David Tennant, of Dr Who fame, apparently said some pro trans things and now the TERFs are going after him on Twitter. His response is that he isn't worried because, and I quote, "I'll be fine, Terfs can't climb stairs"
I want that on a T-shirt. No, I NEED that on a T-shirt!
ETA: Apparently it was a parody account that said the stairs line. I still want it on a T-shirt.
@goatsarah This is a fantastic quote even without context, but is there context to this stairs thing? Like, don't get me wrong; I am already picturing a world where TERFs cannot climb stairs and just hiss at you from below as you mock them from higher ground, but is there a reason for this?
@birdy @goatsarah In the old series of Doctor Who, Daleks couldn't climb stairs
@Altreus @birdy @goatsarah Thank you. I did not know the reference.
Love this quote even more, now.
@trollball @Altreus @birdy @goatsarah also the Daleks aren't just "bad guys". They are a species artificially designed for the sole purpose of hate, that's all they know. They have no art, no culture, nothing at all. Only hatred towards anything and anyone that isn't Dalek.
@pelayo @trollball @Altreus @birdy @goatsarah
No doubt non-canonical, but there are references to dalek opera and poetry (Exterminate Daffodils!)
@pelayo @trollball @Altreus @birdy @goatsarah
Also also, the Daleks were very specifically created by scriptwriter Terry Nation as "Nazis in space", so to anyone who knows the show's history (which Tennant definitely does), comparing a group of people to the Daleks comes with an implied "and we know who they were based on"...
