    Graham Linehan harassing women again. If you believe the spin and lies above all the nasty stuff is one sided.

    https://metro.co.uk/2021/02/23/graham-linehan-joins-queer-womens-dating-app-her-stunt-14130662/

    He seems to have too much time on his hands.

    Hey, I've some similar beliefs to Linehan in that I don't accept that trans women = women but fcuked if I'd go to the lengths he went to to protest.

    I wouldn't actually bother protest at all apart from maybe a few negative comments here.

    A group of parents who formed UK Transgender Alliance in 2020 and who have 266 followers on Twitter...
    Well we are 4 parents of trans children aged between 6 and 14 two boys and two girls, don’t know anything about web design – but a very kind Lady gave us;

    a donation of £10k
    Fully secure enterprise class server
    Unlimited storage space
    Firewall & SSL
    On 1gb connection
    Unmetered bandwidth
    So we’ve got a site and time to build on it.

    All our posts will get posted to @twitter

    https://www.uktransalliance.info/anti-terf/start-here/


    ...have recently made their Twitter page private because someone screen shot a tweet they made on the 10th of February 2021 and people began to report it. The group's twitter page is still there so I suppose groups making full on death threats are not subject to banning on Twitter.

    This isnt protest ffs its harassment

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Cool

    Lets make this into a back and forth list of every single nasty comment on the internet. At the least the lies above about it all being one sided will be exposed.

    That is not a nasty comment. That is a call to kill ''Terfs'', proof yet again that the word (often used here, against people like me) is a loaded slur and a hate denominator.
    As for Graham Linehan he is an utter silly billy who says very unpleasant things and often seems to act out in ways that are distasteful and insupportable.
    I do not have to defend him, as I could not care less about him.
    I do also think that lesbians as adult human females who like other adult human females deserve their own sex-based spaces.
    These various thoughts can all co-exist in my mind without my brain imploding. It's amazing. :)

    No he's not


    be serious for a second. I’m not JUST doing this for the laugh. I’m doing this to demonstrate that it’s impossible to tell the difference between men and self-identifying “transwomen”. I’m doing it to expose an ideology that is homophobic, misogynistic and puts women and girls in danger.

  • Registered Users Posts: 654 ✭✭✭ingalway


    Not sure why its universally accepted that gay and lesbian people are born that way, but for a lot of people they can't seem to understand that the same is true for transgender people.

    You cannot just be convinced to become trans. That isn't happening and anyone suggesting it, including yourself, is doing so for reasons that are at best out of ignorance but at worst out of maliciousness.



    What is the point in lying like this? I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but this is so obviously a fabrication.
    Oh no, you caught me out! Of all the lies I could come out with I thought this was my very best but not good enough to get past you eh?
    Will I just ban myself or would you prefer to report it yourself?

    Sorry

    No putting womens pictures up is very clearly harassing them. You really cant defend this abusive behaviour with a straight face while lecturing me about homophobia and mysogyny.

    No putting.

    Trans women and he's pointing out something very obvious ,
    I know it's might be hard to grasp for some people ,but it he self identifies as a woman he must then be considered a woman and is entitled to use the dating app like anyone else who self identifies


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,023 ✭✭✭Gruffalux

    Please do. I have yet to see one. I am completely happy and even very eager to loudly condemn anyone who would post in public or private that trans people should be killed. That would be absolutely vile and disgusting, and a hate crime that should attract punishment, in my opinion.

    I presume you feel the same way about people posting publicly that people of the Terven tribe should be killed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    Wasn't it the lenihan chap who previously brought up the topic of grooming before it was made a dirty word


  • Registered Users Posts: 374 ✭✭Gentlemanne


    I'd advise not doing apologetics for Glinner. If you're defending this most recent spat of harassment in any capacity, it shows you're alright with the discourse being reduced to childish mockery and hurtful bullying.

    Well I'm sure that there's no forum rules about making up anecdotes but I am also "in Galway" and I know trans people here. They'd find it so absurd, like a "and then everyone clapped" type scenario.

    I shouldn't be surprised though, the level of knowledge some posters have about actual trans people and their lives seems to be very low. Seems to be that only a very filtered and biased type of information seems to be propagating and a lot is from bad faith actors who want to make a specific generalisation of trans people.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 110 ✭✭Cestmoi 111


    There’s also the increasing phenomenon of whole friend groups of female teens coming out as trans. Definite element of social contagion.

    You better tell this info to Andrea Long Chu, a lauded trans woman writer, who was credited by the founder of gender studies, Sandy Stone, with starting the second wave of trans.
    Look them up.
    Andrea has published that sissy porn made them trans. This must be awkward coming from a leading writer on the subject. They need to be corrected.

    https://as.nyu.edu/complit/people/graduate-students/chu-andrea-long.html

    Chu is far from alone on that. That sissy porn must be crazy stuff.
    And while it is a serious issue, part of me can’t help but be amused that men can watch so much porn it can break their brains, mad!!

    That's right, he IS the chap who tried to re-use the historical strategy of associating a gender/sexual minority with pedophilia. There used to be, and to some extend there still is, bigots who try to say that homosexuals are pedophiles and are grooming children, but that's just a thinly veiled excuse to be homophobic.

    It was bull**** then and it's bull**** now. As far as bigotry goes, they're just playing the hits.

    For a comedy writer, he's not very creative, is he?

    Even worse for young lesbians. Huge increase in young girls taking testosterone, binding or having a double mastectomy. I was told by a TRA lesbian recently the young girls won't even use the word lesbian as it's transphobic. Many of these girls are just what would have been called
    "young butches" but of course that's transphobic now as well. There are already people who are detransitioning, they have terrible physical and mental health issues to deal with. I believe there will be many more in the coming years.

    Not to mention the fact that many teenagers experience same-sex attraction, even though they may later decide that they are not actually gay or bi. Other teens who will eventually identify as gay, lesbian, or bi do not necessarily do so as adolescents. But in today's world, teens may jump — or, increasingly, be pushed — to the conclusion that just because they're (perhaps temporarily) attracted to another woman/man, especially if they're a somewhat tomboyish girl or a somewhat effeminate man, that they might be "trans." They may then be steered toward puberty blockers, irreversible surgeries, etc., before they have matured enough to make informed, considered decisions. It's tragic to see people steered down this course and then forced to "detransition" when they should have been left alone in the first place.

    .we can't someone complained about how grooming could only be associated with Child abuse despite no one saying or even suggesting it ,
    We even have laws to protect people being groomed for criminal and drug gangs

    Really shows that all the hate and abuse is supposedly 1 sided is lies.

    He didn't steal anything pictures were posted to public profiles on a dating app ,

    I found two pictures one was himself with some make up on saying he identified as Lesbian as any man now can and another picture of a man with a hipster beard who identifies as a lesbian .
    He's a man who self identifies as a gay woman ,he's not a lesbian he's a heterosexual male looking for a woman for sex ,

    What a crook of ****e, seriously have we not learned anything ??????????


    How many gay/lesbian/Transgender people have grown up under the impression they have to be straight or what ever gender they are born because of the way they are raised and because of the pressure of society to be a certain way , Are you trying to say that never happened ????????????


    Of course it did but wait..... what it could never happen in the opposite way ?


    Parents of feminine boys & young feminine boys are under that same pressures now from certain parts of society ,
    Like the people before them its only when they grow older and wiser they understand who they really are but unfortunately unlike the people before the way the world is going it may be to late for them depending on far they have gone ,




    Again I don't care what you do but it's extremely foolish to think something that has happened before can not happened again
