Should Piers Morgan Be Fired for His Views on Gender? | Good Morning Britain

I do you think piers is so offensive well I think the way that piers talks about trans people and specifically non-binary people is that you mock them you make fun of them use them as entertainment use the lives of real people in this country a vulnerable minority as something to make fun of and get a reaction and I don't think that's the quality journey when you claim that you're a two-spirit pain yeah you know why did that go on just you and I have this debate about the hundred genders yeah I made the point if literally you can now identify in a hundred different ways your gender could in two-spirit person and all this other stuff then I am entitled to identify as a two-spirit penguin in other words there are no limits and what's interesting is you want me to respect all those hundred genders however ludicrous some of them are but you have zero respect for my right to identify myself in any way I see fit so in other words it's one more for you you say everyone's entitled to say they can be whatever they want but the moment I decide that I want to be a parrot penguin you go absolutely nuts I'll go to control myself identify that's not a point I'm making but it's not transphobic okay is exposing a flaw in your position it isn't because being a penguin isn't agenda that's not on the gender spectrum can't you see how he's taking it to that degree it doesn't matter how many times you pretend to be pingu Morgan that's still not a gender that people can identify with but what we know is that there will be people watching this program this morning who might be vulnerable who might be unsure that a trans that a non-binary and it can do real damage when I was growing up I watched GMTV religiously and I was gay and unsure about my sexuality and I fear that if that had been mocked constantly on breakfast telly there but on that point there are a few people who have been louder and prouder about promoting gay rights on television then I have really relentlessly on this program 2-0 credit people like you writing gaily is she nobody has been loud and proud in promoting trans rights an Indian firm that because she's seen it and she's responded to it and come on and debated it with me so when you call me racist homophobic but I've seen all the stuff on Twitter in the last two days right it's a bit of an apparently I'm racist I'm transphobic I'm bigoted I'm homeless it's all baloney it's actually baloney what I think should be happening is this whole gender debate to me has got completely out of control and and the reason I feel so insane I'll come to engineer mode the reason I feel incensed about this hundred gender thing imagine being in DeWitt in India Willoughby who's gone through transitioning which is an extraordinarily difficult emotional psychological and physical process lasting a long period of time mm-hm and then when you finally get to transition to be a woman right have you wanted to be that your your whole life then you get told actually it's meaningless because there are now a hundred ways now identified Jeff India yeah I think piers is a beacon of light and most trans people are actually gonna use the word transitioners here because transgender now has become something completely different transgender now is about floating about in the middle no commitment you pick and choose who you want to be and with the greatest respect I don't need any gay people coming in to represent me because I'm trans it's not the same as being gay and if you're saying that you know this is making a mockery of gender well won't your views on drag I find drag far more offensive than anything that Perez says drag agenda no but drag is gay men dressing up as women in a flamboyant way exaggerated manner and mannerisms not accept it is it is that's a ridiculous thought do you not accept though that you identifies as you were you a trans woman no I know like you know I no longer identify as trans because it becomes so embarrassing because of people like you and what you chose India I'm ashamed of it he must have thought there are people there are bigoted people I this protector a hunter a bigot Asifa missile II don't recognize your identity why does it make why is it okay when you recognize that that is unacceptable and bigoted for you to turn to non-binary people and say you don't recognize their identity if you're not a racist edible okay listen how can non-binary be transgender what exactly are you trying on Braille you don't even believe in gender so how can I be trans in it's made a mockery of that I totally agree in Ossipee but you're not compassionate it's this hard line there they've been subjected to more foul abuse on social media apps and I had in the last few days since this campaign started against me there is an aspect of I'm afraid your lobby group for one of them over at the gender lobby group which is highly abusive it wants everybody that they don't agree with to be fired canceled destroyed and everything else and I say what is wrong with debate you and I came on and we debated it on here right yeah I actually learned a bit from you and perhaps you learned a bit from me and maybe you didn't but your response to a good natured debate no still not come back on and demand I got fired because we only want people sitting here that you agree with and I say that most people most people I say this with respect to you most people think the concept of 100 genders is utter nonsense and it takes me to say on television get away from this this ridiculous control freak URI stuff that though was allowed to challenge it if it's to me that says that I'm gonna say it and you're not gonna stop me and you're not gonna get me fired certainly use your expertise on gender and you got any gender issues I'm a cisgendered male and I'm feel for you I feel to be comfortable in that y'all may not live to explain why I was born as a man and I identity I'm a man you don't need this here's you don't you think you're under attack imagine being someone who has been criticized by their friends by their family by their school by parts of the media from the day they now are interesting it's got humor it's all where I grew up they knew I grew up in Brighton right about five miles of where I grew up there are now 85 kids identifying as gender-fluid non-binary it is nonsense it's confusing my mental is yeah using everybody you've got kids watching this program now hearing you say there are a hundred ways to identify your gender not male or female through a hundred way to you compassionate and confused you know what dangerous you don't be better than you being fired because actually I'm not intensely keen on this cancelled culture what you signed a petition that we fired I did because you don't seem to want to learn but what would be better how you think is what you mean you want to fire me because you want me to think well you think about liberals today's they've become so a liberal they're only stint in making other people agree with them and think like them and if they don't they know platform them they ban them they cancel them they signed petitions to get people to fire and it is utter nonsense you ever think you go too far then Jim you ever do you ever regret some of the comments I'm not on gender and the reason identified as a two-spirit penguin was actually not actually as you think to make it cheap mockery of people that transition I completely support all transgender people who transition I don't support this hundred gender non sirs because I think it trivializes and demeans and makes a mockery of what people are India and most people who have transitioned on psi this is not translated I think I resent you using that phrase I'm somebody the challenging this ridiculous notion that there are now a hundred genders that is dangerous and I just think the hundred gender thing has thrown everybody surely some people I got totally understand and sympathize with people who have an issue with gender stereotyping hmm but a hundred a hundred ways to do what this is these are this is an umbrella term of non-binary people people who don't consider themselves male or female and these are the terms we have for them to identify but a hundred well I mean those are the different terms that people have actually no different one money can you know what we're not gonna go into that because you don't need to be a world gender expert you just need to be compassionate people and mine are two different things yeah I've seen I've seen the compassion shown to me in the last week it's zero is yest abuse right and what you actually want you want people to it identifies anything they one right to the point that someone like me goes okay in that case I want to be a two-spirit penguin then you go nuts because that's not agenda I know I'm aware spell I'm going to respect the fact that I'm allowed to be there because you want everyone to be whatever they want to be you call people like me snowflakes and say that will wheat yield there's nothing harder than having the guts to be yourself yourself my life is more miserable because of what you're saying and I mention his appointments I can get enraged about all sorts of things I wake up in the morning simmering right I've read about vegan sausage rolls I want to go nuts release we'll have an argument involving vegans however what I don't do is I don't tell people that don't agree with me you have to be fired or cancelled or deep platform I debate with them I don't know I don't like a lot of stuff but I'm happy to have a debate when you had to bail yes I wonder why I thought interesting debate mm-hmm now you're here to debate me getting fired because you don't like the fact I don't agree with you no damage at all no you're damaging people you're damn it I'm telling you you have everything okay your ideology has actually damaged my career whole thing into a joke I've lost work because of what it's become people don't want to get involved with transgender people thank you that you give in to people who have bigoted view question all the people areas what's bigoted about that said again sir everybody thinks 100 gender yes nonsense is bigoted well the problem is that your position I think a great many of them have broader bigotry why are you so offended but all stressed out by people that wanna dog gives your the bond signing petition to have me fired you wanna count letting people you leave I'll sit here and talk about why are you so offended anyone so offended here's I don't talk like that no but he'll do that I do my point is this if you're gonna sit here and talk about minutes what about the offense you cos wanna see but I don't your fence recalls - it's not offensive to say people can live and be the people that they were born to be and when you mock people like Sam Smith that cause he's what I said about Sam Smith two years ago he comes out as a gay man that we all we all cover that right it's a big moment he talks about it we all cover it and within two years he's abandoned that position and now says now he's not sure of his male or female right so he's a singer he's won Best Male category Awards for many years right what is he now gonna enter we now hear the Britta wait a minute we now hear the Brit Awards has to go Awards neutral almost raising as a result of Sam Smith so because of one guy yeah who now says I can't decide if I'm male or female we no longer have best male or female categories you know who will suffer in that women women are so silly they will win less Awards so actually these are interesting issues you know and I should be able to challenge you and to debate it we're about my identity to me half a lifetime to become Who I am today I don't want to live in a neutral world with the greatest respect everything's becoming gender do you agree for example that there is a serious issue about transgender people born to male bodies hue transition to women hmm taking part in female sport and breaking all the records and basically making women born to women bodies female bodies actually they can't compete that fair trans women are women oh they're not they are example a six foot five inch right person born to a male body who's a sprinter as is happening in America right now in Connecticut the women's records have been annihilated by two very tall very strong people who transitioned amount of female in their teams now that now breaking all-female I won't play into the demonization of trans people that's the point transition fair to women is it fair to enrich your actually accept that if we have gender-neutral Awards that there is a real danger living in a misogynistic culture that will mean for um in a recognized I tell you so women now get punished at a war so much okay what about sport what about sport do you think there's any unfairness to be the male for their different sports were in golfer is going to struggle from this okay we feel like I feel like we've now gone into a different area resume you

Im going to go with no

[u/raph1334]

So you can be a 2 spirit non binary lesbian but you can't be a pinguin? How oppressive is that.

[u/TFWnoLTR]

I like Piers so much better when he's on British TV for some reason. He comes off as more sane.

[u/[deleted]]

"Should a reasonable man be fired for stating facts?"

hmm.. such a hard question.

[u/matrixislife]

No, he should be fired for all kinds of crap like being terrible, or encouraging telephone hacking at the Mirror, but not for this.
Tbh, it would be great if we could export him back to the States.
