I didn't see a thread on this yesterday! Discussion on Ian Collins' show regarding the BMA.

Good to hear Beverley Jackson from LGB Alliance challenging Butterworth's use of suicide statistics.

I wish someone would pick up on the “living as a woman” point.

Ask what it means, because the only response is a list of crude stereotypes.

He's employed by a paper which started to promote independent thought?! How embarrassing for them.

Wrong body - always hacks me off. So someone born blind or with a physical disability was born in the wrong body too? Does he believe in souls then?

The host should have picked up on the wrong body point, he should have asked BB exactly what he meant.

When BB did that very dramatic 'I find that bigotry' I was willing Bev to do a 'That's Nice Dear'

So Benjamin just admitted that he wouldnt date a transman because they aren't masculine? But if transmen are men surely that means they are masculine.

I wish Bev had called him out on the fact that that opinion (but in the opposite) is what she was talking about when she said lesbians had been called transphobic in dating sites.

Even BB admits sex matters when it comes to sexual relationships.

That pantomime gasp as Bev said she didn't believe people could be born in the wrong body....

SerenityNowwwww · 18/09/2020 07:49

Why is this person - who, lets not forget took a place reserved for a black attendee at at conference on the basis that although white, his step mum is black - allowed the oxygen of publicity?

It then I suppose it shines a light...

Bev was excellent, far more gravitas. Button has no idea how badly he comes across. DD is 9 and watched the GMB debate, without any prompting, or idea of the issues, she straightaway asked who he was and said she didn't like him.

Doesn't he also identify as black?

zanahoria · 18/09/2020 07:46

They may be short of people willing to argue this, many are no debaters.

JaneAustenWouldHateThis · 18/09/2020 07:42

Why is it always gay blokes going on about this and not an actual trans person? (Little OJ, Doc Hadoc and now this Ben button chap)

They wouldn't get a white dude on to talk about BLM, would they?

What's the deal here?

There are certain commentators that media shows love, not because they have anything sensible to say but merely because they provide entertainment, BB definitely in this category. Piers Morgan loves having BB on his show as it cranks up controversy and the the clown is a good punch bag.

BB is too dim to realise this and keeps showing up.

He is a smarmy wee scrud

SunsetBeetch · 18/09/2020 07:14

Fabulous. Bev was excellent.

BB is an absolute muppet.
