RM does not get challenged in the way Paula did. No wonder she sounded so nervous. Kudos for sticking her head above the parapet though.

TheBitterBoy · 05/03/2019 07:42

You could tell how nervous she was, very much trying to use polite language 'correct ' teminnology. But we'll done for saying testosterone isn't the whole story.

paula is too nice...

This interviewer is so biased! What happened to so called BBC neutrality?

AbsintheFriends · 05/03/2019 07:40

Such a polite, succinct take down of McK!

Destinysdaughter · 05/03/2019 07:39

“The facts she talks about are not facts” Haha

NanooCov · 05/03/2019 07:38

I hope she understands what she's letting herself in for. TRAs will be out in force.

very cautious way of speaking, poor thing

Destinysdaughter · 05/03/2019 07:38

Why the emphasis on testosterone? It’s about so much more than that?

Helmetbymidnight · 05/03/2019 07:38

is reduced testosterone satisfactory?

yeah Hmm

Framing it as Martina apologising for saying it’s cheating without mentioning the rest.

McKinnon’s segment from November on. “No one is born a man. It would be hard to give birth to a man”

“I’ve never met anyone who was born a man” WTF??

Helmetbymidnight · 05/03/2019 07:36

the 'born man' business.

Helmetbymidnight · 05/03/2019 07:35

MilletSentToForceIt · 05/03/2019 07:33

I was just about to get ready for a run, but listening now!

TheBitterBoy · 05/03/2019 07:30

Hopefully Nick Robinson will interview her, he was very good interviewing Paris Lees last year.
