God. Academia is fucked. That person’s PhD is basically in themselves. Why everyone should be nicer to them and stop being so mean and denying material reality.

What on earth is going on?

I presume that we will be lifting the ban on doping with testosterone then? Seeing as it has zero impact on performance and all.

Jesus wept. Is Beth a trans woman herself?

Timelady...or at the senior management meeting after..

I felt the WH series warrented some complementary feedback. Well chosen speakers, and some clear and informed interviewing. Feedback links are on the BBCs website.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the WH production team meetings after all these 'debates'.

Anyway, good luck, Nic. (and thanks, MNHQ)

On today (Tuesday)

Hopefully this will be the topic that will make WH listeners really sit up and take notice. The inherent unfairness is blatantly obvious to the vast majority.
