Graham Linehan on Jon Ronson's new book

My ex-friend Jon Ronson may be a case study in the corrupting toxicity of trans ideology. An interesting read.

His book chapter about me stands as an indictment of him and the cowardly social class of people who refuse to confront uncomfortable truths

Neither Linehan, nor anyone here has said that "transwomen are evil murderers who seek out and destroy anyone who has a different opinion from them"

But when reporting on a story, the omission of facts like that is relevant. Its used by people like Ronson to twist the story into a certain light. Factual reports of TW doing awful things shouldn't be buried so as not to damage the trans cause. Especially not in cases like this where the real story is about males who won't take no for an answer ruining something that was set up for women, by women.

Don't you even think those women's murders are worth a mention?

You sound just like Ronson: that the real problem isn't evil deeds, its the talking about them that's the really bad part.

ETA the worst thing about male violence against women is it makes men look bad.

"the real story is about males who won't take no for an answer ruining something that was set up for women, by women"

What are you referring to here, Michfest or the motorcycle club?

Linehan just called the disabled woman who mocked Ed Sheeran a "retard".

That's who he is.

Why is it ok to mock Ed Sheeran?

He mocked someone who mocked someone, shocker, without any details to go, so what?🤪

It’s a horrible word. I hate it used as an insult. What relevance is that to Jon Ronson’s book?

And still, men cannot become women.

You seem ever so slightly obsessed with him.

TPA is obsessed with this entire board. I would say it's odd but they're not the first TRA who just can't stay away despite their insistence on how awful FWR and everyone in it is

I hate the word retard.

Meanwhile....
Men can't be women.
Girls can't be boys.

Has this backfired on Jon Ronson or is he laughing all the way to the bank with the extra publicity
