David Tennant

[SidewaysOtter]

I’m gutted, I’m such a huge fan of his. I’ve been hugely looking forward to the second series of Good Omens.

And now this. When challenged on it, apparently he said “I’m OK, TERFs can’t climbs stairs”.

How very disappointing.

Yasmin Finney is a transwoman who was at trans pride on Saturday wearing a thong and a seethrough body stocking. Very child friendly

Still, better than all the young women showing off their scars. It's really shocking to see that all the male people look well and healthy and the only body differences seem to be hormonally induced swelling in the breasts. Whereas the female people are all either scarred or cheering about removing their breasts. And/or disabled. It's a fucking shocking state of affairs. It is profoundly misogynistic and I weep for our girls and young women.

apologies. Gone a bit off topic.

BUT THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE CHEERING DAVID.

Such a disappointment.

Exactly. The majority work it out for themselves if given good support.

My autistic sister has been permanently sterilised and put on hormones without ever having received counselling or a psych evaluation. (Her doctor is a tw)

But sure, any woman who has a problem with that must be an 'absolute freak.' Way to go David.

What a doofus

still, his job is doing pretending

him having stupid views is disappointing but c’est la vie

I'm amazed anyone ever thought he would think anything else tbh.

Accepting that actually being GC is a minority position is quite important imo, otherwise we're working in a fantasy.

Somehow I'm not surprised, I think I must have got misogynist vibes from him.

He's good at what he does - pretending to be someone he's not - so it's probably not a huge leap to pretend mammals can change sex.

I hope his child avoids being irreversibly damaged by surgery and drugs.

You don’t have to boycott them. Russel T. Davies who’s writing them is also an outspoken transactivist and I’m concerned the stories might be lost in a mire of in-your-face activism, but I shall watch and see.

If his child claims to be NB, then it’s understandable that he would want to support him or her. I’m sad at the antagonistic use of “freaks” though. That takes it into name calling territory, which is inherently abusive.

It's not a minority view. Most people think humans (like all mammals) can't change sex. However being open and honest about that opinion knowing the consequences, including threats and violence, yes it's the minority who have real integrity and speak up.

(No denigration on those who don't speak up, I'm not one of the very brave ones either)

Good point, though I will still be avoiding things with him in it now, I won't be able to hear him as my ears are full of disappointment.....he was never my favourite Doctor thankfully!

As someone else has said, his 'non binary' child is 10 years old.

Can't think why a kid with two famous actor parents, and with two siblings who are also actors and getting loads of acclaim and attention might be deciding that they are also special in some way..

Speaks very much to his circumstance, class, circle and annoying bloody Gaiman-adjacent fanbase. Odd time to nail ones colours to the mast but by all means.

But to reiterate: TERFs aren't the freaks giving healthy children hormones, castration drugs, lifelong endocrine challenges, early onset menopause, osteoporosis, or lies about reality itself.

I’ve always disliked him so I’m not surprised.

His show with Michael Sheen is one toecurlingly self-regarding.

You...think it's a minority view that people cannot change sex?

Dearie me. Mindless. Absolutely mindless.

Exactly. I'd wear that t-shirt but I'd mean actually leave them alone to be whoever they want with whatever psychological support they might need.

I like his work but he and his wife strike me as giant PITAs in real life.

I'm disappointed but not surprised.

He is a Scot who rose to fame by playing a Sci-fi character with an English accent. It will be a cold day in Hell before I give credence to anything he says IRL.

I actually thought that’s what his tshirt meant at first!

I don’t personally believe in the concept of trans kids. But I understand if you do, you’re entitled to your opinion.

But once you start calling those who disagree with you ‘absolute freaks’ (and reportedly using the sexist slur ‘TERF’) then you’ve lost my respect. Such a shame.

Leave gender-distressed kids alone you absolute freaks.

Another one for the twat list
sad

Oh no 😲

Do you really think most people believe that people can change sex and that children can be transsexual?

His Son was described as such last year but there’s recent article in hello that mentions his ‘child’s’ birthday and a message from his Sister about her ‘sibling’ , the article also uses ‘their’ when talking about the Son.

The other kids have obviously been thoroughly coached on pronoun use and trans-speak.
Lets hope it stays with the boy only having long hair, he has a very Male name.
