    The fact that this wasn't discussed in a debate format is very telling.

    Why are we pandering to these narcissists?😊

    I've pulled a total 180 on this topic to anti, just by listening to transactivists. We're never relenting against this insanity. Also, *combating 🧐

    Of course one of the speakers felt it was necessary to say that they're a boxer. Lots of combating going on on all levels I guess.

    Where’s the opposing side. There’s a lot of accusations with no one to defend the opposing point of you. Cambridge Union…you can do better. You usually do with the debates

    Moderator needs more experience- nervous laughter, not composed, not professional, feels immature and not ready. Moderator’s capability is important to the overall professionalism of the discussion.

    I'm always surprised when trans activists try to point at things they dont like and just declare them an existential threat. It's as if they don't realize how utterly ridiculous that looks.

    17:15 is just blathering on about a "relentless media campaign" against trans people -- what a joke -- that simply is not happening and quite the opposite in most cases. If we need any type of media campaign, it should be a campaign for real news and not on the bread and circuses of such a focus on this tiny group of self-absorbed divas. Get a real job.

    Except research shows there very much is a media-led campaign in recent years against trans people. In January 2023, the Daily Mail published 115 articles om trans people, of which 100 were largely negative.

    Trans people are people. Start treating people like the human beings they are . We all have our own experiences and we need to respect each. I have no time for people who think their old book grants them special knowledge or a mandate over other people.

    We know they're people. What kind of people they are is the debate. And we reject their demands.

    Trans people want to be treated better than everyone else...that's the issue people have.

    NHS said no to your unsupported “trans” care. Affirmation is not the way forward. This evil ideology will be eliminated from every aspect of our lives.
