.

The underlying tragedy of all these new sexualities is that they are being invented as a way for 12 year old girls to refuse giving blow jobs at recess to pornsick weasels.

It is so awful. This particular girl was identifying as a boy. So sad.

For those that missed it live. I have no words for the YouTube comments section.
thebewilderness · 22/03/2018 19:00

Oh Em Gee, I appear to have said something bad but I do not remember what.

SwearyG · 22/03/2018 19:04

God I shouldn’t have read the comments.

Argh just listening to this now. What a patronising cock. For the record, 'terf' is an insult because:

It's loaded with untrue allegations such as terfs are racists, violent, want to stop trans people existing, reduce women to their vaginas etc.

It's used to dehumanize any woman who doesn't accept trans ideology. 'Terfs' are inhuman, deserve to be killed, MUST be silenced by all means etc.

Sometimes a word can be descriptive but toxic because of its use. 'Trannie' is one example.

want to stop trans people existing

For me this is the main untrue allegation and a trope reiterated by Paris Lees along with the transkids suicide rates that don't actually translate to kids suicide rates at all: "I have to justify my existence all the time" etc. etc.

Honestly, who really cares whether PL is trans? Who really is thinking and saying that transpeople shouldn't exist or have rightst???

PL clearly had an absolutely fucked up childhood and am glad for PL that they've managed to reestablish a relationship with one of the parents after such rejection and found a niche that means they are celebrated.. Shame it's at the expense of so many people but PL is not alone in that. That horrendous "I love catcalls" article makes a lot of sense given PL's childhood and life as a rent boy who did a jail term.

It's a whole bundle of shit that we would all be pitying but because PL was "pretty" before the facial feminisation surgery and even more so now, whatever nonsense PL says is gospel to many and it's why Jack Munroe (who I think is a very naturally attractive women- not that it should count but it does) is feeling "overlooked" and talking about all the "death threats" she has.

Someone on PL's most recent twitter thread earlier was hoping Germaine Greer would die soon (the tweeter was called out by one person). These are not the "death threats" that are being talked about because unattractive "old" women with opinions can just do one, more so than JM and even more so than PL.

The pecking order is clear.
