Placemarking for later Smile
If JHB would just tweet the petition it would make such a difference...(pretty please)

Yes that was Posie Parker

SmurfNotTerff · 17/04/2018 09:50

Yes sweary how refreshing

womanhuman · 17/04/2018 09:50

Even though the scouts are mixed sex, I’d still expect that males and females don’t share mixed sleeping quarters.

I don’t know what their actual policy is though.

SwearyG · 17/04/2018 09:49

In a change to normal radio interviews they listened to two women and no transactivists in the phone in! A stark contrast to the BBC approach.

SmurfNotTerff · 17/04/2018 09:48

Was that first caller Posie Parker ?
If so good on her, if not good on the caller

IsHalfTermOverYet · 17/04/2018 09:47

Brilliant caller's question - "what exactly IS a trans child?"

SmurfNotTerff · 17/04/2018 09:47

Glad JHB mentioned that its not trans people leading this but TRA's

IsHalfTermOverYet · 17/04/2018 09:46

Nic was great - lots of strong points.

Another point is why can't Scouts welcome a 'trans girl'? Scouts could concentrate on trying to make it more welcoming for feminine boys.

DontCisgenderMe · 17/04/2018 09:44

Well done Nic. A calm and reasoned discussion with lots of good points made. Biology matters.

What a stark contrast to IW's performance the day before.

womanhuman · 17/04/2018 09:43

My issue with this (safeguarding notwithstanding) is that it says there’s a right way to be a girl and a wrong way to be a girl and if you girl in the right way, you are a girl, even if you are male.

That’s a message I’d rather not give my DC.

Angryresister · 17/04/2018 09:40

Great and to the point interview.it was refreshig not to have men talking over Nic and the host. It feels like the mood is changing ..

Trousersdontmakemeaman · 17/04/2018 09:38

Read out GG statement saying all girls are welcome (!) newspeak obviously, and shame its become politicised.

SmurfNotTerff · 17/04/2018 09:38

Fucking twaty statement from GG at the end.

They will give full support to transgirls

SO NOT TO TRANSBOYS THEN

JHB was good yesterday with IW
JHB said IW would not control her (JHB) choice of words

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 17/04/2018 09:35

Great point about excluding girls who are questioning their gender ID.

The TRA mum will love that one eh?

They are including 'some' girls and 'some' boys.

Nic is incredibly articulate and calm. A perfect advocate. Well done!

I wondered why she wasn't making more of legal position of the equalities act, but it was touched on towards the end. It is in front of the Equalities Commission, so maybe they are letting them get on with it for now.

Thank goodness Dr Nic has mentioned gender-questioning girls!! Brilliant.

SmurfNotTerff · 17/04/2018 09:32

JHB peak trans a while ago

Good they have mentioned if girls want to trans they have to leave

Thanksforthatamazingpost · 17/04/2018 09:32

"I refute that this is trans inclusion. They are excluding trans children who are female"
