I believe his little boy identifies as non-binary.

He's a misogynist and tries to cloak that under a "liberal", "woke" agenda.

Crazy to me that a right wing incompetant like Rishi Sunak will still stand up for an MP of his who's under attack for being a woman, whereas Kier Starmer the supposed humanist champion wouldn't stand up for Rosie Duffield for the same

Topsy turvy world we live in

She does also have a career as a producer. I'm only aware of that because her film played at an arts festival in Kirkcaldy, Fife. Local high school kids were given free tickets to it.

Later, DT did a paid Q&E session. (I attended that - could not do the film as well: I was my husband's carer at the time. I think they both did a Q&A after the film.)

He was certainly lovely to the local kids. Allowed them to take selfies, etc. in between the film and his solo Q&A.

At one point, he answered "Oh, I don't know!" to a question. A wifie from Cowdenbeath called out: "You don't know very much, do you!"

Embarrassed silence in the auditorium.

I'm very disappointed in his recent comments. He seems to think that his non-gender conforming wee boy is somehow in danger.

His comments about Badenoch were disgraceful.

Apparently he's since said that he wouldn't do it nowadays.

And protecting spaces based on biology can just mean any service can decide for themselves whether to admit men.

There has to be more than just leaving it up to the discretion of the provider.

appalling, tone deaf luvvie-wank

<licks pencil> that one's definitely going in the files

Not because women might find his portrayal offensive though. Because other men don't like it.

I'm ashamed to say that I didn't know that. I'm a Fifer and was always told that it was because of the royal residences here at Falkland and Dunfermline.

I live and learn.

Does the Pictish heritage explain why (historically) Fife was full of short-arses, I wonder?

I recall my husband telling me that his grandfather had seen a platoon of very short men during WW1 and wondered who they were. Fife coalminers turned sappers, it turned out. My husband was from Aberdeenshire and only 5ft 7. Judging from photographs, his grandfather was no taller.

I keep thinking about this now. It's completely and totally mad.

How can anyone possibly believe their child doesn't have a sex? Since when was "non-binary" even a thing? Pretty sure it wasn't around 10 years ago. And this kid is a child. Nine years old? Lots of kids that age still believe in Santa.

Yet defending his pre-adolescent child's right to pretend he doesn't have a sex is so important to him that he's willing to stand up and demand that anyone who disagrees with him shuts up and/or ceases to exist.

It's just...well, insane doesn't even begin to do justice to it.

I do hope that if it does come up in the leaders' debate tonight that both Sunak and Starmer don't just condemn Tennant's words and misogyny; but also point out how regressive and oppressive it is to think that just because a child doesn't conform to narrow, old-fashioned sexist stereotypes they are no longer the sex they were at birth.

The whole ideology is absurd, othering and very judgemental - as if boys who like stereotypically feminine things are not male enough to count as boys or men, and girls who don't buy into restrictive stereotypical behaviour or cannot (or don't want to) match current beauty standards aren't real girls. What an attitude to teach children and young people!

Tennant and Moffat's son has been completely misled if he thinks he's not still a boy. Between the ages of 3 and 11 my youngest DS grew his hair, loved singing gay anthems or pretending to be Baby Spice and wearing his older sister's hand-me-down multicoloured velour leggings after school. We never once criticised his choices or suggested that he wasn't a boy because of his interests or how he dressed (although it was hard not to smile as he regularly belted out a rendition of It's Raining Men in the kitchen as an 8 year old). He was a happy, gender-non-conforming little boy who grew up to be a lovely, well-adjusted young man. And a straight, quite gender conforming, one at that.

Yet defending his pre-adolescent child's right to pretend he doesn't have a sex is so important to him that he's willing to stand up and demand that anyone who disagrees with him shuts up and/or ceases to exist.

And also willing to completely disregard his child's safety by putting pictures online of the child wearing a t-shirt declaring something like "Let's get one thing straight - I'm not" because declaring your 9 year old child's sexuality online is great safeguarding, isn't it? Especially when where they live and where they go to school is also available online.

I should point out that when the child in question was acting in Casualty it was in a male role, plus ca change!

He's an actor as well is he? The Tennants love a bit of nepotism. Haven't a couple of their other children gone into acting too?
Iirc Georgia Tennants 'career as a producer' consists of that one film that David bankrolled and starred in. She is an appalling actor but lives through the fame she acquires as a nepo baby/wife/mother.

There is a difference, though, between critiquing someone views and making personal attacks based on the fact you don't agree with those views. Kemi seems to get a lot of the latter.

When, and if, the Darlington nurses' case makes more of the mainstream media people will really start to wake up - and be able to relate what is happening to people like them, in workplaces like theirs.

Thanks @Brainworm its actually on now 2 - 3

Isn't their son non-binary? (I think he's 10)

I found this interesting too

Helen Joyce on why some TRAs will absolutely have to stay 'on message' so to speak

Don't know about that but it's why we have villages with names like Auchterarder, Auchtertol and Auchtermuchti😁

The man’s an idiot.
All his ‘arguments’ boil down to is ‘fuck off’, ‘shut up’, wearing a T-shirt that calls people who don’t believe that children should be transitioned ‘freaks’, another T-shirt that says ‘you’ll have to go through me’ (ok, nowadays he looks like a stiff breeze would knock him over), and wishing that Kemi Badenoch didn’t exist.
He has the reasoning of a teenager ranting at his mum because she won’t let him out to see his friends until he tidies his bedroom.

I am embarrassingly fascinated by combination Pictish/Gaelic/Scots placenames. Auchter is from the Gaelice, though:

'Aber' and 'Pit' are likely Pictish.

IMO he wouldn't have used those words if it was a white man he disagreed with. I think he's racist and I'm basing that on his actions here.

Wishing someone out of existence is pretty awful - surely 'literal violence' and 'genocide' according to the side he supports in this. They're always saying women simply expressing a preference for single sex spaces are committing 'literal violence' and 'genocide' and 'don't want trans people to exist' but when Tennant ACTUALLY wishes - and says out loud in a public setting - that a black woman doesn't exist, there's crickets? Double standards galore - it's just unhinged.

Afraid I never really liked him - he had that smug know-it-all air of the weedy obnxious kid in school that everyone wanted to kick the shit out of, but couldn’t ‘cos his mum was Deputy Head.

Pretty sure he wouldn't hesitate to use the same words and worse about, say , Johnson, Rees-Mogg, Farage or many other white men. In fact, he almost certainly already has.
