@salltweets Saying there are only two sexes is factually incorrect. Turner syndrome (45,X), Kleinfelter syndrome (47,XXY), mosaicism (45,X/46,XY), trisomy X (XXX), genetic chimeras (46,XX/46,XY) and numerous other sex chromosome patterns exist. Facts don’t care about anyone’s feelings.

“For me it’s just common sense, that there should be any suggestion that people aren’t allowed to live the life they want to live & to be with who they want to be with & to express themselves whole heartedly, I mean as long as you’re not hurting anyone else & everyone else just needs to butt out.” David Tennant seemingly has no clue what critics of gender ideology are saying & actually opposing. So let’s make it clear: • First of all, common sense is knowing that there are only two sexes, sex is immutable & plays many vital roles in society, from sexuality to safeguarding to rights to procreation. • Next, no one is suggesting that people can’t live how they want to live. This is a nothing statement. There are, basically, 8 billion ways to live life. As many possibilities are there are humans. The issue is that one group of people has fallen for a lie and wants everyone else to live that lie to some extent as gender ideology is a direct attack on how everyone else lives, from speech to education to how society is structured to rights. • Consenting adults can choose who they want to be in intimate relationships with, that fight has long been won. But gender ideology actually wants to undo that, telling lesbians that they must accept men who claim to be women as lesbians & gay men must accept women who claim to be men as gay men. Now, if being with a person who is lying about their sex is your type, fine. But for everyone else, they also need their rights. Rights to lesbian only spaces & events & rights to gay man only spaces & events, all based in reality. Heterosexual people claiming to be homosexual and then enforcing heterosexuality upon a homosexual group is not progress. • Who is saying people can’t express themselves? Men can wear dresses & makeup if they want. Women can cut their hair short & do whatever they think men do. We’ve all got one life, live it in a way that makes sense to you. But understand: your expression does not change material reality, and is not a free pass to take away other people’s rights. Rights, rights, rights. • Many people are hurt by the ideology David Tennant & the like are pushing. Women’s rights are abolished, LGB people’s rights are dismantled (while simultaneously getting the blame for this nonsense), children’s right to grow up with their body in tact is demolished, and then there is freedom of belief, speech & association which impacts everyone. Don’t believe me? Try not believing in gender ideology & see how much freedom of belief you have in the workplace. Try creating a female only space and see how many men demand access to it, with institutions like human rights commissions backing them. Try being a female athlete missing out on competition because a man decided he is a woman and used his biological physical advantage to destroy your dreams. Just try to imagine that there are more issues in life than how one “identifies”. • Telling people to “butt out” is a clear indication that someone has never once considered how gender ideology plays out in society on a macro scale & why people would be against it, and that he doesn’t actually have empathy for people who are different to him while identifying as someone who does. If you don’t understand what your critics are saying, don’t criticize them until you do. The end.

@danny_robins Any thoughts on Deborah Hyde’s offensive comments about the Irish people @danny_robins ? In 3 series on the supernatural, mostly set in Britain, it takes a case set in Ireland for an ‘expert’ to imply only poor, uneducated, suggestible populations believe in the paranormal

#Uncanny fans - we are back with a BRAND NEW CASE… bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

@dermotheaney @danny_robins This!!

@danny_robins Skeptic Debbie sees it happened in Ireland… oh yes the “highly educated snooty English people” aren’t like that, but in Ireland… oh yeah we’re a “highly suggestible culture” I hope next week we’re back in England and Debs can work a bit harder!! 😂 BRILLIANT episode otherwise

@IanProwse But is this not going to play right into the Tories’ hands though?? I don’t want to vote for him but I can’t bear the thought of another fucking Tory govt 😭😭😭

I often ask people who are critical of Starmer, but still committed to voting Labour, what their red line is with him. What’s the one thing he’d do that’s so outrageously right wing they couldn’t vote for him? Well, surely to god this is it. #Gazagenocide

@LemonSodaHair Do you have an actual hair salon in Brighton?

@amycassy83 @_EvelynHollow I’m a GP and I have pink hair. Where do I fit in? 😂👩🏻‍🎤

@_EvelynHollow To be fair you sound like one of my GPs, so I was at least expecting grey hair

I get this A LOT. What did you all think I looked like? 😂

@ManchanMagan and @Rubberbandits Just listening to your Rewilding podcast re. Hedgehogs. You say a ‘gráinneog’ means little ugly thing. But in Irish, ugly is ‘gránna’ not ‘gráinne’. In Irish, ‘gráinne’ means ‘grain’. So ‘Gráinneóg’ means ‘little grain’.

@danny_robins #uncanny #unclejack Great ep, but what I don’t get is why, if the footsteps happened so predictably and regularly over time, they didn’t just go upstairs, open the door & confront whoever it was, before the whole thing escalated & everything turned crazy 🤷🏼‍♀️

@danny_robins Is there any chance you might add more dates to your live tour? I’m gutted I’ve missed out on your Brighton show 😭 Will you be coming back at least?! 👻👻

@danny_robins @WaterstonesPicc Is this a trick question?

So when I did my book signing at @WaterstonesPicc on Weds for #IntotheUncanny they showed me their haunted room… I shot a video. Who wants to see it? 😱😱😱

@danny_robins Please bring #Uncanny to Brighton 🫣👻

SPOILER ALERT….. 👇👇👇 You can see the photo that we discuss in Case 12 of #Uncanny here: bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0f… 👻👻👻 Don’t look until you have listened to the ep, then let me know what you think you see. You can hear the episode here: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

@danny_robins I wonder why ppl just comment on her pink cardigan… no one mentions a skirt/trousers/shorts/socks/shoes were like? Or how tall/old? I’m #teamsceptic about the footprints, they just look like dust smears 😬 I do want to believe tho! I’ve had a couple of odd experiences 🫣

@susie_dent Use of the word ‘of’ instead of ‘have’…

‘It is what it is’, ‘going forward’, ‘with all due respect’, ‘aw bless’…which phrase or expression would you like banished from the dictionary?

@susie_dent Happy go lucky

A pair of sparrows having a row with their reflections… it was like a scene in Eastenders 😆 #getoutofmypub #sparrows #gardenbirds @BBCSpringwatch @ChrisGPackham @Natures_Voice #nature

@abu_zafar Also… if conflict between the Great Houses could only happen through assassins or Kanly, why were armies like the Sardaukar ever needed?

@abu_zafar Hello! Just discovered #GomJabbar podcast & now addicted 😆 Qu: Does the attack on House Atreides by House Harkonnen at start of Dune not break the 2nd law of the Great Constitution? If so, is this never addressed? Is it bc it is sanctioned by the Emperor himself?

@IanProwse @laura Ahem… typo? 😁

I love this. On Saturday myself & @Laura will fly to our sold out show in the Isle of Mann, others will take the ferry. Some will drive there or maybe get the bus. This fella is sailing himself there and has just set off! ⛵️ 👏👏 🇮🇲 #onehandonthestarryplough
