That tweet about him having mates round was blatantly what he wished he was doing. No wonder that Storey nutter likes him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Renton 2,056 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 16 minutes ago, Tom said: The problem is he’s still an influential person, so like JK Rowling & Donald Trump their little tweets manifest themselves as physical violence for a lot of vulnerable people. Am i being whooshed here but are you seriously comparing JK Rowling with Trump? As for Fox, outside the twitterati, which is really quite a small sphere, he's an irrelevance. Do tweets really influence anyone anyway or do they just reinforce people's own confirmation bias? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,939 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 I think you are being wooshed. JK Rowling has 14 million twitter followers & her words are dangerous for the trans community who already have to put up with violence worldwide. She’s a cunt. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Renton 2,056 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 You think transgender people have been subjected to violence on the basis of her tweets? Tbh I'd prefer to stay clear of the whole subject as I'm not knowledgable about it but really don't have Rowling down as a figure of hatred in the way of Trump, Hopkins or Fox or any other number of right-wing nutters. You appear to set the definition bar of cunt quite low! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,939 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Absolutely, it’s not just her tweets but her essays and lectures on the subjects. Oh and that she’s wrote a book about a trans serial killer that some shops refuse to stock. For the past couple of years I’ve attended a Trans Day of Remembrance with a non binary friend and the violence they are subjected to is nightmarish. Over 400 were killed last year & over 300 the year before. It’s not a great leap to suggest that a hugely anti-trans influential person who weighs in on the subject has exacerbated things somewhat 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"Women are afraid of trans people, this is a serious issue I feel strongly about" followed by "here is my book which features a trans serial killer attacking women". Pathetic. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
