Graham Norton has terminated his Twitter account after attacking JK Rowling

[SwanageBay]

Well that's one less beardy man on there defending rape and death threats.

With respect, I’ve seen many posts like the one you posted and they are extremely easily faked. Not saying this one is. But it’s in stark contrast to say, the threats noted on this site, which are direct screenshots with no redacted info.

People are skeptical when the ‘documented evidence’ isn’t really documented evidence, and when there has been a history of arse-covering for their own behaviour.

GC feminists are not without flaw. But if I were to pick out the worst comments and tweets from one of them to a trans person, especially one that was just having a conflicting opinion not someone being deliberately inflammatory, I think I’d be hard pressed to find a death or rape threat.

Yes. I totally agree.

I’m by no means an expert on this subject, and not as knowledgeable on the nuances as I think I should be but what you’ve written sun up how I feel about the situation given what I do know.

if he feels a bit hounded off Twitter it seems a fairly useful object lesson in the cancel culture he says doesn’t exist- do you think he feels a bit hounded, cancelled or fairly held accountable which is what he says happens? I suspect when it comes to himself it’s more a and b than c, c is for other people who should be more responsible about what they say.

Hear hear.

She's a fucking queen.

I'm not sure if you know how Tiktok works, but it's not the same as Twitter. Once you refresh your "For You" page, what you've watched has gone. If you're not in the habit of "liking" loads of videos, as I'm not, then no there aren't "receipts" unless you remember the names of all the posters.

If you're willing, then the trans people who don't have extremist views can be found on there, but you need to do some work to get there.

Abso - fucking- lutely.

If he could be bothered to understand a 'mere' woman's point of view on the impact of trans rights on women as a sex class and on gay children then maybe he wouldn't have landed himself in this spot of bother.

What was interesting in the interview with Mariella Frostrup was the account of him growing up in Ireland as a gay child loving dresses. Doesn't he see he would have been prey for TRAs?

I don't have any sympathy for him at all.

And despite this being pointed out ad nauseum to certain poster they are still, in Graham Norton's words, wanging on about JKR attacking GN, wilful blindness, deafness or something else?

That'll be why no one has heard of them, and they're having zero impact then. 🙄

Yep. Joanne Rowling has raised her head above the parapet. I remember when she first did this and women across the globe breathed a sigh of relief. Because someone who could, did.

She took the abuse and she persisted. And which other woman could do this while appealing to the mainstream?

Graham Norton has flounced either temporarily or permanently. Joanne Rowling has not.

yes. The tweets have been posted, the transcript of the times radio interview has been posted.

I do find it rather clear the hypocrisy at play here. Posters seem to be declaring on one hand that no… Graham Norton wasn’t making points that referred to Joanne Rowling, despite the questions both times referring specifically to her. Yet, her tweets which reasonably can be read to refer to Billy Bragg and his comments (which he owns up to making), are being extrapolated to refer to Graham Norton. Despite her only explicitly referring to his quote about ‘accountability’ and not anything else. (And nothing else has been posted despite requests).

It really seems bizarre. Like there is some kind of disconnect happening here but some people cannot see it.

Disconnect, a lack of comprehension, wilful blindness and deafness or an agenda or indeed all of those.

JK is more Hermione than Emma Watson could ever hope to be.

I've never searched for trans-related videos on TikTok but they occasionally come up. The most common one I've seen is young transwomen, at varying levels of "passing", videoing themselves entering women's toilets and all around the inside, presumably to prove they went in.

Have you ever known a woman to do this? It doesn't feel as if they "just want to wee".

3 people committed suicide after doxxing and organised harassment from anti-trans forum kiwifarms. A transwoman was swatted by users on kiwifarms.

Stop repeating these lies.

Graham opened his mouth and said he wasn’t involved - and people reminded him of his past actions - donating money to a double mastectomy (with Fry) and doing some pretty hideous ‘banter’ on Jade Goody.

He couldn’t defend so he flounced off to try to protect his writing career and gigs on things like drag show.

Agree with you

Agree with you

Did you read the thread? This has all been discussed in detail.

I was going through comments but I agree I stand with graham as he didn’t say anything wrong at all and I said at the time he should sue jk rowling

Keep reading love 🙄

I said at the time he should sue jk rowling

For what?!?

I said at the time he should sue jk rowling

For what specifically?

For what for basically saying he stands by women having death threats and rape threats which he didn’t ever say that and she knows it she’s very wrong with what she said

For what for basically saying he stands by women having death threats and rape threats

How would a tweet that doesn't name him stand up legally do you think?!?

Implications I bet if it was the other way round that didn’t actually name jk rowling and I dunno graham happened to say some people are unhinged and nasty with their trans hate jk rowling would be all over that she loves to sue people and pile on folks

funny how those that shout about cancel culture the loudest seem to have a big voice always tweeting about the same stuff yet gets someone like graham Norton a gay man off Twitter even when glinner called him a homophobe. Fancy calling graham Norton a homophobe
