@legaltweetz Of course you are human beings. No one is debating that. The general public simply don’t wish to be forced into taking part in your “gender performance” delusions. Humans cannot change sex. Keep males out of female-only spaces. No debate necessary.

@BBCNews Hiya BBC. They’re not girls… you know this, we know this and anyone who thinks about it for more than 3 seconds also knows this. The word you are looking for is…. ✨BOYS✨

Transgender girls told to leave Girlguiding groups by September bbc.in/4d2PVi5

@WomenReadWomen This will not resonate. Doing blackface instantly makes her credibility plummet. Also the troons don’t see this as an equivalent.

“I am painted black on the outside. I identify as black. So why can't I preside over the anti-racism commission? Why can't I take care of this agenda? Because I am not black.” Politician Fabiana Bolsonaro protests the selection of trans-identified male Erika Hilton as president of the Women’s Rights Committee. Hilton, whose real name is Felipe Santos Silva, attempted to have a woman imprisoned for 25 years for calling him a man. He lodged five criminal counts of “social racism” complaints against feminist activist Isabela Cêpa. Last year, Cêpa was granted full refugee protections by the European Union Agency for Asylum.

@Hellar_eal253 @Ashworth101 Why wouldn’t you want women to have single sex spaces, like the men do?

@Ashworth101 "Single-sex exception" doesn't equal "mandatory symmetry." The Equality Act doesn't contain the rule you're asserting. Perhaps if you understood the law you might realise that? 🤣

I can confirm that @marksandspencer are still discriminating against their female customers. Their store in Shoreham-by-sea has a clearly labelled ‘Men’s fitting room’ and a room labelled ‘Try On’ which can be used by women AND men.

@GussieGrips SNL was very funny. And this image of spunk for milk emblazoned on two black men in black liberation t-shirts is also funny… for people on 4chan perhaps.

@baddiegesserit Everything *is* fair game in comedy, but aim’s to make it funny. Which SNL didn’t and this does - it’s poking fun at Tourette’s and sanctimony. I disagree it’s joking about racial oppression, which I thought we’d agreed to disagree about slurs and tics anyway?

SNL just can’t out funny those taught about Tourette’s by John Davidson. (Thanks, I)

@RobbieTravers @AjaTheEmpress @MagiGibson I think John has no control over his tics and deserves empathy. Do you think Michael and Delroy had no control over the racial slurs shouted at them at the BAFTAs and deserve empathy?

@baddiegesserit @AjaTheEmpress @MagiGibson Do you think John Davidson should be shown no empathy? Do you think John Davidson has control over his tics?

I see the billionaire celebrities are still acting like living through one night of Johns disability was their Battle of the Somme. Silly uneducated people. Anyway heres what John has to say. #BAFTAs

@RobbieTravers @AjaTheEmpress @MagiGibson Wealthy people have access to therapy so we should show them no empathy. In fact, we should shout racial slurs at them with impunity because they can handle it with all that money they worked hard for. Cool story bro.

@AjaTheEmpress @MagiGibson I don’t want to hear a single word from celebrities dining in Michelin star restaurants about the “hardship” they endured whilst Mr Davidson has spent a life being beaten, attacked & ostracised for his condition. I’m sure they can spend some of their billions on a therapist…

@NAL3765 @ThePosieParker She’s a racist, you’re wasting your breath

Inclusion used to be about disability ramps and access for people with disabilities to be able to work and have as much liberation as possible to live a full and complete life. Since "inclusion" started to include race, religion, sexuality and so on it's really pushed the very people it was created for to the margins. Same as it ever was.

@beepbou @AfriKoids_Only @Heavy_Boab Saying the s-word after you shout the n-word at them. He did it eventually but only AFTER the negative publicity. If you’re capable of saying N!GGER, then SORRY should be easy, right?

@baddiegesserit @AfriKoids_Only @Heavy_Boab I will say what accountability do u want people with tourettes to take though

Delroy Lindo called it “a classic case of something that could be very negative becoming very positive.” For families living with Tourette’s, this past week has not felt positive. Since the BAFTAs and what happened with John Davidson, I have been arguing that my son deserves to leave his home and be included in society like everyone else. I have had to explain, again and again, that Tourette’s is neurological. That tics are involuntary. That coprolalia is not belief, not intent, not character. Yet the conversation keeps circling back to whether people like John, and by extension my son, should simply stay home to avoid offending anyone. Stay home. Remove yourself. Do not attend events. Do not exist publicly in case your disability makes someone uncomfortable. That is the reality this week. This is not abstract for me. My son already navigates anxiety and the constant fear of being misunderstood. Inclusion cannot mean only if your disability is convenient. It cannot mean you are welcome as long as you do not embarrass us. My son deserves to leave the house. He deserves to attend events. He deserves to exist in public. And I am exhausted from having to argue that basic truth.

"You want to celebrate our art, but you won't protect it." - Jayme Lawson calls out the #BAFTAs slip up at the #NAACPImageAwards

@AfriKoids_Only @Heavy_Boab Black people should just get over it. People with Tourette’s on the other hand should be coddled away from any accountability.

@Heavy_Boab Referencing Delroy without showing the tiniest bit of the empathy for him that you want for your son was definitely a choice

@JayGee47505179 @latsot No one seems to understand nuance anymore. They just think black people are devoid of human emotions.

@latsot If you were in a room of your peers on a globally broadcast event, and someone from the audience yelled the most offensive slur at you, your feelings would probably be rather different. This wasn’t just walking down the street and being yelled at by a crazy homeless.

Millionaire actors aren't hurt by hearing words. They're fine. They're absolutely fine.

@june1416763 @HannahEBeachler Good for you

@baddiegesserit @HannahEBeachler I would absolutely shrug it off if the speaker had Tourette's--that's a no-brainer.

I keep trying to write about what happened at the BAFTAs, and I can't find the words. The situation is almost impossible, but it happened 3 times that night, and one of the three times was directed at myself on the way to dinner after the show.

@jk_rowling We love you, Jo! 💖

Yes.

Seeing normally intelligent people unite to defend the seeming indefensible this week, I now see how people can see males in female prisons, men in girl's locker rooms, etc. & say 'This is fine'. It's a hierarchy of priorities for everyone involved. Who means the least to you?

@MAPTA01 @BlkBird444 If he can’t go out in public, what was he doing at the BAFTAs, Mike?

@BlkBird444 You don’t see the irony that you have your own awards show and you think you’re more oppressed than the guy who can’t go out in public to even represent the one film about people like him to get this much exposure ever ?

I was today years old when I learned about the American Black Film Festival Honors (award show). Congratulations to Ryan Coogler and his wife, Zinzi Coogler 🥇

Spirit Tunnel got nothin’ on #DelroyLindo!

@FondOfBeetles A slur like N!GGER doesn’t describe a threat. It is the threat. And the nervous system doesn’t parse intent. It parses pattern. Some patterns have centuries of data.

@FondOfBeetles Language is symbolic–words point to things, they aren’t the things. Except some words. For those, the symbol and the wound are the same object.

Some thoughts. At school, people are taught that nerves are how to make your body do stuff. This typically includes agency - you choose to do that thing. But also that your body does stuff without brain input, but that is all buried away inside as heart beats and peristalsis. And that you can be made to kick your leg by bashing your knee with a hammer, and this is a mysterious thing called a “reflex”. And that, maybe if you went to school a long time ago, if you apply electricity to a frog’s leg muscle, it will also kick. So nerves are pretty much cemented with motor response. And then they see diseases like MS and Parkinson’s, and it’s reinforced by the changes in motor activity (paralysis, tremors etc) they observe. So I think people can more easily grasp motor tics. Most people experience, as some point in their lives, that unexpected jolt of a leg or a twitchy eye. And even though it’s not the same etiology, we all get how sometimes, something misfires and a muscle goes off. Regardless, most people understand verbalised tics in the form of grunts etc. Instead of your leg going off, it’s your tongue and throat and lips going off, and that feels comparable. Where they lose track is how the brain drives different verbalisations. They don’t ask: why a grunt and not a bark or whistle or moan? But even if they did, I reckon they’d still understand that the brain is simply ticcing “make noise” and is ultimately just like kicking a leg. Speech is a highly complex activity. It takes coordination between multiple tissues/structures to be intelligible, and almost everyone speaks only what they choose when they choose. It’s simply unreal for some to understand that simple tics like a leg kicking, through semi-complex tics like blowing raspberries, can be as complex as intelligible speech. Let alone understanding how the words that come out are the words that have fed into the ticc happening in the first place.
