Hi @RosieDuffield1 and @BevJacksonAuth, Kurtis Tripp (LGL USA) has said "stop lying about your sex to trick men and get laid, you disgusting rapist" about a trans woman.
The dangerous gender critical campaign to associate trans people with rape has to stop. 1/
Please use your influence in the GC movement to stop this.
Or, at least, make a statement to the fact that you regret liking and promoting other tweets by Kurtis Tripp in light of his recent grossly transphobic statements, and encourage others not to associate with him. 2/
A movement that is rooted in love for Magdalen Berns, who called trans women "blackface actors", inexorably led to people openly calling trans people perverts, pedophiles and rapists. It's hugely dangerous for the safety and welfare of trans people in the UK. It has to stop. 3/
Surely the gender critical movement must be able to voice their concerns about trans rights without associating with people who directly refer to trans women as rapists?
This is clearly and unequivocally transphobic hate speech, that seeks to harm trans people. 4/4
P.S. Here's Katy talking about it.
Please do something. When the legacy of the GC movement is written it won't look kindly on those who turned a blind eye to/associated with GC people who called trans women "disgusting rapists" because they are trans.
Here's a New Year's Resolution: next time trans people tell us that they're dealing with a transphobic hate cult of people who *obviously* don't want them to exist, we don't take five fucking years to believe them, okay? 1/
You can't take back explaining to trans people that your mate Graham Linehan isn't transphobic, actually.
You can't take back publishing articles by his allies arguing for watchful waiting, and talk therapy, which is *always* about stopping trans people existing as trans. 2/
You can't take back publishing letters by Linehan's mates in your paper calling trans women "porn-addled autogynophiles," effectively accusing them of sexual perversion for just existing. You see how that is an attempt to stop them existing at all, now, right? 3/
Two videos, one near the start of 2021, the other near the end, which neatly demonstrate how the UK anti-trans movement is going internally:
"All the people I've met in this, I consider my foxhole friends...you all just inspire the hell out of me." - Graham Linehan.
Yet... 1/
Just under a year later...
"...let's just win and then go our separate ways because there's absolutely no reason we need to be friends with each other or even associated with each other beyond this fight." - Graham Linehan
The "better friends" part of your life, eh? 2/
What's tragic is that this is the bit leading up to GL's first statement. They've duped people like this into thinking losing their actual friends is a *good* thing that should make them happy, and barely a year later Graham is saying that that "friendship" is temporary. 3/
In the following two clips, it's amazing to watch Graham Linehan and Arty Morty squirm as Helen deploys their own "weaponising suicide" argument against them, in relation to how annoyed she was to have to hear about Arty's trans friend who died.
CW: Discussion of suicide.
Arty responds saying he wasn't trying to weaponise suicide. His trans friend "literally died" and he was trying to stop it happening to someone else.
Helen responds by finding a way to switch the discussion to JK Rowling. Just incredible.
Also, in the first clip, note how Linehan tries to remonstrate with Helen by saying, "but, Helen, the difference is Arty did have a friend who (died by) suicide" and she has to point out to him, "And so do many of them!" Did he think trans people were actually lying about that?
I don't think the guy who was laughing it up with Graham Linehan - an incredibly angry man - in 2019, about inventing phrases like "the Woke Stasi" to describe people who support trans rights, is going to bring any introspection to the subject of online anger.
I would also add that the guy who has a history of blackface - albeit that he apologised of late - might not be the best guy to be given a TV show to discuss "angry" movements like BLM.
How many shows and articles by UK celebrity men past their peak are we going to get on this?
This is nothing but the establishment handing middle-aged men who could once do blackface on TV to slag off black footballers without consequence a platform to moan about the fact that they can't do that anymore without hearing from the people who are angry about that.
Might be worth revisiting this video from 2015 where Richard Dawkins hypotheses - admittedly, based on no evidence at all - that "modern" male homosexuality might be a result of bottle-feeding, whereas a breastfed baby wouldn't be homosexual.
I'm not joking.
The full video, where he also hypotheses that perhaps dominant males with harems who went hunting left behind "ostentatiously homosexual" males to guard the women, and that's how homosexuality escaped being "got rid of" by the evolutionary process?!
The video starts well, but once he starts offering wild ideas about how homosexuality survives the evolutionary process, it certainly doesn't "refresh my mind with science." It gives you the idea of a man stabbing the dark, when the best answer is, "I don't know, but it did."
Graham Linehan's YouTube co-host got drunk and told the truth on Twitter.
A lot of Rad Fems want trans people to die.("AGP" is what Arty calls most trans women, and it's a way of slurring trans women as perverts who transition for sexual reasons.)
Imagine being Graham Linehan's co-host and having the gall to write the last sentence here.
They provide these people with an hour-long weekly hate, and now he's getting squeamish about the hatred they create?
You know that in the wee drunken hours a lot of "gender critical" people grapple with the fact that they might actually be in a hate movement, but are faced with the sunk cost fallacy.
He realises that he cannot criticise the "angry assholes" because they will turn on him.
