Tatchell wants to pin the murder of transwoman by boyfriend, on feminists.

A 25 year old man killed Tracy Single, a transwoman in the US.

They were dating.

Peter Tatchell has taken to Twitter to blame Tracy's death on feminists. This is outrageous propaganda, using Tracy's murder at the hands of a violent boyfriend to further Peter's misogynistic views on feminists.

Can we complain about this somewhere? This kind of outrageous propaganda is dangerous.

I would place good money on the fact that a feminist has not once in the history of the world murdered a transwoman.

NotTerfNorCis · 30/08/2019 13:32

TRAs do this all the time. Any murder of a trans person is always 'transphobic' which means feminists are to blame.

CadburysTastesVileNow · 30/08/2019 13:34

How many non-trans women have been killed by violent boyfriends this year, eh Peter?

ArnoldWhatshisknickers · 30/08/2019 13:34

Yeah, because only feminists are 'transphobic', no one else in any society, anywhere fails to consider TWAW in all circumstances.

Shouldn't Tatchell be concentrating on explaining why he thinks sex between adults and nine year olds is just fine and dandy?

TheShoesa · 30/08/2019 13:35

How awful that Tracy lost their life at the hands of their boyfriend.

Of course Tatchell blames feminists. I agree it's outrageus but much easier to attack women than look address the real problem of male violence.

bd67th · 30/08/2019 13:38

Since when have violent men listened to feminists? This is male violence, motivated by male fragility, male entitlement, and male dominance.

My sympathies are with Tracy's family and friends, as it is with all victims of male violence.

Piss off Tatchell, your two-faced hypocrisy shines like a lighthouse.

TerfTalk · 30/08/2019 13:38

What a horrible comment.

Someone has been murdered, and people are using it to point-score.

I feel bad for the victim’s family. As if they aren’t dealing with enough right now, they’re being dragged into a narcissistic debate.

ErrolTheDragon · 30/08/2019 13:39

How many non-trans women have been killed by violent boyfriends this year, eh Peter?

And come to that, how many non-trans gay men by other men (whether boyfriends or not).

There's a common factor and it isn't feminists.

THe statistics show that transwomen are most at risk from their partners; ie those who do radars them as women, or at least claim to do so

AlwaysComingHome · 30/08/2019 13:40

‘Regard’

ALittleBitofVitriol · 30/08/2019 13:40

We also withered their crops and put worms in their apples.

witches terfs, innit?

zebrasdontwearbras · 30/08/2019 13:43

Tatchell makes me sick.

Really Peter? This man killed this trans MTF because of what feminists say? Does this murdering man also subscribe to other feminist theories? Read Greer and Jeffries? No, thought not.

Or could it be that this is just age-old male violence.

ArnoldWhatshisknickers · 30/08/2019 13:46

Tracy appears to be another victim of domestic violence. Like the vast majority of domestic violence cases the perpetrator was a man.

When will domestic violence ever be taken seriously?

LizzieSiddal · 30/08/2019 13:48

What a despicable man he is.

Peter, your deep misogyny is showing.

Pota2 · 30/08/2019 13:55

Most of the murders of transwomen in the US are of sex workers murdered by punters or like this one, murdered by an intimate partner. Being a sex worker carries something like a 35-fold risk of being murdered compared to someone who isn’t a sex-worker. Stop pretending that trans women are being murdered by groups of rampant transphobes roaming the streets, fuelled by radical feminism. They are murdered because the sorts of men who use prostitutes see them as human garbage, whatever their sex or gender-identity. Yes, that’s right, the sex industry that you constantly defend as offering empowerment. Hate to tell you but it doesn’t. It just makes you likely to come into contact with some of the vilest part of humanity. And then when they kill you, it’s not even their fault, it’s feminists’ fault.

It’s amazing how literally all of the rage and all of the blame for crimes against trans people is heaped on women. Some psycho kills his partner or some punter shoots a sex worker in the head? Gotta be Kathleen Stock’s fault.

I think feminists have got the measure of Peter Tatchel.

I'm sure there are many more comments out there.

Male violence is a terrible thing. It's shameful that so many men are too uncomfortable to confront it for what it is, but not really a surprise.

My sympathies to the family and friends of Tracy Single.

Patnotpending · 30/08/2019 13:59

I just checked out Tatchell's Twitter account for 22 August and I can't see the Tweet. I was planning to send an email link to an academic contact of mine who thinks Tatchell is generally a good thing. I'm not a Twitter user so perhaps I'm missing something. Can anyone provide a direct clicky link to this?

SadlyMissTaken · 30/08/2019 14:00

Peter is strangely silent on the murders of women committed by men and transwomen which we could equally well pin on misogynist rhetoric such as his.

Lordamighty · 30/08/2019 14:00

What a despicable man he is trying to blame male on male violence on feminists.

Patnotpending · 30/08/2019 14:02

Sorry, I've found it, I think. Though not showing up on his Twitter line.

CraftyWoman · 30/08/2019 14:03

Tatchell has always been despicable.

Both a misogynist and a pedophile apologist.

This, by Beatrix Campbell is interesting.

TurboTeddy · 30/08/2019 14:03

Fuck off Tatchell. Do all men murder because the feminists made them do it.
I'm a woman not a non trans woman so fuck off again.

ScrimshawTheSecond · 30/08/2019 14:08

Tatchell's comment is utterly absurd. How on earth did he link the views of feminists to this?

Despicable, too, for the poor victim of this crime, to have their death used in this way.
