Who Are These Abusers?

OK so we know that less than 1% of people are TG, right? so who is spending all their time scanning the airwaves for even the slightest dissent on the "prescribed" view on the subject? An MP is subjected to abuse and threats and sacked for merely stating "women are adult human females" - gawd, they've made me side with an SNP MP!

Putting the fact that most of the SNP are complete roasters to one side, this is welcome diversion from Eckgate for the First Miniature and her beau.

From what i can gather ,i believe Ms Cherry is one of those neanderthaals who believe that transgender males who identify as females are not females at all.She wants all these oppressed transgender males/females banned from womens toilets and womens changing rooms.Reactionary b*tch.

It would appear that the thrust of 'abuse' occurs via social media, which we all know is the platform of choice for the intellectual pygmies who are unfortunately afforded a voice they neither need or deserve, through which to peddle their ill-conceived un-thought-through ignorant numpty nonsense to an utterly indifferent wider world.

Giving such people publicity merely fans the flames, and while I would never for one moment condone the abuse of any individual for any reason through trolling, someone who has the character and fortitude to fight and win an election seat, needs to demonstrate similar determination not to entertain the ramblings of immature keyboard twonks, and not to draw attention to them, which simply makes them worse.

Goodness I must be a neanderthal.

Should people who are transphobic not be outed Andy?Very non-PC not calling them out.

I have just re-read my post, and I have not managed to locate any inference, direct or indirect, that says that transphobic people should not be exposed.

It is my view that they should be exposed, but that is not what my post was about, which is why that point was not included in it.

If you think about it, the option for transgender males to identify as females is surely a decision for them individually, rather than you making a negative blanket assessment about complete strangers, who are not impacting your life in any way shape or form.

Hi Andy, if a bloke in a frock goes into a ladies changing room when my daughters were in there I would be horrified.

@16.04.Yes you are a reactionary fascist,Sparkly.Write out a hundred lines-"Alpha males who identify themselves as females are definitely,definitely,definitely females".Off you go now.

That is an individual circumstance which directly affects people close to you - that's a long way from sitting at your computer pronouncing on the rights of an anonymous and unknown group of people to identify themselves as they wish - don't you think?

As a normal male I can most definitely assure you I have no female bits.

I just get sick and tired of this stupid idea that you can pretend to be that which you are not.

Sparkly could write it out a hundred times, but what would be the point?

A statement that is fundamentally incorrect is still incorrect, whether it is written out once, as you have done, or a hundred times, as you have advised Sparkly to do.

People can, and do pretend to be something they are not every minute of every day, on various levels, and in various circumstances.

It's just part of the human condition, and really not something to get worked up about.

Donald Trump pretended to be president - but the world still turns ...

I wish i could get rid of my sarcastic gene.What is it they say about sarcasm?

'They' say it's the lowest form of wit, but while 'they' were about it, they could have added that, unless it is absolutely clear that sarcasm is intended, then written sarcasm is easily missed, and misunderstood, and that is one of the drawbacks of posting on the internet.

what a pity this isnt about that awful flesh creeper alex salmond and his appearance at some scots kangaroo court

er or non appearance

oh and before someone asks - the publication by the kangaroo court I think carries some immunity from civil claim for defamation

// Donald Trump pretended to be president //

actually he was president - which is what was scary as he had the power to take his country to the brink of war. what he pretended to be (I think) was a statesman.
