Just heard richard madeley talking to dawn butler i think on this morning, specifically asking about biological differences. He even said penis. Its about time this topic was given some daylight, the general public need some true understanding of what is being proposed.

Agree @SnuggyBuggy . Especially when people refuse to even acknowledge the fact these Male bodied people are Male. All this "starting from the position that TWAW" and then talking like we are discussing the banning of ginger women from rape centers. It's deliberately confusing.

Do you not feel its deliberate that there is a load of confusing language and wooly concepts? It's pretty convenient that much of the general public struggles to understand and follow this

But welcome and needed obviously.

I've spoken with people who were saying "but what if they are nine-tenths female?" and others who say trans women meaning woman who has transitioned to a man.

The levels of ignorance about the basics of this issue are so high that most general discussion is pointless.

Or else I've spoken to people who seem to think a bit of oestrogen treatment "deactivates" it.

Hopefully GMB will get a balanced set of opinions with the GC position clearly explained? There are enough good speakers out there at the moment.

True snuggy. I think on a thread on here yesterday some posters were assuming that a GRC=no penis.

I saw the interview, it was on GMB.
Richard Madeley on today instead of Piers. Apparently the subject will be discussed tomorrow.

The BBC are noticeably articulating the gender critical position far more in articles. I assume they understand a backlash is coming and are protecting themselvees.

I think a lot of members of the public simple don't realise the anatomy of many transwomen.
