Rich celebrities produce lockdown video denouncing 'transphobia'

They include Kathleen Ryan, Stephen Fry, Frankie Boyle, Jameela Jamil, Dawn Butler, Matt Lucas, Jeremy Vine and Susie Green.

None of them explain what transphobia actually is, or what a trans person is or what a woman is, but some of the comments include Ryan saying 'there are weirdos out there who care about what bathroom you use' (presumably Ryan believes the mother of the girl Katie Dolatowski sexually assaulted in a supermarket girls' toilet is a 'weirdo') and Stephen Fry, who spent about a decade mocking creationists on QI, saying that trans people just want to be their authentic selves, without offering any scientific support to what he was saying.

And they've made this video as we're now entering more than 200 deaths per day in the UK due to coronavirus.

I don’t know if I can cope with watching that..
re Jeremy Vine, I have found that a few very conventional men I know think of trans issues as accepting men who look feminine as actual women, because the idea of men looking a bit feminine secretly freaks them out.

Do these groups ever ever ever speak up for anyone else? The domestic murder rate will definitely rise because of lockdown - but do they give a shit? Will they make a nice little video about this? Actual murder rather than someone having their feelings hurt or getting into an argument with their mum and dad?

WrathofFaeKIopp · 31/03/2020 10:54

I for one am hugely relieved that these slebs have fully embraced the adage "give 'em enough rope..."

Oh yes.

SirVixofVixHall · 31/03/2020 10:55

I had to stop as soon as Susie Green popped up.

Lordfrontpaw · 31/03/2020 10:56

I wonder what the 'rarara' parents would actually do if their child detransitioned?

BringbackLang · 31/03/2020 10:59

My bad Mrs Doyle. How dare I forget. Off to the gulag for me Grin

SirVixofVixHall · 31/03/2020 11:01

Ryan has a daughter, is she really ok with having her daughter change for swimming along side an adult male ?
I am also baffled by any gay man getting behind this.

nevermorelenore · 31/03/2020 11:01

I thought Matt Lucas had long been cancelled thanks to Little Britain's jokes about being a ladyeee and the Thai lady boy stuff. I mean it also had people in blackface, sexism and sneering at the working class, but nobody seems to give a shit about that stuff anymore.

WrathofFaeKIopp · 31/03/2020 11:05

I can't bear to watch the non-medically trained Susie Green.

Not sure about that, I think they are secretly attracted to feminine men.
Jeremy Vine clearly demonstrates this.

Gibbonsgibbonsgibbons · 31/03/2020 11:07

I wont watch that but the ‘comedians” make me so so cross - jesters have the freedom to speak truth to power

MrsDoylesTeaBags · 31/03/2020 11:08

I should think so BringBackLang a nice bit of 'education' and you can make your own video about the poor lambs Grin

Oliversmumsarmy · 31/03/2020 11:09

Not watched the video

A. It is 48 minutes long

B. The fake tinkly voice got on my nerves after 1 word.

C. You sort of know what it is about. A bit of moaning how particular people they know find it hard and nothing about how the majority feel or how it all impacts on their lives.

A bit like why can’t my friend do this or that. It’s not fair

Are that list of people “celebrities” at least a couple I have never heard of.

koshkatt · 31/03/2020 11:13

And in the real world people are dying in their thousands in a global pandemic.

I have no words for the degree of contempt I feel for these utter arseholes.

littlbrowndog · 31/03/2020 11:15

48 minutes long ffs. That’s a movie.

Bout time they did a 48 minutes long video on women and girls being murdered by the very people who are meant to love them

That’s the women and girls who are getting murdered at the rate of nearly 3 a week
Will they fuck ever do that Nope nope nope

No points for doing that

Tossers the lot of them.

WrathofFaeKIopp · 31/03/2020 11:21

Just watched Susie Green at 36 mins.
Her child was assigned male at birth.

Mermaids charity is still available at the moment via email and a helpline if children want a chat with them.

When Paris Lees was on the BBC Jeremy Vine radio programme, Vine was embarrassing in his drooling, sycophancy...he was practically pawing all over Lees. I got the distinct impression Vine has a secret lust for these men.

Wasn't Katherine Ryan at FILIA?

terryleather · 31/03/2020 11:28

This is a quote from Trevor Phillips talking in March about Suzanne Moore's colleagues who signed that letter against her, but it could equally apply here or any number of countless smug sleb virtue signalling instances.

"Their campaign is all about themselves".

He calls it "liberal narcissism".

Fry has always been a massive misogynist so no surprise there.

Ryan is completely self absorbed. Her 'comedy's is very mean girl. Like she thinks other women are stupid.

KaronAVyrus · 31/03/2020 11:31

I thought Jeremy definitely had a thing for Lees.

AnyFucker · 31/03/2020 11:39

Jeremy Vine's internet browsing might be illuminating

I0NA · 31/03/2020 11:40

Luxury opinions innit?

Rich privileged people who don’t have to worry about women sharing a prison, homeless shelter or refuge with a male sex offender.

Or African American female athletes in the US losing a sports scholarship to college to a Man who feels female.

Or worrying about their daughters being flashed at, sexually assaulted or filmed in Morrisons toilets.

Whatisthisfuckery · 31/03/2020 11:40

Lol, the country is locked down; people are losing their jobs and wondering where the money for next week’s food is coming from, let alone to pay for the roof over their heads’;; NHS and other front line workers are living with the very real fear that the work they are doing to keep others alive will result in them and their loved ones being infected with the potentially deadly illness from which the rest of us are fleeing; hospitals are overflowing with the dying; makeshift hospitals are being created to accommodate the people existing hospitals cannot cope with; companies are hastily designing and making ventilators so the health service can even hope to save all the lives they can; cancer screening is canceled, so if you have early stage cancer it might be too late by the timeYou are even diagnosed; temporary mortuaries are being hastily constructed to accommodate the rising thousands of dead; millions of people are being forced to isolate themselves from human contact for months on end lest they be infected with an illness that will likely kill them; women and children, and yes, some men, are trapped in their houses with people who will do them harm; women and children are being murdered in their homes...

But transphobia. transphobia transphobia transphobia. the most heinous affront to humanity. Even the illness that is killing thousands around the world is transphobic.

Hang your heads’ in shame Mumsnet, how can you sleep while the most oppressed ever are suffering so?

Oncewasblueandyellowtwo · 31/03/2020 11:41

I know Wrath!
He is so so near the point, that a man can dress like a woman, wear makeup, that doesn't make them trans.I was just confused about why he was talking about Bowie in a video for trans day of visibility

feelingverylazytoday · 31/03/2020 11:42

Are they saying Bowie was trans?
A few people did try and 'trans' him after his death. A few weeks ago I read someone saying 'he identified as non binary'
No he really didn't. He sometimes wore make up and feminine type clothing as part of his professional persona.You would think other celebrities would be able to understand this.
