Gay British Actor James Dreyfus Under Fire By Trans Activists

Threatening legal action.

They did the same thing to Allison Moyet.

I don't know who he is. What did he do/say?

He's old, fug and unknown, so who cares?

For what?

"Respect people's identities no matter what"

"Oh okay, I don't like being called 'cis'anything. I hope you respect that"

"NOOOOOOOOO THAT IS VIOLENCE!"

It probably had something to do with this.

See the acclaimed British short film Sequins right here for free, the story of a teenager in 1990s Blackpool who wants to be a drag queen.

It took a Kickstarter campaign raising £6500 to bring the film into existence, and now the acclaimed British short Sequins has been made available for free viewing online.

Written by Amy Clarke and directed by Michael Beddoes, the film is a coming of age story set in Blackpool in the late 1990s. The character of Paul has a burning ambition to become a drag queen, something that earns him ridicule and abuse.

Robbie Gaskell takes on the lead role, in an ensemble that also includes James Dreyfus and Ben Willbond. And the movie has already picked up awards attention too.

You can see the film in its entirety here…

I just checked and one of the main losers behind this pathetic attempt at generating Twitter outrage (for publicity, of course) is some rogaine-powered He/Him Bisexual "Filmmaker" muscle mary named Kevin (the one in the pink sleeveless shirt). This complete and utter homophobic nobody had the gall to call Dreyfus a "c-list, washed up gay actor" lmao. The one who made the petition to get Dreyfus fired is a morbidly obese They/Them nonbinary named Billie.

Wake up. The alphabet soup fucking hates us.

He seems like a DLer.

This is Dreyfus' own affair, I want nothing of it.

Well played, R10

So what did he say??

R12, "Please don’t bring cultism/ extremism to my door. Not ‘cis’. Adore animals, horror & true crime. Loathe identity politics & hysteria. Sometimes I act."

Don’t see any issues with that

Was he the lead in Gimme Gimme Gimme with Kathy Burke?

Yes.

I love him - he's hilarious. Fuck those trans-cultists.

Humourless motherfuckers

Have they actually got him fired from anything yet, OP?

Apparently yes.

He probably said everyone with a penis is a He/Him and don't try to tell us different!

How can anyone be so ignorant when it is a known fact that many women do have a penis!?

According to his twitter he said he supported women's rights to seperate spaces.

He also wrote 'Not "CIS"' on his twitter profile. Shock-horror!

Trans and NBs are so 2018, I'm over them. They and their 'friends' (who would never fuck them by the way) tend to be insufferable, humorless, boring cunts. I try to avoid them wherever I can.

They actually have another petition going to get him fired. They are calling on companies to not give him a platform. This job is an audiobook series. He’s not supposed to ever be able to work again. He’s reading a fictional series, not discussing trans issues. These people are truly insane.

Because he said "I'm not CIS"? WTF

So how do we support him?

He was so cute back in his "Gimme Gimme Gimme" days. I don't blame him for his attitude, but surely he should have learned by now that if you're in the entertainment industry you'd better keep your opinions about the glorified drag queens quiet since many of them are profoundly insane.

Well, no one said the truth wasn't uncomfortable.

For those who claim name is not familiar, you probably have seen James Dreyfus in various film or television roles. For DL fans he played Christopher, the gay hairdresser who offers to arrange male escorts for Eddie and Patsy in the "Sex" episode of Ab Fab

Voltaire never said that. It was some crazy klan dude.

That said, it’s an accurate statement.

Parts of the gay media have never forgiven James Dreyfus for Gimme Gimme Gimme.

Here's the amazing Kathy Burke defending him.

Team Dreyfus.

Tired of Trans Fascism.

I love Kathy Burke -- though that accent can be difficult for Americans to understand! Does anyone know who that is at 1:47? And when she defended Dreyfus (also very funny in The Thin Blue Line series), who are the two sitting at the table NOT clapping at 1:59?

I loved GGG and I had no idea that Dreyfus took such a beating in the gay press. For the record, I'll entertain discussions of transphobia but "transexclusionary" must be wiped out. I don't feel that they're part of the gay community in the least. Go get your own group.

Kathy Burke is a treasure! Speaks as she finds and if you don't like it fuck off, that's her!

[quote]Does anyone know who that is at 1:47?

Presenter, journo Matthew Wright.

He's a bit of a right wing Brexit supporter is James, which doesn't always win him a lot of friends with a lot in the more classically liberal acting circles.

Journos with egos, I don't like em....

What’d he do? Only thing brought up so far is that he said he’s “not cis”. Is that it?

From what I can see, it started because he posted this in response to an article written by trans activist Juno Dawson who wrote that gay men are gay men because it is a consolation prize because they couldn't be women.

@DreyfusJames As a gay man, I’d just like to say this is perhaps the most fucking idiotic thing I have EVER read.

@DreyfusJames What makes me sad about this nonsense is how it affects some transsexuals who simply want to get on with life, without all this aggro & hatred coming from certain quarters of these ‘activists’. Doing so much more harm than good.

@DreyfusJames Let me just say (yet again), that I whole heartedly support the transsexual community. Always have done. My issue is with certain individuals who seem to think it’s fine to hate on women, lesbians, men , gay men etc. And claim to speak for ALL trans people. Night. Thanks all. X

[quote] Christopher, the gay hairdresser who offers to arrange male escorts for Eddie and Patsy in the "Sex" episode of Ab Fab

Idris Elba was one of the escorts.

[quote]who are the two sitting at the table NOT clapping at 1:59?

No idea, but that's lesbian comic Rhona Cameron of lesbian comic Rhona Cameron fame on the left.

The baldy man isn't clapping but clearly finds it funny, but old misery guts on the right looks like her bunion is THROBBING.

[quote]He's a bit of a right wing Brexit supporter is James, which doesn't always win him a lot of friends with a lot in the more classically liberal acting circles.

Dreyfus is not "a bit of a right wing Brexit supporter" - he's repeatedly said he's not a Tory but as a British Jew he's naturally repulsed by Corbyn's Labour party, along with plenty of non Jews, and has voiced his support for other Jews under attack from Corbynites.

The idea pushed by the Corbynites that anyone who doesn't support Corbyn is a Tory is one of the reasons why Corbyn's Labour had their worst defeat for 80 years barely 6 months ago.

In his own words:

Quite happy for a Labour government. Just not under Corbyn. Absolutely not.

Come on, moderate Labour MPs. What are you going TO DO????

So May=useless. Moderate Labour=useless. Corbyn =atrocious. That’s it?? Fuck me.

R29 A self-professed "filmmaker" and "screenwriter" with a thousand followers on Twitter (an embarrassing number given he whores himself out) mocking a man who has worked in the industry for decades and calling him irrelevant? Sorry, but that's fucking pathetic and hilarious.

[quote]I loved GGG and I had no idea that Dreyfus took such a beating in the gay press

They kept going on about how the character of Tom was a stereotype and that we should be challenging the stereotype to show the straights we can be more than that or some usual self-hating shit. And then the same people would praise Will & Grace as fantastic stuff. I'm pretty sure Graham Norton had some of the same shit aimed at him during the early part of his career.

I adored Gimme Gimme Gimme but also felt uncomfortable watching it, which really made the show the awesome thing it was. I sort of get why some gays had problems with his character but that's only because the character was something very real although over the top. But then again so was the whole show. It's hard to imagine anyone would really hate anyone involved in the show and I feel bad for Dreyfus for having gone through that.

If he's lost jobs because of these cunts he should sue them. Militant trans people are doing more harm for their cause by acting like this instead of being reasonable, and they are making gay people dislike them more and more.

I think GGG worked because it was so ridiculously over the top and it was obviously that they were crazy and not normal people by any means.

[quote] but as a British Jew he's naturally repulsed by Corbyn's Labour party

He’s not Jewish.

Alan Carr has consistently been attacked for the same thing. Always by the femmiest femmes that ever femmed, of course.

Wow, the BBC fires him over signing the Stonewall petition over trans matters. Not really surprised as the UK is a PC nanny state at this point with the police calling people up over a trans critical re-tweet to see if the person is “thinking correctly”.

Here’s the trans cunt who made the petition.

Someone is comparing Dreyfus with nazis in R51's Twitter link. This is so ridiculous that I don't know what to say.

What are you talking about, r52? When did the BBC fire him? And from what?

R52, are you saying that transcunt made the petition that Dreyfus signed? I think you got something confused.

R55, trans cunt started petition to get him fired; James signed anti-Stonewall petition over trans stance, as did Alison Moyet.

R54, he was fired from BBC special for The Master.

He also played Bette Midler's pianist in her short-lived sitcom.

Are trannies obsessed with the 'neurodivergent' label as well? They're worse than cane lesbians.

All these people have their pronouns listed in their bios.

They don’t believe anyone says anything critical of them should be employed. Whats this platform they keep talking about? The jobs Dreyfus gets aren’t ones where he gets to talk about his personal views. It’s merely acting. I’m guessing they don’t want him to have any profile. A large profile can get followers to his Twitter account. This is frightening. They don’t want anyone to have a difference of opinion or in disagreement with themselves. In the UK opinions that deviate from what the elites have deemed acceptable come with a jail sentence. This is one thing that Americans have gotten right. I will never support hate speech legislation because of what Dreyfus and others are going through.

Stonewall and trans advocacy movement have ultimately been a victim of their own success with the Trans Women are Women/Trans Men Are Men message.

We can have discussions where supposedly serious politicians promote the idea of biological sex being a spectrum but the when it comes to trans women it's binary - TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN - there's no willingness to differentiate between a trans woman who has legally changed their status, changed their name, had surgery etc, and a trans woman with a beard, hairy chest who flops around in jogging bottoms and demands women give up sex segregated spaces.

Until trans groups address the Yaniv Conundrum there will be push back.

R62, they will scream at you that gender and sex are different.

[quote]they will scream at you that gender and sex are different.

Orwell was so prophetic. He predicted people would change words and give them new meanings to fit their own ideology.

R62, they pretend sex doesn't exist, only gender identity.

Trans learned a long time ago that basically gays don't give a fuck about them, period.

Long excluded or at least given the side eye at major gay bars/clubs (at least the white/European ones). They also watched whenever "gay rights" in terms of anti-discrimination laws came up gays were happy to throw trannies under a bus if it meant getting those bills passed into laws (see Barney Frank and his efforts).

Once SSM became legal across USA and much of Europe large segments of *ahem* power gays and others moved onto other proprieties; marrying, having children, decorating their homes, etc.... Trans are determined not to be left out this time around and haven't been quiet since.

Where NYT once couldn't shut up about SSM, it shifted to trans issues soon as the former matter was settled.

Trans know that many people don't have much issues with gays; a group who fought and won removal of homosexuality as a mental illness ages ago. Trannies OTOH are a group many just don't have any use for, period. They are seen by both many gays and or course large majority of straights as mentally ill or at least disturbed persons. Gays have succeeded largely in making their lifestyle the new normal, now trans want that to happen for themselves as well. Jury is still out on how far they will get as many seem to be exactly what most would have them; a sandwich short of a picnic basket.

Trans are nothing to do with gays, r65. We are attracted to people of our own sex, trannies hate their sex. They are two different issues so why the heck should gays have prioritised the loon demands of trans over our own needs?

Trannies should just get lost and start their own movement and stop hijacking the gay movement with their bullshit.

R66

No one said trans and gays had anything in common, they don't really but that isn't the point of their movement.

If trans don't attach themselves to this moment of "equality" and "inclusion" for gays then they are done. Obviously there are those out there who agree since you have major push various entertainment/media and adjacent industries to push trans as the next big thing. Just look at how much ink has been spilled on Bruce Jenner's transformation...

R67 they don't have to attach themselves to gays to gain acceptance. The issue is that they are using the gay rights movement to gain power for themselves that somehow always ends up taking power and protection away from real women. It's a misogynistic movement and it's dragging gays down because "LGBT" is the only allowed acronym.

And because the trans argument gets its power from attention whores, they have to include nonbinaries and pansexuals and "queers" (straight people) in with their nonsense, which gives them more power too. So gays end up getting pushed out regardless.

They're using our power to take our power away from us.

Can we please stop focusing on this privileged, white, cis-gay man and start focusing on the INTERNATIONAL GROUP OF POWERFUL LESBIANS who are taking over the world??? I'm afraid!!!

Amy Dyess looks just like Rocco Ritchie.

[quote] They are seen by both many gays and or course large majority of straights as mentally ill or at least disturbed persons

Maybe because they are? at least the ones that are the most "vocal"

....

'Canceled' is the social media's version of making someone 'disappear.' If that doesn't give you chills, then...
