For Those who Access podcasts, this week there is a debate between IW and Madeleine Kearns on the Spectator Podcast. It's a joy to listen to IMO as IW just runs around sounding more and more unhinged while MK just makes her point very clearly. Please listen, it's only ten Minutes or so

IW does ram homethe "mememe - you don't understand me" point quite a bit. I loved the Child Welfare shout too. The whole "this is gay or civil rights redux" argument is quite frustrating.

It sounds interesting, is there a link?

Madeleine was great - I loved the "child welfare" shout 😁 Willoughby just meanders through a load of memememememememememe and doesn't listen. Whiny voice as well. Really grates 😖

I listened to it. I thought Madeline Kearnes was absolutely brilliant and made great points. India usually starts well but every single time without fail that I have heard India speak, it descends into classic male behaviour of loudly talking over whichever woman is there at the time.

I had to laugh when India pointed out that we never discuss predatory behaviour from female to male trans. That'll be because male pattern violence is something that men do, India...

Glad to hear Mumsnet get a mention though! India just couldn't help spreading the good word on our behalf, so with any luck some more GC people will be lurking right about now as a result. You can't beat a bit of free advertising.

oh god, IW is such a cock.

That was annoying. IW doing the usual talking over and shouting down, and just cannot resist telling great big whoppers about biology. Yes, they sound unhinged and bullying, and they are pretty much given free reign. Bloody awful person.
