As in the title, JO'B will be discussing JK Rowling's comments on Maya and the Trans Activist response on his programme this morning. Sorry I missed Nick Ferrari & the Divine Sharon earlier but I will be listening to JO'B at 10.

To be fair to O'Brien "What does a GC extremist look like?" is a good question.

Still only one woman caller on this two hour segment...

koshkat · 20/12/2019 11:39

Oh hang on - he is getting better.

koshkat · 20/12/2019 11:38

Oh this caller is a peach!

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 20/12/2019 11:37

I can't listen to him any more.

Am going off to do something useful and taking my ovaries with me.

BoreOfWhabylon · 20/12/2019 11:37

I can't bear to listen to the twat but this thread is terrific! Xmas Grin

Jillyhilly · 20/12/2019 11:37

Who the hell is “complimenting the quality of the show today”?

Jillyhilly · 20/12/2019 11:36

Georgina was wonderful. God speed to her.

I notice that the answer “different genitals” was acceptable coming from a transwoman, but not from an actual woman.

koshkat · 20/12/2019 11:34

Great call. Sense at last.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 20/12/2019 11:33

"I am silenced by these transactivists. They are taking over and I hate that. I can't educate people about what being trans really is"

To you, your voice is important, this is a non-binary argument"

(Thanks, Georgina. Hope you find your way to MN)

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 20/12/2019 11:32

eugh hes putting on that sickening tone again "i want to say things to you but i cant"--- err why not, you shouted down the actual woman

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 20/12/2019 11:32

"It's a very toxic community"
"not about LGBT, it's more of a political group now"

"Yes, well, sweeping statement...but, yes, this is just not binary"

"transactivists make me look bad. I've never ever experienced trans phobia because I respect everyone around me, I live my life, I respect the way society is, and people treat me as normal"

"you've been lucky"

"what's the difference between you and someone born a woman"

"genitalia, no menopausal system, grieved the childhood I didn't get, I'll never give birth"

"You will never be a complete woman"

"Thank you for the compliment"

Jillyhilly · 20/12/2019 11:29

Talking so much sense (not James oB, obviously).

HarrietThePi · 20/12/2019 11:29

In relation to this show I mean* posted too soon Blush

HarrietThePi · 20/12/2019 11:29

I read Ben Elton's Identity Crisis recently and can't stop thinking about it

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 20/12/2019 11:28

Interesting, a transwoman says they were born male
"biologically male?"
"yes, I will always be male. My dysphoria causes distress, I transition and live the life as accurately I can"
"this is about feelings rather than biology"
(warbles on about wrapping paper)

TW JUST SAID THER ARE DIFF TYPES OF TW!

Jillyhilly · 20/12/2019 11:27

It’s a brilliant thread, making me laugh through the car crash.

I like this trans woman.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 20/12/2019 11:27

HOLD ON!!!! apparently you can be biologically male but you cant be biologically female???? Whys he not shouting down this trans-girl (as she called herself)

HarrietThePi · 20/12/2019 11:26

Jilly*

HarrietThePi · 20/12/2019 11:26

Hahah Jolly.

I'm really glad to have you all here to listen through this show with. It's like a support group.

ArnoldWhatshisknickers · 20/12/2019 11:25

A masterclass in how to pretend something simple is complicated.

It's not difficult at all James.

There are two sexes. That's all. The large, immobile gamete producers and the small, mobile gamete producers.

You, and every other small, mobile gamete producer are not, never have been and never can be women.

You and every other small, mobile gamete producer belong in the men's facilities.

Stop trying to kick a subsection of your fellow small, mobile gamete producers out just because they make you uncomfortable.

Jillyhilly · 20/12/2019 11:25

Oh here we go. Another transwoman. Now James can have another little flirt.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 20/12/2019 11:24

I've messaged to say "he can play semantics over the word biological all we wants but women's rights arent for debating"

just messaged to ask why JOB doesn't ask the next MTF how they knew they were a woman trapped in a woman body?
