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.

Not listening, but the false stats I presume?

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 20/12/2019 10:50

Eventually we wouldn't object if a trans woman was in a single sex space, if enough surgery and hormones had been done?

Oh dear.

No, mate. Would still object, cos they are not female and there is never "enough" surgery and hormones to change sex.

You mean we'd accept them if they passed. Also no.

I thought JoB was quite reasonable when he spoke to that man who kept prattling on. Ollie, was it?

I'm surprised.

But that cis nonsense is really annoying.

EvenSupposing · 20/12/2019 10:48

And onto suicide.

Qcng · 20/12/2019 10:48

So one Tweet from a women, and all male voices, talking about women. Sounds about right.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 20/12/2019 10:47

Grateful for Ollie's insights.

and is uuhmming and aaaahhhmmming.

Insightful

MrsSnippyPants · 20/12/2019 10:47

I am struggling to believe my ears; JO'B making a tiny amount of sense here!

koshkat · 20/12/2019 10:45

He did read it all yes. He agrees with her too.

Qcng · 20/12/2019 10:45

I'll be very upset is a GC woman is not allowed to speak. They would have had loads call in.
Maybe.... Because it's about the JK Tweet, that's enough GC voices?
Did JoB read out the whole Tweet?

koshkat · 20/12/2019 10:44

Bloody hell! This is a real shift from JOB.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 20/12/2019 10:44

there is no such thing as a biological woman...eugh....transwomen are destroying their own movement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jillyhilly · 20/12/2019 10:44

Ollie is full of crap.

But he’s taken the time out of his busy man-schedule to generously call in and lecture us all about what women are, surely that counts for something?

BiarritzCrackers · 20/12/2019 10:44

Why isn't 'cis' offensive, if 'biological' is - there is no logic, as both are 'othering'. If we all fully and willingly embraced 'cis', I bet it would be co-opted and taken away from us too.

koshkat · 20/12/2019 10:44

And of course let some female callers on...

koshkat · 20/12/2019 10:43

JOB not doing a bad job to be fair to him. I wish he would reject the cis/trans bullshit though.

EvenSupposing · 20/12/2019 10:43

'I'm a male and I have asked two other males. And no females. They were all in the kitchen.'

FrankUnderwoodsWife · 20/12/2019 10:42

“Womanhood” jeez

EvenSupposing · 20/12/2019 10:42

'So far we have asked males'

koshkat · 20/12/2019 10:42

Ollie is full of crap. Grin

koshkat · 20/12/2019 10:41

Oh dear me.

FrankUnderwoodsWife · 20/12/2019 10:41

@jillyhilly me too. JOB hates it when people disagree with him....

Jillyhilly · 20/12/2019 10:40

I’m so enjoying this thread.

vivariumvivariumsvivaria · 20/12/2019 10:40

He said "genuine transwomen" there.

That's a hate incident, isn't it? If someone says they are trans they are trans. Umbrella is as umbrella does.

Jillyhilly · 20/12/2019 10:40

Yup. You can smell the soy from here.

Jillyhilly · 20/12/2019 10:40

Another “cis man”.
