      This is just indicative of the increasing hostility facing trans people attempting to live their lives in this country today.

      A teacher having a PI investigate them and having footage of their home publicised to an audience of millions for the ‘crime’ of being Queer. This seems like another transparent case of harassment by Tommy Robinson.

      It feels like a matter of time until there’s another Lucy Meadows or Brianna Ghey.

      >Transgender teacher ~~followed home~~ stalked and filmed by ~~far-right activist~~ violent, fraudulent, racist thug ~~Tommy Robinson~~ Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.

      Fixed the headline.

      >In the aftermath of the video’s release, the local MP and former Conservative education secretary Gavin Williamson shared a letter on social media that he had sent to the school’s headteacher, in which he said he ‘express [his] concern’ over the situation.

      No comment on a teacher being stalked and harassed at their home then.

      Would be an awful shame if people started turning up at Gavin’s house to ask him questions.

      Ah the career criminal is back at the stalking and harassment. Must have a big tick bill due, get lifted then get the dafties to pay it again through ‘legal donations’

      So will he be charged with stalking or harassment? Or is this the police and government yet again saying that if you’re LGBT that your existence is controversial and political enough that you should expect or even deserve to deal with this bullshit?

      Gavin Williamson to the rescue. /s

      Why doesn’t he crawl back under the stone he came out from? 

      As an ex-education secretary wouldn’t you know to contact the school instead of seeking publicity first?

      The non-binary erasure here is real.

      Schools teach pronouns. They’re part of the English language.

      If the reporter or Lennon-Yaxley had paid attention to BBC bite-size they’d know that Mx is an honorific title and not a pronoun.

      To go back to my school days and paraphrase from Chaucer’s Miller’s tale

      ‘what an absolute queynte’

      Why should he give a crap that a teacher has asked to be referred to as Mx, like I just don’t get the issue

      It’s so weird knowing that he lives in Spain and chooses to travel over here to harass British law-abiding taxpayers. What did they say at the Epstein files? He could be bought at any price?

      > Footage shows Robinson repeatedly questioning the teacher outside their home about whether it is ‘right’ for students to address them as Mx.

      Christ it’s insane that there are people who find this stuff engaging.

      Teachers are already some of the most stressed and overworked people there are why make this persons life even more hard and put them and their students at risk I don’t understand what the end goal is other than public shunning or extermination.

      Yet again we see a transgender person being harassed and demonised despite doing nothing wrong at all.

      Why? Why are we allowing this?

      As a trans woman the thought of having someone like Robinson show up AT MY HOUSE is terrifying. I hope this teacher is somewhere safe.

      This reminds me of when teachers used to get followed, harassed and outed because they were gay.

    19. Ok_Net4562 on

      Hate him. And all you hear from the kids at the school is that the teacher is fine. Thing is, places like chezzo and the rest of walsall habe some of the most racist and biggoted boomer in the country. That area was one of the only to vote in the BNP. So the kids have prob come home and said my teachers a “mx” and theyve gone “NOT ON MY BLUDDY WOTCH!”
      Which is why our tommeh is there and not some pta meeting instead.

      Nothing will instill confidence in women like a man stalking someone to their house.

      These guys are complete and utter thugs and liars.

      Mx was an alternative to gendered honorifics (such as Mr. and Ms.) in the late 1970s. The title is older than most Reddit users and older than the stalker.

    23. 360Saturn on

      Please do tell us again how the end goal of allllll of these ‘just asking questions’ and ‘just have some concerns about sports’ positions isn’t completely hounding well-adjusted transgender adults with jobs and respect in their communities completely out of public life altogether.

      This is stalking and harrassment.

    25. Hellstorm901 on

      Has this vile guy still not paid his followers back? Oh yeah he really doesn’t like people mentioning that, he got all his followers to give him money to raise a legal defence then used the money to flee to Spain and have a holiday there until he got bored, returned and requested free legal council by taxpayers

      People who think this is new should check out what Graham Linehan has been up to, this kind of crap is very normal now in the UK

    27. Illustrated-Society on

      Let’s call him what he is, a far right shill who act on the highest bidder, anyone who believes anything he says is a puppet now. (I’ve heard somewhere he’s quite cheap though) *cough* Epstein *cough* Files.

    28. Dry_Construction4939 on

      Are the BBC going to do a live headline on this, like they do every time a trans woman loses the ability to use public toilets?

      What do you mean they’re not even going to write an article???Â
