Germaine Greer a small been 'no platformed' for saying that she doesn't consider 'M to F' transsexuals to be women: Firstly, the video is excellent and good to see the fire still burning in Germaine. She is also right that people are way to sensitive these days. She also makes some interesting points about transsexuals. Secondly, this episode highlights one of the most distasteful aspects of the left. That being the suppression of free speech and the intimidation of those opposing the left's views. Whether it's the tranny lobby threatening a 76 year old, Nationalists in Scotland labelling anyone who disagrees with them as traitors or 'anti austerity' protesters at Tory Party conference threatening to rape journalists, the left is now using bully tactics as its normal tactics. Shame on the left and keep going Germaine. We need people who aren't afraid to speak up against the Leftist fascists who are trying to curtail freedom by labelling anyone who disagrees with them as 'something phobic' or a 'something-ist'.

I saw the interview on Newsnight a few days back. She didn't mention 'the left' once yet you have managed to do it, in reference to her words, five times. She did say she doesn't like being misrepresented, though.

The Wimmins group at Cardiff Uni raised the query and looking on the Internet at their Wimmins Officer and their objectives, it is fair to say that they are left. Also, when was the last time you heard Nigel Farage fighting for Tranny rights? Grow up Kermit.

Yes, because its only the left that is curtailing freedom, its not like the Conservatives are launching a potential witch hunt under 'rooting out extremists' from government, schools.... Personally I agree with her, automatically classing transsexuals as men or women is wrong, the decision should lie with the individual. Some transgender people prefer to be identified as transsexual, rather than by the external genitals they display. In fact the whole idea of external sexual organ gender defining people is rather outdated in a post modern age, where we define people in far more complex ways.

I saw her performance on Question Time last Thursday and was impressed with her no nonsense approach to politics and life in general. She definitely calls a spade a spade.

She's always been my favorite feminist, she's kind of the Hunter S Thompson of feminism (She was involved with Oz) and is exceptionally witty, erudtite, sarcastic and funny. Traits uncommon in academic feminism.

I am surprised we have got this far with no one saying they 'would' - either with Germaine Greer or a 'M to F Transsexual'.

I don't want to live in a Caliphate. The left's PC crusade is not helpful and I even believe you think that.

In the 60s and 70s Greer herself targeted academics and speakers she deemed misogynistic in a very similar fashion. The circle of life. That said I disagreed with that then and I disagree with this now. It's unfortunate that a group facing many of the same challenges women used to are shunned by Greer, but she has every right in my book to state her view. Edited by oldcodger (27 Oct 2015 12.47pm)

I don't want to live in a Caliphate. The left's PC crusade is not helpful and I even believe you think that. Let's not forget Mr Cameron's extraordinary words "For too long, we have been a passively tolerant society, saying to our citizens 'as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone". It hardly screams freedom of speech does it. The extremes of left and right always bang on with "Oh I've got you now, this is proof that the left are this" or "the right are that". They're both as bad as each other. Edited by oldcodger (27 Oct 2015 12.34pm)

Edited by oldcodger (27 Oct 2015 12.47pm) This just demonstrates that all opinions are to a greater extent just self interest. It is easy to stand up for your kind and easy to have a go at another.
