India Willoughby v Woke Bloke

[twelvecolourfulbirds]

From Good Morning Britain. Possibly on this morning (it's just appeared on my Youtube recommendations).

What’s a boomer? Wasn’t that the dog in Home and Away?

There is never the slightest point holding any poll on any trans related issues, the TRA lobby just game it. ITV must know this, everyone including all the newspapers know this, my goldfish knows this.

Bizarrely there was just a few thousand votes when I looked this morning. I'm pretty sure. Now over 400k? ??? I'd love to see the demographics of where people are voting from.

compassionate sports category just for women

Deja vu here - we did "sports categories for the cunty kind of women" before, didn't we?!

Russia and America I assume. Haven’t a clue who he is but hey, the rainbow Clarion call went out.

India “I am a real woman” willoughby has changed her tune, she’s basically said that trans women are not women and you don’t need the term cis because man (and by extension woman) is enough. My opinion on her has changed.

And Piers is spot on, I hope this interview will peak trans anyone still left on the fence.

I think they can write programs/bots to vote multiple times?

Pretty sure that was done for the Remain petition - but the govt could tell and discounted them all.

What’s a boomer? Wasn’t that the dog in Home and Away?

People born between 1946 and 1964 - 55 to 73 years old. An ageist term of abuse nowadays, I reckon.

Ah, a ‘Baby boomer’ the lazy fuckwit.

It's been pointed out on twitter that Piers is Generation X.

Though I suppose BB might use 'boomer' to refer to people with more commanding voices than him, such as Piers and India.

Did India Willoughby just say that transwomen aren't women or do my ears deceive me?

The boomer thing is very amusing. The kiddies think they've invented disrespecting different generations.

Aww bless their little hearts

She did indeed Hugs - she'll be signing up to mumsnet next

I thought so, in relation to sports. Perhaps India is on the pretty sensible page of having (meaningfully) transitioned from man to transwoman?

Especially when they think what we call them...

It's definitely botted

I'll have to look for that

Ooh, we could have a 'helping lame dogs over stiles' race. Cross country event, woman paired with lame dog with a size and weight matched to theirs.

Great idea Errol although penguins would be good as well.

She did indeed say that and fair play to her, really. There's a lot of noise going on right now and she was clear and precise in her stance which must have been difficult given the bullshit that guy is talking about her and also given the amount of flak that she and other transwomen are getting as a result of it. I mean, I'd have been way more emotional in my response if I were in her position.

Yes she did but I think in the context of how wide the trans umbrella is now. I think she meant trans women who don’t transition aren’t women.

That guy came across awfully, smug, self righteous and ill informed, but at least he put himself up to debate which is more than most will do. He can FUCK OFF at the end pretending to care about women and the patriarchy. You’re complicit in the total dicking over of women mate, don’t pretend you care.

Now you're just being silly. I've never seen a penguin on a footpath let alone being helped over a stile.

I genuinely think he's done nothing for the world but make everyone hate each other. That messenger boy of identity politics.

Russia and America I assume. Haven’t a clue who he is but hey, the rainbow Clarion call went out.

Piers is very well known in the US, he took over from Larry King on CNN and had another talk show on that network IIRC. He was also a champion of Donald Trump in the early days of Trump's presidency, which earned PM some notoriety.

I fear Benjamin B would have us all sent to Gulag for re-education.

I think he was the one I saw on the Politics Show a while back - it was certainly a guy from Pink News - and a woman raised the Karen White cases. He actually shrugged and looked away. That's how much cares.

Yes but the folks who spend every minute on twitter probably don’t see much tv (let alone real life).

*That's how much he cares.
