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.

He keeps saying "I don't know". I think we should just assume he's clueless by his own admission.

I don't want my women's services reduced so that a MTF can have an invitation to a 'smear test' so his feelings aren't hurt......

Keep looking matey.

“We’re all looking for a skeleton key to unlock every aspect of this debate” according to James.

HarrietThePi · 20/12/2019 11:19

That's the number to send text messages to the show. Some are read out but not all. I think he reads them though

Qcng · 20/12/2019 11:16

84850 - is this a number to leave a review? Or your opinion?
Does he read them out?

Did someone actually ask him whether he thought his daughters would grow up to be men. Using men's toilets, being in men's spaces?

BovaryX · 20/12/2019 11:15

I think this thread should be printed as an illustrated booklet.....Grin

"A woman that was born a man" ...WTAF?

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 20/12/2019 11:14

Its not difficult James, men have made it difficult and complicated for their own benefit

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 20/12/2019 11:14

"the whole debate is about difference"

no it's not.

It's about dead women, threatened women nd females rights to single sex spaces

He's totally clueless. Reminds me a bit of the triggernometry lads - they think they get it, but, they really fucking don't.

"Do you see how difficult this is?"

Nah, mate.

Jillyhilly · 20/12/2019 11:14

all it will take is a transwoman to call and start telling him a sob story and he’ll totally lose the plot so true!!!!

When Posie said she didn't want men in her changing room he got right on the defensive - what do you think we're going to do to yewww?!

As soon as the transwoman and said they didn't want to be in amongst the men, it was a soothing husky voice, no of course you don't, I quite understand, there, there.

O'Brien talking is an absolute masterclass in misogyny.

It's horribly transparent.

Jillyhilly · 20/12/2019 11:13

I have never heard so many words say absolutely nothing.

ArnoldWhatshisknickers · 20/12/2019 11:13

Poor old James is very threatened by men who are repulsed by their own penises.

It's OK James. The fact that a miniscule minority of men (including very few of those who 'identify' as 'transwomen) hate their cocks doesn't mean yours is about to fall off.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 20/12/2019 11:13

He's dreadful.

I'm not sure why this is good radio.

Jillyhilly · 20/12/2019 11:12

Now there is a long, rambling, nonsensical attempt to sound a bit less like an insane misogynist.

HarrietThePi · 20/12/2019 11:12

I stopped listening to his show after years of listening because I couldn't stand his patronising tone when speaking to leave voters (and I voted remain). I catch him occasionally now but this is the first time I've really paid attention in a while. I do not miss these monologues. Does he do them because he has no callers?

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 20/12/2019 11:12

"they will never be able to (transition) completely"

Uh oh.

So, they are not actual women.

"but, I don't think I want them to (feel that way)" with a head tilt.

It's a "boxing match" because 2 women die a week at the hands of violent men, some of whom will pretend to be trans to access single sex spaces, you muppet.

Kit19 · 20/12/2019 11:11

As an infertile woman it gives me the RAGE even my pain is invoked my TW as a “ahaha gotcha”

I’m not a bloody man becatse I’m infertile you absolute dickwads!!!! I’m still a biological woman ffs

koshkat · 20/12/2019 11:11

Suicide rates...

koshkat · 20/12/2019 11:10

I have texted and emailed. Nothing.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 20/12/2019 11:10

What tangent is he going on now....gay people? I thought it was a different argument and issue....when's he going to lump trans in with the plight of black people?!

SkunkButtRug · 20/12/2019 11:10

Trapped in the wrong body...omg
