At a time when the true horrors of the gender identity cult and its profoundly negative effects on children and young people are slowly being revealed to the general public, which are increasingly rejecting it, actor David Tennant decide to do the complete opposite, show his idiocy and come out clearly on the side of the gender identity cult. Not only that, but at an ‘LGBT’ awards ceremony he declared that Kemi Badenoch, a high profile defender of women’s rights and a critic of the gender cult should ‘disappear’.
Mr Tennant quite rightly in my view got an avalanche of criticism over his words. Some pointed out that it was petulant and a little off for him to be wishing for Ms Badenoch, a woman who has worked her way up and has earned the right to criticise the gender cult or anything else for that matter, to disappear. Others claimed that one of Tennant’s children had trooned out as a they/them ‘non-binary’ and that the family had gone along with this idiocy instead of fighting back against it and that this is why Tennant is now such an advocate for the gender cult.
Whatever Tennant said and no matter the reason why he said what he said, it doesn’t reflect well on the man. Anyone with an ounce of awareness can see that the gender cult is being challenged not because of any degree of bigotry on the part of those who are making the criticisms, but because many of us can see the damage that is being done to women and children’s rights by this cult.
Julie Burchill has written her customary good piece on the subject of Tennant’s troon tantrum and as usual she’s hit many of the nails of this story squarely on their heads.
What Tennant said is also profoundly, mind-bogglingly stupid. Someone could just about get away – the climate of misogyny now being as rabid as it has been since they stopped burning ‘witches’ – with wishing that JK Rowling didn’t exist. But one of the few black women in public life? Can we only imagine the squealing outrage that Owen Jones and his cronies would whip up on X if, say, Laurence Fox had said that he wished Diane Abbott didn’t exist? Yet if one identifies as a Good Guy – as Tennant so laughably does – it’s just another way of being inclusive and caring to wish that a black woman you disagree with could somehow be vaporised.
Ms Burchill makes the very valid point about the hypocrisy of the leftie Establishment. The usual suspects would be up in arms if Mr Tennant had said anyone other than a Black female conservative should disappear. Because, in this Establishment’s eyes Mr Tennant supports the ‘correct’ pro-trans views, he can get away with stuff that would otherwise have the Establishment left whining like a WWII air raid siren.
As Ms Burchill points out Mr Tennant is not unique in his verbal knobwittery. He’s part of a long list of actors and actresses who have weighed into commenting on the world of politics and society without being all that well informed on what they are commenting about. We’ve had about two decades of those in the acting profession mouthing off about stuff they don’t understand because they are commenting on ‘the current thing’ and often looking a bit silly for doing so. They live in bubbles where frankly dangerous ideas such as the cult of gender identity are not challenged by their peers and thus they come to believe that their way is correct and everyone else is a bigot.
Ms Burchill added:
Actors often attempt to insert themselves into politics, usually making seven sorts of horse’s asses of themselves along the way. But there’s something particularly pathetic and pitiable about a performer – a person paid to preen and pretend – taking up the trans-cudgels.
Tennant prances around acting as something he’s not – a Scot playing a Cockney, a vicious little lickspittle playing a Nice Guy – just the way his imaginary friends do. We don’t hear the phrase ‘The Politics Of Envy’ much these days. But it doesn’t take a great leap of the imagination to feel the inadequacy of a white man who has spent his life being handsomely rewarded for capering around next to a black woman like Mrs Badenoch, who has made her way in life through sheer hard work: real work, not sitting in a make-up chair memorising lines written by someone with a brain.
Ms Burchill’s take down of Mr Tennant and his attack on Ms Badenoch is an excellent read and can be found via the link below.
