To clarify - 6.53 is the broadcast time, not minutes into the recording.

PaleBlueMoonlight · 24/06/2020 07:33

I am not sure I can bear to listen. Is anyone willing to summarise?

"fallen in with the wrong crowd" - a term normally used for teenagers - to support Fox's delusions of superiority over a 50 year old woman with a huge amount of life experience and intelligence. Trying to make out that she has no agency and no basis for her opinions. Nauseating.

Would Fox ever use this term about a 50 year old man, I wonder?

Starts at 6.53 on the BBC Sounds recording. JKR “fallen in with the wrong crowd”? 🙄

NotAssigned · 24/06/2020 07:24

Yes angryresister. In a truly equal world JKR would give some of her sales to Fox to make it fair. But she won't. Bigot.

Also apparently she has "fallen in with the wrong crowd".

Angryresister · 24/06/2020 07:20

The most ludicrous statement was that they don’t get the same sales as JKR. Is that a surprise?

Xanthangum · 24/06/2020 07:16

I'm increasingly aware that when backed into a corner during media interviews the escape route for defending the indefensible is "it's complicated", the implication being that interviewer and listeners/viewers can't possibly know what it is to be trans/ understand the equality act/ have studied intersex conditions, whatever it is.

It's not complicated.

Angryresister · 24/06/2020 07:10

This ridiculous statement was not challenged at all by the interviewer on what is usually a fairly robust programme . What about the supposed fairness of the BBC, so proudly paraded in woman’s hour. Why we had to listen to this Fox person justifying their offer to reeducate JKR and the agency is beyond me.

Cuntysnark · 24/06/2020 07:03

I don’t think I can bring myself to listen. However I’m sure the BBC will have the second part on with the counter view. Did they say when it’s on? I’ll gladly listen to fox when the second interview is aired.

Thanosatemthamster · 24/06/2020 07:03

Which one is fox? Why didn't they say TMAM, given Rowling was taking about an issue that affects transmen, not women?

StealthPolarBear · 24/06/2020 07:00

Ahh.

bluechameleon · 24/06/2020 07:00

Poor JKR has fallen in with the wrong crowd

Hazelnutlatteplease · 24/06/2020 06:59

The BBC sounds app has everything on for anyone that wants to catch up

niceberg · 24/06/2020 06:59

I just caught the last minute. Impossible to argue with a brick wall who actually has no arguments other than be kind, TWAW.

Missed most of it. It finished with Fox Fisher saying that JK needs to recognise that TWAW.

Ooh possible thunder where we are

YippeeKayakOtherBuckets · 24/06/2020 06:58

Ah just missed it. Heard the tail end of ‘fox’ saying twaw.

StealthPolarBear · 24/06/2020 06:58

It's on. The weather.
