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 saying that people are worried about upsetting people who are gender non conforming. Unless they're feminists, of course.

I will never ever call someone with a shaved head and a beard SHE.

Dr Webberley 'we want people to learn'

I actually think this whole discussion will just confuse more people and potentially get people to ask MORE questions.

R0wantrees · 24/09/2018 09:44

O my word!

I'm out too - I've turned it off. Can't be doing with this any more. Sorry. It's a joke.

Lol a woman has just come on to say she went camping once with a trans women who hasn't transitioned yet but wore women's clothes for a while and 'harangued' her into saying the right pronouns etc.

Apparently 'she' looks male with a shaved head and beard but this woman speaking (Claydon? ) 'did her best' and wouldn't it be nice if everyone just knew someone who was trans so they could 'get it' too?

R0wantrees · 24/09/2018 09:44

Dr Webberely 'do what they want'

BeUpStanding · 24/09/2018 09:44

WHAT!!!! SHE HAD A BEARD???!!!

OldCrone · 24/09/2018 09:44

Claudia talking about a transwoman with a shaved head and a beard, who is really a woman, who they all had to call 'she'.

heresyandwitchcraft · 24/09/2018 09:43

It is exactly that they think they are a different gender.
That's the whole definition.
She had shaved head and a beard.
Didn't dress differently from other male born people.
LMFAO.

Love the story on holiday, the transgender friend with a beard and a shaven heard - "we made a few mistakes sometimes calling her "him"".

Shaved head and a beardGrin

People, just be nice and all the problems will go away. Meet the lovely folks and they're so stunning and brave!

Nothing to see here.

Christ.

I'm going to have to give up and turn it off. Thanks to all of you for your stamina and fortitude in carrying on listening.

BeUpStanding · 24/09/2018 09:42

R0wantrees So she isn't a registered doctor?! Shock, and yet also it's not at all surprising Hmm

heresyandwitchcraft · 24/09/2018 09:42

Jesus fucking Christ. Why is nothing about the actual issues?

oneWeirdReSister · 24/09/2018 09:42

The only mistake you're making Craig is being so liberal you've popped your brain out into your hands and are asking an idiot to season it with nonsense.

Now, if only Sophie Walker were not so determined not to make anyone feel as if they needed to take a stance on one side or the other of this issue, this might have been a real opportunity for her and WEP to show some leadership...

JoanSummers · 24/09/2018 09:41

'Stephen' sounds like a woman?

Beamur · 24/09/2018 09:38

What a waste of airtime. Nicky Campbell has just lost any respect I might have had for him - nice work with the nasty 'impression'
Tosh. Biased and incoherent. Dr Webberley can barely string a sentence together.
Not exactly surprising though is it?

JoanSummers · 24/09/2018 09:38

During this sports catchup news bit I'm noticing that Helen Webberley is the only female voice I've heard since I turned Five Live on this morning, at just past nine.
