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.

Message to Jeremy Vine et al, because you need to know this.

Here is an interview by Meghan Murphy talking to a female who was incarcerated in a Canadian prison in the women's estate.

my colleague says, "Stephen Fry is a stupid person's idea of a clever person".

I've heard this many times before and it's so true.

I cba watching the video as i know it will make me cringe. Attention seeking bunch of twats. Frankie Boyle is deeply unpleasant yet thinks he's a national treasure in Scotland. Well he's not.

HarrietThePi · 31/03/2020 14:31

I only watched the first few minutes but that had a touch of "brass eye" about it.

Al1Langdownthecleghole · 31/03/2020 14:37

Most of the talking heads named here are the usual suspects. I'm not too surprised at Jeremy Vine either, the bits of his programme I've caught whenever he has discussed the topic haven't convinced me that he has a firm grasp of the situation...

What is disappointing is that JV has daughters. But then his Daughter's aren't quite as likely to have to share facilities as common people are they?

FleecyMoo · 31/03/2020 14:56

Urgh! No way can I watch that bunch of narcissistic arseholes bleating on about whatever idiotic lies they are telling themselves and trying to force onto others.

I actually despise Stephen Fry, after many years of thinking that he was rather entertaining. Obviously he's always been a massive narcissist and his overt misogyny sickens me. I wish I'd never bought any of his books. I certainly never will again.

Frankie Boyle- on -the- Bum has always been repulsive and the rest are not worth my attention either. Seeking attention like this in a time of crisis when other decent people, ordinary people without planet sized egos, are helping others as best they can is an execrable trait and those in the video doubtless have it in abundance.

LadyQuarantinaPluckington · 31/03/2020 14:59

Fry just has a large vocab and a plummy accent. His best joke was about skipping across a field and stopping to pick a buttock up, and wondering why there was a buttock laying in a field.

Ronnie Barker was ten times wittier, and a darned sight less pretentious.

Oh, and DGAF about celebrity preening, and I'm not wasting 48 minutes of my life on it.

Who's Dawn Butler?

Egos the size of small countries, who haven’t learnt to ‘Read The Room’.

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to put out something film length? They needed a good editor, or preferably a couple of good mates, to tell them ‘No, just no, not at all, NO!’

FleecyMoo · 31/03/2020 15:04

Now he just talks through his buttocks!

Justhadathought · 31/03/2020 15:05

Dawn Butler is a celebrity now?

Honestly, how embarrassing that these people have no idea of the actual issues, but feel totally at liberty to spout off and virtue signal their woke credentials.The David Bowie analogies reveal the total lack of understanding of; or even exposure to GC views and arguments.

Someone has some atoning to do

Dawn Butler is a politician who believes that babies are born without a sex.

Not the brightest star in the sky is our Dawnie.

FlamingoAndJohn · 31/03/2020 15:19

Is now really the time to be doing this?

The link for Jeremy Vine et al is here, this one should work. Blush

Jeremy, will you please watch this.

Lordfrontpaw · 31/03/2020 15:21

‘Are certainly women now’ - did he just ‘dead sex’ them?

HarrietTheShy · 31/03/2020 15:40

What a handy list of idiots to avoid.

48 minutes Confused

There is so much else not to do at the moment and this is probably at the top of the list.

Did they fail to sell it to television companies then? Too much else in the news?

Fry is a massive misogynist. Some years ago on a chat show he was asked about his gayness and he made the following "joke". "After I was born I thought no way i'm going up there again".

What an arsehole - now that's something I could joke about in relation to Fry but I would probably be deleted.

Datun · 31/03/2020 17:21

The fact that Fry aligned himself with Peter Tatchell and his demands for sex lessons for five year olds, is enough to destroy his credibility forever, as far as I'm concerned.

LadyMuckish · 31/03/2020 17:30

@biologyisreal - good point, that means he wouldn't go there with a trans man who still has a vag then? That makes him a transphope does it not? Or does that only apply to lesbians who refuse the 'female penis'?

WrathofFaeKIopp · 31/03/2020 17:32

Datun
Tatchell and Fry swimming in the same lane as usual.
All these 'celebs' could be swimming in this lane.

What do you think Jeremy Vine?
