Thousands Are Signing A Petition To “Remove Piers Morgan From ‘Good Morning Britain’” For “Dehumanising” Trans People
More than 6,000 people are calling for anchorman of ‘Good Morning Britain’ to be removed from morning show for his “Dehumanisation’ of trans people, ‘Pink News’ report.
“Morgan spreads “dangerous misinformation” about trans people as part of an “insidious agenda” that reduces LGBT+ people to a “mere joke””, the article reports.
The petition states that on September 11th: “Morgan delivered yet another one of his staple rants around gender, sexuality and identification.”
It continues, “Morgan’s disdain for those who dare to identify in a way they feel comfortable manifests in many ways, and as Charlotte Hawkins told Morgan “people can be who they want to be”, he plainly replied - “no they can’t”.
“This is the kind of dehumanising dismissal of transgender/non-binary/gender-fluid individuals that perpetuates those suicide rates and keeps them alarmingly high.
“Morgan dictates to his viewers that it’s acceptable to deny an LGBTQ+ person of their rights; it’s acceptable to tell them they don’t exist; it’s acceptable to call them ‘snowflakes’ when they get rightfully upset.”
Morgan's response to those signing the petition was to call them “virtue-signalling snowflakes”.
He tweeted that those demanding ITV fire him should “drive an advertiser boycott too”.
“That’s what you virtue-signalling snowflakes are good at: trying to cancel & silence people who dare to challenge your often ludicrous & dangerous views,” he said.
