Father Ted creator Graham Linehan on trans rights - BBC Newsnight 

SyeTen I know right! Sick of being forced to feel a certain way by over sensitive bbc.

Well said

Aye Ten, you have the gift of clarity!!!!!!! You took the words right out of my mouth. Have a blessed day!!!!

The days of journalists simply reporting events or presenting facts are long gone.

Why. Aren't. You. Making. Videos?

Oh my... she needs to be cancelled.

@@fredbraid322 why do you continue to say that word leftist? I know people in the left who don't believe this nonsense. A leftist may agree with her but a leftists also may not agree with her. If you make it political then it muddies the waters, cause contention and make it easier for the transagenda alphabet people to fullfil the desires.

She's paid to be like that. It's a character, similar to how Piers Morgan is paid to be the way he is. Normal, respectful conversation doesn't get tweets or outrage views. I think she's had formal training in interview technique by police or defense lawyer type interviewers.

Was just going to write exactly this. The irony of her position 'against' toxicity in the online platform arena whilst using a very confrontational style makes me boke.

She is appalling yes. Put your pitchfork away, stop trying to burn the witch and try have a reasonable conversation.Demonstrate to the public what that entails.

Agreed

You know tavistock has simply opened two other sites?

@@thewomble1509 No it has not. The NHS has opened two new clinics dealing with gender dysphoria in kids. In part, no doubt, to deal with the fallout from gender ideology evangelism spreading like wildfire, which tells girls if they like trains that they’re boys, and boys if they like dressing up as fairies that they’re girls. And if anyone demurs they are accused of literal violence. Humans cannot change sex and 1000s of poor kids are being deceived daily by this crazy ideology. No wonder there is a mental health crisis.

@@angelan8784 Not quite sure why you are having a go at me tbh. IF you read my post, it's not supporting what tavistock are doing is it? Go and vent your fury elsewhere silly moo.

@@thewomble1509 no venting from me. Just clarifying facts. If you don’t agree with them it’s worth pointing out the error rather than slinging rude insults at a stranger.

who tf cares enough to hunt you down?? no offense but do you really think that's what we spend our time doing? the most we try to do is explain things to people so they, y'know, respect our pronouns and existence in general. but yeah, hope you view changes or something or that you at least don't discriminate against people because of it and happy retirement, hope you enjoy it lol the age of retirement seems to keep getting higher so now seems like a pretty good time to do it (:

Damn. That’s what I was going to do

Keith Sharp he should have walked off

Typical left wing interviewer

Typical BBC

Defund the BBC?

well that's married women for you

Cv

look at him literally making fun of trans people, even lgb+ people too by infiltrating a wlw dating app just to ridicule trans women...is that still brave?

Puberty blockers are totally reversible and are evidently (ACTUALLY evidently, which you would be able to tell if you were to look it up) harmless. "Graham Linehan has always been a reasonable, empathetic, kind and funny man"-bro Jonathan Pie on twitter agrees with him on his subject, and even he doesn't agree with THAT.

She's an absolute ignorant moron who should be fired. Horrible interviewer

Same as the Cathy Newman style of "interview" of Peterson on Channel4. Seems an interview of someone on TV can either be a seeking to elicit from the interviewee as clear an unambiguous exposition of their views and then test the core assumptions, or...it can be to talk over the interviewee, berating and misrepresenting whatever they are saying.

Well said, spot on

it is the job of a professional interviewer to ask the most challenging questions.. and especially when there is not an opposing point of view in the room - to forcefully make the points that would otherwise be absent.. in this instance - she did interrupt a little too regularly in a way that did undermine Graham's ability to most coherently make his point.. and it was silly that the thing was squeezed into such a tight time..

It's because he respects people especially women.

Or maybe she spoke over him because he has the Gaul to make nazi comparisons which is a common go to for people who want to frighten people or vilify a community instead of actual discussing it. It’s no different than calling BLM thugs or immigrants criminals. He’s just a bigoted old man whose not comfortable with something and instead of trying to understand it he chooses to decide it’s wrong just like any other bigot.

@@joyfuldelights9876 Do you have an argument for why it is right? Or are you mistaking "being offended" with an actual argument?

@@joyfuldelights9876 It is wrong, and it bears comparison to the Nazi experiments.

@@joyfuldelights9876 gall. He has gall. He is not from the biblical Middle East country of Gaul. Linehan’s analogy of using untested drugs on children, comparing it to the experiments of Mengele is simple hyperbole. No one is frightened. If you are, find your huevos and hold on. It’s a long life and chronic whinging sucks the life out you.

This guy is a creative genius and I am fully behind him supporting us. Thanks Graham.

A recent interview on GB news tells of his vindication.

What's the rationale behind closing a clinic when no other provisions had been announced or declared or put into place to support these patients in the interim?

@@cassidyalexandra3376 the safety of those in the clinic obviously was paramount. Have you checked what provisions were made? Or are you just asking?

@@BadgerMcblasty Hi Badger, the closure has not identified anything specific with regards to "unsafe clinical working practices" therefore, the nurses and doctors and all the healthcare professionals should not be made to feel as though the work they have done has been bad, it is absolutely not the case and there is evidence to contradict the closure of the clinic in adolescents growing up and actually taking a positive outcome from their time at the GIDS. The clinic closed prematurely as the healthcare model was deemed "unsafe" because more research is needed on the effects of puberty blockers and other services that the GIDS gave, but what's ridiculous about this is that when prescribing and when giving treatment, it is always research and a work in progress because every single patient is different. What good is it in closing a whole clinic down solely because something needs updating, surely it would have been safer to keep the clinic open and hasten any changes that were going to be put into effect come 2023 as opposed to leaving the trans community, adolescents and adults alike wondering what will happen to their treatment in the future once the clinic closes. Dr Cass has a fair bit of work to do and to actually answer for when compiling the next stage of her report.

Quite right Wim.....her pre-arranged agenda was sickening and shows how low the BBC has become.

Well the BBC has never real been interested it protecting kids - has it?

She didn't attack him. At no point did she make any personal comments about him whatsoever. She criticised his arguments, which is precisely what an impartial and professional journalist should be doing. If you can't defend your arguments without getting in a tizzy, your arguments are probably wrong and you should rethink them.

Points he was trying to raise like "[Lupron] has never been tested on girls/women"? Why and how then, is it used treat endometriosis? Does he know a lot of cis men with uteruses? The only thing he was right about was that he's not a great person to be in this conversation.

@Bob smath 1:57 Lupron is in fact used to treat endometriosis (a disease involving the uterus) as well as breast cancer. Saying it hasn't been test on women is either a blatant lie, or he's irresponsibly misinformed. Again, probably should stay out of the conversation. It's probably a freudian thing though.

@Bob smath He's the one bringing it up, ask him. 1:57

@Bob smath epic retort there, truly a beacon of reason

It wasn’t her opinion. Her role is to play Devil’s advocate for the other side, for him to respond to.

She was over the top. She deliberately brought up the infamous Nazi comment, then accused him of coming on there talking about Nazis. I thought he was very rational.

She was awful.

She's obeying her paymasters and upholding the BBC stance on this. Everyone who works for the BBC does. Anyone with integrity has already left or been got rid of

There is something extremely wrong with the BBC. They just seem to enjoy supporting abuse of children. From Saville to this crazy encouragement of REAL violent physical abuse. Don't watch it. Don't appear on it. Cancel them.

graham has been proven to be a massive bell end

Yes. Recent events have vindicated him. Smith should be embarrassed

The job is to play Devil’s advocate, and to manage the time constraints.

They do that on purpose, shutting down their guest to force their narrative to overshadow what the guest is trying to relate

@@ElDrom_Belle no. Not normally, anyway. Some may, if the channel has an agenda in some country. BBC is bound by ofcom rules.

Not surprised "she doesn't agree with me so she is very unprofessional" Journalists ask questions to the meaning of the person making claims. He nade the comparison to nazi Germany and back peddled asking where he made that comparison and she pointed it out to him.

It makes sense when you stop seeing these people as journalists and start seeing them for the propagandists & subversionists that they are.

Shortsighted is the perfect word, in light of recent revelations

"He says what most of us believe."-that's kind of the problem. Also puberty blockers are reversible, according to the, huh... scientists (you know, the ones with PHDs? Yeah those ones)

Exactly

Believe = know to be a scientific fact 😊

And with the Tavistock whistleblowers he has been fully vindicated.

You know he's a sex pest, right?

cis women don't want him 99% of women are fine with trans women and want him fucked off.

100%

It's always the way Was same with Emma Barnett on womans hour. She's usually balanced but the BBC are so terrified of being seen as giving a platform for this that they always come out hard against attempts to discuss in a balanced way

@@redlady935 exactly - BBC claim to stand for real balanced journalism and on this topic they are terrified to bring the wrath of the trans evangelists on their heads. It should be said that they have reason to be fearful. The whole scheme is enabled by pharmaceutical and medical companies with dollar signs in their eyes.

BBC has been crap for decades now

Many media outlets have stooped low

The BBC showing their true colours yet again, with this train wreck masquerading as an interview. I applaud him for keeping his cool.

❤️😪. Thank you

Not his wife lol

​@@dadiscoverychannel didn't his wife leave him over this?

Wow. I had no idea this was comparable to Nazi experimenters in the 30s. We should get this revelation out there. Can you link me to some evidence regards the transgender concentration camps, etc. I think Mengle was the most notorious of the Nazi experimenters; is there an equivalent figure in the transgender camps? I thought Graham might have exaggerated, maybe made that comparison in the heat of a Twitter spat or similar but he doubled down on it towards the interview by comparing this to the Holocaust with, "What would I have done?" If this is as bad as the Holocaust we need to gather the evidence and share it widely.

LGBT. Small grammar mistake there

@@Kris-lu1rsNo. Trans is an identity - not a sexuality. They have nothing to do with me as a gay man. If anything - they actively harm me.

​@@Kris-lu1rsTERFs erasing trans people is a feature, not a bug

He completed plenty of stupid sentences for you to be able to get the gist

@@attaxiaffxi7033 getting the gist isn't the same as getting the full picture. His comments might be considered stupid to you, but to others they might not be. If we don't let people talk about issues on both sides, then we never have progress we just have a rhetoric.

what is his narrative though? is he really being shut down, or is his view being rightfully challenged and critiqued?

@@theguru210 his narrative is pro women, pro homosexuality, anti the abuse of children.

Free speech has to be limited where speech can cause harm. For the same reason radical islamist hate preachers are clamped down upon, transphobes needs to be challenged and not given platforms to spread their hate. Puberty Blockers are an incredibly important innovation (that said they have been used for a long time to treat cis kids with Precocious puberty) and their use needs to be encouraged not suppressed if the rates of suicide among young trans people are going to be brought down. Being able to press pause on drastic, irreversible, visual identity defining changes is super important. Graham Lineham has been permanently banned from Twitter due to his hate speech. I suggest you do your research rather than take his unsubstantiated waffle at face value. Here is a good place to start: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8MpHWSQ6QHM.html

@@zig131 I see your point with freedom of speech and I think you're right we should expect consequences for statements that can cause harm. Although, maybe he isn't being transphobic? If he is maybe there are better ways to deal with it than people putting him and his family in real danger? Further-more, he isn't saying "I hate all transgender people and wish death upon all of them" he's saying "I want to protect children from seeking puberty blockers early, thinking it is something required of them". I'm not saying that transgender people don't know they aren't in the right body from a young age but there are people who have perhaps been pressured into seeking puberty blockers early in life only later to discover in their twenties that they felt it was a big mistake. I can find a link to an interview with one of these people who felt that way if you would like?

@@zig131 It seems to me that if you don't defend free speech for people you despise, you don't defend free speech. Free speech is precisely the ability to say something even if you don't like what's being said and think it's harmful. I'm of course in favor of the freedom of private companies do what they want with their platforms, and of anyone's freedom to criticize what he's saying, but the reason they have suspended his account is not "hate speech" but "pandering to the progressives". Perfectly reasonable people can disagree on this issue without necessarily being hateful. Science knows very little about transgenderism, so pretending to know for certain what's going on and what's best for prepubescent teens is, I think, very arrogantly misguided.

One centre shut down=an entire identity shut down. Yep. Internet logic.

Nope. One lawyer said he "expects" over 1000 lawsuits. The centre was shut down due to not dealing with patients fast enough, and another is due to be opened to replace it. Please stop listening to Jordan Peterson.

@@Arcadiabeckons Thus far there have been three systematic reviews conducted by three different countries examining the empirical literature behind gender affirming care for minors. The findings of these reviews overlap: the evidence for this interventions is lacking. This puts a serious dent of the narrative being pushed by activist claiming that the science is settled on these issues. Norway just announced they will conduct their own systematic review and have thus far called these interventions experimental. Fingers crossed, more countries will follow suit. Likely, individuals sounding the alarm who have been labeled as “transphobes” will be vindicated sooner or later.

I’ve just ordered Hannah Barnes book Time to Think. As with all the reviews I’ve read I’m expecting to be horrified by what I read.

@@EmissaryofYogSothoth the as-of-yet-unexplained spike in cases and increased demand for these services is one factor that caused the clinic to close. According to the Cass interim report, however, the team of independent experts also noted the following with regards to the predominantly affirmative model used in the clinic: 1) a lack of data collection 2) a lack of safeguards 3) a lack of comprehensive assessments leading to diagnostic overshadowing (meaning that mental health comorbidities were overlooked).

Absolutely. When have the BBC ever cared about child protection anyway. And what a disgrace Sarah Smith is. She should hang her head in shame

Man bbc really want me to stop paying my licence don’t they….

Another lopsided gob of a Scottish bbc journalist

Yeah, he showed that here by comparing this to the Holocaust.

Yes. If I was Sarah Smith I’d be embarrassed.

She must wince if she ever watches this dreadful piece of gutter TV.

In the past three years he has lost his family, his career, his house and his reputation... honestly, in your opinion, 😏 how has this played out well for him

@georgesears2916 I am very clearly talking about what he said in this interview and that as time has passed, he has been proved to be 100% correct in what he said and we can all see it very clearly now

​@@georgesears2916he will be revered for standing up and sacrificing so much. His legacy will last. He's owed many apologies.

Disgraceful isn't it? Wait to see them row back on it

@@Democracy_Manifest what’s disgraceful? Giving him a platform and doing what newsnight presenters do? Their job is to play Devil’s advocate in representation of his critics, in order to get his response. He handled it well and got his points across.

It's a description which he applied to himself firstly. Which I suppose gives us something of an insight into how he likes to spuriously claim victimhood, given that he is clearly not the most hated man online.

She should be embarrassed.

Horrible situation? He's a grown man being interviewed by a journalist...the horror.

@@AnthonyMonaghan that wasn't journalism it was an interrogation coming from a bias that the interviewer should have declared from the start.

😂you said journalist

Not a great interviewer. Her contribution hasn't helped the debate. She wants the click bait where I'm looking a greater understanding of what all the drama is all about. It seems to be taking a disproportionate amount of traffic for the number of people it affects, and it feels like its significantly affecting free speech and there are far far more threatening issues we should be focused on as a society.

@@glynbell7443 There would be far more threatening issues if we had this one right. There aren't a lot of more threatening issues than thousands of kids ruining their lives based on a lie.

Its true when you look at a 4 or 5 year old and say that... they are going to believe you... because they don't understand. You tell that same child a biscuit is a chocolate bar enough times they are going for believe that at this age.

Very true

No trans person or trans advocate has suggested telling children what their gender identity is. You're thinking of old fashioned patriarchy and heteronormativity. Society already tells children what their gender is and which behaviours they ought to emulate and those things are brutally enforced throughout schooling. That's why most LGBTIQ+ folks spend their formative years completely traumatised.

@@T0ddles Looking at what my own kids have been told at a school they went to.... let me say this my eldest ended up extremely confused because comments made by teachers and visitors because of there views that apparently turned to finger pointing. I stand by the comment that you dont tell or suggest to a child that they are in the wrong body because children will indeed believe anything because they don't know any better. To put this into perspective there was a child in the uk not so long back that had a sex change operation in there teen year.... then when he/she left school and went into the real world.. they then tried to sue the NHS because of they sex change op they had claiming they were to young to make that decision in the first place.. That person lost the case.... and now is stuck with that change. If that doesn't explain how vulnerable kids are then I dont know what does.

@@T0ddles Bullshit.

What truth? I don't disagree with much of what he says but what's this truth your talking about?

@@AnthonyMonaghan And not one person agrees with you, read the room.

@@winstonsmithsoul Agrees or in your case disagrees with what? I asked a question. The usual response would be an answer. So, what truth? By the way, life isn't a popularity contest. There's little to gain from seeking the approval of others. As you were.

And suggesting as a man he has no right to hold an opinion. Eh she knew she was interviewing him he did get invited.

Typical of BBC

it's a trial.

Like seriously no, the job of an interviewer is not to give anyone a platform, but to ask critical questions! The point of an interview is, that the interviewed has to defend him- or herself!

@@nogroth1 'You can't compare concentration camps to transgender activists' isn't a critical question - it's a demand. Needless to say, he demolished her.

I realise that transphobes don't care about facts (part and parcel of being a bigot, I guess) but somebody actually looked into the whole Tavistock thing and guess what? twitter.com/NyssaDogFriend/status/1229784877299589126 It's scaremongering bollocks!

@What's the point. Except even with that, there's still no confirmation as to whether the resignations had anything to do with the "mass resignations". All we have is one person writing for a right-wing website (basically a posh version of Breitbart) saying that trans kids need therapy... which they do, it's just that they need actual therapy, not "gender critical" therapy, aka conversion therapy

Oh, and that one guy? No experience of working with children or trans children, and he resigned because an independent review said he was full of shit. www.theguardian.com/society/2019/feb/23/child-transgender-service-governor-quits-chaos twitter.com/chong_maggii/status/1155597328117653506 Whoops!

@J and M She's bigoted towards transphobes? What a shame. I guess she should be more politically correct in future.

I'd actually say that as a journalist she is doing exactly what she ought to be doing when facing someone being criticised, and that is to "play the part" of those doing the criticising, so he can answer the accusations. Where it falls down horribly is trying to condense it all into five minutes, which stops the actual discussion from happening. It reduces it to just angry questions and truncated answers.

So what you're saying is...or so you're not seriously suggesting that..... The interviewer twisting the subject to suit their agenda. Biased bollocks from the get go

@@highdownmartin Yes exactly what I'm saying, brainwashed by their own belief system.

Who cares. He's a nasty leftist who's getting bitten by his own. The irony is delicious.

@@Useaname @User Name The true irony is that he's invited for an interview, but can't speak. 3 things here: First, what's the point of this? It's like I'm inviting you to my birthday party... And as soon as you start to dance I stop the music, As soon as you speak to someone I interrupt by calling them As soon as you go for a drink, I make sure there's only salty water. What the f@ck is that?! If you come to my party I would make sure you enjoy it, because this is what a party is suppose to be. The point of an national journalist interviewer is to ask pertinent questions and listening carefully to the answers of their invited guests. Secondly, no matter your beliefs on the subject, watching this and thinking it was well done, it's a failure on your understanding of what democracy is. It is democracy that gave LGBT the ability to voice up, without democracy there would be no "coming out", no law to protect this minority, but only shame and pain for them because they fail to be "normal" like the majority of the population. This kind of interview only increases the hate that some people have for the LGBT community. If democracy starts vary on the circumstances and who speaks, this can backfire with extreme violence... in the street. It is the same reason why you will find some looters among the BLM. It is the same reason why crime against LGBT are increasing. And thirdly, speaking with arguments is more fruitful than turning your back and call people names juste because they don't agree with you. Your sayings and your actions are contributing to make this world a worst or better place to live in. I wish you well.

One of the worst interviews I’ve ever watched, she was a disgrace and constantly using Godwins Law to prove her silly point.

Ben She didn’t give a shit. This interview has actually made me despise her.

Ben What I hate about the Liberal-Leftist Elite is that they have the monopoly (in their own minds) about what is allowed to be said. It doesn’t matter what the subject is about, if you disagree with or challenge their “beliefs” which ultimately they would like to force us to adopt, they immediately give you a label - homophobe, racist, misogynist..... No ifs or buts, if you dare to have your own opinion you will be given the label that they deem fit. So here’s one that will almost certainly make them allocate me a label: I don’t understand the whole thing about non-binary gender perception but, if someone genuinely believes they are neither then that is their prerogative but should the rest of the world have to “adjust” to their thinking? Sam Smith is a classic case - first he came out as gay and now he is neither a man nor a woman in his mind. From the outside of his world he’s a man who is gay. Inside his world he wishes to be known as “they”. Does that refer to him and her as a non-binary couple living in the same brain because when I was at school “they” referred to the plural of ‘person’.

She was soft on his harrassing of a trans woman (only reason he didn't go to prison was because he agreed to pay legal costs if she dropped the charges) and his silencing of the press via legal threats (PinkNews reported on the database of gay conversion therapists - illegal in Ireland - and he bullied them because he knew they couldn't afford to waste costs defending the truth they published)

Some might even say toxic hahaha

Yeah, asking questions, actually providing evidence of Linehan being a stupid piece of shit, challenging him on his bigotry... I AM OFFENDED BY THIS

@@richardpreston7333 How an interview should work is the interviewer asks a question and the person gives their full response and then the interviewer follows up by challenging their statement or asking them if they want to clarify it for the viewers. It shouldn't work like: Interviewer asks question, person responds then gets cut off by the interviewer getting mad then the person trying to defend themselves then to get cut off again and then the interviewer moves on to the next accusatory question.

@@coolsmile8414 God, I love the tone policing you transphobes keep pulling. "Getting mad", "accusatory question"... how DARE she point out that he has a history of harrassment! How DARE she call him out on comparing trans people to Nazis, especially when Nazis held back trans research/acceptance by destroying years of research! Clearly it's HER fault that Linehan was exposed as a bully and a fraud hiding behind feminism!

You mean like how every interview about a controversial topic is ever handled. Do you not watch political interviews on TV? This is the standard and had been for about 30years.

Agree completely ! As a fairly moderate ,straight man .. I think its quite sad that the era of genuine sexual equality for women ..( assuming we ever got there ) lasted for such a tiny period of history , before men ..dressed as women swept back in and crushed their rights and effectively making them third class citizens below men , and men dressed as women ! It's insanity .. and the fact this comes from people who identify as "leftist " " progressive" and speak of " social justice" is as bizzare as it is ironic !

Yet many of the men who support women's rights also wish to legislate away your right to choose. I've always been a defender of women, but I have also defended the rights of trans people, which I fail to see a conflict between the two. Most gay people know they're gay as very young children, though they may not possess the wherewithal to articulate the feeling. I, then, don't see how one might feel one's inhabiting the wrong gender from a young age.

Because we live in a democracy ?

Shes a moron. I'm not a female or middle eastern yet I still have my opinions on female genital mutilation. That's such fucktarded logic she has, especially for a presenter.

And being a woman has absolutely nothing to do with this debate anyway 😂

Yup, she pretty much said he's a "toxic" male. His Nazi comment was right on - the Trans supporting doctrine employs fascist tactics to enforce their aganda. Crush dissent, terrorise and silence opposition.

Its completely ludicrous. It's like saying I wouldn't want to be treated by a doctor for cancer unless the doctor himself had had cancer.

an interview like this is supposed to be hostile

@@cardigan3000 no its not its meant to allow the speaker invited the right to answer questions not for the interviewer to talk over the replies

@@firebyrd437 but seriously linehan is a controversial figure he has accused people of terrible things - he is obviously going to have his views interrogated

@@cardigan3000 no he's pointed out some of the terrible things that are happening to children, giving drugs meant for prostrate cancer as puberty blockers in children is wrong, an adult can chose to do this by basing their decision on the ability to understand the risks they are under taking and even then a fair number of those regret what they have done and de transition, yesterday was detransition day This idea that your child must want to be the opposite sex because they want to wear the stereotypical clothing associated with it or indeed toys that are deemed masculine and feminine is not a basis for body dismorphia, if you had watched jazz the reality TV show that followed a little boy who wanted to be a girl you would see the very concerns that many people do. Jazz was deemed by his parents to want to be a girl because he liked being dressed as a girl and doing 'girlie' activities and was started on puberty blockers when he was a child before fully transitioning medically into a trans woman as a teenager, when he said to his parents things would be better when he married and had children, none of the adults who had made the decisions for him told him he will never have children if he transitioned they obviously didn't think that was an important issue

@@firebyrd437 he also says that anyone who disagrees with him is complicit in rape culture - if you make those kind of inflammatory remarks then obviously you are going to get these kind of interviews

This woman is awful and has obviously been told to follow the script at the time. Woeful.

>they challenged his ideas rather than give him a soapbox to say what ever he wants REEEE BBC IS BIASED

@@ScruffyFox These are the same people that start wanking every time Andrew Neil grills a flustered Lib Dem.

Classic Liberal agenda

@@ScruffyFox challenged his ideas? Nope she shouted over him, reminiscent of brown shirts

The BBC is impartial in the sense that it doesn't support any political party, it is not obligated to sycophantically agree with everyone's opinion. Imagine being this deluded.

As an illogical dreamer, I came to the same conclusion.

Chomsky refused to give interviews if they were going to be just two minute sound bites. The issues he was dealing with could not be explored in a few minutes.

You can discuss it, but you won't be able to say the last word, because it's becoming a mysterious myth.

@SuperVHSchannel As you may be aware, in his extended essay "On Liberty" the doyen of Classical Liberalism, John Stuart Mill, rightly said about freedom of expression that no subject is ever closed and discussion never ends. Any claim to absolute knowledge or understanding is both arrogant and wrong, especially when it comes to moral issues. Calling people names is not a rational argument. In fact, on this particular topic the discussion hasn't even got started. Shouting people down is what bigots do.

@@briansimons9472 absolutely 👏

Couldn’t get the irony, cause ppl pretty much say that seriously

Especially when the interviewer is using Linehan as a kind of trampoline to reach what she thinks is the moral high ground.

Wtf are you on about? It's the duty of a journalist to fact check and hold their interviewee accountable to their own words. If she didn't call him out on his claims, he would just be allowed to bark his narrative as if it were fact. How can viewers become informed if the only information presented is the ramblings of a transphobe? These issues don't exist in a vacuum. Look to the scientific consensus, and listen to the doctors.

@@Jorpl_ he was only trying to say what he thinks and raise awareness. He doesnt do this in a way of my opinion is right no one else is. He just couldn't get that message through because when he tried to explain his point fully he got interrupted all the time. Now I need to know if someone kept interrupting you midway through your conversation you wouldn't You be slightly annoyed thats why people are commenting about this journalist. To be fair though crappy journalism is pretty normal now it's rare to see a journalist let you explain fully and then raise counter arguments to that person's opinion not interrupt multiple times in between.

John O'Reilly I don’t think he’s a transphobe, i think it’s more about raising issues around this whole debate that are important, untested drugs can be a serious issue especially when it comes to hormones and children. These points should be raised so this issue is balanced and actions are considered from all involved, there’s no hate speech here - just the interception of common sense.

@@heron6462 came onto say what a great comment Aerodeon had made then found yours which was even better, outstanding, short and really, really funny.👏👏👏

Womansplaining.

shes correcting him, are you saying you should let someone continue lying and spreading bs?

she brought up his quotes and questioned his motive, to shut him down when he tried to explain. thats not the same as correcting bs. surely if someone says something you think is bad, you would want them to show themselves to be bad so they can be judged for what they say. i find it hard to know whether to side with him 100% after this interviewer didnt allow him to speak

@@Tez321 transphobic rhetoric is widespread. letting someone continue to spread it isn’t showing them to be mad when a lot of people are just going to sympathise. and yes i will use the word transphobic. he’s basically gaslighting people in saying they don’t know if they should have hormone blockers. blockers that will alleviate dysphoria, something that SERIOUSLY damages mental health. this is an ignorant take. important to note blockers in the long term will not have significant negative effects. preventing their use will have longstanding changes on a person’s body and longstanding damage to their mental health.

@@Nobody-fb7ni You are the one who is lying. It is known that puberty blockers have life-long damaging effects. Would you prescribe kids heroin just because they said they wanted it?

Nope it hasn't aged well considering that Cass report stating the Tavistock was a danger to children, pretty much exactly what she mocked Graham for saying. Graham's an absolute hero. I'm so grateful as a woman to have him fighting for us

@@nee2905 This is the thing, your argument against it being a danger to children moves past that, your bigotry against transgender adults can be seen under the surface, it has nothing to do with what's best for people, you just want transgender people to not be able to live in society. That's what your true agenda is, you just don't like transgender people, otherwise you wouldn't say things like "I'm so grateful as a woman to have him fighting for us". That's the reality behind the situation, you are a bigot through and through. Let's call a spade a spade, as the anti trans people like to say.
