James is going to be discussing trans issues today on LBC. His show is on now - not sure what time the segment will start, but should be good!

You put your point across well. This last person was someone I would have sympathy with the family and friends having to put up with that level of poor me me me me me, exhausting.

Twat

If you don't want Katelyn to be subjected harassment in the loos, take it up with the men harassing!

Pratchet · 19/03/2018 12:13

Here we go another terf yay

OvaHere · 19/03/2018 12:13

Well done Sweary.

JOB should spend more time listening to his own daughter.

Elendon · 19/03/2018 12:13

Oh and well done Hannah.

You are a star! Star

unfortunately I don't listen to the JOB live so I'm going to have to wait for this one on social media.

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 19/03/2018 12:12

I wish I had heard this - Hannah sounds like she was brilliant!! People just thought women would roll over and take this assault on our dignity because men said so. Hah!!! They thought WRONG!

TERFragetteCity · 19/03/2018 12:12

SwearyG you are fucking awesome.

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 19/03/2018 12:12

Hey Sweary!

Great job.

If you need to stay calm maybe not.....me and DP roaring at the radio in fucking frustration at the self absorbed twat on after.

Ellenripleysalienbaby · 19/03/2018 12:12

I'm holding on to the fact that JOBs daughter said that about having periods and being a woman!

His own daughter is a TERF!

SwearyG · 19/03/2018 12:10

I take it I shouldn't listen to the rest of the show then.

Elendon · 19/03/2018 12:10

So this tans person is scared to go to a male toilet but can't see why women don't want men in their women only toilet. - ffs

I agree absolutely. It's this very sentiment that trans peaked me. I got the distinct feeling that trans women only thought of themselves, which is fair enough, but to add the tagline of trans women are women means they don't give one iota of empathy to women.

'Trans women should fight for their own spaces' - to quote my 16 year old son.

Frustrating but understandable - this is how the threat of suicide is always responded to. It's really useful to see it in action - it illustrates why important decisions should not be made in response to extreme emotions.

ohfortuna · 19/03/2018 12:09

this person is like someone on Jeremy Kyle, exhausting, self absorbed and someone you want to avoid
The key thing about this person is that they are not as intellectually strong as Hannah and therefore much easier for James to manipulate

Ellenripleysalienbaby · 19/03/2018 12:09

I felt a little like Katelyn was getting a bit desperate at the end there..... And won't be happy that JOB said he could still see where Hannah was coming from.

The glaringly obvious solution here is a third space.

GabeIsShocking · 19/03/2018 12:09

Family and friends reject narcissism.

Mouthtrousersafrocknowandthen · 19/03/2018 12:08

James rally hates women, how did he ever managed to father children!

GabeIsShocking · 19/03/2018 12:08

I suspect like Caitlyn Jenner, it's not being trans that is the problem in this case either, it's the narcissism.

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 19/03/2018 12:07

Miranda where are you???

We need you now more than ever.

My blood pressure is sooo fucking high I feel a bit weird!!

I want to call in but I won't be able to without swearing!

Ellenripleysalienbaby · 19/03/2018 12:07

Yes, so transwomen can't use the men's toilets because they don't want to share with men, but women should have to share toilets with 'self id women' (ie. Men)?

JOB can't be that stupid, he is trying so hard to stay woke on this, but it is slipping.

JudIII · 19/03/2018 12:07

This is ridiculous. Thank God for this thread.

HomeTerf · 19/03/2018 12:07

Oh well, reassuring to discover that my previous impression of JOB was correct. The man is indeed an irredeemable arse.

Pratchet · 19/03/2018 12:06

Oh please feel so sorry for me that you put millions of women and kids at risk

JoB 'as long as I have a job, you'll have a voice'

DontCisgenderMe · 19/03/2018 12:06

So JOB can accept that Catelyn is in danger from men in toilets/changing rooms, but not that women are? How does that work then?

SpartacusReality · 19/03/2018 12:06

JOB needs to have a look at Hope Pink's twitter feed. Safely using men's toilets for years.
