David Tennant seemingly hates women

[Loveaghost]

Just seen David Tennant on The Assembly. Might be a repeat not sure. Flabbergasted that in response to a question about supporting transwomen in women’s spaces he said people need to ‘stop the hatred’, step aside and ‘let people just be.’ (Imagine that being said in his over the top faux ‘man of the people’ manner.)

He was then asked a question about making Good Omen’s 3 when Neil Gaiman has been ‘cancelled’ due to the light issues of being accused of Sex trafficking and rape of women. Here, he simply said he couldn’t ’leave people on a cliffhanger’ and moved on.

So, he’s happy to literally line the pockets of (very alleged) male rapists whilst at the same time arguing women not letting men in their spaces is hatred.

Fuck David Tennant.

Hilarious that you think this is some sort of gotcha! Or that with it you’ll manage to deflect attention from your failure to provide any evidence to back up your homophobic, racist slurs.

I completely respect him for supporting his child.

Yes, this is an important point. Tennant doesn't tell most people who do things that one hopes he presumes objectionable that they need to not exist. Hence not feeling the need to comment publicly on some of them that he's been around, such as Barrowman and Gaiman. He hasn't even said that about the majority of prominent GC people. But he chose to do so to Badenoch, treated her differently.

The sad fact is that 62% of transwomen in prison in England and Wales have convictions for sex offences. Transwomen are at least as likely to be violent as other men, and it's transwomen who, in many cases, are ignoring the law and still invading women's spaces.

@Limoncellospritzz care to guess what percentage of transmen in prison have convictions for sex crimes?

To be clear, I already know the answer.

It's not anti-trans to highlight that transwomen demonstrate male pattern violence as a class, while transmen have a similar criminal profile to other women.

Prioritising your child’s wants over the rest of society’s needs, isn’t very admirable. It won’t stand the child in good stead when they have to navigate a world that’s not organised around only them.

You stopped paying your licence fee because David Tennant? The man who has appeared in rather a lot of major dramas on ITV, Channel 4, Disney, Netflix, Sky etc? Can we take it you have also given up paying for streaming channels and anything advertised on ITV and C4?

I used to be a fan of David Tenant but the lustre has definitely worn off. I do believe I trying to be kind to people but not at the expense of women’s single sex rights.

He is an awful little man and I hope he reads all this. I don't care about his trans/they/them kid. He obviously bangs the Let Them In Women's Spaces drum doesn't he?

'Stop the hatred'

=

exclude women 'broken' and worthless from society, (the traumatised, the disabled, the ones from cultures and faiths that he has nothing to do with)

force women to go on being harassed and raped in prisons and on hospital wards, strip searched by an excited policeman with 'woman' on his ID, to sit in rape crisis services with a man focused on his own experience and enjoyment using them, and to require lesbians to have no space free of men identifying as lesbians who see them as the most exciting sexual target and hold workshops on 'breaking through the cotton ceiling' - how to get their knickers off them to use them for sex ffs....

view women's consent and voices as entirely irrelevant

and turn a blind eye to the never ending backwash of threats and ideation of extreme sexual violence from these men, and that many are openly in women's spaces performing a fetish and loving the power. Whole list of prejudices there tucked beneath a liberal catchphrase.

He's another walking talking reason why women need sex based rights in law that protect them from men like this.

He's always on BBC. He has a BBC podcast, regularly hosts Have I Got News For You, narrated on Twenty Twenty Six, starred in a new BBC drama this year, hosts shows on Radio 2 etc.

The BBC despises women who know that men can't change sex!

And yes, I gave up on channel 4 and itv for similar reasons.

I'm hardly alone - viewing figures for those channels are tiny these days.

Are all trans women dangerous predators? Of course not.

Only some trans women are dangerous predators.

Just like only some men are dangerous predators.

But nevertheless we exclude all men from women's spaces.

So by the same logic we also exclude those men who are trans women. This is not dehumanising the men who are trans women any more than it dehumanised the men who are not.

What you are asking for is that we give the men who are trans women special access that the men who are not trans women don't get.

But if you accept the legitimacy that women's spaces exclude all men because so e are problematic, you cannot then use the argument it is demonising to exclude all trans women because some are problematic, because by accepting wonen-only spaces in the first place you already accept the general concept.

So uf you want to argue for the men who are trans women to have access to women only spaces you can only base your argument on their being actually women rather than men, and no one has yet been able to make that argument from first principles, only from some form of "well they say they are women, and as long as the word women doesn't actually mean anything that works", which is obviously no argument at all.

Are all trans women deluded? I don't know. But 100% certainly all trans women are sexist, because the belief that the fundamental and defining difference between men and women is that our minds are different, and all the shit that happened and happens to female people because of our physical sex isn't relevant to being a women or to the existence of women's spaces and women's rights is sexist as fuck.

Which is what David Tennant also is for nodding along to it and attacking women for calling it out.

No, she was mocking the hypocrisy of the supposedly progressive left.

His child, isn't likely to be rendered infertile because there is no way Tennant is going to allow that. He is seeing a fad and instead of saying 'don't be stupid' puts not only other children at risk by celebrating this fad, but women and children at risk by calling them 'whingeing little fuckers' if they want their legal rights to single sex spaces.

Tennant can fuck right off.

Agree

i dont like the rush to cancel people based on a few words in an interview

you will hate everyone if you apply such ridiculous high criteria for acceptance

I can't stand him. The man is an smug, sanctimonious, hypocritical arsehole.

Although I must say, his portrayal of arch villain Tony Baddingham in Rivals really is top notch stuff. I've just realised it's possibly because he's playing a nasty, manipulative, misogynistic man. It must just come so naturally to him.

Keep digging.

How is a woman expected to get her clothes off without protest for one man who says he has a gender identity, while saying no to another man who says he has a gender identity?

I mean putting aside for a moment this whole lunacy of expecting a woman to undress and validate any man with her body, which is heading fast out of the deep end of misogyny into something one hell of a lot darker and more pathological

what are women (the ones who CAN used mixed sex spaces) supposed to do? Strip off and hope that this man with a gender identity doesn't happen to assault them today? While the ones who can't just end up entirely excluded from public spaces and services?

Ffs. Have a mixed sex space. Women who want to can undress all day in there to emotionally support men with gender identities, I wish them nothing but the best. What is this obsession with forcing non consenting and distressed women to submit? It's the kind of territory to unpack with a therapist.

@FlirtsWithRhinos Brilliant post.

Incarceration is not the same as offending & the trans population is too small to make any meaningful statistical conclusions about.

An appeal to 'basic human kindness' - oh come on.

One man in a women's space can cause major problems for every single woman there.

And have you noticed how hard it is to get convictions on men for sexual violence against women, never mind a prison sentence? You're not talking about mild, one off crimes here.

What an actor thinks is irrelevant anyway, this was thoroughly tested in law and the law is clear. Women are entitled to protection from men who believe in their right to use those women as personal resources.

But to what extent? If he supports his son to enter single sex spaces reserved for women and girls that is at the expense of my daughter’s dignity and consent. Which is why I would like David T and others to explicitly state what they mean by ‘let them just be’.

You don't get it. It's about MALES being possible deluded and dangerous predators and sexual deviants (and we have millennia of examples this being true). You seem to think 'trans' is a third sex or something. An infallible third sex. We make no distinction between transwomen and males, because there is zero distinction.

You seem to think they're entirely different groups altogether. That's why we're arguing at cross points. To us, all males are males. To you, you think taking 1% of males away from the other 99% percent, relabelling them as 'transwomen' makes them safe. That is truly delusional, and as we know we more than enough evidence, untrue.

You think there is an infallible subset of males. We, know better.

PS you lot always, always, always forget that it's also about privacy and dignity away from the male gaze. Not just 'safety'. Women flee to the ladies to escape a man. We cry. Seek help. We miscarry there. We change out at the sinks to go clubbing. We wash blood-stained underwear at the sink, and baby sick off our blouses. We are in a semi state of dress. We don't want MALES there, understand??

Oh they get it alright. But promoting the erosion of women’s rights and putting men’s wants before women’s safety and dignity is not a good look so they have to pretend the issue is all about being trans rather than the real issue of it being all about being men.
