- Actor James Dreyfus, best known for his roles on BBC sitcoms The Thin Blue Line and Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, joins us on the #SWYSI to discuss his experience of cancel culture and his thoughts on identity politics, trans radical activists and the impact they are having on the arts, gays & lesbians and wider society.
For signing a letter in support of JK Rowling and another letter calling on Stonewall to embrace greater tolerance of different viewpoints, Dreyfus found his name erased from material relating to his appearances as "The Master" in Doctor Who audio books. He also became maligned as a transphobe.

CIS stands for Clearly Innate Sex 🤣🤣🤣
Done!
JK Rowling speaks for 99% of the population.
The 1% of weirdos don’t agree with her (and the 99% of the rest of us)
Let me think…..who really needs cancelling ?
It isn’t 1%. There’s a LOT of well meaning but ignorant lefties that support this crap still.
I think once more people know the truth though..
@Jonathan Kent I'm chucking plastic bags into the Thames for that stupid remark
they keep taking our money and calling it tax. they keep saying it's to protect society but it only protects their interest and for the record, our freedom is not in their best interest. Digital ID, Digital money with social credit score will create digital chains for us.
agree
*0.01%
canceling or 'demoting' your reputation is our introduction to Social Credit Score system. We must oppose any level of 'canceling' if we are to remain free
Like the Chinese have. They don't seem to like it much, why should we?
Yes but I am kinda shocked how many do not care because they thinkt they are save and just follow. Not realising they will be hit hard too and loosing a lot.
Dang it. You have a point!!! Just when I thought things were extraordinarily bleak...they got bleaker.
@@sandie157 instead of feeling defeated, get angry and fight against it. They want us in a state of division and despair because that promotes inaction at the very moment we must gather our strength to remove them from power. resist & prepare.
Ppl have had theor GoFundMe and Paypal blocked and not sure about UK but there are ppl who have had their bank accounts effected. Iiit might be UK ad I think I wanted to not use Lloyds because of it. It rings a bell
I was chatting with a young trans man last night at a party. I explained that I really didn’t want to offend him I just wanted to know what he thought about the question “what is a woman”. He suddenly got visibly annoyed, accused me of trying to trap him and said a woman can be anyone. He did agree that I had no intention of upsetting him and we changed the subject.
I just can’t get over how extreme this is. Just asking a simple question ffs!!!
EDIT: He was a man in a dress so actually a trans woman- sorry everyone!
He knows it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
People often do not want to accept set reality. You see this in religios extremism the whole time. What is shocking with the whole gender topic is that most basic biological facts are denied. Your biological gender is set and you cannot change that. All the hormon therapies, sugeries and similar actions only change a bit and are extremly unhealthy (what many do not know).
You can feel like a women act like a women live like a women but you will NEVER truly be a women they know this and can't handle the facts and get mad
Mental health issues
* she? (assuming this is a female person who is presenting herself as a man)
“…because it’s not a question, it’s a test” Brilliant!! I remember when there was a very clear division between trans, gay and drag. My gay friends did not identify with trans people…very very different. Drag was a career , even with men who were married and had children, not the sexualized perverseness it’s become. I think there is a misogyny in it, with those who truly hate women.
Wonderfully said
Earlier than that, there were gay men butch and femme types and drag queens also considered super femme. There were Lesbians, butch and femme types and drag kings also called bull dykes. Transsexuals were a whole other thing and they did not hang with the entire gay thing. There were also transvestites and many times they were straight even married men that got off dressing up. They were not lumped in with drag queens who WERE gay. I had a LOT of gay friends at one time for a few years because that was all that was there, where I went. Friendly people back then, NOT cliqueish at all. AND I knew 3 transsexuals, men to women and they did NOT hang out with gay people at all, did not identify with them at all. They were adults. They also REALLY looked like women.
The LGB's should definitely break with the TQ's - it's apples and oranges. The LGB's are about who they are attracted to. The TQ's are about feelings and what they self identify as. Drag shows back in the day were a wonderful experience and relegated to night clubs, the level of talent was great.
I agree completely
@@lavenderbee3611 I think the inclusion of T& Q also I should never have happened. Gender expression is not sexuality
To suggest James is transphobic is ridiculous.
The guy is very talented and deserves better.
You know what, having seen and appreciated James in Gimme and Thin Blue line of course, it wasn't until he spoke out on this that I actually knew he was gay. I never cared, it just wasn't relevant. That's the point we'd reached in the 90s, and that's what these lunatics have taken from us.
Exactly like Critical Race Theory does with race especially in the States.
Totally agree... I don't like this current climate, it's scary where it's going.
Exactly. As Douglas Murray always says, it's the least interesting thing about him.
James is lovely - rational, calm, measured but firm in his defence of common sense, reality and in this case, women. That is courage in 2022! Love him 😍
It's because any normal gay guy, just as a hetero guy, doesn't make their sexuality into their personality.
@@80PercentScottish So right. I don't care much about your sexuality (unless I'm attracted to you, not at all, really) and if it is the only aspect of personality that can be discerned, I'm not going to like you at all, and it doesn't matter what that sexuality is. It has nothing to do with prudishness or phobia of any kind, I just think there are so many other things things are interesting. The fact that you have a sexual preference of some particular type is about as interesting as knowing squirrels are sexually attracted to each other.
The term for the insulting parody of women performed by a certain section of the group in question is "womanface" (by analogy with "blackface").
Also cosplay fetishism
Also LARPing (‘live action role play’)
Neither of which are offensive depending on context.
Bless him for speaking on this for everybody's sake♡☆
If theatre is demanding that actors only play characters with matching "lived experience"...how does that tally with a trans-woman thinking she/he has the same "lived experience" as a born woman?
Oooooh great point!
@Τίγρη Kogo exactly
Bingo
everybody's losing their rights but the weirdos
Thank you Peter & James for this interview. We need common sense back.
It's not even common sense. It's biological reality people are denying.
I agree with JK Rowling, she is correct 🇬🇧
100% Every single word she said.
As your guest says, there’s no such think as woke comedy. It’s not truly funny. It’s just picking on easy targets and lecturing down to people.
A real joy to hear James Dreyfus again. A superb actor 😊 A great interview Peter.
I quite liked that, it’s inspiring when people stand up, rather than cower, if people were less cowardly then this would blow up in their faces, as would the woke thing.
Don't just love his acting, but also his strength of character, and clarity of thought. There isn't enough bravery showing itself at the moment, it seems - I'm relieved that there are more and more channels like this starting to kick back.
There's only one question.......why are the Police enforcing Wokeness.
They are under orders to I suspect.....
@@clareb8015 - We MUST please Big Brother.
All govt agencies were captured by Stonewall's extortion racket. Pay them a ton of money to receive lqbtq+++ training and accreditation. People funny take that Stonewall's focus and agenda has COMPLETELY changed since T joined. Now it's ALL about the T and Q
@@clareb8015 blame the "equalities act", Labour, and Tony Blair. The Tories too as they're modern Blairites
@@Garry_Combine yes, Tories for the past 12 years have just been a continuation of New Labour. Same model just rebranded.
How the hell can he still be friends with Norton, when Norton won't defend him?
I was thinking the same thing.
Most "celebrities" are cowards , they don't break wind without asking their agents and publicist first .
Maybe he just doesn't want to lower himself to their level by slagging someone off in public.
@@stracepipe We're way beyond niceities now, peoples lives are at stake.
Because there is probably more to it than that. He also shows class and intelligence in his response.
Gay guy at work who was effeminate and wore nail varnish came out as trans recently. And even more recently got his name changed. I feel compromised being expected to use a womans name on a 6ft tall guy with stubble so i just avoid speaking to him much now.
Don’t play along with it and don’t apologise
@@kamandi1362 you just gotta be brave and tell them where to go or you will threaten legal action aswell.
It's a good career move..watch them get awards and promotion now.
@@davidjordan6159 apparently Labour are going to make misgendering a criminal offense. I bet they won't be shouting that from the rooftops !
Now imagine being in the ladies loo dealing with heavy 'women's issues' in real time / a survivor of sexual assault by male stranger(s) and that man barges in with his bellowing man-voice thinking his nail varnish makes him some sort of woman and treating you as a validation prop in his narcissistic drama.....Because that's what happened at my local hospital and it's why I don't give blood any more and don't trust them to provde female staff for intimate routine medical tests / care.
What a lovely sensible man James Dreyfus is. Great respect!
Love JKR. I’ve been 'trans' for 50+ years. What we have here is a case of mass neurosis and hysteria. I decided to go trans, male to female, about 50 years ago.I am 70 now and I am transitioning back and although it’s been difficult I feel a sense of freedom from trying to become something that I could never be.
You never stopped being male, so what did you transition to or from?
Good luck, both are hard journeys. Just do what you need to for yourself, & not what society dictates. I was born female but have had crippling dysphoria my whole life, I wanted to transition but was too scared to, & the new generation of crazy woke type trans people put me off even more, though I know thats not all trans people, fortunately. I have decided, should I transition, that I won't be black & white about it, if it doesn't suit me, it I can't past, then theres no shame in detransistioning. For me, pasting is of absolute importance, & the more the LGBT community act up & make me cringe, the more important passing becomes. Its sad they have made things so difficult for all the normal trans & gay people who just want to live in peace & not be activists or mentally insane exhibitionists.
@@user-vu7rv1xf1l Hello K. I hear you. For me, passing in public became the most important thing in my life and it took over my life and made it intolerable. Now, it's so lovely to get up, pull on jeans and a T-shirt and go out and talk to people. It's a whole new life because I hid myself away for so long to the point that I almost became a recluse. It practically destroyed my professional life as well. I wish you well whatever you do.
@@jean_mollycutpurse_winchester Glad you are doing better with your life. Can I ask, do you feel that you really were gender dysphoric and would have been happier had you been born a woman (or perhaps found it hard to accept life as a man), or was it a mental health issue as you mention becoming obsessed, or perhaps something you turned to, to get away from other issues?
@@thedirectorschair1054 Yes, I felt there was something different about me since I was about five. And my mother knew as well. And it was she that made an appointment with a London based gender clinic when I was eighteen in the 1970s. But here's a strange thing. I also had migraines since childhood and when the question of taking hormones came up, the doctor said, 'you realise that if taken along with your migraine tablets, your migraines might become worse.' my mother told him, no. They are bad enough already. And so that was that. So, I didn't even begin to take that route. I often wonder what sort of life I would have had if I had been allowed to start hormones. Anyway, so I spent the rest of my life being two people as it were until recently when I, 'woke up' and saw how much of my life I had destroyed and wasted. Did I have gender dysphoria? I have no idea. My childhood was happy and I had loving parents. I suppose I was a 'soft' kind of boy. Not interested in sports and my head always in a book. Intellectually gifted but without a doubt, naive and foolish. The trans thing has undoubtably affected my professional life as a writer. Now I am free, I hope to make up for lost time. Thank you for asking.
James Dreyfus hits the nail on the head when he mentions that people would rather a trans daughter than a Gay son...
'Cis' and 'trans' comes from organic chemistry usage. Via Latin meaning. It refers to molecules of the same formula but the atoms within the molecule are arranged as mirror images of each other. As a woman science teacher and 1970s feminist, it is no coincidence to me that our knowledge of organic chemistry grew around the same time as cis and trans man /woman developed. It is an impersonal scientific term, and has no place in defining me. I am a woman hear me roar, not a cis woman hear me whimper.
Also, cis doesn't simply mean "non trans".
Both cis and trans are based on the premise that gender is determined by gender identity.
A: Cis, a person whose gender identity, which is their gender, match their body aka sex.
B: Trans, a person whose gender identity, which is their gender, does not match their body aka. sex.
Both are fundamentally different and indeed opposite to eg. me, and others who uses gender synonymously with sex.
My sex is my gender, regardless of whether my gender identity likes it or not. My gender identity only determines whether I suffer from gender dysphoria or not.
Or in other words...
It's a way of pushing the view of gender = gender identity on others, even if that isn't actually the case.
@@nt78stonewobble The definition of gender has been changed to suit their agenda, it used to be a polite term for sex. Now gender is based on subjective feelings which are mutable and can change over time.
@@lavenderbee3611gender means "genre" or "kind". And referred to masculine and feminine be it language, electrical wire ends and humans. It was to say this category vs that. Someone's sex genre (male or female) vs someone's genre expression (masculine or feminine). Along the way the two got conflated because the term is interchangable. Activists even conflate androgynous expression with some type of innate sex (non-binary). Its why I simply stay well away from the word gender and clarify right away is someone talking about their biological sex or gender expression. Gender identity would be seperate from both of these but they try to mould it to fit both thus confusing everything
I wonder when cybernetic implants will become the norm and people will call themselves "higher human" or whatever?
It's so lovely to see James, he's a national treasure
Oh cool. What nation?
Being erased from Doctor Who should be considered an accolade. That show is dying a slow death, thanks to the BBC.
People disingenuously ask what's different between pantomime dames and drag shows for kids? Well, what's the difference between a house spider and a black widow? A perch and a piranha? A tabby and a tiger?
Cringe Panda is a channel on TH-cam which has a young girl doing pieces about the way her peers have been sucked into all the lies via tv shows for kids. She makes it funny but it feels like she's angry. The next generation after these are seeing the truth and fighting back. I gained hope from her.
Probably the same reason why pantomime dames don't appear in adult sexual entertainment venues!
My thoughts on why LGBTsoup hate LGBA is they've no way of controlling or influencing anything that happens with the supporters or the group thenselves. And let's call it as we see it, for them it's all about control. And what they can't control, they will destroy.
The t* activists have colonised every other LGB organisation and turned it into a t-centric organisation. Now they're having a meltdown that there's ONE organisation they're not able to take over and dominate. Like any narcissist, the result is rage.
Well said James. You're a national treasure and articulating brilliantly what the vast majority of the nation thinks on this issue.
I cannot tell you how many times I have deleted comments as 'the mob descends'. I recently commented on a Snope post on JKR and immediately had someone post a deleted photo that a friend had posted on FB which was a little compromising. I was honestly quite scared and tried to block the person and felt stupid for expressing my opinion as I left myself open to abuse. Why, as a woman, should I have to put up with this? I am not allowed to speak my mind for fear of being doxxed, threatened and potentially lose my job as a result?
Don't allow yourself to be bullied.
That's awful.
Sadly due to fear of backlash the average person is now censoring what they say on social media. But the extremist doesn't have this fear and are able to be vile without conscious.
@@apebass2215 Though I do agree, it's scary to think that someone has the ability to drag up stuff from your past and try to defame you with it. Mine is not an isolated experience; I personally know quite a few women who will only express their true views with 'trusted friends' as they have experienced the same, if not worse.
@@splums I know you're not alone. Luckily I don't have to worry about only expressing my views to close friends, because the people I thought were my friends already refuse to talk to me because I know what men and women are.
@@xhogun8578 There is just no discussion. It is so unhealthy. I have teenage children and it has been hard to rationalise with them. We have to spend more time with them and get them off the toxicity of social media. To lead by example - I have very limited SMS now and encorage the same for them
It has gone widely beyond PC, it’s puritanical.
Thank you James for standing up for women. I'm happy to be a TERF - I believe that a woman is a woman. I loathe the cartoonish stereotypes of drag. Alas Drag Queens reading stories to kids is now an event at my local library, in Auckland, NZ
If male bodied people are gaining access to female bodied people's spaces there is a issue of potential risk of sexual assault but, even where surgery is involved, the potential for assault by virtue of, on average, greater upper body strength and aggression.
I have no belief in gender ideology nor gender identity and consider its claims false and its annexation of pronouns an abuse of language.
DQSH as seen in libraries etc is, in my view, an outgrowth of q---r marxism and its goal of the overturning of the special property of 'normalcy'. It does this through a process called 'q---ring' that incorporates a process of 'complicating categories' in order to water them down. DQSH is that process by complicating and destabilising the development of fundamental categories of children during their formation, thereby attempting to destabilise statistically normal categories of man and woman.
I would recommend another James, James Lindsay who has read and analysed and laid open much of the marxist theories commonly emanating from woke Theory. His site is new discourses.
There should be large protests all over the world against that evil. Unfortunately, I think people have lost the will to fight against it now.
Drag ≠ Trans. One is a performance style from gay underground subculture. Since it has conquered the mainstream as an art form via Ru Paul and Drag Race, it was made into a symbol of «queer visibility». Look, I‘m gay. I stand with JK Rowling all the way. I despise what the activist LGBTQIA+ people have become.
That being said, drag and trans are not the same. You can find drag offensive, well, much success focusing on something else, like it‘s not that hard. That drag has no place in educational or children’s establishments is a no-brainer, it‘s very sexualised and it has absolutely nothing to do with building tolerance and real lgbtqia subjects.
The trans debate is happening on a completely different level. We‘re basically talking about objective truth vs a cult like indoctrination based on subjective self-perception of a small minority, which is using gays, lesbians, bisexuals and real, gender-dysphoric trans people who wish to transition and go about their lives in peace.
What is being fought against is the indoctrination, the disrespect to women‘s spaces, the real danger of criminals abusing it (oh, it happens in numbers that confirm what I had prior considered to be bigoted prejudices), womens sports, the change of language and culture, the endless victim complex and the violence shown in the name of tolerance and inclusivity towards even us, members of the lgbtqia population who refuse to shut up about them establishing a dictatorship of opinion and unwilling to navigate an encyclopedia of ever-changing psychotic gender / mental health / animal and pronoun mash ups that are propagated in our name.
As long as the g is in lgbtqia i will fight these people topth and nail, because they are using us as a shield to justify their claims.
LGB DROP THE T
@@MFTH-cam683 I think this is a reasonable position to hold.
@@MFTH-cam683 You are right that Drag and Trans are not necessarily the same thing. But the line is very blurred these days. And I don't think drag queens telling stories to kids (and advertised as such) does anything for the kids
Not only a great actor, but a lovely person too. It has took real strength of character to get involved in this knowing the backlash he would get. Keep speaking out James!
James Dreyfus is NOT CANCELLED to me!
He'll always be the Master 😊
Cancel culture isn't the biggest problem with woke; equity is. Equity promotes inequality and special treatment for favoured groups. It is entirely in opposition to equality. Fairness depends on acceptance of equality. A person who longer values equality above other values, will also not value fairness. It's as simple as that. So don't expect fair treatment from wokes or any other group who promote 'equity'.
I am an actress and I jacked in my equity card 2 years ago. Inequality is what they stand for. If you are black , trans or disabled you will be promoted . Other than that you can forget it.
I think the worst thing about wokism is the brainwashing and mutilation of children. Truly evil.
Woke and climate hysteria is the most extrem at the moment because it is pushed extra by influental people and media but it is overall a strange spirit of the time that more and more people force their opinions and way of living on others, feel easy offended and cannot let it go.
Equity promotes racism; it's not anti racist. Yes, equality should be practiced, not equity.
I don't even mind men believing they are women and women believing they are men , but I do mind people not being allowed to believe that they are not . Can we all please be allowed to think what we want , and express our thoughts ?
A man of integrity and courage. He's undoubtedly done the right thing. I am certain that once the madness has ended JD will regain a great career and more - because we know him to be both a good actor and comedian and a man of stature and courage. More power to him!
Love James Dreyfus, another great interview Peter thanks
I’ve enjoyed James’ performances in the past but this interview made me a fan! His calling out of the misogyny, something he won’t have been subject to, is very empathetic and shows real integrity. As a gay teen & man in the 80s and 90s he would have experienced real prejudice and -phobia so he can see how the current accusations of -phobia against trans people are absurd.
I'll stand with James Dreyfus. Great guy. Loved him in the Thin Blue Line.
I like that , "When America sneezes , we catch the cold" . America , could I respectfully ask that you please keep your germs to yourself , thank you .
America is like the cool kid in school that Britain, who is the geeky kid, wants to copy at all costs
Good ol' James, fabulous as the Master in the "Dr. Who" audio plays, and marvellous as P.C. Goody in "The Thin Blue Line". Long live James!
Great interview Peter. Got to say listening to James he is a breath of fresh air and brave in supporting JKR. As a straight 71 yr old I can remember my Gay uncle living in fear of persecution & prosecution in the 6os and our family welcomed how society had advanced so much in the acceptance of those with different sexual orientations. I can also remember back in the 6os regularly going to a pub on a large council estate and one of our fellow customers was a man dressed up as a woman. He was easy to spot as he had stubble on his chin, but woe betide anyone picking on him as he was one of us. Plese don't tell me we are heading back to those awful times. Well done James and I just loved The Thin Blue Line.
One of the differences between the American and British right-wing is that in Britain two gay guys can talk about issues and their sexuality isn't important. In America, not so much.
Rupa Fuq would probably suggest they are superficial Gays 🤭🤭🤭
@@ddoherty5956 So gay people all think / vote the same way? Or maybe it's just a sexual preference and has no bearing on anything else.
@@davidmorris3981 No, just that they don't fit the far left stereotype and must be banished and dispossessed of their identity. I would have thought the deliberate misspelling of Ms Huq's surname would Indicate my views 🤣
the USA are only always ahead and the rest of the western world follow 10-15 years later.
I don't understand why anyone has to wear their sexuality on their sleeves all the time
Sexuality is a private matter that applies to whether you're straight, gay or whatever
I'm straight, but I hate when another straight guy constantly goes on and on about sleeping with women
It's boring, arrogant and annoying
Wonderful conversation. Wise and beautifully worded by both men here.
As a bisexual man over 50 I have been absolutely horrified by how much misogyny has been allowed to be heaped upon the world by TRAs and the radical left.
James has beautifully stated everything that I would say on the matter so I shall simply say that before today I would have said I like James Dreyfus quite a bit, but now I would say I absolutely adore him.
5-Star Discussion here.
As a younger bisexual woman I'd like to ask, have you ever got criticised for not wanting to identify as pansexual, based on the idea identifying as bisexual is transphobic? That's something I've encountered.
@@MRPandoraHartDR - Yup!! You bet I have!
"It's not a question, it's a test." I must remember that.

Let’s face it, tv is 99% trash anyway. At least your time in tv was woke free, and actual comedy. More power to you for speaking out, and backing JK Rowling; for sticking to your personal beliefs.
It's like we are living in an episode of Black Mirror. 🤷♂️
Quality guest and a quality interview Peter. Thank you.
Thank you so much for standing up for truth, justice and dignity. You're my heroe James. Much love xxx
I’m sorry but I don’t understand the story time drag queens, why do they NEED A CHILDREN AUDIENCE, that to me seems like a form of grooming.
Children should be allowed their innocence without having ADULTS exposing them to things they are not emotionally or mentally mature enough to understand.
Well done James. Most people agree with you 100 percent. Trouble is the minority have the biggest mouth
The future has become scary.
Superb as always. How refreshing to listen to two intelligent, articulate people debating and discussing an interesting topic, without any preaching, screeching or hysteria.
Danny La Rue was fantastic. His female character had huge, old world glamour. You got the idea that he was celebrating womanhood. His act was classy, very much Music Hall style.
Agree. He was a fine lady and an absolute gentleman.
@@happydavid13 Well said. 😃
Yes, my mother loved him. He used to come out at the end of his act dressed in a suit and say 'and this is me'. He never purported to be anything but a man playing the role of a classy woman.
I never regarding Danny La Rue, Hinge & Bracket, or Dame Edna as drag - they're female impersonators.
I am so glad that some gay men are calling out the woman face. This bad version of drag has been growing as far as I know since the 90's to now, but I am not allowed to say so. So many gay men that I have asked about this say oh women are easier to make fun of and I was like can't you be talented and actually funny without bashing someone up because it is easy and then hiding under mum's skirt when you get shit for it. A lot of the young men who do it have a father who hates them and a mother who protected them. It was like what a nice way to thank her for saving you by becoming like your misogynist father. That percentage who I asked was higher than the ones that had parents hate them both equally.
It seems that a lot of the crazy stuff now comes from people having issues that they haven’t let go of or addressed ..ie massive mental problems being tge cause of the madness
I do not understand why not more authentic gay and trans people realise that they get exploited for money and political control and that in reality this extremist movement hurt them and does not help.
I never would have recognised him from the thin blue line. Sounds like a decent measured man.
Love you James. Thanks for standing up and having guts and integrity.
i am Lesbian and fan of harry potter also JK Rowling is The G.O.A.T also yes Stonewell had abandoned Gays and Lesbian. i am part of LGBT i am not of lgbtqia2s+.
@@azimuth5620 Ahistorical. People need to look past their own two feet at history and social tendencies.
I watched him in Julius Caesar at Birmingham Rep. He was outstanding, gave a performance that just blew me away, sent tingles down my spine and was exhilarating to watch.
My term is "purity cult". This applies to many movements, political, religious, left wing, right wing... The trans activist movement has a problem with expecting absolute purity of thought based on a party line so strict that those who disagree are accused of literally killing people with impure ideas. So what's the problem with JK Rowling? This is basically what I have gotten from her. She accepts trans women who transition to live as women. She has 3 issues however:
* puberty blockers for adolescents
* trans women in women's sports
* gender self identity given legal standing
So a male can enter women's spaces while appearing as male with no effort to present themselves as a woman. Of course that will make gender so arbitrary that it will effectively cancel women's spaces as well as muddy the waters regarding sexual orientation (gay/lesbian/heterosexual). So JK Rowling is a transphobe who accepts trans women/men?
This is it in a nutshell.
@@L_Martin Yes, deconstructing gender with dozens of new genders, will serve to cancel both sexual orientation and women's spaces that the feminist and gay liberation movements worked so hard to establish in the 60s and 70s. This is what JK Rowing was really saying. We have to be willing to read her sentiments directly instead of accepting what others say about her.
She’s an apostate because she was originally considered an ally. It’s a religion alright.
@@ApacheMagic Items #1 & #2 are debatable. I'm not a medical expert. #3 should be obvious. It could erase women's spaces. How could feminists support this? Yes, it is very much like a cult.
when this crap blows up I don't want to be anywhere around. The closet is lookin pretty good right now
I hope not , i hope people know its the tq thats taken over gay rights , stonewall are a discrace i hope more gay people wake up , i am just a trad housewife btw but i stand with lgb against the tq++map movement
Say it for what it is please, there is a clique of malicious people who have been captured by an equally malicious ideology.
I prefer cult to ideology.
Peter & James Thanks another interview that hits the Bullseye!
Wow! I am brand new to this forum, and I feel I’ve been asleep. I had no idea that some trans people have become so hostile and misogynistic. Good interview. Some of these internecine squabbles are too byzantine for my brain.
Oh just you wait. I couldn’t believe it either until it slapped me in the face when I saw 2000 angry men in dresses trying to crush Kellie Jay Keane in NZ because she was a ‘fascist’. So I looked her up and found out that she’s a woman’s rights defender, who like JK, says that you cannot literally change sex. That’s it.
I think there is Woke comedy and the thing I have observed that is unique to woke comedy is the golf clap response. A joke will be told that is not especially funny, but it will hit one of the designated woke talking points, so the audience, in the absence of actual laughter, will give a polite golf clap as a mark of approval.
It's so pretentious, I hate it.
Love that he;s drinking Yazzoo 🤣
How have these people gained so much power and influence ? How have they infiltrated the police? Civil service, nhs, education ??? I just don't understand it 😕 what is the purpose, what are they trying to achieve 🤔
The end of individuality so that they have nothing to feel envious about anymore.
It's all about power
Love James Dreyfuss, he is a brilliant actor. Found this conversation fascinating, thankyou.
Great interview James and Peter talking sense, well done.😊
Absolutely. No distinction means no accountability. Which, of course, is the point
Love u James love the characters only you fit into comfortably. Never stop doing what u do so well.
Love from NZ.
I always liked James Dreyfuss' work and now I am a wholehearted admirer of the man. Anyone who has a lot to lose and who, nevertheless, speaks up for truth and the rights of same-sex attracted people, women and children in the face of the TRA onslaught is a hero, in my book. Bravo, James.
Gimme gimme gimme is one of my all time favourite comedies. Ironically at the time I thought he was a straight guy playing a gay guy. That’s how good an actor he is. Simply genius. ❤
Superb intelligence and a totally amazing conversation to listen to. Thank you very much
Just discovered your channel, so good to hear intelligent people speaking common sense.
Thank you for providing a voice of reason and sensibility to the crazy world we are currently in.
Excellent interview. James Dreyfus is a hero. This is a pleasure to listen to. I can't believe how easily we have dispenced with the necessary belief that between accusation and punishment there should be due process. An accusation should not automatically make anyone guilty. When Graeme Norton says it's consequences for actions he has decided to go from accusation to punishment without the necessity of a trial. Is that really the way we want to go?
Always liked him in Thin Blue Line and the Gimme GImme comedy.
I'm loving listening to all of your interviews, they are so informative.
Great conversation. More please!
Mr Dreyfus, you sir are a true gent. JKR wrote a thoughtful insightful revealing article. After reading it I kept wondering had I missed the part where the great transgression occurred? Accidentally missed a page, paragraph, sentence, a word even? I have noticed a common theme. None of her nay sayers are willing or able to quote anything to back up their claims. But here we are, where, to defend my sex based rights and views I have to claim the immutability of sex, biological and physical reality as a belief system. And even then that wouldn't protect me from being being accused and record as having committed a non crime hate incident. What a time to be alive.
You have done something what most people these days not do: concentrated reading and thinking. Majority only reads headlines sometimes the sub text but that is it.
What gives these people the authority to absolutely cancel a person who has a conflicting opinion of these “woke” groups!
The delusion that their philosophy is superior and therefore overrules everyone else
Amazing man is our James!!!! Well done for speaking out again on this issue.
Great discussion, thank you Peter, love your work.
No hysteria or shaming just intelligent interview . An amazing interview and so sad this is having to be discussed . Good luck
Call it by its name: new Stalinism.
it is just a new form of ideological extremism. Stalinism desribes a very speific period in history and while it was overall bad it was better for most russian compared to the time under the tzar and women rights pushed for the conditions back at the time.
I just call it facism
Fascinating discussion Peter, thank you
That was a really lovely interview Peter, thank you! What an absolute treasure James is! I will not be watching Dr. Who and I'm sorry that James was treated so shabbily.
What a wonderful man James is, to hear another gay man, especially as high profile as James, speak the truth and echo my beliefs is truly refreshing.
Grateful for your COURAGE and INTEGRITY 🌹.
As always, great interview!
🙏 Thank you
Lots of love 😍
Funny how these activist's, who always talk about tolerance and respect for others regarding their sexual identity, shift when you start expressing views they disagree with.
Ostracised for not being a coward and for telling the truth. Keep it up you brave, lovely man. How did we end up in this mess?
While I believe homosexuality is immoral... if it is entirely consensual then it is not a crime. And if it's private, as with anyone, then it is not a crime. No one gets hurt, no one is made to be unsafe. So long as consent is honored.
This was a sensible and enjoyable conversation. I agree that it's misogyny. I love women and I hate that women's safety is on the line. It is men's job to be a safety buffer for women and children.
These TRAs and their criminal benefactors make women and girls unsafe and take pleasure in doing so.
Everyone should be against this.
as a gay man, I want to thank you for your heart felt comment. Years ago, gay people's goal was to just be left alone. Sadly, that is no longer true.
Great interview! Thanks 👍
People have lost the plot, I remember when we could have a sense of humour. We could agree to disagree and still be friends. It's heartbreaking that we are in this situation, we are being told if you don't agree with our ideology you will see what will happen to you. So in other words lie about your beliefs and you will be ok. This is history repeating itself ( just look at Germany and what happened there). 😣😔
Yet nothing happens to the people doing this. The police show up for mean tweets but ignore this.
That was a really excellent interview, thanks gents!
