What is in the water this week?! Glinner now making a mockery of the cause

75 replies

RobynMiller · Yesterday 17:06

I know I know I should just get off twitter but this week is just back to back GC news and not in a good way.

If you haven't seen, Glinner posted a video mocking Green Leader Zack Polanski, understandable plenty of material for a comedy writer there, but the video is so unhinged and unfunny.

Some speculating Graham was drunk when he made it but it's been 24 hours and he's left it up so maybe not.

I feel like we are finally gaining real ground in this fight and this makes GCs look like a bunch of lunatics.

I know there is no formal hierarchy but like it or not, for better and worse, we do have public faces and 'spokespeople' for this fight and this is just embarrassing.

I just feel so helpless because there can't be any accountability for this kind of thing but my God.

Thanks for listening to my rant, just been a very frustrating week.

No, I believe in biology and I'm not far right. My point is people who were posting things regarding GC that I agreed with were also posting far right tosh and racist posts and it caused me to disengage with the movement. I think that the far right have latched on to this issue, and are poisoning the GC arena.

You know how that could be solved? By the left stepping up, stepping back from their misogynistic ways and realising women have rights too. At the moment, people are turning away from the left because of this issue. It’s one of the reasons Trump won. All the democrats had to do was stop the gender bullshit and they’d have been a shoo in.

I say get off twitter and don't look so much to public figureheads. Celeb tittle tattle is not very edifying.

Do your own research, read widely, pay attention to your own gut instincts - and think things through. Keep abreast of what is going on by following 'Sex Matters' and keep up with the live court cases so that you can hone your thinking.

I watched his interview on Triggernometry a few months ago and it seems he's now pro Trump and thinks that the US is the greatest place on Earth. It was a very strange watch

I agree, the whole thing has obviously impacted on his mental health. Which is totally understandable given the absolute wringer he was put through.

He would be best off taking a six months break from anything trans related.

Sex matters are public figureheads so you’re contradicting yourself

They are a charity....not celebrities with a personal following.

Humans are tribal. We may not like it, but it is hard to get away from. So if someone adopts a GC stance and is thrown out of the “left tribe”, they find themselves homeless and lonely. So if the “far right” tribe start being sympathetic, it is likely they will be lured in that direction and adopt other far right ideas.

that is why is is so important to keep a “big tent” approach to many political issues and not shun those who disagree on one issue. It just turns friends into enemies.

And also why you/we should get off social media and don't rely on it for y/our political education,.

The narrative that you said- that you can’t change sex and that men aren’t women. Thankfully it’s not mostly Gc feminists who are saying this. So now everyone else is saying it the Gc feminists don’t own the narrative. They made a complete pigs ear of it when they did.

If it wasn’t for GC feminists you could be sacked with impunity just for questioning the opposing narrative.

WarriorN · Today 09:07

I just see Father Zack in that.

He’s taking the piss, as the creator of father Jack.

Zack is dangerous and ridiculous. In my opinion so is Trump, though their alternative was equally so. Trump and Zack have common ground in terms of their ability to manipulate and fool people.

We can all be independent thinkers. And separate comedy from reality.

Pocahontasandme · Today 09:08

I don’t agree. They spoke up first but hey made such a mess of it since I’m afraid I can’t thank them for anything. If it wasn’t for Gc feminists many other people would be saying this. But they won’t let anyone in, they slag off everyone who speaks up and they constantly criticise each other

Pocahontasandme · Today 09:09

Gc feminists are also humourless so they’ve never really been happy with glinner

What are you smoking, and can I have a rip?

Gc feminists don’t own the narrative anymore. Thank God for that as they’re an awful crowd - nasty, destructive, self sabotaging, divisive, puritanical, tribal… I could go on for days really

I’m sure you will.

Pocahontasandme · Today 09:26

Right so you’ve no argument and you’re going for personal insults. What a shocker. Entirely surprise move from the Gc feminists

OpheliaWitchoftheWoods · Today 09:37

Er yeah.

So the far right is racist and (apparently, although this is never explained) believes in women's rights and equality, gay rights and child safeguarding.

The left in all shades is openly sexist, misogynistic, ageist, ableist, racist, classist, homophobic,and unable to handle reality.

Yeah.

I'm sure I could somehow manage to make the sacrifice of having to eat a teacake every day. It's a tough job but someone's got to do it.

Helleofabore · Today 09:57

If it wasn’t for Gc feminists many other people would be saying this.

How would people be speaking up about the issues if it wasn’t for the feminists pointing out the issues in the first place?

Have you spoken up and worked towards getting the government and organisations to make changes? How would you have had any depth of information to draw on to do that without those feminists you have disparaged and insulted?

And I am not quite understanding how feminists have made a mess of it?

Why would you not want to eat Tunnocks everyday?

I have never eaten any Tunnocks product. Do I have to stop being a gender critical feminist?
