Brit Awards triggers twitterati

Today they are demanding that any watchdog/impartial group who doesn't immediately and completely embrace their agenda be discredited https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-60331962

Stonewall really are an unpleasant bunch - reminds one of a hardline trade union - though they were militant even when it was LGB rather than LGBT so we can't blame trans people for Stonewall.

You'll note that some of the founders of Stonewall consider the organisation now to be beyond the pale.

Nail on head, it's the vocal minority. At a place I worked at a few years ago. they converted a few of the Ladies facilities into Unisex as there were a couple of trans women. Next thing they (trans women) complained that no one was using them!!

There as people whose sex and gender match are happy to have toilets basically to themselves.

Just a bunch of men telling women what to do. Typical misogynists. Make the worst of CUK look like gentlemen.

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

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

Dave is very good. Just saying.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

I had to go and Google.

“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…”
