Every word including “and” and “the”
The National (Scotland) publishes a sack of drivel by one Emma Grae about Graham Linehan the Heretic:
After I tweeted in defence of trans women following the jailing of convicted trans rapist Isla Byrson earlier this year, stating that painting all trans women with the same brush as her is equivalent comparing all cisgender women to Myra Hindley, he called me a “vichy feminist” and challenged me to name “a few more Myra Hindleys”.
What the hell is a trans rapist? Bryson is a real rapist. He’s a trans woman but he’s not a trans rapist. And that comparison is ridiculous. All women=half the people on the planet; all trans women=a tiny fraction of people on the planet.
Also it’s tarring with the same brush, not painting. Also it’s Bryson, not Byrson.
Also, it’s Vichy, not vichy. If you don’t know what Vichy was, ffs find out.
Looking back, his challenge is haunting in light of the recent conviction of Britain’s worst modern female serial killer, Lucy Letby – a cisgender woman. It certainly reflects the fact that it is wrong to suggest that trans and gender variant people are any more likely to commit heinous crimes than anyone else.
No it doesn’t. Why? Because it’s just one item. One is not enough to be statistically significant.
Glinner appears to be a man who wants to silence those who disagree with him, whether it’s by questioning their right to make a decision, name-calling, or simply by making his voice heard regardless.
Making his voice heard regardless is not silencing those who disagree with him. This piece is really dumb.
The fact that only 50 people turned up to his eventual gig outside the Scottish Parliament after a second venue cancelled the show once again shows that his views are not in line with the majority of Scottish people’s.
No it doesn’t. Canceling and changing venue is going to cut down on the audience with each tweak.
Although free speech is important, when it involves the targeted harassment of some of society’s most vulnerable people — in the last year alone, hate crimes against trans people doubled in England and Wales — restrictions have to be put in place.
Disputing trans ideology is not targeted harassment, and men who claim to be women are not some of society’s most vulnerable people.
What happened to quality control?
So, we’re making broad characterizations about views and movements based on the behaviour of supporters? I wanna play too! I think it’s telling that so many trans “rights” protests, or counterdemonstrations involve shouting down, intimidating, and assaulting women gathering to discuss and defend their rights. I think that is much more indicative of the tenor and ethos of trans activism than the numbers showing up for a cancelled and rescheduled comedy review show any lack of support for gender-critical belief, or just plain biological facts amongst the general population of Scotland. Tellme, just how many smoke bombs did Glinner and the other comics let off? Did they don masks and scream at any counter-protesters that showed up? Did they tell anyone to punch trans people in the fucking face? Did they knock down or slug anyone in the eye? Glass houses and stones Ms.Grae, glass houses and stones.
I’m curious: how often does a majority of Scottish people turn up to an event?
And I’m sure it’s been noted in the past. TiMs who fight to enter women’s spaces even when separate spaces are provided for them have already proven they have no respect for women’s boundaries. That makes them MORE suspect as being risky or a possible predator. Forcing yourself inside women’s spaces against their will is already a form of predation, and if it weren’t for that damn rainbow flag, people would notice it.
Not respecting women’s no = harm to women.
Oh yeah?
From 2 to 4? That’s “doubled.” What kind of numbers are you actually talking about?
And then again, how reliable are those numbers? It depends entirely on what you are counting as “hate crimes,” doesn’t it?
Putting up a sticker stating correct statistics for violence against women = “anti-trans hate crime”
Saying “rapist Adam Graham (Bryson) is a man” = “anti-trans hate crime”
Holding a lesbian speed dating meeting and asking that only females attend = ” anti-trans hate crime”
Attending a meeting to discuss women’s rights = “anti-trans hate crime”
Autistic child asking “are you a boy or a girl?” = “anti-trans hate crime”
A woman asking for intimate care to be given by a biological female health care provider = “anti-trans hate crime”
These instances are not hate, and they are not crimes. So, I’d like you to define your terms and give receipts on the “doubling” of “anti-trans hate crime” in “the last year alone.” I don’t believe you, because you lie so much of the time. The entire premise of transgenderism is a big fat lie.
In anticipation of the usual retort “but you used Isla Bryson similarly!”: Fine, dispense with the individuals. There is copious data from many nations showing female people to be less likely to commit crime than male people, especially sexual crime. By contrast, trans people show male patterns of criminality, including the heightened propensity to commit sexual crimes against women.
Apparently, no one is taking logical fallacy courses anymore because the editors should by now recognize the strawperson fallacy. Hint: we’re not saying that the problem is that they claim to be trans. These are men.
