Hi Neil - I interpreted your original comment as thinking of the trans community as being a joke. Obviously I'd love to be proven wrong. Could you please just reassure us that you do in fact believe in trans rights? Cheers

i don't think of the trans community as a joke, i do think there's the possibility to  find some humour in the situation.

I do hope you enjoy the beach.

I remember when we met in person you thanked me for my contribution to this place. Guess that was just a throwaway comment or you’ve forgotten the real reason why this place was a success. The people who used it.

Forums are a people driven platform, they don’t turn on the platform for shits and giggles.

Just find it incredible how you can watch so many people walk out the door and feel nothing.

Oh get over yourself 😆

Genuine question, what's the humourous part of "the situation"? Not trying to be facetious, genuinely curious!

Extremely alarming that you see no problems with anything. It’s a terrible look for you in different ways from Neil.

Nothing to 'Jesus' about. It is a transphobic dog whistle. 

its a stement of fact that anyone with a penis is a potential rapist.

You're missing the point. You're feeding into an idea that trans people are rapists. When the topic is so heated and it's a heavily marginalised community.

See also rhetoric around immigrants that the media love to churn out, that people seeking refuge could be a potential criminal/murderer/coming over here for benefits etc. 

It doesn't help the situation, it helps stir the pot for bigots and fuels hatred against groups of people. People who are already vulnerable. I don't think it's a concept too hard to grasp, but clearly you do.

'I'm all for gay rights but did you also know gay people can be nonces?'

@Neilplease take a look at this statement and reflect on what you've said.

and of course making a big fuss about  a low profile humourous mention  is helping to spread that idea more than that low profile mention. 
(that joke, btw, was lifted from the most recent private eye ). and i trust them to get it right more than i trust the calls being made here

Wow, what a funny joke Neil, thanks, I'm absolutely creasing.

Unlike you to make someone laugh I don't have to punch down on a group of people who are having a horrendous time. A trans girl was murdered less than a month ago btw. But let's just make a laugh at their expense shall we?

    • Tbf that happened to me in 2022 so not a one off. 40 euros to drive down 3 streets. I'd have done a runner but the reason for getting the taxi in the first place is cos I couldn't walk no more. 
    • I was fully prepared (waterproof jacket, extra pair of socks, foldable umbrella), but after four hours in the rain (from Geese through Oklou to Florence Road), it was just too much. Already at the hotel, let's hope tomorrow's better.
    • It’s rare that I watch question time, but I almost felt sorry for Kenyon, he seemed like a guy just brought off the street which effectively is what he was, made worse by the fact Burnham and the Tory guy were very strong debaters. I think Burnham was very aware not to go too hard on Kenyon and risk him getting sympathy, in fact he pretty much ignored him.
    • Shambles. Transport and comms garbage. Been looking forward to this since last June and have never been to a more disorganised festival in 30+ years.  Why we were told the whole festival was cancelled for the night if they had put back shows for a few hours?  Pissed off to say the very least and put a huge downer on the rest of the weekend.
    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
