As I have mixed ‘gender’ toilets at home, I’ve no need to worry about public loos. Cheers, I feel reassured.

Also, prisons are not included in the GRA reform (so said the women panelists). So why then are natal men currently in women’s prisons? If we currently have carve outs for single sex provision - how and why are male prisoners being granted access to women’s prisons? What part of which Act is being used?

Would their (the panelist’s) reform of the GRA have a knock on effect on other legislation? The unintended consequences effect or absolutely intended (but glossed over) effect?

I’ve never yet seen / heard what parts of the current GRA / EA’10 trans people have not got access to or covered by.
Or is the single, pivot point lack of self-id making the current single sex spaces / sports etc... exclusionary by their definition?

That self-id is the gateway to other (currently prohibited) parts of legislation?

Funnily enough we tried to train our dogs with an actual dog whistle. Never bloody worked.

Yes, that's how I see it too! Everything is a fucking dog whistle.

Why don’t they ever ask what a man is...? I wonder if they would get the that rabbit in a headlight look.

Do any of them go home, have a long look in the mirror, then a long bath, scrub their body, then quit the party?

Fuck me, if asking what is a woman is a dog whistle, then I can only conclude that calling something a dog whistle is a dog whistle

🙄🙄

No sure I have enough eye to roll

Yes I had spotted this too on broadcast.
The presenter didn't even attempt to elicit a reply to the question from anyone. He just let the panel answer a different one.
The allegation was made by one that the question was in bad faith and that it was a "dog whistle" and that was waved along without demur.

I think something to do with getting your dog to come back when it is off chasing real rabbits and not the wind up toy from the pet shop? @Outbutnotoutout Hmm

How can asking "what is a woman" be transphobic?

FannyCann · 01/05/2021 10:09

The question is asked at 33:40
How typical that one of the replies was to immediately denounce the question as transphobic.
