Is David Tennant The Problem?
//Rishi Sunak has intervened in a deepening row between Kemi Badenoch and David Tennant over LGBTQ+ rights, appearing to brand the actor “the problem”.
The Doctor Who star said he wished the women and equalities minister would “shut up” and suggested he hoped for a world in which she “doesn’t exist anymore”, while she fired back that he was a “bigot”.
The prime minister waded in on the spat on Wednesday morning, writing on X, formerly Twitter: “Freedom of speech is the most powerful feature of our democracy. If you’re calling for women to shut up and wishing they didn’t exist, you are the problem.”//
Why should Kemi Badenoch and other women standing up for women's rights shut up? I used to like David Tennant.

He's in the entertainment industry so the odds were pretty high that he'd be woke. Experience suggests it tends to go together.
His unconsidered words were simply foolish, and given his earlier speech on love & tolerance, were hypocritical to boot. One hopes he regrets his comments now. He probably should've kept them for his mates down the pub, not use them in his capacity as celeb to preach to the world his mistaken view, and attack Kemi.
That stated, Kemi made a good, spirited response, which will probably earn her a few brownie points come the GE.
The problem with actors and sportspeople is they see themselves as important, mainly because that's how they're treated by the general public. Manufactures are to be blamed for a lot of it, Walkers crisps for example have just renamed their salt and vinegar crisps as salt and lineker. I'm looking into it to see if I can sue them under the trade description act. :o)
erm i would take jackthehat's penny dreadful tales with a pinch of salt. some people are trans and some know about it when they are very young. the rest really is between the parents, the young person, and their doctor.
it is far more normal to love your children (actually love them as they are) than it is to obsess in these deranged terms about cartoonish parodies of trans people. what exactly was badenoch expecting? If a politician comes out and insists that your child is an ideology or a project then the correct response is to tell them to shut up.
Short-term puberty-blockers for Precocious puberty are currently used, in the very short-term and to delay not prevent puberty.
They are not reversible.
The Cass Report has made it very difficult to get them for those under 16, but there is a ver scary and unsavoury black-market to ensure they can be found for those determined enough.
