I really liked it. I think you sometimes must get tired of answering really narrow questions on this subject. (When you are allowed to speak at all!) Especially given you’ve become rather an expert.
Andrew asked a bigger range, talking about the affect of this garbage on comedy etc. it was refreshing. Seeing James and Rosie later give their stories on the impact of this on art.
Never give up. You made me a TERF. Just by presenting info and discussing the issues (around 5 years ago now). I could not believe what I was reading.
Until now, I still can’t.
But, I tell you what, my eyes were opened, never to be closed, on the dangers of left/right tribalism. I was always so convinced bring a lefty made me a goody. Now, I consider the issues individually.
Look at this nonsensical MoveOn petition! Where the mandated use of school toilets according to biological sex, and not allowing social 'transitioning' in schools without parental knowledge, is described as "actively terrorizing marginalized communities like the queer community and queer students". Terrorizing. Can you believe the concussing hyperbolic spin? And of course, all this opposition to 'gender' nonsense is attributed to the scary right wing. Couldn't possibly be opposition by regular measured people, could it now?
Absolutely crazy. They are using right wingers to manipulate and I'm beyond tired of it. Even Mr UK Drag Queen does this and his fans fall for it. Idiots. Why are people so gullible? Seriously, right wingers turned up and protested DQSH but since when do we hear a peep from them? I'm not even aware of their political influence (I'm not saying there is none, not at all) but I'm VERY aware of the political influence of the hard left. Pretending protests are pure homophobia is so stupid. If a gay author turned up in jeans and a t-shirt to read a kid to book, no way they'd have turned up. Perhaps it's because the entertainer is a toxic biology-denying, child-transition-supporting, age-inappropriate drag act, to name but a few. Just a thought.
No matter how many signatures, it's not going to work. Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin was elected to a Democratic safe seat precisely for his stand against wokism particularly in the wake that school assault scandal in Loudoun county which happened shortly before the election. Democrats have no idea how their lunacy drives people to the GOP.
Fantastic point about being driven by the Twitter trends. We were led to think of social 'meeja' as reflecting society, not influencing policy, governance, education and wider culture. How naive were we? A huge number of folk don't use social media in any way so this bizarre and damaging fashion/ideology, as you say, is driven by a really small number of people, many of whom are bored kids or online weirdos. This is all new and it's down to the internet.
It's truly shocking that we've allowed this guff into our everyday lives and have found our fairness and tolerance abused in this way. How can such a small, ignorant and needy bunch of cultists have obtained such a degree of power to the extent that they feel entitled to change the way we use language and seek to wipe out whole categories of other folk? This online takeover worked well for them so they have tried to mirror it everywhere...a little group of daft oddballs decide they dislike hearing the views of a Professor...so the institution bins the academic. It's the opposite of democracy and it's sending our society into reverse. I think this fast reversal is unique in history.
As you said, we just need to start to say no. To reject terms like cis. To point out when the legislation is being misrepresented. To refuse to spend hard-earned cash on events and in businesses that promote this ideology. We shouldn't feel guilty, because they want us to feel that way. And there are so many of us.
Except those invitees listed, particularly those who would describe themselves as 'gender critical', including yourself, Graham, Helen Joyce, Maya Forstater, Julie Bindel are known for their commitment to the maintenance of children's safeguarding and the protection of women-and-girls single-sex spaces, together with their opposition to paedophiles and paedophile apologists.
So perhaps Frances didn't quite think things through. Again.
Brilliant,.Graham. Already saw this on YouTube but watched it again . You're a very good interviewee and you stick very firmly to your guns ,even if the interviewer is hostile like the BBC ! You state your case very articulately and keep your cool as well.👍👏Well done❤️
The producers of film and TV have been overtaken by ideology, progressivism is an evangelical religion that cannot just be adhered to but it must be preached. Corporations with CEOs who lose billions and say they'd do the woke things all over again are proof that the ideology has now trumped profits, and the universities have successfully sent their warriors out into the world to take over these positions.
Shame is a powerful tool and progressives wield it effectively, as they control all institutions that matter in this day and age. If you're not servicing the narrative then you are the enemy. It's why they hate Chris Pratt, because he does not preach their faith so they label him the enemy even though he probably just wants to be left alone.
Well , they've got more enemies than they realise. Most people , the ones whose brains still work , aren't buying ANY of their BS ,and any sympathy I had for any of these chancers died a long time ago. Transsexual people in the past didn't make any of these demands or encroach on the rights and safety of anyone else ,far less promote sexualisation and mutilation of children.
Not one bloody mention of 'girl dick' in the demise of lesbian spaces. How dishonest can you get? Lies of omisson. Endless lies of commission and omission.
Great from Mr Menno, thanks! Potent mix of darkly funny clips and sincere anger. Especially his genuine grief toward the end at what's being done to maim the young. WHY CAN'T MORE PEOPLE SEE and FEEL THIS? Sharing MrM's video would help! I hope it gets lots of views and that Norton or some of his acolytes see it.
Great! Point by point by point.

It was just fabulous!
An insightful excellent interview loved it! Nice to see you are getting some media interested at last
Brilliant interview. You looked like you enjoyed it too Graham.
Glad it went well, you deserve some positive press!

I have flagged it up for Child Abuse, which it is of course.

There's a new whistle blower on the block, it just doesn't stop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcfxiASvLbI&t=0s&ab_channel=theradicalcenter
As always, a masterful interview. Thank you Graham.
Really enjoyed that Graham!

Leading TRA/incel apologist and Mermaids supporter Frances Coppola was invited. Dunno if she turned-up, but she complained that she didn't agree with any of the invitees on a published listing for the event at https://twitter.com/Frances_Coppola/status/1581179066287157248?cxt=HHwWgMCjxff-vPErAAAA

Omg Coppola's actual tweet was
'I don't agree with anyone on this list except Frances Coppola. 🤪'
You were rather kind, I think.

It was also great to see the luminaries in the audience!

Great interview. I also particularly liked the second question from the man who identifies as 'a leaf'
because it shows how that crap is actually unpopular.
Mr Menno's new video is also a good riposte to Norton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZCQLSp28tI&lc=Ugzqtr4TE1K3PiRn1t54AaABAg.9hPAo-sQhp89hPD2puvx50&ab_channel=mrmenno

Good idea, I'll share it on my FB too.
He needs a much greater platform than he has.
Yes, especially for this one, it's really potent and covers a lot.
Great. I'm not on FB but recommended it on another site.
