ROGD on Woman's Hour tomorrow

I too am very disappointed with Women's Hour. What a cop out. Women's Hour used to be a special place for ONE HOUR and it used to mean something. I've tuned out since the galling self ID pseudo-coverage. Hoping things will change.

I have absolutely ZERO faith in women’s hour or the BBC. It will be another farce with:

1. Prerecorded interview or statement from Stonewall and or Mermaids which will be inaccurate and will go uncontested.
2. Transwoman or Transwomen dominating the conversation and interrupting other contributors.
3. Actual women being the minority of invited speakers and treated with hostility.

The End.

Sceptical I think you have summed it up correctly.
I used to listen to R4 a lot. Now I barely put it on.
Nauticant I have just said something very similar on another thread.
Being a girl is not as much fun, puberty is hell.

My prediction is to hear that we're evolving into a more inclusive society and it's the most obvious thing in the world that all those young transmen are now coming out when previously they'd have had to endure the living hell of being forced to live as young women. (You wouldn't wish that on your worst enemy.)

There'll be a gender critical sort who'll operate in a curtailed discussion and struggle to explain why they're not a bigot. Analysis and science will not be at the forefront of this discussion.

There'll be the trans group stating that the stats are fake, there'll be the trans group stating that the drugs are safe and have no long term impact, the trans group talking about all the bigotry of women objecting to this, the Mermaid's parent self justifying and then maybe..... a woman might speak be talked over repeatedly. All in the interests of balance.

I hope to be proved wrong - but this is the BBC so don't hold out much hope.

Hmm. About fecking time. I wonder who will be presenting.

Jane Garvey seemed to disappear from lots of her regular slots after the GRA discussion. I wondered if maintaining the BBC bias was getting a bit much, but that might be massive projection.

Any indication who they will have as contributors?
