Just to be clear, I’m not having a go at Hannu.

He’s as entitled to his opinion as anyone else.

Homegrove ..see my post above. I’m not convinced she’s transphobic (not sure I entirely agree with her either), but now she’s expressed her opinion, people are desperate to ‘cancel’ her, and won’t listen to the nuances of what she’s saying or debate the topic in any rational way.

    hugopal people are throwing around what are serious allegations as casually and mindlessly as a batty woman chucking bits of stale bread to pigeons

    Seems as good an opportunity as any to get some Mary Poppins in

        Over the years I’ve found the best way to mange my prejudices is to hate absolutely everyone equally.

          -si- And yet we have absolute mental cases whose ability to present cold, hard facts come in the form of sharing tweets,

          And people who aren’t so mental but still rely on Twitter for their ‘news’.

          Have a read of this

          https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/science-and-disease/one-third-uk-may-not-get-coronavirus-vaccine-one-developed-new/

          And note the correlation of those suspicious of a vaccine with where they get their news from.

          Highlights, for me, the danger of Social Media.

          Folks blindly posting unverified shite from Twitter and representing them as fact really grinds my gears.

              Not surprised.

              Also portrays a ‘normal’ family, therefore homophobic.
              Probably misogynistic too, as the father makes a lot of decisions, utilising his white male privilege to the max.
              And as for Mary, why doesn’t a man get the job?

              How the thing got released is baffling

                  Mad_Cyril nothing says “scandalous white male privilege” more than being a chimney sweep.

                    Oh for fuck’s sake the article I posted has proof that her opions are based on nothing. There is no proof of anything that worries her. Yet she feels the need to use her powerful platform to rail against vulnerable people. And with a 12 million twitter following claim she’s being silenced.

                    Trans women of colour have a life expectancy of about 35 years because so many of them kill themselves, or else get killed by bigots. Can’t imagine the statistic is that much better for other trans people. Thinking a man says he’s trans just to get into women’s bathrooms is transphobic bullshit.

                    hugopal In what way is she “transphobic”?

                    Apparently, in the Harry Potter books (I didn’t read them myself because I’m not a knob head) most of the Trannys got turned into frogs or killed very early on. Zero character development. Also, there were footnotes for which characters menstruated and which didn’t, there was even a table in the appendix to that effect.

                    Most of this was glossed over in the films.

                        Must admit all the uproar about blackface in entertainment from the 20s onwards etc seem a bit misdirected - you’re really going to cancel Gone With The Wind? lol.

                        Did they go after all the Othello movies from back in the day as well?

                        Emotive stuff rom Michael Holding, especially just before the 5 minute mark.

                        4 real. Not some bandwagon jumper

                          Holding is class, what a great bloke.
