I wish he hadn’t let Paris dodge the question about what the word woman will actually mean, going forward, by saying the question was ‘boring’.

Hang on.

I've listened to some of this podcast. It isn't a debate because it's an interview. It isn't about women's issues, it's about transgender issues.

I am usually with people on these matters, but let's all be clear what we're complaining about before we jump on the bandwagon.

What Nick Robinson says in his tweet may be ill advised but he is not treating Paris as a woman.

GozerTheGozerian · 10/02/2018 16:03

I’ve complained. First time ever for me too. About the total silencing of women on this programme - on an issue which is about women - and also about the appropriateness of Paris Lees as the trans voice given their abhorrent views on sexual assault and violence. There are much more intelligent, balanced and credible trans voices out there.

I hope the BBC are inundated. What a shitshow this is.

TheGoalIsToStayOutOfTheHole · 10/02/2018 16:00

Absolutely ridiculous. And I am sick of seeing Paris Lees everywhere. Apparently she will not 'debate her right to exist' so this is probably why whenever she is interviewed or whatever, its all men and definitely no feminists. As, actually talking about womens rights is apparently saying that trans people should not exist full stop Hmm

hipsterfun · 10/02/2018 15:55

Nick Robinson blatantly doesn’t believe Paris is a woman.

SteelyPip · 10/02/2018 15:52

I have complained.

Thanks for the heads up and for the link. It was easy to do and I hope if enough of us do it then we might make someone think twice.

Thanks hipsterfun and Machiavellian Smile

picklemepopcorn · 10/02/2018 15:45

I can't get it at the moment.

hipsterfun · 10/02/2018 15:38

Still up, I’m listening now.

MachiavellianBagOfCunts · 10/02/2018 15:38

@exfunfeminist, you can find it via the website. Away from laptop or would post link

ExFunFeminist · 10/02/2018 15:30

The links to the podcast don't work. Is it just me? Or has it been removed?

WitchIwasaWitch18 · 10/02/2018 15:09

I posted a link to this thread and said plenty of opinions over here

Everyonematters · 10/02/2018 15:07

Witch what was your comment?

picklemepopcorn · 10/02/2018 15:07

The lunatics have taken over the asylum.

MachiavellianBagOfCunts · 10/02/2018 14:58

oh, the irony. The link to the podcast in the tweet didn't work, so went via the website. This is the description:

'The journalist and transgender rights activist talks about growing up trans and why the way media debates trans issues makes her angry.'

why the way media debates trans issues makes her angry

Angry

Me too. Me fucking too.

LadyMcLadyCrisps · 10/02/2018 14:56

Are there any journos here brave or willing enough to expose this ridiculous bullshit from the bbc?

WitchIwasaWitch18 · 10/02/2018 14:55

I made a comment and it got marked as spam! Very proud moment even if it was wasted! I was polite too. Talk about being silenced...

LadyMcLadyCrisps · 10/02/2018 14:49

For anyone braver than I (recently peaked and not quite there yet) nick has a facebook page...

LadyMcLadyCrisps · 10/02/2018 14:42

Of the fence... sorry, angry fat fingers...

LadyMcLadyCrisps · 10/02/2018 14:41

OP, I think you should share this to AIBU too, I think more Women NEED to see this and have a right of reply/complaint. I dont care how right on anyone is here on mumsnet, and what side if the femce you fall, surely the irony and hypocrisy cannot be missed here.

LadyMcLadyCrisps · 10/02/2018 14:39

Complained. I told them they are sleepwalking into another Savile scandal. That should hopefully hit a nerve! I am crazy angry about this, I cannot believe what I have witnessed here. I feel more marginalised as a woman currently than I have ever felt in my life, and that is saying something. Offended is not the word.

I have peaked AGAIN! BBC, I see you, you misogynistic patronising sexist cockwombles.

TerfsUp · 10/02/2018 14:35

Complaint sent.

BiologyMatters · 10/02/2018 14:33
