Peter Tatchell gets it handed to him

Did anyone see his GB News slot and then tweet where he explains that there are ‘two different kinds of woman’?

Apparently there is a woman as defined by biology and there is a woman as defined by gender identity. Both are equally valid.

Nearly every comment and quote tweet is a variation of no, had enough of this now, total nonsense, why is anyone listening to this guy?

I think we’re moving away from all of this.

It's all in the replies, plenty to enjoy:

But its GB News, hardly a sensible or credible source. They let FARAGE talk, ffs!

So if Putin says he's going to nuke us all while being interviewed by GB news we don't have to believe him?

What a ridiculous defence to make.

The show on GB News with Andrew Doyle has covered the issues on this board a lot. It's other news outlets doing their best ostrich impressions that helped get us where we are.

What’s your point?
also, should we shut down anyone who’s views we don’t agree with - like Farage?

Norma27 · 14/05/2022 08:24

What is good about GB News is they let people with different viewpoints talk. So they have Benjamin butterworth, Peter Tatchell, posie Parker, farage and many more. I like that I can hear different viewpoints and form my own opinion.

The fact he talked his shite on GB News doesn’t make what he said any less nonsensical, does it?

Well, that’s the thing, isn’t it? People have moved - and continue to move- towards greater acceptance and understanding of trans people, but the vast majority of the general public don’t and never will believe a man can be a man and a man can be a woman in any real sense.

Deliriumoftheendless · 14/05/2022 08:26

Man can be a woman that should be.

There are two kinds of horse. One you ride at Ascot, and one you dry clothes on. Both are equally valid, but you're going to look bloody silly mounting a clothes horse.

NecessaryScene · 14/05/2022 08:27

This is another new line I haven't seen.

I'm used to "you shouldn't listen to feminists' reasonable arguments, because they appear on a Bad platform"

But "you shouldn't listen to the shite TRAs say, because they appear on a Bad platform" is novel.

Booooriing. Same old rubbish, like with the Daily Mail.

So the problem is “the source” not what he said? When people appear on GB News do their own words go through some form of scrambling translator that turns them from normal things into misogynistic nonsense? Or are the words they speak the same as everyone hears?

Tatchell does have a history of denying his own words said what they said, like in the previous thread where he turned up to defend himself and the thread was subsequently deleted.

PrelateChuckles · 14/05/2022 08:35

So he's saying it is actually valid to say that a trans man is a woman?

I can describe what biology a woman has, but how does one describe the gender identity a woman has? What is it?

RachelshouldvegonetoParis · 14/05/2022 08:38

Yes I’ve greatly enjoyed that thread.

GB News cover a lot of the important topics honestly which can't be said for the MSM.

Also they regularly support and promote feminists and women's rights for which I am grateful.

Peter also thinks there are two kinds of children - those that get raped by adults and those that enjoy the experience and find it valuable for their development.

Twat.

Mr Tatchell has told us all, he cannot condone the rape of children - have you not been listening? 🙄

But it's OK if they 'consent', right?

I have seen the odd decent person on GB News but 95% is rubbish.

It is not even a news station. They just watch news on another channel and then talk about it - a bit like gogglebox but with a panel of mainly right wing bigots and morons who claim they have been canceled even though they are on TV all the time plus of course a token woke pundit handpicked to make liberals look like idiots. I think they would love OJ but even he is too smart for trap so they get the mind bogglingly stupid Benjamin Butterworth instead who sits there with a daft grin on his face while they call him the wokest man in Britain

I assume Peter has filled this role too.

Even though I despise this nonsense if he has gone on there and put things down on record then it is fair enough to quote him on it and ask why he spouts just drivel.

How very dare you ever suggest he said the things he said?

Mostly here now for the deletion message. We know facts in the public domain about words spoken can't be reproduced in some cases.

SpindleInTheWind · 14/05/2022 09:34

There’s so much material now by Tatchell himself that’s in the public domain, it’s glaringly obvious where his interests lie.

I liked Iseult’s response - nails it with commendable brevity:
