He has been fighting long and hard for the repeal the 8th vote, and rightly so, but now he has been getting shit on Twitter for his views.

I’d link but I use the twitter app and I don’t know how too.

I love that fight scene in the IT Crowd. It shows just how bloody silly and slapstick it is to say that men can become women just because they say so.

Magpiesarehuge · 31/05/2018 20:13

Strange, just pressed on the link to one of his tweets and he’s blocked me
although been following him for s while.

He is unrepentant. And still going at it:

Performatively woke =

  1. people inventing my opinions on trans issue, as that last guy just did, even though I have never shared them on Twitter for the reasons outlined here
  1. People who share threads accusing me of transphobia for objecting to ‘terf’, which is a misogynistic term used to dehumanise and ‘other’ women for the crime of having a different opinion.
  1. People who assume I have a problem with trans people because I clearly don’t agree with every aspect of current gender ideology. Again, disagreement is not violence and stop pretending it is.
  1. Men (oh my God, so many men) who feel confident enough to tell women who is and isn’t a woman, and shout them down and abuse them when they don’t fall into line. You. Are. Misogynists.

Go Graham! Grin

There will definitely be an episode of the IT crowd watched here tonight!

tobee · 01/06/2018 21:42

It's that word again:- "screeches at them that they will never be what they feel"

Yeah, I was 50 a couple of months ago. Some days I feel 25, others about 12, some days about 402. I'm still 50 though. I think I will campaign to be able to change my birth date on my birth certificate.

Welcome, Graham! You're in good company.

This guy is an amazing ally to women. Fucking hero

Graham Linehan is a Terf.
ToeToToe · 01/06/2018 22:10

He is a hero. Thanks Graham. And I bloody love Father Ted & IT Crowd. (Of course - classic comedy Grin )

TerfsUp · 01/06/2018 22:13

I'm not sure the woke generation have actually read 1984

I'm not sure that the woke generation can think critically, so reading Lord of the Flies or 1984 would result in whooshing sounds rather than a re-think of issue.

ChattyLion · 01/06/2018 22:17

He is a proper good un. Excellent that he is putting this issue out there.

Ereshkigal · 01/06/2018 22:17

I've argued with some of the Corbyn youth about Orwell on Twitter. IME they really don't get it. I've had several tell me that I don't understand Orwell and have interpreted it wrongly.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 01/06/2018 22:22

"I've had several tell me that I don't understand Orwell and have interpreted it wrongly."

Gin spilled! That's exactly why we are in this fucking mess. They just make stuff up. Centuries of philosophy, science and nomenclature and they want to tank it all for their feelings.

We really all are in fucking trouble if we let this happen

Melamin · 01/06/2018 22:24

Ha! just been watching Father Ted!! Grin

I hear you're a transphobe now, Graham Wink

Ereshkigal · 01/06/2018 22:26

Centuries of philosophy, science and nomenclature and they want to tank it all for their feelings.

Indeed. It's so arrogant. Which is fitting for an ideological movement driven by obsessive narcissism.

LangCleg · 01/06/2018 22:39

Centuries of philosophy, science and nomenclature and they want to tank it all for their feelings.

Yep.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 01/06/2018 22:46

I hear you're a transphobe now, Graham Grin
I feel a Tedathon coming on.
There was a thread recently on who would you choose if you could bring one ‘celebrity’ back from the dead and have one made immortal.
George Orwell and Glinner, I think.

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 01/06/2018 22:49

I hear you're a transphobe now, Graham

Oh someone, please, tweet that to him

And YES to that thread decision

Poor bastard is getting dog's abuse on twitter

TerfsUp · 01/06/2018 23:28

From that Twitter account: "TERFs actively tried to hinder the repeal efforts" and "We have the receipts of TERFs claiming abortion is about men's "access to careless sex", we know how they're inviting neo-nazis to their meetings, they're a hate group."

I wish there was some kind of reality check that people had to pass before being allowed a Twitter account.

ToeToToe · 02/06/2018 00:26

They're all barking.

What are they trying to prove to him? Just how barking and abusive they really can be? They think that's going to win him round? Confused

Ereshkigal · 02/06/2018 00:46

What are they trying to prove to him? Just how barking and abusive they really can be?

I think they're constantly striving to do that.

LightofaSilveryMoon · 02/06/2018 00:57

Oh dear. Have his "oh so woke" critics even ever watched Father Ted?!

ToeToToe · 02/06/2018 01:04

I think we have to come to the conclusion that some of the woke generation read books without fully understanding the point, and watch comedy shows without getting it at all.
