Meanwhile:
Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh has shared his thoughts on trans rights, JK Rowling and Covid lockdowns in a new interview
Speaking to The Times, Welsh, 65, also spoke about his distaste for party politics and criticised the SNP for its apparent involvement in “social engineering”,
@ecksmc *Trans men enter the chat*
@stueytheround yeah these eejits don't have any issue with trans men its only trans women they have an issue with
And if I'm being honest they do have a point as in the new Scottish law that SNP tried to pass - that said they have have went way past the law issue and the things they say
@stueytheround The law wasn't fit for purpose kinda why Westminster stepped in to stop it December 2023 the Court ruled in favour of the UK Government, finding that it did act lawfully, and the Scottish Government decided not appeal the Court's decision. Even SNP knew it wasn't worth going further with appeals
Two side of the argument
@ecksmc because the Taliban are famous for *promoting* and *defending* the rights of others?
God damn that’s some dumb shit to say.
@MookyTroubadour read the article its by far not the only dumbassery thing he said 😬
When did so many people I liked go down the douchebag hole I'm embarrassed for them 🤐☹️
interview notes that Welsh “says he doesn’t know Rowling well, but loathes how she’s been vilified”, before offering a brief insight into his views on the ongoing debate about rights for trans people.
“Only women and trans people can have that discussion, but what I would say is that I don’t believe trans rights should be advanced at the expense of 50 per cent of the population,” Welsh stated.
