Although I'm not keen on men identifying into womanhood, I'm more upset at the timing with the Guardian editors. How fucking tone-deaf do you have to be to not see the crassness of putting those stories on the same page. And in the week of IWD to boot. Just fuck right off, you wankers.

They really hate us don't they? I fear for our daughters

Unsubscribed from the Guardian when they called young female athletes challenging males in their sports ‘non-transgender girls’. That felt like trolling too. They’re now trolling us from the front page. I hope they get bad publicity for that horrendous juxtaposition. Seen disgust on Twitter but not sure if it’s just in my bubble.

I would expect nothing less from either the guardian or izzard. Koolaid by the gallon.

I just can't believe the utter lack empathy towards women from the Guardian. Who knew they would end up being one of the most misogynist News papers out there.

No doubt most reassuring for women that Eddie isn't trying to colonise their spaces & places.

No, really!

Currently on homepage of T"Gruan (screen grab: [img]https://i.ibb.co/Bnhk9yc/Screen-Shot-2021-03-12-at-13-30-43.png[/img]) Big E sez "I'm just trying to create a space for myself" so that's OK then.

Triple promotions to 'she' all round!

This nonsense, because that's what it is, has to cease. This man is as male as can be, from head to toe, with significant indicators in between to prove the case.

The link between these males ,many who use their trans ID to enter womens spaces, with negative intent to harm , is all about violent misogyny-- as for Izzard, he is one outstanding opportunistic male jumping on an ego bound grandstand . Born Male, always male. How bloody dare he!

Damn male!

Jesus H Christ!!! The Guardian is like those editions of Harry Potter that have a "serious" cover, so adults reading on the train don't look like they have just mugged some kid on the platform. In this case though it's just stealth Pink News.

Brilliant but horrifying expose of The Guardian and its tentacles deep into into Gender Woowoo territory by Gender Critical Woman:

Not a women to today or ever, fuck you Izzard. I’ll avoid everything in future from this wanker, and I used to be a fan, even went to his show, no more.

So having a 'Boob fetish' qualifies you as a Women these days! Unbelievable

This is outrageous. Absolutely horrendous. Shame on The Guardian.

The part that struck me was when Izzard (who I generally like, apart from on this issue) said that he would like to alternate between pronouns but wasn't allowed to: 'you can change your pronouns but you can’t use he and him as well. You’ve just got to be she and her from now on because we’ve only got so much time on our hands'.

But it's not about time is it.

TRAs who constantly bang on about spectrums and fluidity have imposed an inverted all-or-nothing binary system on people like Izzard because it would otherwise undermine their need to ostracise anyone who accidentally misgenders someone. We can't have that.

What in the name of christ does it mean to be promoted to she and what the hell is girl mode

The mindfuckingly awful placement of this on the front page isn't Izzard's fault. But don't worry! The article does a fine job of showcasing what an entitled, self-indulgent bellend he is:

I can't even work out which bit is the most infuriating because every single sentence is infuriating in a completely different way.

And look at the URL, fucking nora.
