Can we show our support for Jenni? I think she will be in for a kicking tomorrow

Thanks Jenni, for your bravery in speaking the truth

@riversleep would there be any point? I thought stonewall had essentially become all about the trans agenda.

Riversleep · 07/03/2017 14:28

I wonder its worth contacting Rachel Cohen at Stonewall and asking her to explain how denying women's experiences, biology and safety is 'respecting their identity and experiences'?

"Is your complaint addressed by the following?

SS-GB, BBC One, 19 February 2017
Sounds of the 60s, BBC Radio 2"

NO! I hate technology. @LumelaMme I think it's going to take me more!

NamechangeSpartacusMurray · 07/03/2017 14:23

Well done to Julie Bindel. Have also emailed the bbc in complaint.

LumelaMme · 07/03/2017 14:20

sea, I think I just bunged my complaint under 'General BBC' because if you said Radio 4 it then asked you which programme and which episode and so on - it was a rather rubbish system to wade through as if you wanted to change anything (having worked how it forced you down a particular route) you had to start all over again.

It took me three goes. Blush

I've also written to 'Loose Women' to complain about India's ageist misogynistic behavior on Twitter. I wonder what response I'll get!

aginghippy · 07/03/2017 14:16

It pisses me off that it's always middle aged or older women who get targeted in this way.

Why hasn't any 'transphobic' middle aged man been trolled had their job threatened?

hazeyjane · 07/03/2017 14:15

Just watched the Julie Bindel interview, may have whooped a bit.

KindDogsTail · 07/03/2017 14:13

Well done, Jenni.

seafoodeatit · 07/03/2017 14:11

I'm writing a complaint to the bbc too, those better with tech then me which category did you choose for what is the complain about? I'm not sure which it applies to.

Bambambini · 07/03/2017 14:07

Julie was great - as was the anchor who seemed to agree with her.

CoolCarrie · 07/03/2017 13:58

Just got a standard reply from The BBC, saying the complaint will be looked at tomorrow. Let's see what happens when they see just how many of us let our feelings be known!

Pigeggs666 · 07/03/2017 13:58

I've been discussing this with various lefty misogynist men on twitter all morning, under my real identity, but luckily (?) I'm unemployed so they can't get me sacked lol. Sick of it. Not gonna keep quiet anymore

MinimumPaymentMaximumBurrito · 07/03/2017 13:57

I can't believe that that TA tells Julie Bindel that her experience of being no-platformed, etc isn't real! Breathtaking arrogance.

And that the MTF are "scared" of Jenni Murray? FFS. Talk about idiocy.

What the fuck have and do we women live with every day? As Julie pointed out. Julie, you did speak for me in your royal "we"

Satishouse · 07/03/2017 13:56

The interesting thing about the sky interview with Julie Bindel is that Julie enters into the interview on full throttle, giving it both barrels to the transwoman, Jane. Jane, the transwoman in a bid to appear feminine and coquettish (note how she speaks and places her hands) comes across as completely ineffectual and weak against Julie. Very interesting

UsedToBeAPaxmanFan · 07/03/2017 13:39

I am Jenni Murray.

I thought the article was well written. I didn't agree with every point she made but I certainly don't think she should have been disciplined in any way.

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 07/03/2017 13:35

My complaint to the BBC. I will post the reply I receive.

Complaint Summary: Complaining you have given Jenni Murray a warning

Full Complaint: I am writing to express my deep disquiet about the fact you have given Jenni Murray a warning about being impartial following her article on transpeople and woman's issues. Her article was thoughtful, caring, supportive of trans people, well-researched...everything you should expect of a senior BBC presenter. What it was not, was silenced into meekly accepting a position -that transwomen are women - which the vocal and forceful transactivist community have been trying to impose by bullying, abusing and threatening anyone who dares challenge it. The backlash she has received online amply makes my point.

You have warned her for not being impartial on a controversial issue. Does this mean to say you think the impartial approach is to accept the proposition that transwomen are women? This would be to ignore science, biology, linguistics....everything. That position is akin to the Emperor's new clothes. A woman is an adult human female. She has XX chromosomes. THAT is the impartial truth and for the BBC to fail to recognise this is terrifying. You are supporting the misogynistic bullies of the transactivism movement and ignoring the reality of half the population.

I expect better of you as an institution. I ask that the warning should be rescinded.

Satishouse · 07/03/2017 13:26

Oh Julie Bindel! What a brilliant interview! Love it

WorkingItOutAsIGo · 07/03/2017 13:10

Thanks for organising the letter. I have emailed the Times, Woman's Hour and complained to the BBC this morning. So brave of Jenni.

I am Jenni Spartacus.

good old Julie Bindel wiping the floor with a trans activist

Ev1lEdna · 07/03/2017 12:34

I complained to the BBC and wrote to women's hour to express my support for Jenni.

Lalsy · 07/03/2017 12:15

Microferret, that would be great. I don't know the best way to go about it though: I would happily sign something, and contribute here, but don't feel able to share stuff like that on social media under my real name (I admire those who do and wish I felt differently). Would it be possible to draft something on a new thread here and then publish on one of the petition sites?

In my letter to the BBC I included a link to the Gender apostates website, and said they should be listening to trans women who disagree with the current accepted ideology.

tam0shanks · 07/03/2017 10:42

How right Jenni Murray is, 100% so and how wonderful that she was brave enough to say it for all we women wanting to but not having the opportunity. I also agreed with Germaine Greer, crude or not. I'm 70 and "I'm Jenni Murray."

MotherofPearl · 07/03/2017 10:36

Tinkiiev, thanks so much for posting the link to that article from the New Statesman. Excellent reading.
