Tennant was at a LGBT event, supporting his offspring.

That’s what parents do.

The LFBT community are a tiny, tiny minority and are one of the most maligned. Behind all the glitz and glimmer on nights like that there are many stories of misery and mental ill health. There is a poster on GN who’s member of this community who took his life.

I think that where we as women feel that our space is being taken over by members of this community, and I am one who feels this is a real problem, should be big enough to tackle this issue with grace and intelligence, not in the way I read here or jumping onto Badenoch’s culture war wagon.

I know that I am probably in a minority of one, but “that’s life Grandma” as my grandson said!

He seems to have an inflated sense of his own importance these days.

Absolutely. Never liked him anyway.

I don't think anyone here has a problem with a parent supporting their child in the context of the event DT went to. His criticisms of KB on her stance in her support for the rights of women girls was nasty and intolerant and displays a level of left leaning bigotry. We have yet to experience what Labour's policies will be on such issues, although many of us hope they won't emulate those of the SNP. David Lammy has said something along the lines of "women must not horde their privileges" whatever that's supposed to mean, but sounds ominous, Wes Streeting appears to take a more balanced approach so I will reserve judgement. .It's not a question of "them or us" of course we sympathise with the struggles with anyone dealing with mental health/identity issues., but there are areas around women's issues where vociferous trans people will encroach if they're allowed to do so.

In what universe did David Tennant tackle this with grace and intelligence . Also he can still support his child without making nasty personal insults about someone who doesn’t share his views what lesson does that teach his child.
Presumably he is an intelligent man I’m sure he could have shown his support without resorting to playground tactics

He could put me off voting Labour.

Thinking again now.

Too many ‘luvvies’ thinking their opinions are important to the rest of us.

I am assuming 'LFBT' is an error; not being facetious but more and more letters being added to this unwieldy abbreviation.

For a 'tiny, tiny minority ' it seems to garner a great deal of publicity and disharmony, and deriding Kemi Badenoch's intentions as part of a 'culture war wagon will' not help.

Those of us who are expressing our concerns about the eradication of women's safe spaces and the language pertaining to biological women do IMO do so with grace and intelligence. The absence of both is clearly evident in the behaviour of trans activists and it appears, David Tenant.

I disagree that the trans community is one of the most maligned. It's the tiny minority of this minority group who are criticised and not just by women, but from their fellow trans who just want to live their lives in peace which they were doing before all of this nonsense, including women being referred too as 'people with a cervix; people who bleed; chest feeders' and women having to compete against trans women in sports, with all of the advantages their male biology provides.

The LFBT community are a tiny, tiny minority and are one of the most maligned.

And yet there are whole months dedicated to celebrating this tiny, tiny minority ? Streets and shops decked out with flags and the permanent rainbow crossings. No other section of society, whether minority or majority enjoys this level of endorsement. I don't dispute there is some negative reaction but try asking for respect and protection for women's rights and observe the often violent negative reaction.

As for should be big enough to tackle this issue with grace and intelligence, not in the way I read here or jumping onto Badenoch’s culture war wagon. I really haven't seen anything here that is jumping on a culture wagon, indeed surely it is DT and many other 'celebtities' that are jumping on that particular culture wagon. Does anybody else wonder why the incidence of 'transgender children' seems to be far higher amongst celebrities than the general population?

A lot of these celebrities seem terrified of not jumping on every passing bandwagon in case they are 'cancelled' and lose work. Look how the Harry Potter actors turned on J K Rowling.

The child has just turned 11 surely too young to be pushed this way. The mum has many pictures on IG which are worth a look.She may wear the pants in that household.

I enjoyed this essay by Andrew Doyle just now: The Ideological Capture of the Entertainment Industry

The LFBT community are a tiny, tiny minority and are one of the most maligned

I confess my ignorance - what does F stand for please?

I like Andrew Doyle, I read his book "The New Puritans" fairly recently. I'll read your link Bags.

Oh goodness!
All that publicity for a very young child cannot be good, surely?

She may wear the pants in that household.

Oops!

Which child?
Which mum?
What is IG?

Why do celebs think we are interested in their opinions?

They have the advantage of their celebrity to spout misogynistic hatred and to get away with it. Remember Jeremy Clarkson?

I don't care that his child is non-binary; I very much doubt that they are predatory and a threat to women and girls.
That is Badenoch's focus.

I'm astonished to find myself defending her 😯 but he is crossing a line there.

Exactly.

Sorry. Posted on wrong thread.

Callistemon213

^I don't wish ill of her I just want her to shut up^

Why? He won't.

Why does he have such an inflated sense of self importance that he actually has the audacity to think we care what he thinks?
He’s a racist bigot!

Agreed! Your second paragraph sums it up beautifully. I’ve read posts on GN saying that people with gender dysphoria have lived among us, unnoticed for years.
But if that’s true, then which group of people with gender dysphoria (mainly TW) and their violent supporters have called trans into disrepute?
Is it the tiny minority who have been living unnoticed, or the even smaller minority +fans who have introduced lying, cheating, intimidation of females (even young girls) and violence into people’s perception of what being TW means?

The weirdest thing is that these TW want to deny the rights of the group they aspire to be, probably because they know they will never belong to that biological group, no matter how they dress, talk, have bodily alterations or take drugs, and if they can’t have that, then they don’t see why females should either!

Tennant and his wife Georgia' child - who is just 10.
Poor kid. He's being used.
