Disagreement on fundamental issues 'not hate speech'

  • Sky News contributor Catherine McGregor says “disagreement on fundamental matters is not hate speech” after author J.K Rowling came under fire for comments made on Twitter regarding transgender people.
    Ms Rowling re-tweeted and commented on an article which read “1.8 billion girls, women and gender non-binary persons menstruate”.
    She said “People who menstruate? “I'm sure there's a word for those people, Someone help me out. Womben? Wimpund? Woomud?”.
    “I think her position is entirely reasonable,” Ms McGregor said.
    “The simple fact of it is this, she has basically said that she has taken umbrage at a term -- people who menstruate - and said isn’t there a word for that, namely women.
    Ms McGregor, who labels herself a transsexual, told Sky News she finds gender dysphoria “distressing and unless you’ve lived through it, it is very hard to explain”.
    “None of us ever thought we claimed the title of womanhood, by adjusting our physical identity to adjust to our feelings as a matter of sheer survival.
    “As dispiriting as this cancel culture is becoming, it is actually amusing to watch the left devour itself.
    “Because the people with the most skin in the game are gender critical feminists, who write from a theoretical and abstract position.
    “Their slogan is we will not be erased, but they insist on erasing anyone who doesn’t conform to their linguistic gymnastics and their version of reality.””

    Those that scream "hate speech" are the most hateful, and those who scream "racism" are the most racist.

I respect your views and appreciate that you are (as a transexual yourself) aware of all sides of the issues/disputes and in recognition when people (yes Im not falling for the politically correct titles) are behaving in extreme ways and taking extreme measures to push their own (toxic as you say) personal agendas. Thank you, thank you and well said. God Bless you.

    When I had to get my birth certificate from NSW I was given the option of removing my father from the certificate! Not only would I have removed my father but his mother and father would not have been my grandparents. We are now permitted to change the truth of history. I always learn alot from listening to Catherine who is a very intelligent truthfully objective person.

    • @LittleKitty22
      @LittleKitty22 Před 4 lety

      Here in the UK, one apparently now has the option of not just removing the father, but adding anyTHING as "second parent" or whatever they call it now!
      There will soon be a lot of people unknowingly committing incest because they are being denied knowledge of their own parentage, background and family history!
      And there will be even more people who have to take DNA tests to establish what race they are because, since they are being denied knowledge of their fathers, they are also being denied knowledge of what race and cultural background they are! And that is abuse of the highest order - I had to go through this because I was being denied knowledge of my real origins and had instead been fed a lie, I can assure you it's a terrible thing to go through not knowing who and what you are and needing a test to tell you such basic information.

    Offence is taken -- not given.
    You can´t blame others for the emotions you create within yourself.
    Saying ¨You have offended me,¨ bestows a power on the other that they don´t actually have, and makes you a victim.
    Understanding this is a big step towards emotional maturity.

It will help them understand why they get offended so easily and help them understand and better deal with natural human behaviour like criticism and only when they understand themselves they will live a happier life stress free not melting down when the ABC and BBC isn’t manipulating all of the country’s information .

    For all those here- I have reported 'Arroe Du'Carlion, several times for personally attacking me here in this comment section, with vulgar and filthy judgements. For those of you who were unfortunate enough to view those comments to me, I apologise. I am also embarrassed at the indecency of those comments. They appear to have been removed, thankfully. It is pretty sad, that people cant express differing opinions or experiences, respectfully, without being personally attacked, by someone else who is delusional in their thinking that they are somehow justified in speaking that way to others. Everyone has a right to an opinion, without personal persecution. I hope this individual, will learn some manners and respect. God Bless all.

      Sorry to hear that, I get a lot of abuse on CZcams too, just for stating my opinion - or not even that, I've even been abused on a video about skincare where I commented with a few skincare tips. There's a lot of unemployable mental cases about who spend their days in mommy's basement abusing people online, especially women - because they know they can't get a woman.

You should not be abused dear one for simply talking about skin care-that is terrible-I understand people can be quite opinionated about political and often religious issues, but even then abuse is no excuse!!! You take care, and know that God Loves you precious one :)

    J.k Rowling bent over backwards to please the very same people who are now tearing her down. She might want to remember this next time she buys into an exaggerated sense of relevancy,she's an author, a very successful author and has been generous with her money,giving to various charities, I doubt she knows and loves many Trans, everyone who wants to be relatable and relevant has many friends who are perceived as a minority group, be they black,trans,Asians or muslim.she may know one or two in passing or a deeper level,but regardless if all women are to be believed and all women's stories are relevant,why is hers not?
