Piers Morgan slams 'trans activist mob' as Macy Gray says 'surgery doesn't
make a woman' Macy Gray has been dubbed "transphobic" after she told Piers Morgan on his TalkTV show: "Just because you go change your [body] parts, doesn’t make you a woman, sorry." 6.50 in vid below
Broadcaster India Willoughby wrote: “Sad and desperate. This is why it’s virtually impossible for anyone trans to work in British media. Easy to dehumanise a group when they’re not represented in the office.” https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-e...-b2115786.html https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/...ivist-27398873 |

Whatever your individual opinions on this subject (and everyone is entitled to one), I think it's important to understand that Piers' ratings are really struggling, so if you have genuine fears or questions around trans people, just know that your fears are being monetised to save a struggling career.
I understand the free speech angle, but this is the guy who walked off his own show to deny someone their free speech. I do find the new career path of constantly minimising a severely at risk minority, extremely ghoulish. It has caused deaths, and will cause many more before you all eventually pretend you always accepted trans people in about 20-30 years time.

She just answered Piers questions, she barely said anything really just that being a girl and growing up as a girl into a woman isn't the same as getting surgery to look like a woman, how can anyone argue against that?

Yeah, that's why I didn't really go into anything beyond offering a comment on the monetisation of wheeling people out on tv to talk trash.

Why doesn't Ernest Owens do what they want to do, and let the other Twitter users decide for themselves if they want to not follow Macy Gray anymore.
One thing I can't stand about Twitter is when people try to form a mob trying to dictate to people how they should feel. But with Macy Gray's initial comment, it just feels unnecessary tbh. I don't get why people can't just try to be civil with each other.

I just hate cancel culture though so seeing someone on Twitter trying to do that pissed me off. But from what Niamh described, it does seem like people have overreacted to Macy Gray's comment.

What do you mean by no rights though? What rights don't trans people have already?

That's exactly what it is though, Niamh. If a person believes themselves to be a woman or a man, goes through years of hormones and treatment, and people turn around and tell them that they aren't what they think they are, then that is absolute denial of existence.

A guy on twitter calling for cancellation isn't equal to the hour of hour of Galahad tv shows where segments are created specifically to talk crap about an at risk minority.

Piers tweeted: "UPDATE: Thursday's @piersmorgan with @usainbolt was our highest-rated show for 3 weeks, beating Sky News & GB News.
"In our 28 shows to date, we've beaten @SkyNews 15 times (53%) and @GBNews 21 times (75%). If this is ratings 'failure', I can't wait to see what success looks like!" |
