It’s interesting too that he says the women in his life are fine with it, it’s so easy for men to have no understanding of why women might say or think (or not be able to say) something.

And he might want to recheck what 'it' they're fine with.
Calling a transwoman she and complimenting appearance?
Using the same loo? What about someone she doesn't know who is an obvious intact male?
How about hospital ward...
Or the transgirl joining her daughter's sports team?
Down to rapists in women's jails.

Which of those are the women he knows 'fine' with?

💯

There needs to be 2 distinct categories for all womens sport, prisons, toilets, refuges, etcetcetc.

1. For Women with a penis
2. For Women without a penis.

Simples.

Or if they discover the brand new underwear they just bought at M and S has dried seaman! (sorry my tablet keeps deleting the other version of the word) in the crotch of the pants?

I bet Reece never imagined he'd get his own mumsnet thread.

And for all the wrong reasons.

Bad Reece. Bad boy!

Or I am not a TERF and but I know what a woman is.

Wasn't he in Emmerdale? Where there's a trans character played by an actual trans person? Or does a trans man not count?

What a twat.

Said in the voice of Harry Enfield as Margaret Thatcher.

Not trying to be antagonistic here RD but you know nowt and you matter less.

No offence 👼

It is all how you word it.

Now be gone with your wide eyed ingenue pish. Not buying what you are trying to peddle.

Fitting!😁

Wish I never read the twat’s tweet now. I was trying to relax with a glass of wine, now I’m fuming 😡

Reece, your disingenuous little tweet fools no-one. You’re a misogynist and clearly see women as subhuman. You’re not the slightest bit progressive. You’re a posturing, has-been twat. No offence and all that, right?

Stupid man.

I mean, even if it was ‘one in a million’, that’s one too many, right?

I didn't know he had anything to do with Emmerdale or Corrie - I lost track of both of those soaps a few years ago, I only remembered him from Home To Roost, i think it was called, with the late, great John Thaw. To my knowledge, he built his twitter following on the strength of commenting on John Thaw to begin with.
I wonder if his female family members realise that he's prepared to sacrifice their safety and dignity for clout?

What a fucking prick. As if he’d just thought of something that would make women just shut up. Dreadful

I don't know who he is but he's making no attempt at all to think how many women feel about this- he's just repeating the 'script' .

Or showing up for your mammogram or smear test and getting a man who says they're a woman doing it.

Ask your female relatives about that one, Reece.

I do know who he is, but it's probably fair to say that his career foundered somewhat. Back in the 1980s as a young actor, he had a fair-sized part in a series Partners In Crime (Agatha Christie adaptations) starring Francesca Annis. Then he was in Threads, a particularly terrifying dramatisation of what would happen if there were a nuclear war (which was looking quite possible at the time) which I still remember. And then a sitcom where John Thaw played his dad. All within just a couple of years. For the twenty-something he was then, the future must have looked very bright.

Since then it's mostly been an episode here, an episode there; two years in Coronation Street in his late forties and two years in Emmerdale in his early sixties. He could have been doing a load of theatre, of course - but even in the 'big' theatres it's not exactly lucrative work.

I think MrsDanversGlidesAgain may have it exactly right -

"www.leeds-live.co.uk/news/celebs-tv/itv-emmerdales-reece-dinsdale-says-25584535

He's broke, apparently. (Had to look him up as haven't a clue who he is and still no wiser). What's the best way of getting work as an actor these days? why, show what a trans ally you are."

So yes, I think the whole purpose of his faux-naive tweet was to draw attention to himself and get some work to replace his Emmerdale gig. He's in his sixties and the phone just ain't ringing these days.

I think the problem with his career was that he was never actually a very good actor.

As is apparent from the completely transparent faux-naïveté of his tweets.

I like the way he says all the women in his life are fine with it. As though he has asked them all.

I am a woman who is not fine with it, and if someone I knew started saying 'hey, why can't we just live and let live,' I would be nervous of speaking up.

My sister is like this. Ended up in a rather fraught argument where she actually started tearing up in anger so we are no longer allowed to talk about it.

A man who had been one of my best friends for 25 years has utterly disowned me, told me to never contact him again.

I was reported anonymously to my work for anti trans tweets.

So Rheece, if any woman you know dared tell you she wasn't fine with it, how would you react?

And once the cuteness of him in his twenties had faded it seems there wasn't much else to him!

He was very unlucky in his timing. Of all the weeks to pipe up about how you can't see why this is a problem.
