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 we missed out on his fake Scottish accent
@chadloder I hate that many with a burning passion.

@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 πŸ™„

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 πŸ€”

@essjaykeys @chadloder This is a great point, though I think he [sic, should be they] was just mirroring the headline, but given UK press policies that is a questionable thing to do!
Still glad to know that asshat is now off trying to muck up other countries' politics. Thanks for sharing the bad news. Hope Scotland gives him the send off he so richly deserves

@BrentInMasto @[email protected]

Still very lazy.
The very least they could have done is put 'Gender Debate' and 'Controversial' in inverted commas.
Even the crap UK press can manage that.
Also there should have been a transphobia CW in my opinion.

But this what you get from over-inflated egos who use social media as a megaphone.

@chadloder Ngo's focus: Black on white crime and crime committed by trans people. It's generally alleged crimes accompanied by mug shots of people that haven't been found guilty of anything.
Train derailment? Andy is the first to falsely insinuate that Antifa is behind it and then lamely retract it after the damage is done. The garbage he spills conveniently finds it's way immediately to the far corners of Nazi social media.
@chadloder
A shame Ireland didn't propose the bill, I hear dairy is common in their diet.
@chadloder I hadn’t heard of this guy before coming to Mastsdon. After reading up a bit… wow. There are just so many players on the right with historical parallels. This is not the future I was promised.
