Trending tonight amongst the mad folk.

Is Harrop a practising doctor? Worried for whoever has him as their locum.

Amazing how it's snowballed. There was a call to arms by a vocal TRA just 4 hours ago, and at the time only he and one other person had used it.

Then they complain about mobbing...

I don't imagine there's a person left on twitter at this point that doesn't know how TRAs feel about Glinner. Yet still the world keeps turning.

Makes about as much sense. When 'bigot' means 'anyone saying no to me by pointing out things like law and other people's rights', no one's really going to take much notice.

They only ever tackle the man with the ball.

SoldiersinPetticoats · 03/05/2020 19:25

Fuck me, they really must be bored in lockdown if they are resorting to calling Glinner a bigot again. I’m sure it’s not nice for him but we’ve all got to the stage where being called a bigot doesn’t hurt us anymore. It’s just a calling card for misogynists to unite.

I really don't like Twitter. It's all about personality cults, and lends itself easily to bullying/pile ons. It makes AIBU look like a place of calm.

Aesopfable · 03/05/2020 19:48

Well if anybody who hasn’t heard of him sees this they might ask themselves why? And go and look at what he has written. Which can only be a good thing. Though perhaps not was intended.

BringbackLang · 03/05/2020 20:12

These are the same people who spout #bekind #benice etc and claim to hate bullying and yet they bully a man for standing up for women's rights. It really isn't a good look for them.

Datun · 03/05/2020 20:19

The best thing TRAs could do in the current climate is either a) draw attention to a person whose timeline is awash with refutations of every single TRA argument including Jessica Yaniv and Karen White or b) don't do that.

flomary63 · 03/05/2020 20:25

I have a lot of complicated feelings about this. Obviously I don't think Glinner is a bigot. But the way he has been speaking recently with Grace Petrie (sp?) is really quite awful. He comes across as highly condescending and hypocritical. I think he really needs to take a break from social media and I genuinely worry for his mental wellbeing. He has mentioned several times publicly that he will not rest until he has cleared his name but he spends SO much of his time on twitter and is so heavy handed with these delicate issues that he is just digging a hole further.

donquixotedelamancha · 03/05/2020 20:29

I think GC people on twitter should pick this up by clarifying the 'bigotry' he's spouted. There have been a few good tweets but they are being drowned out by the nutters.

flomary63 · 03/05/2020 20:32

What do you mean, @donquixotedelamancha ?

iklboo · 03/05/2020 20:36

Oh fucks sake not again. The pillock is already under GMC investigation for his bollocks spouting.

donquixotedelamancha · 03/05/2020 20:39

For example:

#glinnerisabigot because he thinks rapists shouldn't be allowed to self identify into women's prisons.

#glinnerisabigot because he supports women only sports.

#glinnerisabigot because he thinks children shouldn't be given off-label medication to block puberty.

nauticant · 03/05/2020 20:42

Glinner's current bigotry seems to be distaste over furries:

twitter.com/Glinner/status/1256936484034228224

I'd welcome putting the existence of furries and some of their antics in front of the general public.

flomary63 · 03/05/2020 20:43

I don't think it's right for Graham to tell lesbians that they are a betrayal to women and homosexuality. Sorry, doesn't sit well with me. It's not his place. Regardless of said lesbians' opinions (Grace Petrie).

Thelnebriati · 03/05/2020 21:09

There were two pieces of news yesterday that could be thought of as a blow to TRA's, and suddenly those are overshadowed by all kinds of shennanigans.

How utterly convenient for them.

Winesalot · 03/05/2020 22:35

There is also the hashtag that haddockisamisogynist going at the same time.

Chiochan · 03/05/2020 22:39

flomary - I dont think Gliner gives a toss if women are bisexual, he just does not agree with lesbians being pressured to have sex with men.

Dances · 03/05/2020 22:55

The more attention this gets, the more people see the batshit

nauticant · 03/05/2020 22:58

Obviously Owen Jones got involved and encouraged this kind of thing:

Qcng · 03/05/2020 23:08

Yes, it's very much "Don't mention Liz Truss rejecting self-ID, don't mention The Tavistock doing a 180°, don't mention Pink News going under....."
"Glinner is a bellend! Glinner is a bellend!" Look this way!

flomary63 · 04/05/2020 08:10

@Chicocan I wasn't referring to Jamila Jameel, I was referring to the way he spoke with Grace Petrie (lesbian singer songwriter)

Thread here: twitter.com/Glinner/status/1256231713585483785

It's really not his place. In the same way men talk to GC feminists disgustingly because they disagree with them, I think Glinner is guilty of talking badly with women who disagree with him ('handmaidens' etc).

Kit19 · 04/05/2020 08:19

I do worry at times about Glinners mental health - there are times for his own sanity that he should step away

However I’ve zero sympathy for the Petrie’s off this world who happily throw young lesbians under a bus for not accepting TWAW whilst knowing full well they’d never go near cock themselves

Helmetbymidnight · 04/05/2020 08:21

glinner is brilliant- hugely impressed at everything he does, so he snaps back occasionally, big deal.

that tweet, nauticant, has been removed i hope, its a death threat isnt it?

flomary63 · 04/05/2020 08:24

In short, I think Glinner can be sweet, but he really, really needs to take a break from this, for his own sake. He must spend, what, all day on twitter? It is not healthy. I am genuinely concerned. I hope no-one is as foolish as to assume he is acting PURELY on empatthy for women and girls. He has stated in multiple interviews and on twitter that he wants to be proven correct re: gender identity and to restore his legacy. What he is doing is utterly counter productive. I don't think he realises how poorly he comes across on social media. Even for me, who AGREES with Graham, I can't help but think "oh, God, shut up, Graham..." at a lot of what he says. I think his heart has been in the right place, even when he was involved in the "Gamer Gate" stuff, but the way he acts and puts his point across is just so clumsy and lacking in any self-reflection or humility. I know it's meaningless coming from an anon stranger on the internet, but I genuinely worry about his wellbeing. Even during a global pandemic he has only tweeted about gender critical issues. I think he needs, like JCJ, to delete his twitter account. Perhaps not permanently, but for a month, at least. For his sake. And, for the sake of the case he is making too, arguably. I feel guilty saying this, because he has lost so much in defending women. But, needs to be said. Thoughts?
