Can we get a list of who is a TERF and who is a trans ally? (3 Viewers)

[Tetris-Rock]

New Proclaimers album out Friday, 'You May Offend'. Title track dropped a couple of months ago. I won't bother linking to it, but these are the lyrics:

As you breathe
As you grow
As you ascend
You'll lose count of the fools, you may offend
Just by giving out the thoughts in your head
You may reach a point where some will wish you dead
Speech is free, so are we
I am assured
But too much rational thought
Needs to be cured
So suppress the fact that you prey upon your mind
For the greater good of always being kind
That old street called tolerance
Runs both ways, or makes no sense
As you breathe
As you grow
As you ascend
You'll lose count of the fools, you may offend
Just by giving out the thoughts in your head
You may reach a point where someone will wish you dead

Fucking hell - the Reid kids need to come and collect their das and surreptitiously change the passwords on their Facebook accounts!

I assumed the quote from The Telegraph was just them being asked about this stuff mostly out of context (as the media loves to do).

Nice to know that we live in a world where irrelevant, has-been pop stars can drum up publicity simply by doing an interview with right wing press to stoke up hatred all while promoting “free speech”

There’s something SO reassuring about two elderly white cis men educating me on what is and isn’t acceptable about trans rights.

Why is it that any singers (as well as other celebs) that come out as Terfs are all washed up hasbeens that no one really cares about anymore?
Roisin Murphy, Holly Valance, Macy Grey, Marilyn, Carol Decker, Bette Midler, The Proclaimers...
Hmm, it's almost as if they're looking for attention some other way because their music isn't selling...

Oh, who gives a SHIT? The Proclaimers? Who's opinion are we asking next, Cutting Crew? Mister Mister?

was a joke answer

Jokes are funny!

For what it’s worth - apparently this was taken out of context and was a joke answer amid various other joke answers which kind of makes sense? For all Marina’s faults, I don’t think she is stupid enough to come out as a TERF as brazenly as this…

She's a bit "both sides" for my liking but I wouldn't have had her down as a TERF. Frankie Boyle is doing a public interview with her and he wouldn't do it if she was a transphobe.

Jokes are funny!

Not all attempts at jokes are though...
