So-called 'trans allies' certainly love the T-word

Broadcaster Sam Dowler has become the latest celebrity to bully other people because they understand that men aren’t women - only for it to become apparent that they’re yet another example of someone who has used virulently transphobic language themselves.

Dowler sent this pompous message to Jonathan Ross because he congratulated Maya Forstater on her Employment Tribunal victory. Dowler stated that believing that it’s not possible to change sex ‘negates the entirety of the trans community’.

It then transpired that Dowler has a history of mocking the ‘trans community’ online.

Dowler is, of course, not the first person to do this.

Last year the novelist and broadcaster Damian Barr successfully led a campaign to have Baroness Nicholson removed as honorary vice-president of the Booker Prize, after she hurt the feelings of trans-identified male, Munroe Bergdorf. It then emerged that Barr had posted several tweets mocking trans people.

Also last year, comedian Frankie Boyle said of Ricky Gervais: “I saw his routine about trans people [Caitlyn Jenner], and I thought it was very lazy. I would like him to have the same respect for trans people that he seems to have for animals. I think that's not a lot to ask."

But Gervais has never tweeted anything like this.

Then there was Liam McClelland. He called the police in 2018 because women were distributing leaflets about women’s rights amid the trans debate outside a Green Party conference. Here are some of his historical tweets.

You never see gender critical people using this word. But for some reason, the vociferous, pompous, virtue-signalling pronoun wankers on Twitter just love it. Funny old world, innit?

UPDATE: Another one!
