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.

Absolutely. Leave trans kids alone.

I'm absolutely heartbroken. So so disappointed

Does it really say ‘you absolute freaks’ because that is a really offensive word, used against people with disabilities historically.

i watched a programme about trans kids, got all the support from mum and dad, went and got the change thing and they were still bloody depressed, more so than bloody before. If my child comes to me about wanting to be a boy, I will just say no, you can do what you like when you’re 18.

He is a Scot who rose to fame by playing a Sci-fi character with an English accent.
It's called acting.
He had already been in Takin' over the asylum, Blackpool and Casanova before getting the role.
Loved him in There she goes and am looking forward to Good Omens 2.
If he wants to support his kid publicly, that's his choice.

People who disagree with you on this issue are not handmaidens. We are not doing it for the approval of men.

Actually someone going along with it because they are desperate for the approval of men would be a better excuse than just liking the idea of curing gay and/or confused kids with drugs and surgery.

When this is over people will be rushing to say "well I never did agree with it of course"

Goodness. There are some … disturbing people on that Vogue link.

Did the second part of my post not suit your narrative. He is an actor. His stock in trade is unreality. Why would anything that he says IRL be relevant?

Youre not the only one i watch everything hes on

really disappointed-how would a tenyear old know that theyre not ether sex

Yep, right there on the t-shirt.

Try again.

Yep, right there on the t-shirt.

I like David Tennant. I enjoy watching him act. I don’t care about his opinions.

I don’t know why anyone gives much credence to the opinions of celebrities. Unless they illustrate that they have expertise on a particular topic, they are no more qualified to speak than any other person. Some do the research and groundwork and then leverage their celebrity to make a real difference on tough issues. Most just seem to pay the same kind of lip service to causes that the rest of us do, with retweet’s and slogans.

I was a huge David Tennant fan and am disappointed to hear his views - of course he is entitled to his opinions. I strongly disagree with his standpoint.

He's not saying that, though, is he? He just wants children like his own to be left alone and not persecuted, which hardly seems unreasonable.

Sorry, my message makes no sense without the message it was replying to. Here is how it was meant to be:

It never fails to boggle me that people can think drugs which sterilise children and removing of healthy body parts is a GOOD idea and the people against it are the baddies. Especially now with the mountains of evidence against the Tavistock. I mean, it’s just completely bizarre logic defying cultist behaviour.

He's not saying that, though, is he? He just wants children like his own to be left alone and not persecuted, which hardly seems unreasonable.

I think he's siding with his child. As you would expect.

I'd have been quite surprised tbh if he wasn't unremittingly woke.

I enjoy him as an actor but I've never seen any evidence he thinks outside the bubble of the entertainment industry norm.

I'm the same. He's been in great stuff, Good Omens being the latest I've enjoyed watching. Anything outside that isn't worth fixating on (bar anything illegal).

👏👏👏

Nailed it. He's not doing it against his own views to support his kid, he's doing it cos he's got a superficial understanding of the problem and his social set are full on TWAW. Media friendly feminism where girls can be anything they want as long as they are also attractive and supportive.

Yeah, it's a really brave public statement to make when the only backing you have is the national broadcaster and the largest commercial channels, three of the four main political parties, several of the largest newspapers, most of the main social media sites, the police, the civil service, the NHS...

Brave, brave David!

Nice. Use the word the thugs who kicked Sophie Lancaster to death were chanting to put your acceptance message across? Total muppet.

David needs to look at the Vogue photoshoot to see where this is going for their 10 year old if he/she is left alone with the ideologists.

I just saw that he non-binary child is bearly nine or just gone ten, the same age as my granddaughter who fortunately is still ignorant of all this rubbish.

Telling people who are campaigning for kids to be left alone to leave kids alone. That makes sense 🙄

Yes! So good to see this response.
Doesn't he have a child who is non binary? That would explain his stance if so.
I'm a massive Dr Who fan and he's my favourite
