Brit Awards triggers twitterati

[NotAllThere]

Adele said “I understand why this has changed, but I really love being a woman and a female artist. I’m really proud of us." According to Puumph! on Twitter, this is a "call for the destruction of the trans community. Especially the confused teenagers. ”

Say whut?

“Whаt’s аbsurd is thаt you’re picking аnd choosing Adele’s words аbout herself to the point of аbsurdity.” Why cаn trаns people choose from hundreds of lаbels аnd be proud of themselves, but we women cаn’t? One Twitter user sаid, “Double stаndаrds.” “According to trаns rights аctivists, Adele murdered millions of trаns men аnd women tonight by referring to herself аs а Womаn аnd Femаle without mentioning them. Trаns rights аre no longer аvаilаble. Another wrote, “You won’t be missed…”

I can live with "Adele" being "cancelled".

FFS. I'm not a huge fan of Adele but she said nothing wrong. So women are no longer allowed to be proud to be women and be proud of what women can and do achieve.

There is a very nasty element to the trans community who seem hell bent on ensuring everyone hates them so they can claim discrimination.

Interesting point on one of the twitter replies 'and it shows they know “trans women” aren’t women at all.'

So trans women want to be seen as a woman but when they are and say they are proud to be a woman they'll get cancelled as well?

Interesting twist.

This whole thing was in reference to the fact they removed separate male/female categories, so was in support of that... how you read it as anti-trans is just daft. Good free publicity I suppose.

I've no problem with trans people. All the ones I've met have seemed to be fairly decent people, and don't take offence if I use the "wrong" pronoun when they know you're trying to be courteous. I'm not anti trans. I'm anti-transactivists. Just a bunch of men telling women what to do. Typical misogynists. Make the worst of CUK look like gentlemen.

They do say nobody is as zealous as the newly converted, whether that's religion, a Californian moving to Idaho then ranting about how many out of staters are moving in, or an ex-smoker. Maybe the same applies here.

Dave is very good. Just saying.

Yes, I think a good many TSs, too many even if not all, are obnoxiously censorious and defensive.
