I only heard the end but I think Susie parroting trans girls are girls will have raised a few eyebrows. Did anyone mention the possibility of self id men as Guide leaders? From a safe guarding point of view I find that much more concerning than a handful of confused teen boys which doesn't mean I would be happy about them sharing facilities either.

OK, which one of you is Piers?

I hope the public didn't buy that harmless child line...there may be mothers happy for their daughters to share a tent with someone male bodied but I expect many fathers wouldn't be.

Well that covered all the bases ! And excellent responses from Caroline. Another clear and articulate women Flowers

ILuvBirdsEye · 25/09/2018 08:09

I was fully prepared to throw my tea at the TV but they both got it!

BiologyMatters · 25/09/2018 08:09

All Susie really had to say was "trans girls are girls". Dfod.

ILuvBirdsEye · 25/09/2018 08:08

PM!!! Briliant! Thank you!!

ILuvBirdsEye · 25/09/2018 08:07

So bloody disingenuous!! SG!! No f'ing clue as to why people and children are sex segregated.... apparently.

Under the equality act they are treated as girls!

JoggerBottom · 25/09/2018 08:07

Thank you Piers Flowers

GulagMilkMonitor · 25/09/2018 08:07

This is probably the best TV coverage of this. Now onto Pips. I am gobsmacked.

MindTheMinotaur · 25/09/2018 08:07

BBC reporting from 2015 on sexual assaults in schools 5.500 reports in 3 years, a fifth carried out by children -children as young as 5 were victim and perpetrator- it's not up to date but no time to dig right now, www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-34138287

Kyanite · 25/09/2018 08:06

She threw in David Challenor as Scout Leader...well done.

GulagMilkMonitor · 25/09/2018 08:04

Caroline is terrific! Informed consent. She is very knowledgeable about GG policy and is talking about her daughter (with her permission) wetting the bed and the following personal care. Safeguarding and Davis Challenor! Goodness me she is going incredibly well.

GulagMilkMonitor · 25/09/2018 08:03

Are parents entitled to know if a trans child is in the Guides group your child attends? “We should be able to have an open and honest debate here” Piers “kids of that age on school trips are segregated” susie “trans girls are girls” Piers “they are girls in boys bodies.” Then goes on to talk about self ID and Karen White.

oooompa · 25/09/2018 08:02

Trans girls are girls....except girls don't have a penis Hmm this makes me so fucking mad!

ILuvBirdsEye · 25/09/2018 08:01

Trans girls are girls... says SG. Its PM who points out they have male bodies

ILuvBirdsEye · 25/09/2018 07:59

This is about children.... says SG. Yes, and children can rape too. Or have underage sex.

GulagMilkMonitor · 25/09/2018 07:59

Few typos because BFing squirmy newborn whilst trying to her 4yo to eat breakfast. Treat about should be *threat.

GulagMilkMonitor · 25/09/2018 07:57

Susie tried to compare it to gay rights and Piers said what about self ID and rapists in female prisons. Susie Green tried to close it down and asked to move on because “this is about children”. They have gone to a break but coming back for more. Sorry about formatting! Lots of us having issues with MN not letting us use the return button. Hmm Confused

ILuvBirdsEye · 25/09/2018 07:57

On being challenged as to why other parents shouldn't be told... Susie Green immediately goes back to 20 years ago... if a child was gay ..! She ha NO answer rooted in TODAY!

scepticalwoman · 25/09/2018 07:56

Someone needs to tweet Piers the statistics on rape in schools

IAmLurkacus · 25/09/2018 07:56

Go Piers!

BiologyMatters · 25/09/2018 07:55

Just switched on - lovely to see piers giving susie a hard time.

GulagMilkMonitor · 25/09/2018 07:55

Caroline doing terrifically. Talking about chemical castrations of children, about sex segregation, excluding religious minorities and also girls who have been abused. Susannah saying parents should be made aware “children under 16 have a right to know things that might impact them” susie green “you are picking on them...you are othering them”. Piers “you can’t say they aren’t different”
