The behaviour of these men is utterly disgusting and someone needs to take action. It is an offence to incite violence. Why don't they realise that? And why aren't the police knocking their doors to "check [their] thinking"? (I know the answer to the second question, sadly.)
Exactly my thoughts Dave. The authorities have very much taken sides considering women can be charged with hate speech for stating the blindingly obvious, while some men can actually threaten violence and use slurs but no action is taken.
You’ll be shocked to hear that Jack Webster had previously used the T word. Like most of the other men delighted they can now be openly woman-hating under the guise of “trans rights” have.
So according to Jack Duncan, if Duffield would simply change her opinions, he and his cohorts would stop threatening to harm her? Oh okay, no problem. Or maybe they could not threaten to harm? Nope-that would be too reasonable.
Also, where are these 'surging hate crimes' that Owen Jones is so concerned about? Owen, point to the crimes please. And no, misgendering and incorrect pronoun use don't constitute hate crimes. Actual crimes please. 🙄
"The difference is she can simply choose to stop being ignorant, while LGBTQ can't stop existing."
Dear Jack, you poor mixed up and deluded soul. She is not being ignorant but many of these queer tourists literally can stop being LGBTQ and co-opting gay spaces and groups. Your reality is all upside down.
Rosie Duffield and the other women are incredibly brave and I stand with them.

I've got two of these lovely T-shirts - I'll be wearing them at the Labour and Tory party conferences. I hope other people will join me in standing up for sanity, free speech and women's rights.
Numb with disbelief at the extremist, and wholly dishonest, position that these people take, and at the same time their statements are always shot through with a bizarre tone of righteous indignation. Praying indeed that the dam will burst!
trans are leaving labour? I'm sure far more women are leaving but if the labour party wants to hold on to this small number of niche perverts rather than 50% of the population, good luck to them.
I did ask him for numbers seeing as how he’s on the NEC and likes to brag about how he’s privy to inside information... but he’s not been forthcoming yet. I wonder why...?
Because Twitter is a misogynist shit pit which is full of paedophiles and men abusing women. It's perfectly normal to see much worse abuse against women on Twitter.
When it comes to politics, they literally have two sets of rules. It's how Donald Trump got away with it for years. Their get out of jail free card is if they think hatred and abuse by a politician is in the public interest they will allow it to stay.
So I daresay they have no issue the likes of Webster abusing women either.
I see that for the moment he has deleted his account. However, don't forget you can reactivate your account for 30 days, so he will probably just wait a week or two then reappear.
Yes ,I've never got into social media at all but I watch a lot of YouTube videos on this subject and almost everyone on there agrees that Twitter is a sewer !! So glad I've never joined it but no doubt if I had I'd have been banned for life just for telling the truth . Can't stand lies and this is even worse than Trump's big lie !
Peaked a friend of mine a few weeks ago. She met up with some of her friends from Isle of Man recently (one in 50s one in 20s, both women) and asked what they thought. They were fine with it, thought she was exaggerating. When she asked if they thought it was OK for fully intact violent male offenders to be imprisoned with women, they said that wouldn't happen and more or less accused her of being a bigot. Despite Justin Webb and Andrew Marr getting Ed Davey to say the quiet part out loud, we've still got a long way to go because many people still have no clue what is actually going on.
This is what happens to me when ever I try to discuss it with anyone. And then I find it hard to stay calm because it's like why would I be lying? You know me to be a rationale and compassionate person. And they say things like where's the evidence so I send them evidence, but that never seems to work to get them interested. It feels like people have to get there in their own time, and they have to discover the evidence for themselves to believe it? I just don't understand why people aren't piqued to want to find out more for themselves? Why do some of us have this NEED to understand it? I don't know, I'm feeling a bit disspirited at the moment.
No evidence will work when people's identities are so tied up with this belief or that belief. A small analogy is liking/not liking a restaurant, a book, a movie, that another person doesn't like/does like. I have found many people find it offensive if you don't totally agree with them about everything. Pathetic humans.
I see that for the moment the cowardly Webster has deleted his account.
However, don't forget you can reactivate your account for 30 days, so he will probably just wait a week or two (or a day or two) then reappear. He probably has multiple socks anyway, trolling misogynists generally do.
Thank you for calling out these men (named) on this. Their aggression is extremely intimidating. I’ve known one of them for decades but he’s blocked me.
This just goes to prove yet again ,not that there was ever any doubt ,that we're on the right side of history . Every single pervert and predator in the world ( mostly men ,with apologies to Graham and all other decent men ) is on the other side of this debate and they must really hate women !! So shameful ,and even as reports of sexual assaults ,including rape , by " transwomen " in women's female only spaces ,prisons etc ( especially in the USA & Canada ) ,abound ,governments continue to turn a blind eye and the Scottish government shows no sign of abandoning self ID !! Don't know what it will take to wake them up from sleepwalking more !
Those who are pushing this agenda are not sleepwalking. It's deliberate. Yes, they either hate or are indifferent to women. They're suckling at the lucrative trans teat, and have decided that the safety, dignity and human rights of women don't matter.
Great piece, Graham, it really is powerful.
The behaviour of these men is utterly disgusting and someone needs to take action. It is an offence to incite violence. Why don't they realise that? And why aren't the police knocking their doors to "check [their] thinking"? (I know the answer to the second question, sadly.)
Exactly my thoughts Dave. The authorities have very much taken sides considering women can be charged with hate speech for stating the blindingly obvious, while some men can actually threaten violence and use slurs but no action is taken.
That Jack Duncan tweet is horrific.
Basically, if she has an opinion that results in violent threats she should stop having such opinions and bow down to violent intimidation.
The grotesque misogyny of it is unsurprising, that people don't see it is astonishing and terrifying.
They do see it. Some of them don't care, some enjoy it.
You’ll be shocked to hear that Jack Webster had previously used the T word. Like most of the other men delighted they can now be openly woman-hating under the guise of “trans rights” have.

I asked about 6 times on the thread … still no reply.
I asked somebody 3 times yesterday on The Indepentant boards for evidence re their "violent hate crimes" shite . No reply .
Oh the irony!
"The difference is she can simply choose to stop being ignorant, while LGBTQ can't stop existing."

Good for her!
GREAT !! I wear mine regularly !
Me too I also wear I love JkRowling an #nothankyou
Julia has been outspoken for some time so I dare say she's been hassled for it. I truly admire her.
Numb with disbelief at the extremist, and wholly dishonest, position that these people take, and at the same time their statements are always shot through with a bizarre tone of righteous indignation. Praying indeed that the dam will burst!
I wish I were numb with disbelief. Passed that point about 5 years ago around the time someone first said men were women.
Well, the first time I heard it at any rate.
Plus this from Momentum backed Labour Party NEC member Mish Rahman-
“Trans siblings need protection from Duffield and her views on this website - which actually terrorise trans people.
Many trans members have left @UKLabour and continue to do so because of her as well as her own staff leaving their jobs because of her.”
He is also the chair of my CLP. I’m disgusted with him as is my husband.
trans are leaving labour? I'm sure far more women are leaving but if the labour party wants to hold on to this small number of niche perverts rather than 50% of the population, good luck to them.
I did ask him for numbers seeing as how he’s on the NEC and likes to brag about how he’s privy to inside information... but he’s not been forthcoming yet. I wonder why...?
How on earth do these idiots get through the day if they are 'terrorised by Rosie Duffield's speech & actions? They are beyond belief.
Rosie Duffield cannot attend the conference because of threats to her and that shower are appropriating victimhood. It makes my blood boil.
The whole lot of those men reek of beta, insecure little men...cowards all of them.
Yes, sad, lonely sacks
How can Jack Webster write this and not be reported?
Because Twitter is a misogynist shit pit which is full of paedophiles and men abusing women. It's perfectly normal to see much worse abuse against women on Twitter.
When it comes to politics, they literally have two sets of rules. It's how Donald Trump got away with it for years. Their get out of jail free card is if they think hatred and abuse by a politician is in the public interest they will allow it to stay.

Twitter is a misogynist shit pit full of pedophiles and abusive males: absolutely spot on!
I know, FB removed a comment of mine for writing 'twat'. I guess as long as women are targeted it's ok

We should just start referring to the tqia+ and leave the lgb outof it.
Damn this tqia+ movement!
Actually not sure whats wrong with being aesexual and intersex people are more victims of T than anything...
