1215 BBC2 #politicslive Brexit, health rationing and the 1st of 2 films on trans rights. Tomorrow we hear from young trans women about why they want change and today @ElizabethGlinka meets feminist activists from @WomansPlaceUK concerned about the effect on women’s rights.

I am so angry watching this. Ben Cohen lying outright and smirking at it all. It’s only a small percentage of women who would be at risk so we should just let it happen?? Isn’t one woman one woman too many? Fuck them! And fuck the BBC for holding this shit show!

Politician filling airtime by saying precisely nothing.

BC says 'there are far more trans people than Jewish people'

Really?

"You're blowing it out of proportion."

Thanks mate. Tosser.

AbsintheFriends · 18/10/2018 12:57

She is holding her own when 2 men keep trying to talk over her. So infuriating. 'You're blowing it out of proportion' says one bloke. Talking about assault.

LorettasBox · 18/10/2018 12:56

Oh ha de fucking ha. Transmen brought up, as usual as a gotcha after thoughts.

Oh, and men talking over a woman.

Zeugma · 18/10/2018 12:56

BC now trying to talk loudly over the top of the excellent woman in green and drown her out (sorry, didn't see the start - she's great - who is she?)

AbsintheFriends · 18/10/2018 12:55

There is one woman panellist who is brilliant. Don't know who she is, but she is just excellent. Prisons, sport, trolling... go her.

Who's the dark haired lady in the green dress, she's awesome.

AbsintheFriends · 18/10/2018 12:54

I'm watching

The film was OK but didn't really set out the basic fact that ANY MAN can say they're a woman without changing ANYTHING about their body or their lives.

Studio discussion is ridiculous, but the presenter is handling it well so far.

Zeugma · 18/10/2018 12:53

Benjamin Cohen of Pink News completely confusing sex and gender. What a surprise. Presenter Jo Coburn trying to pin him down but it's like trying to nail jelly to the wall

LorettasBox · 18/10/2018 12:53

Ooo, Benjamin really wanted to be a bit more unpleasant about 'the people with a problem with this', didn't he?

Zeugma · 18/10/2018 12:49

Helen Watts on now. Go Helen.

Placemarking shamelessly

LorettasBox · 18/10/2018 12:45

Here we go.

RubyViolet · 18/10/2018 12:16

Thanks, watching.
