Is David Tennant The Problem?

[naomi24]

//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.

In fact, the whole article is well worth reading, - quite thought provoking, particularly if you have children or grand children;

"So the so-called "transing up" isn't any kind of child abuse as hinted at in previous posts here"
 

exactly mozz. furthermore imagine how a normal parent would feel if a politician like badenoch goes around insinuating that your kid is an experiment or a product of ideology or whatever. i would suggest that saying she should shut up is quite a restrained response... i would tell her to eff off. 
 

it is far more normal to love your children than it is to hate other peoples' children

How come the racist card was never played? Is it because she is the 'wrong' kind of black person?

I've only just read Mrs Badenoch's rather magnificent respnse:

‘I will not shut up. I will not be silenced by men who prioritise applause from Stonewall over the safety of women and girls. A rich, lefty, white male celebrity so blinded by ideology he can’t see the optics of attacking the only black woman in government by calling publicly for my existence to end. Tennant is one of Labour’s celebrity supporters. This is an early example of what life will be like if they win. Keir Starmer stood by while Rosie Duffield was hounded. He and his supporters will do the same with the country. Do not let the bigots and bullies win.’
