Oh, PPs have answered my question. Thank you.

It’s completely reasonable to fear men, isn’t it. So many nasty, dangerous ones.

Long before I really thought through all the implications of trans ideology, finding that Crispin Blunt was full on TRA made me think harder.

A quick google will bring up an number of outrageous claims re trans rights and his assumed right to champion it. eg this

FYI here's a thread on the misogynistic Crispin Blunt.

Still, as has been pointed out, he did(allegedly) hit a male MP, so there is that.

And this (who would have thought we had Liz Truss to thank)

Blunt says he is dismayed at the talk of “balancing” trans rights with women’s’ rights. He points to the fact that 84% of transgender people in the UK have contemplated suicide, and 50% have attempted it. “That is an indicator the rest of society needs to up our game and understanding [in] how to support these people.”

Perviously famous for being an open poppers user.

He said women were making trans people act in 'angry and confrontational ways' because we're 'strident'. I assume by 'angry and confrontational', he was referring to the assaults, death threats, the 'suck my cock' type protests any time a woman wants to speak...

“You've had strident women's rights campaigners... who have provoked trans people to respond often in an angry and confrontational way, and that is unsurprising because this is a central assault on their identity,” Blunt says.

He had to apologize for breaching parliamentary rules, trying to make a secret deal on self id.

Then he defended his mate who sexually assaulted a teenage boy.

Isn’t he also quite keen on campaigning for men in women’s spaces?

He is. Among other things he and his APPG produced a set of TRA guidance for parliament then was incensed that they didn't do what he wanted.

Well he's already stood down. Goodbye Blunt. Maybe you will find that if charged, it is very very very expensive to have a lawyer defend you without legal aid, which your own party has removed except in the most minimal of cases.

Who knows whether this allegation is true. However we can unequivocally say he is a misogynist and all round horrible human being.

He also made extensive contributions in favour of psychedelics/magic mushrooms in a recent debate.

Tbh the use of psychedelics (which is being researched properly for treatment of depression and trauma) is a small redeeming aspect. But I don't think his contribution offers much else

Although this is obviously a very serious allegation.....this has just made me laugh out loud.

He was incensed by Lisa Townsend standing for women's rights and demanded she repent.

Apparently he has been suspended not resigned.

The MP for Reigate said he will “co-operate fully” with the ongoing investigation and is “confident” that he will not be charged.

He said he has been interviewed twice over the incident, the first time three weeks ago when he “initially reported my concern over extortion”.

Lol

So many men who are very vocal about striping women of their rights appear to have massive issues with boundaries.
Weird innit.

It was bad enough when he was only a smug, misogynistic, hypocritical, condescending Brexity twat.

But now, it appears, he's also possibly an actual rapist.

Although, literally nothing surprises me about the Tory party these days.

That is golden 😂

This really feels like the end of the Major years now, crapfest after crapfest, following sleazy shenanigans and just feeling generally grimy in general.

I thought his support for a convicted sex offender might be his low point, yet here we are.

Awful, awful man.

Always on the Right Side of History, is LOJ.

I can't help wondering if his victim was male or female
Or indeed, how they identified
whatever, I hope that they are being supported

I wonder if male or not

Not good either way.

Poor little Owen. What will it take for him to think that just maybe he has it all wrong?

Dd and I had the same reaction! From the first notice that an unnamed Tory MP' we were both convinced it would be him. Then the confirmation came and we found ourselves celebrating! Not of course for what he's (allegedly) done, but that he is being publicly called to account.

He is an utterly odious man.
