Linehan tweeting misogyny and racism now

[GiddyGiddyGiddy]

Seems to have completed his lurch to the far-right - in addition to his vocal support of Trump, I suppose his 'defender of women and girls' schtick doesn't really wash any more...

Here is the link to the data:

A link to the article:

A couple of points to consider with this poll. It didn't separate questions with specific scenarios about male people with transgender identities and female people with transgender identities. Many of the young people answering may have a very different focus depending on the sex of the person.

Many female people at that age for instance will have female friends with transgender identities that they are supporting in what they understand that female friend wants.

However, even though some do (moreso than older generations) believe that people should choose the provision, the majority of this age group do not believe that people of the opposite sex should be using the opposite sex single sex provision.
The majority of this age group also WANT single sex provisions.

I kept looking for this year’s update to the tracker

I think this is what you want. The last data is 28th January 2026 & it's specifically about toilets.

Those in favour of separate toilets for men & women 50%
Those in favour of gender neutral toilets as well as separate toilets for men & women 38%

https://yougov.com/en-gb/trackers/support-for-separate-toilets-for-men-and-women-and-gender-neutral-toilets-in-public-spaces

Well the trend certainly appears indisputable.

Getting all the crap out of schools and FWS's unequivocal clarification have been momentous.

And, of course, we have to thank operation let them speak for the rest.

And Yougov’s analysis:

While 18-24 year olds remain the most permissive group when it comes to trans rights, there has likewise been an increase in scepticism.
In 2022, there had only been net negativity among the young on the three questions about providing transgender treatment to under-16s, as well as transgender women being able to participate in women’s sporting events. As of December 2024, this sentiment now extends to transgender men participating in men’s sports, as well as a reluctance to make it easier to change your gender legally, and resistance to the use of gendered changing rooms by transgender people who have not undergone gender reassignment surgery.
When it comes to the key questions of whether people should be able to socially identify as a different gender, the number of 18-24 year olds who say they should – 61% – remains almost exactly the same as in 2022. However, the number who say they should not has risen eight points to 25% over the same time period.
And when it comes to whether you should be allowed to legally change your gender, support among the young has actively diminished: while 50% still say so, this has fallen seven points since the prior study. At the same time, belief that you should not be allowed to change your gender legally has increased by a full 16 points, to 36%.

Yes. If used the same conceptualisation of ‘brand’ then those who support the extreme version of transgender rights where male people should have access to any female single sex provision surely needed to work on their ‘brand’ decades ago.

Including activists in the 70s/ 80s who referred to female people as ‘Gennies’. (Of course, never ro be confused with female donkeys by those who only heard the term never saw it written)

The list is very long.

But it always comes down to people thinking tribally about their political view when the reality is that most people will disagree on one aspect of an issue (or completely about an issue) with even people they highly respect.

The train always goes in one direction.

I don't know if TRAs realise this and are just violently immersed in the death throes. Or if they truly believe women and feminist groups can actually be bullied into reversing the trend.

Their 'You Must Condemn Graham Linehan' campaign suggests the latter.

Thanks

but no I was after the more in-depth polls that had been asking the same questions about single sex provision usage since 2018. They made a tweak in 2020. And then sex matters got a poll done with the same questions and I think the Labour Party got a similar one done December 2024 that was released in Jan 2025. They were yearly or every two years for a period.

And really, it still only boils down to the mantra “transwomen are women”, which is meaningless now that everyone knows that woman means biological woman.

My opinions are my own. (And I’m not a TRA of any kind.)

Yes, so are mine and still this entire thread exist exclusively to blame GC women for being duped and influenced by vague far right forces. You have your own opinions but we are just sheeple.

Do the TRAs ever take a step back and ponder why GC women would need 'far right' bogeymen to convince them humans can't change sex and women deserve their legal rights upheld?

Because that's conclusion an intelligent woman can come to by herself.

I am not blaming anyone here for what Glinner tweets, as I wrote before. I wouldn’t expect to be blamed for what other people write, or their opinions, either.

However, Glinner does do questionable things and has dubious judgement at times. For feminists, some of his opinions might be stretching the boundaries. I don’t have an issue with saying this is problematic for me. It may not be for you, and that’s fine.

Yes, indeed. Quite telling of some posters’ cognitive biases.

Yes, indeed.

And yet, somehow the women of FWR are linked to what GL says outwith GC issues and in some weird way held responsible for it or at least expected to distance us from it. This is what this thread was created for.

Yes, anyone who goes around calling people “sheeple” isn’t someone whose opinion I respect, wouldn’t you agree? Because that’s what @Igneococcus and I are referring to, a post earlier in the thread, in case you thought my comment was a dig at you.

Yes, it’s similar to the question of why all these women are able to claim discrimination and harassment in court and win when there’s absolutely no conflict of rights la la la.

Ok, so we can conclude that none of us are responsible for Graham's tweets so the whole premise of this thread is ridiculous.

Good to get that cleared up.

It is problematic for you that one man does things you dont like?

And it is really, really important that you get your chance to say that repeatedly?

You really need to move on, he isnt that into you love.

How many data centres are we gonna need if everyone o the planet has to say online that they disagree with everyone they disagree with? Sheesh.

Thank fuck for that.

Glad I didn't waste my time with it.

I had a huge belly laugh at one point this morning. A couple of posts cracked me up!

I don't think the OP was saying any of us are responsible for him. Wasn't it just sharing some information about something he posted? Maybe I missed a post

I reject your framing.

Corbyn is on record for decades as supporting anti-democratic, theocratic and misogynist regimes in the Middle East (and elsewhere) as part of his anti-capitalism set of beliefs, as well as frequently making anti-semitic statements. When this behaviour is pointed out to Corbyn he prevaricates and denies.

Graham Linehan is on record as supporting women's groups and women's rights, he has platformed women's writing/voices and, by his own statements, is known as considering feminism to be a good thing. Linehan's retweet was explained to him by women who disliked it and he acknowledged his error.

If you read through the thread, you will see plenty of posts suggesting Graham's retweets reflect badly on GC women. For ... reasons.

Surely if they want information on what a man posts they will just...follow that man on social media?
