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!

^Oh my god, just suck his cock James while you are at it
Hahaha you could just tell that the 'chemically female' TIM was so getting off on the fact that he now has breasts and a cock, imagine the thrill he gets from exposing himself in the women's changing rooms at the gym
It's such a horny life being an autogynephilic isn't it, not to mention all the love you get from everyone when you tell them how oppressed you are^

I know, does James know he's now a wank story forever for a man with breasts?

He's on the phone to a man with a man's voice telling him how mentally he has struggled, got a pair of breast's and now and he's better. And women are the ones with the trust issues? James, you are so gullible!

He just liked my reply “He hates women” to @ThePosieParker**

What?

Does he think that’s funny or clever?

poshme · 19/03/2018 13:36

Terf tactic- haven't you heard? Transwomen get the symptoms of periods- the mood swings, the headaches, the tender breasts. Cos of the hormones.
Don't be exclusionary by saying they can't understand your period pain. They feel pain.
It's just the same.

Right?

MAN: 'Women, keep yourself safe! Don't walk down dark alleys, don't get too drunk, don't wear a skirt that is too short, don't get in a taxi on your own, don't park in quiet car parks at night, make sure you are carrying your keys between your knuckles etc etc.

WOMAN:' well yes, I do all that. Another suggestion I have to keep women safe is to not allow male bodied people into sex segregated spaces, like toilets, changing rooms, prisons or refuges. It's actually a double whammy, because not only will it ensure the women using these facilities are safe, women who have suffered trauma at the hands of a male will be able to use these facilities comfortably, safe in the knowledge that they will not be near anyone male. Win win really'.

MAN: What an outrageous suggestion, how dare you suggest that all men are lurking on every corner waiting to attack you. NAMALT you know.

I wasn't there cheerleading during your interview Sweary but I am so very impressed and grateful to you and Amy, you may have been too nervous to put your hand up at a meeting but what you have actually done is far beyond that. You are a true feminist activist and I admire you enormously. Thank you, you are one brave woman.

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 19/03/2018 13:32

Funnily enough Lady he used to be the only presenter I liked on LBC.
At least he's not a raving right winger.

Now however I am not so sold.

Nosetothesun · 19/03/2018 13:31

I found it interesting that one of the transwomen said 'I didn't feel like a man, I didn't look like a woman'. Doesn't this go right to the heart of it?

GabeIsShocking · 19/03/2018 13:31

He confirmed he hates women, wow his poor daughter.

LadyMcLadyCrisps · 19/03/2018 13:30

I would like to say that I am shocked by JOB, but I am not in the slightest, and I am surprised that so many here are so shocked. He is the singular reason I do not listen to LBC, (and I am not the only one amongst my peers who feel the same) he is the same on every issue, he takes a position, and belittles, demeans, shuts down and humiliates ANYONE who doesn’t tow his personal/political agenda line. I cannot bear the man, he ticks the balance boxes in name only, he never truly allows balance by virtue of the way he suppresses and controls the dialogue.

LBC would be amazed just how many extra listeners they could achieve if only this guy was not there.

hilbobaggins · 19/03/2018 13:30

He’s reading his tweets.

He just liked my reply “He hates women” to @ThePosieParker

nauticant · 19/03/2018 13:29

Well Nosetothesun a man needs your support. You must drop everything and rush to his side. #puthimfirst

Battleax · 19/03/2018 13:29

I feel for Katelyn but why aren't we campaigning for better NHS treatment for transgender people so that they aren't in the position of waiting for years for treatment. I would support that. Any reasonable person would.

This^

James O’B, (OTOH) —for example— is a twat.

Terftastic · 19/03/2018 13:27

JOB - "I'm thinking about periods."

I'd like to ask any of the transwomen who phoned into JOB today whether they've experienced the period pains I'm having at the moment?

They say they feel like a woman? Well, this woman feels as though her insides are being twisted and dragged out though her belly button right at this minute.

JOB was "thinking" about periods. The transwomen are "feeling" like women. Well I'm feeling the period pain right now.

waterlego6064 · 19/03/2018 13:26

Oh, I missed this. Does anyone know where I can listen to it? Maybe someone has recorded it? Sounds fantastic- well done Sweary.

RaininSummer · 19/03/2018 13:24

Hannah that sounds incredibly brilliant. be proud, very very proud and thank you so much. Cant wait to actually hear it.

Nosetothesun · 19/03/2018 13:23

nauticant... He has said that he is a feminist, wants to carry on talking and is currently confused. I have listened to his needs and obviously want to help him!

Testingnamechange1 · 19/03/2018 13:21

Well done Sweary.

Doesn't really matter that JOB is on the fence, or even if he is for self-id. I firmly believe most people think it is madness once they understand it. Which is why it needs to be debated.

nauticant · 19/03/2018 13:19

I think JOB would take it very ill indeed were he asked difficult questions by a female academic.

LangCleg · 19/03/2018 13:18

Oh my god yes, that is exactly what he is doing - he is hedging his bets!

Of course he is, the wanker.

Sweary, you were wonderful. Someone mentioned moving the Overton Window on another thread and you and Amy have double-handedly done just that. All by yourselves. You are completely brilliant and inspirational and I take my hat off to you.

Nosetothesun · 19/03/2018 13:15

I wonder if the list of questions by RRC would help him...

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 19/03/2018 13:13

It's the same old fucking story.

Women are disbelieved, asked to prove everything, not taken seriously.

Men- instantly believed, no proof needed, taken v seriously.

mirialis · 19/03/2018 13:12

She did not bully but did not hold back with LM at all - just plain questioning on the "logic".

Ellenripleysalienbaby · 19/03/2018 13:11

Ooooh Paris Lees is tweeting about self id - Paris is gonna be pissed with James for wobbling over this!

mirialis · 19/03/2018 13:11

Makes me respect Julia HB even more, which is not a position I thought I'd be taking a couple of years ago.

Pratchet · 19/03/2018 13:10

that women are routinely disbelieved about fear of sexual assault from men - asked about "the numbers" - yet he believed the transwoman's fear of using the mens with all simpering, sympathetic tones, and no need to ask for the "numbers" at all. yes this, I agree with this, but I believe most people listening can see this now
