I feel like I'm missing something in this whole transgender argument thing. He's largely been ostracised by his friends and enemies, the main thrusts of his arguments seem fairly sensible to me??
Cant say I've delved too deep into the various Twitter threads on it as the PCness of it would drive u mad. I wouldn't even know how to be PC in a discussion about it tbh.
I used to follow him for a while and yeah I think his main argument is correct in that men who identify as women shouldn't be allowed to complete as equals in female sport as well as the issue with children taking hormone blockers. But when you have his profile and go down that particular rabbit hole things get very messy very quickly when you start to take on the LGBTQ movement! Also he's completely obsessed about it which doesn't help.
There's nutbars on both sides of the spectrum involved in it and things get messy very quickly I just decided to unfollow because you see an odd tweet you agree with and then the comments under end up being totally insane.
A lot of people are quite blasé about gender and say "anyone can be anything they want" and I used to be a bit like that myself but Linehan gets into the anecdotal nitty gritty of the issue where there's the sporting issue and then men using it to take advantage of women's safe spaces/bathrooms and woke parents getting their children hormone blockers because they believe they don't like their gender so it can get very messy.
I think over the next few years this will become a bigger issue as society seems to be moving that way and anecdotal will become more mainstream and there will have to some kind of policy on it. It's a can of worms though if you want to look into Linehans past comments on twitter and the replies!
