If Mr Willoughby wants to be respected then he needs to also show respect, to say about kidnapping someone doesn't deserve respect. Mr Willoughby is aggressive and extremely obnoxious and rude, yet demands he should be respected when he has proven his misogyny and contempt for actual women time and time again. As for Tom he is part of the problem, if a woman calls a man a woman, then she is forming a social contract, accepting and acknowledging that man is the same as her, which he isn't, it's not about their feelings it's about facts and reality, it doesn't affect Tom or his rights so he has the luxury of being able to play and indulge the stupid language games the TQ+ demand, us women don't have that luxury.

[@Penddraig7]

I have always disliked Tom Harwood from the first appearance he made on GBNews, he is typical of a snooty upperty public schoolboy and the way he talks and presents himself just grates on me, he has no charisma whatsoever and this has only added to that. No one is obligated to refer to anybody by the pronoun they choose to go by, some may say it’s the courteous thing to do and yes it is but that is not an obligation, I definitely 100% would not afford that curtesy to someone who did not deserve it and who was someone like India, I would to someone like Debbie Hayton because she is a good person, a likeable person, a common sense person and someone who would never demand it, she isn’t living in cloud cuckoo land, she is a realist on the topic and I respect her so out of respect for her, I would refer to her as a her and a she, there are many like her who demand nothing and I will always be courteous to people like her, I would absolutely disagree that it is transphobic however if people don’t, that’s absolute nonsense. For me, how I treat people is always on a case by case basis, based on the content of their character and nothing else. I suspect JK takes that same stance on the matter and therefore those who go after her, she isn’t going to afford them that courtesy and I don’t blame her at all, I would not either, anyone who demands anything from me is not going to get that thing from me

[@yvonnehayton6753]

I used to think I would afford that courtesy to Hayton (no relation) too. And I do like him, especially as he stands up for women's rights. But turns out he's just another man with a sexual fetish which he likes to parade in public so I can't bring myself to call him "her".

Yes, even wimps like Tom Harwood can be aggressive while sitting in a TV studio surrounded by cameras and security people. It would be interesting to see how forthright and vocal he would be spouting his complete crap in the company of a group of real men outside the controlled environment of a studio?

She’s gone down a path called reality. To argue against reality is coveting stupidity.

I used to be more moderate, until the craziest among the Hahsjajsdjsidk+ squad began bullying women and indoctrinating children

What happened to the saying "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" 😂

[@user-hj3ov6ov8w]

Someone said recently 'it's better to be called transphobic than a liar'. If you know the truth but cowardly repeat what we all know are lies, it's not good for the wider society.

[@gothicwriter9897]

Tom is wrong. One can use whatever pronouns one chooses to when referring to somebody in the third person singular. I use, he, she and plonker. And as the law is, I will not be influenced by some fool telling me their 'chosen' pronouns.

[@lexiwilson9501]

Tom coming unstuck in these debates again!

[@mattb6704]

He’s an absolute inconsistent clown

[@markvincentjamesmason4812]

Tom….your sounding like msm……

[@stevecooke2589]

Tom is clearly showing how unprofessional he is here

[@clivemarriott7749]

Its not phobia. There are in fact a list of known phobias, things like fear of spiders, heights, small places but nowhere on the list is transphobia. Further It cannot be good for your mental health to be forced to deny a fundamental fact of existence which is gender. You know double think from 1984 you can see what it is but you must not say that. This causes internal contradiction and its not good for ones mental health.

[@barbarakauppi9915]

You are correct, it isn't good for either party's mental health. There is already a term for it, it's called co-dependency, and it's devastating to personal autonomy, personal growth, and any healthy relationships whatsoever.

[@grahamdee1416]

Whether or not I would refer to a trans woman AS a woman, with she/her pronouns, is all dependent on how much respect that person shows to women. If the trans womans position is "I am a TRANS woman, I am a man who has transitioned to live my life as though I were a women, but I would never dream of insisting that I really AM a woman, and I would never bully my way into womens spaces", then its very easy to want to show that person respect and regard them as a woman by using she/ her pronouns. But if the trans womans position is more like "I AM a woman, and you had better regard me as such, and these are the words I want you to use and you had better use them or I'll call you a bigot, and I am going to walk into womens toilets and changing rooms", then my response would be different. It would be like 'Fuck off dude!".

[@MikeHallett-jc2by]

GBNews going from bad to worse; it's a slowly sinking ship, and Harwood has just switched the bilge pump off!

[@wolfhugs2221]

2:06 Tom is depressingly naive. He evidently is unqualified to comment where the use of language is concerned.

[@MrBoabiegringo]

Women are supposed to build other women up as far as i know? Good on these REAL WOMEN for standing up for themselves. Sick of this BS.

[@user-mu5pg5hn7l]

Far too easy to run to the police crying hate crime these days.

[@mariewalmsley6143]

I loved the interview were kellie jay put the deluded man who calls himself India in his place.

[@sgb6476]

Kellie jay rules 🤩

[@yvonnehayton6753]

Was that the one where Willoughby, Eamonn Holmes and his silly wife rounded on KJK like bullies in the playground? Never could stand that duo. Was horrified when GBN hired him. Would love to hear his opinion on this one now though. Bet he wouldn't have the balls to stand his ground. He'd probably deny that interview ever happened. Ghastly man.

[@sgb6476]

@@yvonnehayton6753 that’s the one, Kellie is tough though and held her own. I watched an interview with Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins and she was great, I never realised what a great lady she is, cancelled big time when she exposed a child trafficking ring, she said the only one decent on this morning when she worked there was Eamonn so I wonder if he regrets that interview now or was told to go along. It can take a while to click with the trans stuff, it was my son that enlightened me

[@yvonnehayton6753]

@sgb6476 I like Tommy and Katie too. She is another strong woman like Maya and KJ. Maybe you're right about Eamonn. I have heard a lot of professional people talk highly of him. I never really listened to him Tbh apart from seeing that interview via KJ. Good for your son! Hope a lot more young people are catching on!

[@snelgrave101]

Trying to cancel jk is like trying to cancel trump, it just backfires and makes them all the more popular 😂 and its glorious to watch.

[@BigAL0074]

He* stop misgendering him.

[@patrickkyle4601]

WTF Tom? I'm obviously not "decent people" as I will not be forced into calling a man in a wig (or hair transplant) "she & her")

[@davidjordan6159]

His name is Jonathon Willoughby

[@barbarakauppi9915]

Tbf, people can legally change their names to whatever they want for the most part, there are reasonably limited exceptions. How ever people have the right to live their lives as they chose, there cannot ever be a legal right to "change" one's legal biological gender in order to impinge on the rights of everyone else. If he wants to name himself "India" then he can, but he's still a "he", and a rather cruel, abusive, misogynistic, and belligerent one at that.

[@reneep.1978]

Tom Harwood is clearly ignorant of the impact of trans-identifying males have on the lives and rights of real women. Probably doesn't really care either as it doesn't directly affect his life or rights.

[@gloriahooper5023]

Doesn't affect him or his husband 😂

[@jm19592011]

People might have been inclined to be 'nice' previously, but now they're just sick of this shit.

[@jaynemcfarland3678]

You can’t bullie people into doing and saying what you want

[@sharoncoxhead5249]

The presenters are completely out of line here. I shall certainly not be listening to their show again. I hope others vote with their feet. I had hoped better of gb news then falling for this nonsense.

[@gloriahooper5023]

Absolutely 💯

Waste of cop time. 🙄

[@Nomad261]

JK is right I would never call a man a woman , and that is that !!!!
