Graham Linehan on Twitter / Trans debate

The whole trans situation is really getting out of hand, and its becoming dangerous. When these trans people can enter into changing rooms and bathrooms of the opposite sex then this is very worrying and potentially dangerous.

Anyone who agrees with the whole trans thing really needs their head looked at. These people are mentally unwell, i can't walk into the bank and ask for 1 million quid, because I identify as a millionaire. You are born with a set of reproductive organs and a DNA trail of a certain gender 99.9% of the time(i know there is a small chance you can be born with both sex organs). To then turn around and say you identify as something other than your biological makeup has be down to a mental disorder. These people think in their heads they are something other than they are.

These trans people are a very small percentage of the population, and the majority of the rest of the population is having their human rights violated to uphold the crazy rights these trans people are expecting.

I know this might come across s offensive to some people, and this has not been my intention. I am really curious to what others think about the whole situation??

What's your views on people that are gay? Mental disorder or attention seekers?

Again, why do people conflate these two things? You'll be talking about abortion next...

I'm just asking him, not you, he's a big lad, I'm sure he can answer for himself.

I'd be keen to hear his views on something that isn't the 'norm'

Leaving aside the bona fides of the poster Samuel maguire, it's a perfectly legitimate question.

The same shit was leveled at gay people for years and years. Still is by some.

[seafoid]

If the trans phenomenon is not different to gays or lesbians a generation ago, why are so many gays and lesbians opposed to it ?
Simon Fanshawe was one of the founders of Stonewall, a gay and lesbian lobby group which was subsequently taken over by trans lobbyists.

"Imagine sharing a dressing room with them"
"Imagine sharing a communal shower with them"
"Imagine having to mark or tackle them"
"They're disgusting"

Regular comments from people 20+ years ago about gay people, regular comments today about trans people.

[Milltown Row2]

If he isn't an Angelo type poster I'll eat my hat!!

Talks about small percentages... What percentages does he think recognise as being gay?

[jcpen]

What's peoples views on other trans movements. People who claim to be Transracial and Transabled just for an example.Are these people also to be taken seriously? I mean what's the difference between wanting to chop your penis off and wanting to chop your arm off so you can be disabled?
I think a lot of it is actual mental illness.

[J70]

So there's a "movement " out there of people wanting to chop their arms off so they too can be disabled??

[jcpen]

So there's a "movement " out there of people wanting to chop their arms off so they too can be disabled??

Well there are people who identity as those things so what's your opinion on them?

Completely different issues and comparing them/lumping both into the same category is making a mockery of the whole gay/lesbian rights movement. Whoever you are having sex with isn't gonna affect how fast you can run/how hard you can punch etc but if you've grown up as a man and suddenly decided you want chop bits off yourself and identify as a woman then no problem but that doesn't mean you should get access to womens changing rooms or be able to compete against them in sport.

Being gay/lesbian is fine- it does zero harm to other people. Being trans is fine- as long as it doesn't negatively affect other people especially through safety issues in sport.

Look at that rapist in Scotland who decided he was a woman after raping 2 women? Madness.

[Saffrongael]

Yeah and in Scotland you don't have to chop anything off, you just say you are a woman now by "self identifying" and away you go

I would hope you need a medical confirmation to back up your request for a disabled parking pass.

Aside from that I don't have much of an opinion at all.

Homosexuality was once officially written off as mental illness. Did you agree with that?
