This happens all the time at the company I work for- my boss and I call it flatuatingI'm actually kind of impressed that they managed to write a paragraph that says absolutely nothing.
taking up a lot of space with something and it kind of just floats around and is completely meaningless. Usually it’s the men.There have been a high level of complaints about the Sun front page to IPSO. I wonder whether any of the Harry Potter crew or Redmayne will stick their oar in. I suspect not. They dont think abused women are their target audience. They probably dont have as much time to keyboard warrior on Twitter for a start so who cares about them eh?
God I'm in the same position! I am and always have been centre left and very politically engaged. Now I'm basically a Tory because in the eyes of the hard left anyone to the centre of Corbyn is a Tory including the majority of the Labour Party. Its depressing and infuriating. They shut down debate on every side. I hate it I have a degree in politics. I have been involved in politics since my teens. I was one of those weirdos that loved government procedure Now I get told I'm brainwashed so many times by people who couldn't give a duck about politics 3 or 4 years ago/ couldn't be bothered to vote in the Brexit referendum and yet are now outraged by it etc that I dont engage or speak about it anywhere. I have completely disengaged from politics for the first time in my adult life.
I used to be more left but am very centre now. I find as im getting older, I am getting more conservative in my views. I am 28 btw. Lol.
Regarding the Tories, I don’t know why people see them as anti-trans. All this transgender business in the past 5 years, including putting men without gender certificates in women’s prisons, has happened under their rule.
Dan Fogler tweeted a very similar message, yet he's not receiving half as much backlash as Evanna. In fact, most people are praising his words.
More men need to stand up and be counted on this. Probably why they arent pushing the ftm issues in the same way as Mtf because they know once straight men are told if they dont start dating trans women they are trans phobic the tide will turn against them. No one listens to women ( unless they are trans women)
I feel your pain and am similar. In my youth I was left wing and I remember being delighted when Blair got elected. Disillusionment soon set in and now I don't feel represented by any political party.
It’s a tale as old as time isn’t it? If anything this whole fiasco has shone a huge spotlight on misogyny in our society. It really can’t be any more obvious at this point. Not that anyone will notice because they are too busy crying ‘transwomen are women’ over and over.
I thought the same they remained very neutral and actually managed to not chuck JKR under the bus at the same time. It’s enough to keep the activists happy without shitting all over one of the biggest names on their books and they’ve not once spoken or apologised in her behalf. Good on them.
Yes you make a very good point. There are many artists whose work I admire but their private lives may have been rather questionable (certainly by today's stringent toxic morality code). We must always separate art from the artist and acknowledge that we cannot apply todays attitudes to Regency times, Victorian times, 1940s, 1980s, etc etc
I realise that it's a divisive debate but I don't see anyone here saying "bleeping trans supporters" about people on this thread. There have been many civil posts from both sides. Are you saying that all women should feel safe in toilets with male bodies? That's just not always going to be the case unfortunately. Women are entitled to a safe space if they so wish
AMEN to this, exact same boat.
YES i would feel safe, there is no reason to feel threatened, tell me what could possibly happen? chances are you probably have already used a female toilet which a trans person has used as well and you didn’t even notice, people already judge them a lot for unfortunately being born in the wrong body and now they can’t even use their toilet because their body doesn’t match? (pretending a female born with a male body) that persons mentality is of the gender they truly are so i think the chances of your privacy being destroyed? is very low. Your telling me the safety of a toilet is based on the people who go in there? There are past criminals who have probably used a public toilet same time as you, should we ban all criminals and send them to a different toilet because perhaps they can’t be trusted? No.
