Exclamation I’m not transphobic, says Strictly contestant Amanda Abbington

Angry trans Twitter pile on now she has deleted all her Twitter



The 49-year-old Sherlock star, who was the first contestant announced for
the BBC celebrity dancing show last week, told her Instagram followers that
she thinks the backlash is over her comments in March about a child
performing a drag act.

In the video, she said: “I’m sorry if you feel like you need to boycott Strictly
for a tweet I made about a drag show but I don’t think 12-year-olds should
be doing overly sexualised drag acts.

“That’s my personal opinion, that’s all. I’m not pushing it on anyone else, I’m
just saying that’s how I feel.

"But my tweet back in March was regarding a 12-year-old who was doing it in
front of adults. And it just upset me because I saw a kid, a little kid, a 12-
year-old, doing something very over-sexualised. And I didn't think it was
right...

"And that was my tweet. I didn't associate that with the trans community, nor
would I associate that with the trans community, because I think they're two
separate things. And I'm not transphobic... I am a firm supporter of the
legitimate trans community."

But some fans were very unhappy with the news as they vowed to switch off
and not watch the 2023 series as a result of her addition. @mettycalfe said:
"Definitely giving it a miss then."

@riverstour said: "There’s as much chance of me watching this year, as there
is of me not buying coffee from Costa." @ellarhapse said: "we won’t be
watching."

good on you Amanda for defending yourself, i believe you


she just voiced her opinion and she has a point tbh, 12 yr olds shouldn't be dressing up as drag acts, that is more something for when you're mature

How did we reach the point where a woman voicing concerns about a child performing a sexualised form of entertainment for adults is the villain?

I don't know but it is scary, and I am glad I am not a parent of young kids having to navigate through all this

Some people on Twitter complain about anything and everything.

I honestly would never justify myself to that type of crowd on the site.

Just had a look on twitter, and it's people of both perspectives arguing. Hope this helps bring blood pressure back to normal for some of you. There is no pile on.

Fair point.

And seriously? What's wrong with a Mother taking her kid out for a walk?

Who did that on here? It's disgusting to cheer on an action like that imo.
