[quote]Jeremy Clarkson has provoked anger with his bigoted views on gender identity.
The former Top Gear loudmouth wrote that [B]"men who wanted to be women" should be called "ladyboys"[/B].
He also wrote that children with with gender identity issues should not be indulged any more than people who thought they were Napoleon.
He wrote in the Sunday Times: [B]"As far as I was concerned, men who want to be women were only really to be found on the internet or in the seedier bits of Bangkok. They were called ladyboys, and in my mind they were nothing more than the punchline in a stag night anecdote."[/B]
Attitude mag contributor James Dawson, described as "role model for Stonewall" slammed the "dinosaur" on Twitter.
[B]
Clarkson, 55, gave the anecdote of a child, born a boy but had insisted from the age of three that she had a girl's name and wore girls' clothes and, later, that she went to a girls' school.
"And her parents had simply indulged this whim."[/B]

He said a doctor friend compared it to Napoleon complex saying: "I get lots of people in my surgery with a Napoleon complex. But I don't buy them a pointy hat and a French army uniform."
Clarkson said it was no different to children having dreams of being superheroes or spacemen.
He said: [B]"When I was five I wanted to be Alan Whicker, but my parents didn't buy me a blazer and send me to hospital to have my adenoids sewn up."[/B]
One Twitter user slammed him as "the male Katie Hopkins."
Referring to gender re-assignment in prisons like the Isle of Wight, he said: [B]"They tell the screws they want to be women, they get a bit of make-up and some breasts to play with and they are then transferred to a women's prison, where they can spend the rest of their lives being a lesbian.[/B]
[B]"It's every man's dream."[/B][/quote]

Amazon is on suicide watch right now. This is a bigger PR bomb than "fracas with producer"
Yeah perhaps Clarkson should stick to making funny car shows and should avoid getting politcal
Interesting article.

I don't see the problem
[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;49597864]Isn't ladyboy a term used in Thailand?[/QUOTE]
It says that right in the article.
Well, he's not wrong. You can paint stripes on a horse but that doesn't make it a zebra.
"Clarkson is the male Katie Hopkins. That's actually a really apt observation. Says offensive stuff to get attention, fuels career."
Yes, because making the most popular programme ever somehow doesn't give you enough attention.

He's correct, though.

You don't see James May's face being plastered all over tabloid media.

Some people are never satisfied with the attention they get.
He's completely right.

Yes, decades of research into gender identity is rendered null under the mighty "train" argument.
[quote]he said: "...they can spend the rest of their lives being a lesbian.

Why do I get the feeling that he's in the closet?
I'm not triggered by this. Maybe in the future I will be (unlikely).
No big deal.
Ehh. I'm not sure if I agree with him, but like any other celebrity I don't really mind him voicing his opinions.

ho boy where do i fucking start?
what the fuck is wrong with this thread
Well if he is allowed to think this, I'm allowed to think he is a bigoted piece of shit.
I wonder if Amazons execs are regretting taking him on yet.
[QUOTE=Jund;49597922]what the fuck is wrong with this thread[/QUOTE]
People think funny car man is right when he's wrong and a bigot.
Some pretty questionable comments there for sure, but the first couple of quotes sound like he's speaking in past tense. Is there more context to them?

so did he actually use the correct pronouns or did the article change this for him?
what a turd

With British libel laws do you think that newspapers would change a person's quote and further still change it to be less sensationalist?

You sound like a lovely person to debate.

i believe the Queen's English for this is "I am a cunt"
I want a clarkson speech bot now.
Amazing that there are still people like him believing this shit
[QUOTE=fruxodaily;49597920]ho boy where do i fucking start?[/QUOTE]
Maybe actually starting would give your argument some weight.
This is the same man who punched someone over cold food, even if the producer said it's fine (because he wants to keep his job) it's still extremely telling that this is someone who's a complete cunt.
