Why put that much effort into trying to destroy a minority who haven’t done anything to harm you. I don’t understand it.

Jim Davidson said Starmer was having a gay affair with Lord Alli and a big chunk of twitter believes him

I assumed Jim Davidson was dead, and this is a pretty rough way to find out he's not.

I believe the word you’re looking for is 

Does the female form make you uncomfortable, Mr. Renton? 

This has been an interesting and illuminating debate. Respect to Craig in particular for opening up and speaking freely about an issue he has been touched by.

 

Respect also to MF for this perfectly-timed post, lowering the tone beautifully, in his signature style, just as it was getting a bit heavy. 
 

I don’t really have anything to add other than to say my views are probably most aligned with Gemmill’s. It’s not a debate I feel qualified to join. I know some trans people and they’re all great. People are people and they’re not defined by their gender identity anymore than their race or sexual preference. Good lads/lasses and dickheads come in all shapes and sizes. 
 

I have observed the bile that some of the more extreme trans activists have thrown at people that disagree with their worldview on social media but it’s also fair to say it isn’t one-way traffic. There are obnoxious people on both sides of the debate. But it’s a debate I’m staying out of.

Same. 
 

I know a couple of trans folk who are the same lovely people now that they were pre-transition. 
 

It’s a very small minority debate that has been amplified through social media and cunts looking for something to hate. 
 

I genuinely don’t give a shit what people want to refer to themselves as, or be known as- crack on, it does no harm to anyone. 
 

It’s a genuine shame for the people this directly affects that the debate has been taken over by the extremes of both sides-if any issue deserves nuance, this one does.
