David Tennant in the Guardian - the irony!

[NImumconfused]

Can't believe he's so unaware that he thinks the trans side of the debate is the one that's been silenced! (about two thirds of the way down the article).

He’s an absolute halfwit.

Why do people pay attention to what actors say about politics and other social issues? They have no more insight into these complex matters than anybody else.

He is an annoying, misogynistic little man.

Such a shame, I have really enjoyed some of his acting roles, but his attitude to women (and lack of comment on the Neil Gaiman allegations) has ruined them for me.

Good to see his new gameshow getting unanimously panned by the critics.

I can't believe how much I used to like him, compared to how much I dislike him now! What an arse. He's still the best Doctor Who though!

Yup. He was just irritating on HIGNFY last night.

David Tennant has a son who thinks he isn't a boy, so we can't expect any objectivity from him.

As Helen Joyce said, the parents who transed their children will go down with this ship.

I know, and I understand that to a certain extent, but he also has three daughters - can be really not see how any of the potentially affects them?

And if his son is young and only non-binary at the moment, surely there's room to row back from that? It's not the same as if he'd gone the whole hog with hormones and surgery yet.

I agree that the trans debate has become unnecessarily cruel (assuming that is an accurate quote). Cruel to women and girls, especially as it should not have needed a Supreme Court ruling, the then Attorney General could have made this clear years ago.

Total DARVO.

What qualifies him to have an opinion on this? The fact he’s transed his child? Well that will be an objective voice then won’t it. He’s not a woman and not much of a father that I can see, dragging that poor child through the media every time he’s got a new to show to promote and needs air time. Shame on him.

Same! Although I found Blackpool on Prime and when I have a spare ten quid I would love to watch it again. I think. I used to have pictures of him on my office wall (I was in my 30s, haha!) and adored him. He makes me cringe now.

He told Kemi Badenoch to "shut up" thus setting god knows what on her, yet he says his side are "terrorised" into silence!!

Make it make sense. What an idiotic man.

Just another bog standard misogynist. If he's doing interviews he can talk about Neil Gaiman suing his 'alleged' rape victim for half a million quid. Nothing to say on that, LOADS to say about the nasty old women who want ridiculous things like no rapists in women's prisons.

He prefaced that with “"However, until we wake up and Kemi Badenoch doesn't exist any more –"

He's no different to the abusive men roaring and threatening women trying to speak.

I think because his wife says it’s fine he thinks it’s fine. As well as being misogynist he’s just so uncool these days. He seems to pop up everywhere, he’s getting his kids into the industry, he did that cringey dance at the BAFTAs, it just feels so desperate for someone who is actually a very good actor and has had a good career.

Don't tempt fate. He's the prime age for declaring his inner woman-ness and start skin-walking his wife. You just know he'd out-woman all the other women, too, and win a bunch of best actress awards.

🤢

To be fair, I don't think he specifies who might have been silenced?

It’s very helpful not being on social media, because that’s where, if someone criticises something you’ve said, it can feel like a pile-on and it can feel bigger than it probably is, which probably discourages people from saying things. Because that’s part of the point, isn’t it, that people are terrorised into not holding opinions – the idea that we can be silenced.

Oh shut up, David. Take your surprised rodent expression elsewhere, you absolute child-transing ghoul.

Slithery creature, he gives me the creeps.

He gives me the creeps. He’s seemed unable to discard neither the Dr Who nor Good Omens ‘quirky suits’ personae and is now rapidly ageing into skinny Liberace. Perhaps it’s little wonder if his children aren’t learning how and why to distinguish fantasy from reality.

Why is Mumsnet so weird? David Tennant is an utterly brilliant actor and a thoroughly nice human being. Just because his views don't align with your own does not make him a bad person.
