Did anyone hear the segment on non-binary passports on R4 PM just now? Evan Davis introduced the segment: "Christie Elan-Cane brought the case blah blah... I spoke to her earlier - " and then he realised what he'd said and literally stopped and spluttered for ages. Must try to clip it and share - it was so hilarious that DD came into the kitchen to find out what I was laughing at!

I don't know how you can laugh at this disgusting transphobia from Evan.
He must, somewhere in his brain, erroneously think this non-binary person is in some way FEMALE.

Do better Evan - it's not acceptable.

Are they taking the piss

Yup,it's a power play like so much of the genderists' nonsense.

Oh Evan. Oh Evan Evan Evan. Sackcloth and ashes for thee.

Purr
Really ? Actually I could do with a good laugh. I'll see if I can find it

Yes it’s good that it was ED and not say John Humphreys (I know he’s retired now) so people can’t say he’s a dinosaur etc.

"Purr"??...PURR?!!!! I can't...speak.. laughing too hard...

I happened to hear the beginning and as soon as the words 'assigned at birth' were uttered in the intro, I turned off Hmm

OMG! That is LITERAL violence. Oh no, he’ll get away with it because men are allowed to struggle with this. It’s only women, preferably those in court, who get no slack.

Per? FFS, I'd have taken great pleasure is 'mis-gendering' a pretentious twat like that.

ED is Woke Central. Couldn't have happened to a 'be nicer' man.

It reminded me of dealing with a tired toddler, where you end up agreeing an apple is a banana, because otherwise they're going to throw themselves on the floor and scream.

I was laughing, too. I can't count the number of times I said "Oh for fuck's sake" during that piece.

And then after they had played the convo he abjectly apologised, said how difficult it was to get right and explained that Christie E-C prefers to be referred to as "purr", at which point I laughed so hard DD came in AGAIN! (I think it may be spelt 'per' but 'purr' is cuter.
