hjwright Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Some of you guys are insufferable, no views apart from your own are to be considered okay. I hope roisin is alright, and I hope that we will soon get to a point as a society that people feel they can speak up on their views without losing their livelihoods. Her views on puberty blockers are probably pretty close to the majority consensus view but anybody that dares speak up and voice their view ends up being shot down by a vocal minority.

angelin Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 I completely agree with you. Its bullying. Hormone blockers are disgusting on young children its like some massive experiment, how are they old enough to consent? Whats needed is masses money invested in MH for children and just all round really. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of closed shop internet echo chambers raising concerns about children being given puberty blockers is not anything that would warrant a witch hunt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She should be able to raise concerns and everyone should be able to freely discuss those concerns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats needed is masses money invested in MH for children and just all round really. Not sure about disgusting, I am sure they are used for certain medical conditions that puberty is better delayed. Now I am now expert and come from a place of ignorance, but happy to learn. Are the parents not involved in these decisions, I am sure it is not just the young person consenting. People also go through certain processes before it happens. I have no idea though how long people are on them for and of course once off puberty starts. The other side is say you have kid who has identity issues ( not sure that is the right word) are you sure you want to see them go through the anguish and turbulence that is puberty , changing to become something they do not want to be. Agree we need more money into kids MH. But I assume you are not equating trans with mental heath problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2019 Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) From last night's gig. The venue was hotter than this year's Croissant Neuf tent. A lovely acoustic set to support the new album.

FloorFiller Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 f**king hilarious that Roisin is receiving the same treatment as that Try That in a Small Town guy in America and getting mass-bought and streamed to be boosted up the charts by all her new ‘fans’.

Ironically I had never listened to her prior to last week but when this thread blew up with people criticising her I noticed she had a new album coming out and thought id check it out....and I really like it and have now listened to it three times. Can also see like you alluded to that its set to be by far her highest charting album.

FloorFiller Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) I imagine after it reaches a sizeable position in the charts in its first week and all the TERFs have ‘made their point’ it’ll drop off pretty rapidly as they all stop pretending to like the music, much like happened with that Jason Aldean guy. FWIW, the album’s f**king ace, so it’s a real shame it’s been overshadowed and dampened by all of this as I would’ve loved to have seen her finally get the widespread recognition she deserves for her music. Be interesting to see where she goes from here. Edited September 12, 2023 by FloorFiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it is a song that would have absolutely stormed the gay clubs me and my friends go to if she had kept her mouth shut. Can't see it getting played in a million years in them now.
