Calls for Graham Linehan to be removed from Prime Debate on transgender issues!

I don't have much to add to this debate, it's complex and I don't have the answers (yet)... but heres an experience I had recently:

On new years eve i was out with friends, a lady approached one of the lads, she had a great (feminine) body & was genuinely an atractive looking female... However, it became evident after a couple of minutes that she was in fact a male. The first give away was body movements, mannerisims, and interactions, with that in mind I noticed her voice (not masculine, but not feminine), then small things that were hard to fully put your finger on like facial expressions or how she formed words... Two of us twigged it (it took a while) & the third guy who she was chatting up was still chatting to her. She was being overtly sexual. He eventually removed himself from the conversation & had found the same conculsion all on his own. She was incredibly close to a woman, must have spend a fortune on (high quality?) physical alterations, & was so close to being a girl, but I'm not sure those final hurdles could be reached where they were completely recognisable as a woman.

To be honest, he/she/they were a bit of craic & we had no problem with them, but they were chatting up one of the lads, in a overtly sexual manner... If he wasn't able to figure it out himself & went home with them, he'd be entitled to be angry that he was suduced by a male acting as a female... Everyone in society has rights, including unsuspecting lads...

I may have put this together in a ham fisted way, & I'm not trying to be negative towards the person in question, but even finding the right language to use is difficult in this scenario.

Your mate should have sucked that woman’s dick so as not to be transphobic or something.

The situation wouldn't be changing... the lack of honesty would be exposed... a sexual encounter where one party is being decieved is not a healthy situation. To counter this, all trans people would need to be upfront about their change with many people they meet. This cannot be controlled or guarunteed, so difficult situations will arise.

Again, you are misrepresenting what I said. I posed it as a question & I was clear in that the interactions were sexually overt in nature... so it's not about some man getting hot and bothered, it's about the potential situation that could occur where someone puts another person in a situation they are not comfortable in, nor chose to be in... You seem to think that theres no potential issue. But please don't start slinging ****e at me.

That is complete bollox. I posed a potential scenario & didn't offer a solution. Please apply the context of my comments and stop attacking.

I'm not attacking you.

I am wondering how this " all trans people would need to be upfront about their change with many people they meet" suggestion you made would work in real life terms.

I even suggested some possible solutions, ones that would avoid those awkward conversations of ' John, this is Jenny' 'Heelllo Jenny, how you doing? ' I'm fine John, life is great now that I am no longer Jeremiah'.
John notices Jenny is wearing a Gardenia corsage and says 'Nice to meet you Jenny'... of course John could also say 'Get away from me you F***ing abomination' because John has issues with transgender people.

You are the one who feels it is particularly an issue in potential sexual encounters so I referenced that. What about other situations? Clothes shopping - could be some awkward moments there. Or job interview? Should a transgender person put it on their C.V? Or wait til the interview?

Again, the highlighted text read out of context... but as peresented with & connected to the previpous sentence it references a particular scenario... one that is clearly spelled out in my original post:

Please stop being arguementative.
To clarify. I did not say, nor did I mean that trans people should have to identify themselves upfront (I do not believe they should). I'm just questioning particular social interactions and how they may play out.

You just said "I did not say, nor did I mean that trans people should have to identify themselves upfront (I do not believe they should)" but previously you said "all trans people would need to be upfront about their change with many people they meet".

Can't blame a person for being confused about what you mean when you have said two completely different, and contradictory, things.

I'm not being argumentative.

I am picking up your ball (:P) and running with it.
You said "all trans people would need to be upfront about their change with many people they meet" - and yes, you referenced a particular social situation that could end up having a sexual nature - so my little possible conversation was based on just such a situation.



But - why stop at that one social situation?
There are many potential pits falls leading to moments of utter awkwardness out there.

I could imagine would be even more humiliating for the trans person and could potentially lead to a violent response from the partner. Is it not best to be upfront as soon as the potential for a sexual relationship becomes apparent? That doesn't mean advertising it to all and sundry but surely a potential sexual partner has the right to fully informed consent?

During the repeal the eighth referendum, Graham Linehan was interviwed by RTE about his support for repeal. He also had articles, opinion pieces and commentary published in the Irish Times, The Journal, Loving.ie, her.ie, Time, The Guardian, amongst others. To all the people posting here who protested his appearance on Prime Time as he is not an expert on trans isaues, could you show me your posts where you objected to his very vocal commentary on the Eighth?

There were no complaints, because his supposed lack of expertise is not your problem. Your problem is that he went of the SJW script and dared have a different opinion to the mob.

He spoke about his own family's experience and how the 8th Amendment would have affected them, had they been living in Ireland at the time. His experience of trans issues doesn't appear to extend beyond obsessively arguing on the internet about the topic, day in, day out.

In 2004, Helen Linehan had an abortion as the fetus she was carrying had a fatal fetal abnormality. They just happened to be living in London at the time - if it had happened a year later when they were living in Ireland she would have had to travel to the UK to have an abortion due to the 8th.
I think in this instance Graham was speaking about his personal experience.

https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/people/graham-and-helen-linehan-it-s-a-story-we-shouldn-t-have-to-tell-1.2403648

I haven't heard he has any personal experience of transgender people in his immediate family.

Keep in mind I said he should be allowed to speak but these are two different things - one he experienced himself and the other he is just Mr Concerned Citizen who tends to loose the plot a bit on Twitter.

If the discussion had been about online harassment, then maybe he would have been qualified to discuss it. In addition to being targeted, he received a warning from the police about his own behaviour, so he'd be more qualified than most.

Probably a major factor for other people that may have been further up RTÉ’s list of potential candidates for the programme than Linehan.
It’s all well and good saying they should have this doctor or that professor on instead but there’s not much to gain and everything to lose on certain topics.

Honestly if a man wants to be a woman or a woman wants to be a man and they are adults, let them at it. I’ve really no issue with that. However don’t expect everyone to go along with your “feeling” and bend over backwards so that a majority can accommodate an extremely demanding minority.

If you are Mike and you now want to be Mary, I accept that and out of decency and manners I’ll refer to you as Mary as that is what makes you happy and I’ve no issue with anyone living out their days as whatever they wish. Do I want to share a communal women’s changing area with you? No. I do not. Would I every truly believe you are your chosen gender? No, I would not. Furthermore I don’t understand how your offended feelings about that should override my right to privacy and safety as an actual, real woman.

But “I feel” like a woman in a mans body. No, no you don’t, you don’t know what it feels like to be a woman because you have never been one and every chromosome in your body is male.

This is pointedly a psychological issue, not a biological one and it should be treated as such.

Sure. But this happens right now anyway. "I'm a pilot", "I'm a really big Star Wars fan too!".

People deceive eachother all the time to get a ride. Right or wrong, it's a fact.

Why just trans people? What makes this a special case that requires special care and attention? Is it happening all the time? Does it cause the deceived person to get hurt?

It's a bit different when the deceit involves a violation of someone's sexual orientation, though. If a gay man told a straight man he was a woman to get him into bed, I'm pretty sure that would count as sexual assault - it certainly has in documented cases where a woman pretended to be a man to get another woman to sleep with her.

I wouldnt like to be a woman going on twitter saying that. They'd be labelled a TERF and there'd be a pile on.

Harassment is a crime. Any and all forms of crime ought to be reported and dealt with by law enforcement.

In this regard I note that Linehan has been the subject of a verbal warning from police regarding harassment of a trans individual.

The "harrassment" was referring to them by their former name which was already freely available in the public domain. This was after said person had published the name and address of linehans wife's business online in an attempt to incite people to harrass her. They were both as bad a each other in that situation but only one got a warning (as far as I know)

He's not the first person to be accused of transphobia by that person either, they even targeted a group of fellow transgender people. seems like they make a career of threatening and harrassing people.

So let me get this logic straight...

Graham Linehan asserting harassment of his family is absolutely credible and appalling.

Linehan receiving a warning from the police about his own harassment of a trans individual is a fraud.

Pathetic.

No. I've since added that they were both as bad as each other. Seems ridiculous for the police to get involved in what is basically a Twitter spat. And why only linehan when the other person published his families private details first?

Can I ask though, how do you know she still had male parts? Maybe she hadn't?

Ah, you see you're hitting on a crux of it now. It would be advisable for a trans person to be upfront with any sexual partners, yes. Too many homophobes out there who would lose the head and get violent.
But what constitutes fully informed consent? I think the disclosure of any material fact that could be hazardous to your partner's health would be an obvious. What else? Criminal records? Previous but cured STDs? Previous sexual partners? Previous homosexual encounters? How far does informed consent have to go? What's the benchmark, and does someone's trans status count? And if yes, why?
I'd personally be more concerned if a girl's Dad was a convicted crime boss than if she was trans. Shiuld she be obliged to reveal this information up front?
Where does informed consent end?

These are slight deviations though. They are people actually pretending to be someone else. There's an intent to deceive. The same intent cannot be said to exist if one person is trans.

Actually self identification, as an example, affects all biological women, as did the abortion laws. Linehan has the same relationship to biological women in both cases, father, son, husband, possibly brother.

And that’s where graham waded in - he accepts that gender dysphoria exists but opposes some of the ideas like self identification (which hurts women) and hormone treatment for children etc.

It's really quite funny to see the irony here - what we actually have is a pile of people rushing to be offended by people who wear different clothes, using a tiny number of extremely unusual international cases as justification, while they ignore the sound track record of self-identification here in Ireland, and the very real dangers to women coming from other sources, but they don't matter much apparently.

How has self-identification hurt women in Ireland in the two years since it happened here?

Not quite 'nothing happened' - he was explicitly warned by the police to stop contacting a particular person.

Standing in a garage doesn’t make you a mechanic.

As I said, anyone can feel as they choose but feeling like a woman does not a biological woman make, or vice versa.

As I stated in my first post, I have no issue with trans people who feel they were born in the wrong body. Their bodies are their own to do with as they please. My point it not everyone has to be complicit in their feelings. Whether a trans woman feels like a woman or not she will never actually be one. However I don’t in any way shape or form deny her the right to live as a woman if she so pleases.

Presumably because heterosexual men like to have sex with actual women who have always been women and not with men who believe themselves to be women.

Obviously I can’t speak for heterosexual men but I’d imagine that may be their thinking.

Nope, I'm a woman and I put no initials or anything else before what I am either.

As is a transsexual woman. She's a woman, what's the difference?

And believe me I know from experience men don't give two fcuks as long as there's a vagina involved.

I defy any man to tell me different.

Most single heterosexual men wouldn't have a problem with the above.
The post you were referring to was about a transexual though, not a woman, and I would imagine many if not most heterosexual men would balk at that.

Alright, maybe I need simple language for you so, a transsexual woman who has had the operation is a WOMAN so why would any man balk at that?
