Ha...I love James O B, but he'll smash you down if he can, granted!
Same with NF - I often found him so condescending and obnoxious especially to feminist, left leaning types- stopped listening to him a while ago. However I have a feeling he might be with you on this one!
I'll be tuning in - fantastic that you have this coverage and from the articulate and calm ladies I've heard so far, you'll be amazing!

Man, 49, with a penis and make up complaining he can't go into a woman's gym. He won't fell safe in a male changing room. Clearly no shits for what the women think when he rocks up.

He can’t be worse than James O’Brien surely?

kettlepotblack · 30/05/2018 22:16

Good luck!

Especially with Nick Ferrari...Blush

MunchausensLovelyHorse · 30/05/2018 22:12

Best of luck, mate. Legend.

Exciting!

SwearyG · 30/05/2018 22:07

Oh God I hate that Prince Harry swimsuit. It gives me bad dreams.

On Nick Ferrari's LBC breakfast show tomorrow morning at 8:30. Do tune in.

Pratchet · 30/05/2018 21:11

Ah the mankini. Be still my beating heart ❤️

MipMipMip · 30/05/2018 20:55

Please, someone needs to identify as Prince Harry.

BettyBaggins · 30/05/2018 20:46

Lang, great find, I want the nude one with the furry belly, can someone crochet me some belly button fluff? Grin

"What is crucial is that all trans people can live their lives authentically"

As someone they are not. That is the Orwellian bit, or perhaps the Humpty Dumpty bit. Authentic now means the illusion of the thing and not the thing itself. Rather like empowerment, eh?

spontaneousgiventime · 30/05/2018 20:32

Also the very careful and considered decision on which mankini Pratchet Grin

Pratchet · 30/05/2018 20:30

Am so in love with MN feminists. Very serious subject yet always time for critical appraisal of a selection of crochet beards. StarGrin

LangCleg · 30/05/2018 20:29

LOL!

IAmDavidLewis · 30/05/2018 20:24

@LangCleg When it comes to the hairy chest, I believe the phrase is “model’s own”...

Ereshkigal · 30/05/2018 19:32

I would guess that the answer to Seven's question is yes.

boatyardblues · 30/05/2018 19:28

Based on that Stonewall tweet, they should be standing shoulder to shoulder with David Lewis and giving the Labour party serious stick for his suspension. Are they?

R0wantrees · 30/05/2018 19:25

Tweet by head of Stonewall's Trans Inclusion.

Jeans & a unisex t-shirt, Fekko, but not in pink or blue.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 30/05/2018 18:25

What about 'I'm not decided Monday'?

BiologyNotBigotry · 30/05/2018 18:22

I've decided to do both #manfriday & #womanwednesday. I was going to wear a dress & make up & make my hair look pretty today... As it turned out I've not even got out of PJs or brushed my hair. The baby I grew in my uterus decided to be going through a "needs feeding constantly" phase so that's all I've done all day. Not v feminine though - anyone can lactate & all that... I'll get some sparkly high heels & a bow for next week.

LangCleg · 30/05/2018 18:17

Could this be an option, David?!

Thanks everyone for your support! I learn a huge amount from these discussions.

David, I would love to see you arriving at the Ladies pond in your triangle bikini and flowery hat Grin although I’m not sure I could keep a straight face while demanding that the staff kick you out and the police be summoned.

BettyBaggins · 30/05/2018 17:44

@silvery I had to google eyelash yarn! Now I have option paralysis but I drawn to a ferret hiding beard I think. I wonder what else I could hide in it Grin You star!
