its a worthwhile introduction/ explanation of what’s going on that I’ve found. Please watch it - and post your responses. It may also be very worthwhile checking what’s going on in your child’s school - if they’re not in hols!
thank you!

Honestly I’d rather get information from the back of a cereal box than this bigot. Hard pass.

Why is it that anyone that disagrees with you and the many others on here are typecast as bigots and dismissed. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and to be heard. People are entitled to offend and to be offended. We live in a free country and will not be silenced.

Thank you for sharing this....never a truer word was spoken. Hail Megan!

Was going to write a lot but realised that @marewindham said it all very clearly

her views are so extreme on so many things that can't be brushed over because of this one topic

Lacucuracha · 04/07/2023 02:49

As always, it can be summed up with a Simpsons quote 😂

“I don't agree with his Bart-killing policy, but I do approve of his Selma-killing policy.”

I remember when Piers Morgan was the only mainstream TV critic of Johnson’s handling of the pandemic, and I had to unblock him on Twitter and agree with much of what he said. It was horrible, and I was glad when he reverted to type and I could block him again. But I didn’t disagree with what he said on Covid, just because it was him saying it. It’s the stopped watch thing, sometimes it tells the right time, but you wouldn’t want to rely on it to catch the right train.

Same with Megyn Kelly, although I knew much less about her before I saw this monologue a week or two ago - I think she makes a persuasive case here about pronouns, although it sounds as though most of her other opinions would clash with mine.

Can we keep this bullshit to the Gender Critical board please?

Megyn Kelley is anything but gender critical. She also isn't a feminist. No reason to discuss her on the feminism boards.

Megyn Kelly who said blacking up is ok and Jesus was a white man? Stuff like that?

Excuse me for not wanting to spend time being bored to death by her. Possibly I do share occasional thoughts with her but that doesn't mean I have to listen to her banging on.

I think it was Santa, not Jesus.

I also thought she spoke eloquently on this issue. I note all the early comments basically saying 'DON'T LISTEN! DON'T LISTEN!'. I think we're past that now. There are women (and men) on the left and right wing, as well as the middle ground and floating voters who are concerned about this. There are gay people, straight people and trans people. We're all concerned and this may be all we have in common. I certainly won't exclude anyone from this fight because I disagree with their politics.

Couldn't agree more.

Lol, come on back when you know how analogies work.

You do realise YOU also agree with Hitler, and Trump, and a load of other insidious people that the sky is blue, and the earth is not (sorry - left out that critical word) flat?

Agreeing with someone on one point, doesn’t mean you have to align with them on everything. Come on - this is basic stuff.

In any case, this has been an introduction to this women to me - and although I agree with what she says, post the Pride comment, she doesn’t sound like someone I would otherwise have any time for.

I am a left-leaning, liberal, socially progressive feminist, who has fundamental issues with, and concerns about, the profound misogyny and homophobia in trans activism.

Bananasinpyjamas21 · 04/07/2023 03:23

I am no longer comfortable using ‘preferred pronouns’, but I did start off thinking it was the ‘kind’ and respectful thing to do.

I am pro gay rights and pro people being able to dress or act in feminine/masculine ways without discrimination.

I draw the line at many trans ideologies such as ‘education’ in schools, sports and not being able to say ‘I’m a woman’ if you are a woman, (person with ‘bit’) but you can if a man, apparently. Nope don’t agree.

I do not identify with most right wing politics.

I would not watch the video, as even though I’d never heard of her until now, if what posters are saying is true then I wouldn’t be comfortable giving her my time.

Both, in fact. Bit of a theme.

Amala Ekpunobi would be worth watching on YouTube.
She’s really smart. She’s really balanced. She’s really likeable.

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 04/07/2023 07:05

I don't know who this woman is (by the sounds of some posters whom I often find myself agreeing with, I probably won't like her) and I've not yet watched the video -

This aside don't forget even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Often people we would never in a million years think we have commonality with will have an occasional opinion we share. It's bound to happen from time to time.

Blanket statements implying that by doing so it means we are therefore a bigot/wrong side of history is bit OTT Confused

I haven’t watched the video but the idea that the way someone spells their name tells you all you need to know about them is the kind of unpleasant petty snobbery that is driving people away from the left and leaving a gap wide open for the right to occupy.

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz · 04/07/2023 07:13

So by many posters opinions here, agreeing with > insert controversial person < on one view means you have aligned yourself with their every view?

I got as far as her first sentence in which she said she was being "subjected to" pride celebrations and said that "gays and lesbians" already have equality.

She's clearly a bigot.

I'm a bisexual woman. As far as relationships go I've had about 75% lesbian relationships to 25% straight.

I am absolutely dick to fucking death of pride, the rainbow, pride month, preferred pronouns, big company logos changes for pride month, drag queens etc

Absolutely sick of it. It makes me almost want to go back into the closet so I'm not associated with all this shit.

Idrankyourbananamilk · 04/07/2023 07:16

@marewindham excellent post. Couldn’t agree more.

OprahWinfery · 04/07/2023 07:17

I’ve never used pronouns. I live in fact based reality and would never gaslight my own senses to accommodate a lie.

Never played let’s pretend games very well either.

I too can't bear the commercialisation of pride and am GC doesn't mean I want to agree with a right wing, homophobic, racist fascist. The woman is abhorrent.

I'd never heard of this woman before today, but if I'm worried about fascist tendencies it'll be from people who think it's acceptable to describe other human beings off as 'vermin' because they disagree with them.

The tolerant left, everyone!

It's a pure 'hey look squirrel' tactic isn't it?

Megyn Kelly may well have some abhorrent views, as I'm sure many people do, but that doesn't mean that some of what she says isn't correct.

I don't think there's many people who would believe in any kind of TRA rubbish if they truly drilled down into the base level because nothing about it stands up to any intelligent scrutiny. The TRAs rely on distraction to jerk the fallacy going.
