Esther corners Francesca Fiorentini over women’s sports and bathroom safety — then comedian James Barr launches a personal attack that sends the debate into chaos! But Esther refuses to back down, challenging him for lecturing women about their own safety.
Participant: If I hit you over the head with a bat and said I wasn’t trying to kill you, just remove a fly, would my intention excuse the assault? Does my intention matter?
Participant: That’s the issue. People are validating what I consider nonsense at the expense of women trying to compete fairly or use a bathroom.
Another participant: You think that’s what trans people are doing?
Participant: Don’t impose your views on the rest of us and then call us regressive.
Narrator: Esther isn’t finished. She challenges Francesca Fiorentini over women who don’t want to share bathrooms with biological men.
Piers Morgan: Francesca, you respond, and then I’ll come to James.
Francesca Fiorentini: I care about human life, people’s right to privacy, and people being able to survive and live in this world.
Esther: What about the privacy of women who don’t want to share their spaces with biological men? Do they not matter?
Francesca Fiorentini: What about the number of trans youth who die by suicide every year—
Esther: No, answer the question. What about women who don’t want to share a bathroom with a biological man?
Francesca Fiorentini: You can go into every bathroom and pick a fight with anyone you think is in the wrong bathroom. That’s your prerogative.
Esther: If a man goes into a bathroom with my teenage daughter, what should I do?
Francesca Fiorentini: Guys, let’s not bully, okay? I believe Melania Trump said, “Be Best,” and we know what bullying leads to: Stephen Miller.
Piers Morgan: We’re conflating two issues. You can support trans people’s rights to fairness and equality while recognizing the serious debate about fairness in women’s sports. There’s a reason we separate the sexes in the Olympics and world championships. Otherwise, women would struggle to win against competitors with certain physical advantages. That doesn’t mean women aren’t great athletes.
Narrator: Then comedian James Barr turns his attention to Esther, and the argument gets personal.
James Barr: Esther, you’re the only person making anyone angry right now. You’re causing me a mental health issue. If there’s a mental illness here, it’s you. I’d like to take a pill to remove you from my life.
Narrator: Barr then argues that the race results are normal for women, but Esther refuses to let the discussion move away from women’s safety.
James Barr: Most female winners in this sport run around 22 to 24 seconds, which is exactly the time the gold medalist recorded here. That’s normal for a woman in a race.
Esther: How dare you, as a man, tell women how they should feel about safety in a bathroom with biological men? You’ve never experienced being a woman in a women’s toilet, so don’t lecture me about it.
James Barr: One in three women in America experience violent abuse in their lifetime. Why are we focusing on one trans woman in a changing room?
Esther: I’m talking about women being affected by what I believe is scientific nonsense. Why can you talk about biological men, but I’m not allowed to talk about women?
Participant: We’re conflating different issues. Let’s get back to the actual issue we came here to debate
Your dislike for him is rational. But him being convicted of crimes he committed, irrespective of how long ago it happened is "hard to believe".
Moid logic, you guys. 😂
His little feelings are more legitimate than women's trauma.
Men are animals. Humanize them at your peril.
So Russell Brand found guilty on a number of charges. I never liked them and no idea why he was so popular. But I still find it hard to believe that you can be convicted based on hearsay 20 years ago. It seems the woman is always believed and never to blame.#RussellBrandtrial
I don't want to shame any particular woman here, but publicly announcing that the #RussellBrand conviction must be wrong because you went home with him and he didn't rape you makes about as much sense as saying 'well, I left 25 Cromwell Street alive, so Fred West's innocent.'
some of you are genuinely not smart enough to be feminists because your feminism starts and ends with “let women do what they want!” with no further critical thinking
Democrats sweep in states where Republicans codified sex-based rights into law. Meanwhile, initiatives to protect girls' sports pass in red, blue, and purple states.
The Tide isn't Turning, but the battle lines are being redrawn.
Russell Brand is now a convicted rapist. Understandably, the focus will be on the man himself and what he’s done, but today I’m thinking of the women who came forward. Having gone through a rape trial myself, I know just how much strength is required. Today, they’re my heroes.
How bad what’s getting lol. It’s the smallest percentage of women online actually analyzing and pointing shit out. You dickriding your biggest predators so hard as if we go outside and shoot males in the broad daylight. Nothing is happening to your beloved lmao
@LouiseWluddite@blackadderbob11@esskayultra@NWtoG@DanniBrener See also Schrödinger’s law of biology which defines woman as anything that can be purchased (hormones, boobs) by men whilst simultaneously claiming anything which cannot be bought (menstruation, chromosomes, ovulation, a womb) does not
@esskayultra@NWtoG@DanniBrener A bit like Schrödinger’s women’s toilet which simultaneously cannot keep women safe (and we are silly for thinking it could), but simultaneously men must have access because it will keep them safe.
@DanniBrener It's a phenomenon know as "Schrodinger's Trans" in which women's spaces, sports, language, etc is so irrelevant and unimportant that women shouldn't mind giving them up while simultaneously being so consequential and necessary that men will die if they can't have them.
