David Tennants child is going to end up posted on social media regardless, unless they are supposed to lock them away at home

Again Smileless what is your problem with it

You tagged me when I wasn't talking to you so I think it is fair you answer why

No they're not.

I doubt many people knew he had children, who his wife is or were even interested in the slightest until he has turned this into a campaign using an innocent child for publicity purposes.

Child exploitation comes in different forms and this child is not of an age where he can make an informed decision about whether or not he should be used for this purpose.

Well yes that's true Galaxy.

I wasn't aware your 11 year old son had been at pride, wearing rainbow wings and a frilly dress and you'd posted his photograph on social media VS.

As I posted earlier though, I didn't think you'd see anything wrong with this.

I couldn't care less what a child wears, pretending a child is neither male or female is something different, or social affirmation in terms of 'being a different gender' - as I mentioned latest information shows not enough evidence re harm/no harm. I dont particularly like talking about specific children so I would rather talk generally if you see what I mean.

^Seems all good to me^ yes I thought it would so there's really no point in discussing it any further.

If there is a problem with a child being at Pride and wearing a dress and fairy wings, I'd like it explained

My children have been at Pride... What am I doing wrong?

I quite like being called a sheep, makes a nice change from a far right bigot .

I'd agree with you Galaxy but don't want to be accused of being a sheep .

Please can you stop being so rude crossstitchfan.

A hate campaign has anyone said they hate DT? Just because a lot of people are in agreement about a particular issue Crossstitchfan doesn't mean they're like a lot of sheep.

My 7 year old grandson has hated his willy since he could first speak at age 2. He has two other brothers who do not feel the same. He looks exceedingly female with a delicate little face. He likes wearing female clothes and female toys. His friends at school call him by a girls name he chose. My son and daughter are supporting him whilst being baffled by his choices. They have neither supported or denied his thoughts and actions.

Read kirkcubbin's post @ 14.25 VS. You may not see any harm being done but I do.

Can you explain please?

Being at Pride, dressing up... Seems all good to me, it's a great day out?

^What's wrong with any child wearing dresses or wings^ that isn't the issue though is it VS.

What's the issue then? Being at Pride?

I think the mother is a lot to blame. She refers to the boy as 'they/them' and has paraded him on social media dressed in rainbow wings and frilly rainbow dresses at pride events. He has just turned 11 and will be easily indoctrinated at this age. What must his classmates think!

What's wrong with any child wearing dresses or wings?

Children at school gravitate towards their interests, even as young as 4, they make their own choices on that one... I applaud parents who let them be themselves rather than telling them "boys do this and girls do that". That's indoctrination

He's not off my Christmas card list, her voting record on the majority of issues is deplorable such as voting against laws to promote equality and human rights, against improving water quality and most other environmental issues, against everything about constitutional reform, I won't go on but look it up if you are interested

I don't agree with not allowing trans employees to self identify in the workplace or for opposing gender neutral toilets in public places. I would only agree with the latter if women's toilets were to be made gender neutral leaving men's toilets unaffected, which is sometimes the case resulting in far fewer
women only facilities.

With regard to the rest of your post suelld the devil is in the detail. I have my own concerns about people being able to transition 'too early' and am particularly concerned about self identifying and the ease with which GRC maybe obtained.

I share her concerns that gender affirming healthcare is a new form of conversion therapy and can believe that clinicians are fearful of giving honest and clinical advice to a child because if they do not automatically affirm and medicalise a child's new gender they will be labelled transphobic.

One only has to look at any of the trans gender threads here on GN to see how often accusations of transphobia and exclusion are bandied about.

I also agree that social transition should be banned in British schools and there does seem to be an epidemic of transgender children.

Transwomen are men. The cass report has raised serious concerns about what has been happening to children, and social transition is now not seen as a neutral act. Many many countries are rssing concerns about non evidence based treatment of these children. Single sex spaces are important to many women, so concern about gender neutral facilities is also valid.

flappergirl “We all agree that transwomen should be free to live their lives as they wish, without harm or prejudice. As women we understand that only too well.”

I agree, but the problem is that many actually Don’t!!!!

I actually had no idea who she was so looked her up and having done that…I think I’m on David Tennant’s side here…

“ As Minister of State for Equalities, Badenoch opposed plans by the Financial Conduct Authority to allow trans employees to self-identify in the workplace, and opposed gender-neutral toilets in public buildings.

In 2021, Vice News received leaked audio from 2018 in which Badenoch mocked gay marriage and referred to trans women as "men".

In 2023, Badenoch gave a speech before the House of Commons in which she announced regulations stripping the ability of transgender migrants from certain countries to acquire documents in the UK to match those brought from their countries of origin. This was stated as being due to these countries allowing trans people to transition "too easily".[88] Badenoch went on to announce the government's plans to move forward on a conversion therapy ban, while saying that gender affirming healthcare for young people who question their gender was "a new form of conversion therapy" designed to turn gay children transgender, further stating that a draft bill would address the concern that clinicians are "fearful of giving honest clinical advice to a child because if they do not automatically affirm and medicalise a child's new gender they will be labelled transphobic". She further announced plans to ban social transition in British schools, claiming the existence of an "epidemic" of children being told they are transgender as the reason.”

I'll never watch him again either Beverley I don't think my stomach would be strong enough.

This odious luvvie does not just think that a woman, or anyone else who disagrees with him, should shut up. Like the majority of TRAs, he seems to think it's OK to incite or threaten violence. Only last week there were photos posted of him wearing a T-shirt with the so-called trans flag and wording that said terfs would “have to go through him” in relation to the rights he seems to think his son doesn’t have and that he’s supposedly being prevented from having by pesky wimmin standing up for themselves.

There is no such thing as as trans child - any child who claims to be non-binary has been groomed to believe so.

Personally, I find it incredibly difficult to separate someone's artistic output from who they are as a person. It's true - when someone shows you who they are, believe them.

I won't watch Tennant any more. No longer watch Dr Who anyway due to R T Davies' appalling scripts and his views, including trying to push those views on young children. Ecclestone was by far the better Dr Who, but has stated that he won't consider returning to the role unless RT Davies & his TRA pals are sacked.

How can that not be viewed as child abuse kirkcubbin .
