Just a guy trying to get thin...

@TheAdelekeTolu That's lovely... But I think maybe you should Google "Mike Pilavachi"...

[Jonathan (he/him/his) @jonathanmbowers]

@FakeShowbizNews Martin!! You heartless bastard!

[Jonathan (he/him/his) @jonathanmbowers]

@CornersAdele @DreyfusJames @LesleySemmens Agreed. We might not see eye to eye, but I'm willing to engage in healthy debate... And when required, I'll admit when I've missed the mark. Like I say, most deserve safety and respect... Including people with whom I disagree.

[Jonathan (he/him/his) @jonathanmbowers]

@CornersAdele Apology accepted. Thank you. I guess it's been adopted more widely amongst the younger crowd... Reappropriated to try and remove the sting. Many people I know are not offended having the Q in LGBTQ... But I understand many might.

[Jonathan (he/him/his) @jonathanmbowers]

@CornersAdele OK, so I've done some reading, and I can see that for many the word 'queer' carries a weight which many find hurtful. To those who have been called it in hate, I am sorry. My intention is to build a bridge, not a wall. @CornersAdele I apologise for replying without understanding.

@CornersAdele You're calling me a fake? Me and my boyfriend had a good laugh at that...
🤦‍♂️
1. Nobody mentioned gay people.
2. Queer has been widely adopted by my community as an umbrella term to bring us all together. https://t.co/JhV1MIknaE

@CornersAdele I know I'm never going to change your mind... But if our interaction helps one queer individual to feel a little safer, then it's totally worth it.

Your turn ...

[Jonathan (he/him/his) @jonathanmbowers]

@CornersAdele Your point about religion is utterly nonsensical. My point is that human constructs can be selected by each individual... Gender is a human construct, the same as religion.

[Jonathan (he/him/his) @jonathanmbowers]

@CornersAdele It's ridiculous to think she would face this much bigotry over 40 years just to use the ladies.

[Jonathan (he/him/his) @jonathanmbowers]

@CornersAdele Everyone has the right to be safe, including trans people, who, through the ignorance of the uninformed are infinitely less safe than ever before. Where Eddie Izzard takes a leak poses no threat to anyone.

[Jonathan (he/him/his) @jonathanmbowers]

@CornersAdele Couldn't agree with you more. Religion, also, is a social construct, and we all get to decide which, if any, we follow. If trans people could choose their biology, many would. Sadly, social constructs are often all we can control... My friend 🤮

[Jonathan (he/him/his) @jonathanmbowers]

@CornersAdele And I happen to think that 'respect' is immensely important.

[Jonathan (he/him/his) @jonathanmbowers]

@CornersAdele Sexual identity has nothing to do with it. This is about gender identity.

[Jonathan (he/him/his) @jonathanmbowers]

@Vespertine85 @BlackestSheep7 @boilerwoman @SaturdayKitchen @eddieizzard She's gender fluid with a preference for she/her. Names, pronouns and appearance don't alter biology. https://t.co/4eyFkEsnea

[Jonathan (he/him/his) @jonathanmbowers]

@77sylvia She uses Suzi as it's a name she's wanted to use since she was 10 years old. https://t.co/4eyFkEsnea

... misunderstood and very oppressed but precious part of our society. Thank you for being authentic you. 🌈❤️

[Jonathan (he/him/his) @jonathanmbowers]

@SaturdayKitchen @eddieizzard just adore you and everything you stand for. There's so much hate on this godforsaken platform, it makes me 🤢🤬 You've brought immense joy into the world, you've raised so much money for great causes, and you represent a much...
