[@lavienestpasunlongfleuvetr2559]

Exactly. The trans lobby's demands are utterly ridiculous. It is terribly childish of these people to think that they can become a woman or a man by simply calling themselves one. Only an immature, unsophisticated mind could think that the nature of a thing can be changed simply by changing the language used to describe it. Equally childish, is these people's belief that they have the right to force the rest of us to enact their ridiculous demands. It is patently clear that the trans lobby is comprised of overgrown toddlers. It's time that the adults took back control and stopped entertaining their nonsense tantrums.

[@hope9935]

Graham is right, it’s easier to denigrate him than listen to these reasonable arguments and speak out on the harms because if you do you face the abuse that comes along with that. This interviewer doesn’t really engage with the argument,he seems cowardly.

mate he did a great job, he asked hard questions and Mr Linehan got to make his position clear because of those questions. This is basic journalism, you want freedom of speech you need journalists to play devil's advocate and always take a critical position against the interviewee. This is the UK not Fox news, CNN, MSNBC etc.

[@jamesmccallum6770]

I think to say he did a great job is a bit of a stretch, when he continually miss quotes him. I would suggest the interviewee did a great job by staying on point and not allowing the misquoting and disingenuous interpretations to frustrate him. When stig is offered a argument that he can't easily misrepresent, he simply says "I understand that" and then begins his next attempt to dismiss GL point of view.

[@jamesmccallum6770]

I haven't given any thought to what my pronoun is, but I know it's not 'mate'. Stig's combative and accusatory style has more in common with US journalism than it does with traditional British journalism. I would agree his job is to challenge the interviewee, but there was another element to this, the need to stick to the agenda of the new elite.

[@timdarville4827]

This man is excellent. Trans ideology is strange. The interviewer rightly suggests that many ''trans'' people want to live quietly and in peace, but the issue - alas, has become politicised. Activists wish for people to accept a fundamentally false premise (that men can be women - or vice versa) - or, a redefinition of words' meanings. Those of us rooted in STEM are unlikely to bend to such ideas, yet it is being pushed on society by people infused with ludicrous beliefs learned fom radical - nonsensible, subjects that today pass as ''education''.

[@tish3092]

Sick of this “poor trans people who want to live in peace” argument. They want to redefine what it means to be a woman, force women to share single sex spaces, groom our kids to “transition” early to validate middle aged men with a fetish who want to deflect from the sexual motivation. There’s no such thing as “trans” it is a confected identity dreamt up by men with fetishes and the promoted by the pharmaceutical industry. Women, especially mothers, say no

[@lavienestpasunlongfleuvetr2559]

And if by 'living quietly and in peace' means invading women's spaces and sports and forcing us all to pretend they're the sex that they're not and debauch the English language in the process, then that is simply not acceptable. It is breaching the peace of women and girls.

Name and shame, cancel etc In my experience the current crop of activists are very good at criticism and knocking things down - not so adept at helpful, persuasive conversation or rebuilding In my opinion, most people agree with Graham's opinions about children, safe spaces and sport but are silent because they don't want to risk the ire of the activists Some of the things happening in clinics are awful .

Another type found in the pub or at work is some couch potato whining about trans women in sports when they have never been interested either in sports or women's rights.

What Graham is doing is maybe one of the most honourable sacrifices one can make in our time by speaking on this issue and anyone else in his shoes would have understandably laid down their arms a while ago for the sake of having some peace, but I think Graham is one of the rare few who knows how important this is and god knows what the man has been through just for standing his ground. I do hope he gets to have a career resurgence again because he never deserved such vitriol in the first place, the madness in all of this is that he has done nothing that would be constituted as a crime and yet he has been punished for the crime of speaking common sense which should now be re-titled to rare sense.

The interviewer had obviously made up his mind in advance, and showed no empathy for the fact that activists have destroyed Linehan’s career. Shocking. So he thinks that it is okay to destroy someone’s life because they say something that he calls ‘controversial’. And who are these people? Most post anonymously online, using anonymity to allow them to get away with abusive behaviour. Thus a small group of extremists can shape society according to their whims. The interviewer ignored this obvious point. I suspect he lives among the metropolitan elite, and shares their world view.

This interviewer is hostile, has his own agenda, and seems incapable of really listening.

[@eleanorwalmsley635]

He was very dismissive of valid points

[@peterkane1591]

The interviewer is ridiculous. Grahame...is a brilliant, brave man. Good for him!

[@ethandalton6480]

Yes, he's incredibly brave to push away family and instead seek support from online weirdos

[@jamesmccallum6770]

None of he's questions follow on from the answers he's received. This interviewer only has his agenda in view. Kathy Newman mark2

[@andrewbullman5206]

Careful now!

[@jamesmccallum6770]

😂

[@bossadave]

Down with this sort of thing

[@jamesmccallum6770]

Has anyone at Times Radio actually watched the Kathy Newman debacle with Jordan Peterson? This continued disingenuous reporting has got to stop. You are either choosing to misrepresent these views, or you are as simple as you suggest the general public are.

[@bganonimouse2754]

Why would they watch that when its got nothing to do with the subject at hand. The interviews in style were nowhere near similar.

[@StillAliveAndKicking_]

@@bganonimouse2754They were similar, both had a journalist with a preconceived idea and unwilling to think.

These journalists live in a liberal arts media bubble. I have never met anyone who would disagree with Linehan, my neighbours think we now live in clown land.

[@bganonimouse2754]

@@StillAliveAndKicking_ If you have never met anybody who would disagree with Linehan then it kind of makes you a hypocrite for saying that others live in a bubble. I know people who support his position and those against his position.

[@StillAliveAndKicking_]

@@bganonimouse2754 That is bad logic. I meet huge numbers of people, including company directors, sports trainers, armed police commanders airline pilots and kitchen fitters. None of these are the metropolitan elite. Some are confirmed Guardian readers, some are Sun readers. I am a Times reader. I would argue that the metropolitan elite, or liberal elite, whatever they are called, constitute a small but influential group.

[@garyohara6491]

You are a man of integrity I agree with you

[@Nannie-jx2px]

Graham so sorry for what has happened to you. You're telling the truth and the facts .. nothing sensational or unreasonable.. this fella has no idea of the reality it seems to me.

[@kujouk]

My view is the people that have turned against you haven't done it simply becuase they think you are wrong, they've turned against you becuase they know how much backlash they'll get for agreeing with you so to keep their job, fame, they'll just side with the ones attacking you, as you've stated it's the minority that have influenced the majority.

It's pretty clear the vast majority of the populace and sensible people - including a minority even of T people - share all of Glinner's views when it comes to public policy, and are nearly entirely agreed with him in substance. This includes the medical world where there is (at least in Europe) a rowing back from the prior medical-activism pathways of automatic-affirmation and hormones ASAP for teens, to more careful pathways in properly considering the long-term health (mental and physical) of the children involved - who often do have profound psychiatric care needs (esp. in girls). It is therefore bizarre that Glinner is demonised so strongly by mainstream media. The man is guilty of nothing more than looking into the details and arriving at certain conclusions earlier than (nearly) everyone else.
