Eddie Izzard is a man, a creepy heterosexual man larping as a lesbian.

That's the official policy of this sub.

"Trans rights are human rights.”

Like hell they are. Little kids are not old enough to be making life altering decisions, so that also means they're not old enough to make the decision on whether they want to be treated as a boy or girl. Little kids pretend that they're dinosaurs or firetrucks, so does that mean we should now treat them as such? If not, the same applies to gender.

"If you’re offended by other people’s choice of pronouns, given everything else that’s going on might I suggest getting some perspective?"

It's not the pronouns which are the issue, it's the person who is using them which are. There are people who are doing this shit for attention just like what this man is doing.

"“Eddie Izzard has been publicly pondering the possibility, in this new ‘gender identity’, of being able to date a lesbian."

Oh look, another "transgender" who is viewing lesbians as objectives and the TRA's are backing up this behavior. Don't you just love double standards?

"Lzzard, 58, has previously said she is “a lesbian trapped in a man’s body”

No, this is a straight person who obviously has mental issues which should be getting themselves checked out to be receiving mental help. And secondly, there is no such thing as a "transgender lesbian" or a "transgender gay" because the sexuality of those people is what it should be normally. And in the case of actual lesbians or gay people who are transgenders, they aren't straight because they're still attracted to the same sex as what they were before their "transition.

"I’ve got boy genetics and girl genetics."

We all do considering one parent is male and the other is female. For example, breasts are a female characteristic and there are males who actually are able to produce milk. That is the result of female genetics not being turned off probably in a males development.

“Trans rights are crimes against humanity” is more like it...

Definitely. The parents who are manipulating their kids into being a "gender" which they aren't, is no different than the radical religious parents who send their gay kids to Nazi like concentration camps to "get the gay out of them." In my opinion the radical left is worse than the radical right. The reason being is because the left is fighting against the bigotry which tends to come from rightwingers, but they left is projecting their own form bigotry onto people despite them being against it. TRA's who are giving backlash to people for not wanting to be in a relationship with a transgender do to biological sex based reasons are no different than the religious people who want to ban gay marriage. Both parties are telling people who they should be with.

Pink News is delusional. The backlash is against transgender ideology. Hopefully LGB Alliance will continue to grow and will make strong gains in Ireland.

Not sure why but the archive link isn't loading for me for some reason.

Also I love that you keep calling it Penis News, lol.

Still new here! Thanks again for having this place and space! This reminds me of a few things. People with narcissistic personality disorder do this. After being trained to spot these people, in dating it is so easy, sadly on dating apps are filled with abusers. They create immediate boxes for you to reside, and the boxes keep shrinking with more rules. All of the so called other lesbians on dating apps I talk to do this too, so more than just wokies (because anyone can be NPD or BPD). They will make demands like this first day or so of texting, and place the RULES upon you, like, "I have a snake, so you have to like those, and I have a kid, who comes first, and I have, and I have"and ON and ON an d ON!

Wow. You do not find a character to fit in a role of your script and keep altering it, you find a person and build a life together.

With regards to all of these freaking rules and the banning of books, it is following this timeline right now, is it not? (Nazi timeline) https://www.bl.uk/learning/histcitizen/voices/info/decrees/decrees.html

That's a very interesting observation about dating apps.

Nothing is left to human connection and discovering common needs, wants, and interests when finding partners that way... It's a pass/fail scenario like a job advertisement with a rubric of expectations. Gross.

We used to be able to chat on the bus or the coffee shop or wherever. ("Hey, I read that same book... isn't it great?") There's no expectation of a relationship, but who knows, it's a connection. And nowadays? Earpods, phone screens, and stay-at-home lockdowns. Wow—I really think we're done for.

You can't ever get to actually know people by the things they put on their profile. When's the last time any of them actually went for a "long walk on the beach"... it's either aspirational, or it's lies.

The problem is that as a woman, if you were to talk to a man on a bus about the book they're reading, if they're straight, they'll think it's an invitation for sex or a romantic relationship. Showing any kind of pleasantry towards them, even politeness, is seen as a 'signal', at least in my experience.

That's only going to get worse the more people are starved for ordinary human connections, I think. Talking on the bus becomes a porn fantasy, basically.

Everyone's self absorbed, then add to that how men are deluded by porn, and I can't see how it gets better from here.

Lol I never thought about it this way but you're not even wrong.

As a guy I assume anyone talking to me(male or female) wants something, and it's not a relationship, it's money, or a signature on a petition, or to join their church/cult/whatever.

Welcome :) glad you're joining us!

Lol, that is part of why I have hesitated to try dating apps. I never really understand that mindset. I mean, you've gotta find a partner who supports you in your hobbies and goals but maybe they're not as enthusiastic about it for themself, you know?

All of the so called other lesbians on dating apps I talk to do this too

If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.

"It's not me it's ALL the others!1" LMAO bullshit.

But she's talking about dating profiles she's seeing

I mean to be fair, a kid should come first, whether straight, gay whatever. Snakes and pets are another thing, but if you have a child and you're trying to date, your kid should always come first.

Eddie Izzard IS A STRAIGHT MAN. Why is Pink News sucking the dick of a straight man while attacking gay people?

Although it's become popular to say this about various news and social outlets, Pink News really did become a massive purveyor of fake news & inaccurate information.

Let it be known that “blistering backlash” is now defined as two tweets with less than a hundred likes each...
