“It’s A SHAME To See Him Do That” | David Tennant Blasted After LGBT Awards Row

Rishi Sunak has intervened in the spat between Kemi Badenoch and actor David Tennant, suggesting the Doctor Who star is “the problem”.
Tennant suggested at an awards show he wanted a world where the equalities minister “doesn’t exist any more”, and that she should “shut up”.
The Prime Minister said: “Freedom of speech is the most powerful feature of our democracy.
“If you’re calling for women to shut up and wishing they didn’t exist, you are the problem.”
Director of campaigns at Sex Matters Fiona McNena joins Talk’s Jeremy Kyle to discuss this further.

I BET YOU NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF IT 😂😂😂😂😂 . HOW IS THAT NOT INCONSIDERATE ???😂😂😂 then people are audacious enough to think That they are some how right to choose for the kid as if they some how know what's best for their emotional well being While Simultaneously discrediting their words and refusing to validate their feels aka (wont acknowledge) And failing to protect them from employers that only depend on you to make the technology that *disrupts our lives *Destroys our planet *Robbed us of our thoughts *Cheated us out of our time *Sold us into labour * stipulated by a man with a gun who says he's justice *And labeled homless when there is a world that is supposed to be everybody's home *Nobody makes them feel at home especially when all you do is fight for who has control of them when really we need to take a back seat and learn from the childern because they are the future they are evolved life only evolves greater potential if not it does not live to pass it on ......your crushing them smothering them Also with out emotions there is no personality thus hence personality without one there is no person.. person = ality Because In re-ality they are not robots and they are not supposed to listen to you .... especially if they want to be happy or satisfied with themselves... You don't know them as well as they know themselves just because appearance looks the same, does not mean they are actually happy Beyond keeping them safe from what actually visibly causes physical harm , then your only other job is to provide context and feed them What is normal or not is them Aka they decide not you it's not about what makes you uncomfortable. Be an adult have some composure And do not impose your discomfort on your children.. because your damaging them ... Just because your scared to climb a latter does not mean that you should not let them or teach them how to climb a latter Same as if they want to wear a trench coat while eating a mustard sandwich sitting in a tree with crossed legs Just because I think thats weird or feel that it makes me uncomfortable Does not mean I have to deny them The question is who is it hurting ?? why teach them to be codependent who cares what other people think .. And it's not giving them a bad reputation it's bad credit the bad reputation is the judgmental people that would bully harras or make a child uncomfortable or feel shamed over being credited as different And [themselves] as in ( not some image they try to live up to that sombody els superimposed and dictated/curated ) And to have no emotions means you would resemble a robot or computer Computers don't actually think things 🤔 they approximate things The measurement is not accurate unless the bit measures itself, which it can not do in any meaningful way

Very good point from Fiona about stereotypes. Girls don't necessarily have to love pink dresses and baby dolls. I loved cowboys and wanted toy pistols as a little girl.

Shame on him. Typical lovey - so up himself pompous and arrogant. A privileged man thinking what he says is worth everyone listening to. Kemi wants to safeguard women and our precious girls - something worth supporting. But he's too busy playing to the rainbow audience instead. He just loves that applause a bit too much.

[@durablehalo2147]

You sound so unbelievably privileged right now even more so than David Tennant he is using his privilege for fighting for something that promotes equality of everyone. Kemi is fighting for equality while also trying to take away the rights of trans and other lgbtq communities. If you are going to fight for equality fight for everyone not just your group. You have no right to talk on someone being privileged. When you marginalize an entire group of people calling them a "rainbow audience" diminishing their rights and existence.

But if you have ever been so sure of your own opinion, how can you ever tell someone else that is also sure of their own that they are wrong?! You all need to stop being hypocrites.

[@josefschiltz2192]

David's attitude is part of effect, not cause. As with Atheism, which would be pointless were it not for the existence of Theism. Atheism being an effect of Theism. If a society doesn't want uber-woke backlash then just let people exist in the name of decency and no malice and hatred? The only reason for this woke noise is the anti-woke counter-noise. It is actually that simple to just take it all down to a reasoned simmer and without all the rabble-rousing and assertions and shaming. It might actually help.
