Not posted much on this but been following the debate. Just heard interview with the Guide Leader at the centre of the GG issues (Helen I think) and announcement that they will be debating the whole trans issue after 9am with Nicky Campbell.

Helen Webberly is "top of the expert mountain" on this issue according to presenter. After the mess she made of basic definitions!

vaginafetishist · 24/09/2018 09:21

Yes what do these terms mean?

SwearyG · 24/09/2018 09:21

Yay! Helen Webberley is going to be the expert who explains this nonsense. Where is the feminist voice?

BadasIwannaB · 24/09/2018 09:21

Why is Campbell putting on a weird "I'm signalling unreasonable-ness here" voice to articulate the argument that 'Alexa' used to be a man?? It's like "don't worry I got the memo - people who think are complete maniacs"

I still have no idea what the difference between pan-sexual and bi-sexual after there's explanations!

vaginafetishist · 24/09/2018 09:20

Yes I liked the feminist impersonation

JoanSummers · 24/09/2018 09:20

I don't think there is a Veronica, that was a mistake by the presenter. 'Alexa' is speaking now. They say they have been a woman all their life. Now presenter saying 'you hear feminists all the time saying how do you know what it's like to be a woman, you used to have a penis yadda yadda, but you say you've always been a woman' (paraphrasing there)

heresyandwitchcraft · 24/09/2018 09:20

Why the fuck can't they bring on an actual woman with some actual feminist points.
The disdain for the female sex is real.

Cuntysnark · 24/09/2018 09:20

I cannot believe what I am hearing...

vaginafetishist · 24/09/2018 09:20

I cant listen to this shit in the morning.

heresyandwitchcraft · 24/09/2018 09:19

Utter bollocks!
"You have always been a woman"
BOLLOCKS.

OldCrone · 24/09/2018 09:19

Alexa has 'always been a woman', apparently.

DryHeave · 24/09/2018 09:19

Wow, Nicky’s impersonation of a feminist. How telling.

PetraDelphiki · 24/09/2018 09:19

Isn’t it just!!!

JoanSummers · 24/09/2018 09:17

The radio is incredible for revealing the male voices behind the laydee names.

heresyandwitchcraft · 24/09/2018 09:17

I am being labelled against my will! I am being forced to pretend with an ideology that I find nonsensical and stupid.

Badstyley · 24/09/2018 09:16

Sorry for duplicating posts. My Internet is having a hissy fit. It probably object to streaming such nonsense.

MuseumofInnocence · 24/09/2018 09:16

Alexa speaks over Veronica!

heresyandwitchcraft · 24/09/2018 09:16

Who are Alexa and Veronica?

heresyandwitchcraft · 24/09/2018 09:16

How do these people think we will produce the next generation of people or talk about normal bodily functions.
The contradiction on labels is huge.

JoanSummers · 24/09/2018 09:15

I don't think she believes a single woRd she is saying. She knows it is nonsense, that's why she is making such a mess of trying to describe it.

BeUpStanding · 24/09/2018 09:15

My god this woman is a blathering idiot! She's just spewing pomo word salad over the airwaves Hmm

Badstyley · 24/09/2018 09:15

Oh dear, my Wi-Fi has cut out. Thank God for that.

OldCrone · 24/09/2018 09:14

OK, so she knows how babies are made, but thinks that we don't need labels. We don't need the labels either, Helen, but why transgender and not just gender non conformity?

Scrapper142 · 24/09/2018 09:14

Ahhhhh. Screaming already. What's with all the boys and girls? Avoiding using 'women'
