Right-wing agitator Andy Ngo intervenes in the controversy over the UK's decision to block Scotland's recognition of the human rights of trans people #trans #scotland #uk https://www.thenational.scot/news/23290421.right-wing-agitator-andy-ngo-intervenes-scotlands-gender-debate/

@chadloder

Please stop using the term 'Gender Debate'
Trans people's lives are not a debate.
You are just promulgating right-wing fascist shite by using that term.
Like the 'Jewish Question'.
Please don't do it.

@essjaykeys I didn't write the headline.

@chadloder

No, but you parroted it didn't you?

You could have said something entirely different.
Lazy. Do better.

@essjaykeys Fair point. Updated. I usually don't like changing headlines, but you definitely made a good point over the harmful framing

@chadloder

Oh dear.
Neither is the Scottish GRA Reform Bill actually controversial.

Several countries have had self-id for years without any problems.

It has become victim to a right-wing manufactured controversy.

@chadloder

Stop digging, put down the shovel and climb out of the hole.

I know you mean well but,
Because of headlines like 'debate', 'controversy' for years in the UK we have a toxic environment that has just led to the murder of a 16 year old trans girl.
So it's a very raw subject right now.
FFS show some sensitivity!
Do better.

@essjaykeys Stop. The UK's meddling in Scottish domestic politics is absolutely controversial. It is absolutely a huge controversy and may well lead to Scottish independence.

@chadloder

So you've changed your toot for the third time now and qualified your original use of controversial.

Putting they/them in your bio doesn't absolve you for parroting UK media's transphobic tropes.

Thank your for your patronising lecture on UK politics 🙄

Over here, we've been aware of Ngo's involvement with the LGBA / 55 Tufton Street for years.
It's been well documented.

Also your toot should have had a CW for transphobia.
Just saying 🤔
