"I identify as Daniel Radcliffe" twitter thread

[notyourhandmaid]

"I identify as Daniel Radcliffe. I always was Daniel Radcliffe, even though I was born two decades before him. Did you know that humans share 99.9% of their DNA so biologically I virtually am Daniel Radcliffe! But spiritually I am truly Daniel Radcliffe, even more so than he is."

This thread is worth a read, for the laugh (gallows humour really).

"I wen through a period of being Daniel Radcliffefluid, when I was some days in the week but not the rest. Then I was enby Daniel Radcliffe, in which I neither was nor wasn't DR all the time. I even was a Daniel Radcliffe masker for a while! But the truth is I AM Daniel Radcliffe!"

"Thank you for bravely sharing your experiences as an ANDRAB person ('assigned not daniel radcliffe at birth')"

FOJN I'm crying laughing at that - Danielle Radcliffe - I had to go and have a look at their twitter to see if it was some kind of spoof account... they've amended it now, but what fabulous a typo

Not before I realised that’s how I identify!

It would be interesting to see if someone name changing on Twitter as the real Daniel Radcliffe, then issuing an apology to JKR gets shut down super quick. Especially considering it’s now been weeks and 400 reports and the Julie Bindel imitation account still hasn’t been shut down.

I'm on that thread! I'm the Daniel that menstruates.

It is remarkable the difference between that thread and the response to JK Rowling. Everyone poking fun at a "woke bro" but no one threatening violence or rape for his beliefs.

Interestingly, I'm on twitter with a name that is male/female ambiguous, (but sounds more male I think (e.g. Sam, George etc) and a generic pic but I've indirectly been referred to as "this chap" / "good work, sir" etc. Although I have been posting a lot of stuff in support of JKR for the last 2 days, I haven't had a lot of abuse - it's really obviously targetted at women!

I needed a laugh, thanks twitter.

I really support all the Daniel Radcliffes on this thread and I will defend your right to live in a way that is authentic to you. I read a Mirror article that discussed Daniel Radcliffe's beard, and I feel this is exclusionary to all the Daniel Radcliffes that don't have beards. Many of them can't grow beards and that's not their fault. Can I insist they change it to People Who Have The Same Face as Daniel Radcliffe's beard?

Ive just had to download the ZOE track n trace app, work are making us all use it

It asked my gender. Im Daniel Radcliffe gender. And proud

Love to see what the NHS extrapolate from that data.

That's a good idea. Next time a form asks my gender, I shall confidently tick other. And then fill in Daniel

TERDs and Little Menstruators. I'm howling

I'm on that thread! I'm the Daniel that menstruates

Me too - I've just been out to buy some danitary towels.

Not being able to act didnt impede cis Daniel either

I actually identify as an excellent actor so please don't invalidate my identity.

I love this. Thanks for posting OP.

@Howzaboutye

I wonder if he has the capacity to read the twitter thread and take it on board? Is he man enough to admit he was wrong?

Well all the pandaniels can apologise on his behalf. I see no problem with that.

Loving the imagined newspaper reports about the cis male (probably) actor Dan Radcliffe. I emailed ZOE about the symptom tracker about discriminating against males by asking for gender identity and assigned at birth. Clearly the poor loved seemed to be at higher risk and it was important to collect clear data. So when they release their figures that only state two sexes they must be ignoring the identity question

I'm apologising on his behalf right now. My username makes me clearly of the Potter world so I have more right to apologise for him than he does for his own words.
I expect to be lauded for my bravery.

Danielself was good in 'The menstruator in black' though

I am indeed reading along and I am man enough to admit I was wrong.

Dear Joanne,

I'd like to apologize for any distress my comments caused you and you always have my complete support and admiration.

Sincerely,

Daniel Radcliffe

Cis Daniel R made me chuckle.

If I identify as Radcliffe will that mean he has to share his HP residuals with me? I mean, he wants me to share the spaces where I get changed so it seems fair that he be asked to share something too.

(Considers signing up for Twitter as Daniel The Mentruator)

If I identify as Radcliffe will that mean he has to share his HP residuals with me?

Cis Daniel Radcliffe has recently identified as someone who's broke so unfortunately there's no HP residuals to share around. Sorry about that.

Traniels
Radcliffe is a spectrum
cis-Daniel Radcliffe
Loving it

Is he man enough to admit he was wrong?

Of course I'm not.
