Just announced she'll be interviewed by Naga Mumchetty after 10 am. Not sure when, as they'll be giving a lot of coverage to the Afghanistan situation.

Can't see another thread, sorry if I missed one.

I'm just fed up of every debate/discussion about this issue it's always the GC women having to defend every detail of why they won't accept transwomen in their spaces.

It's never the other way round, lots of tip toeing so not to offend, no awkward intense questioning like women have to put up with. I find that incredibly frustrating.

Just listened, Maya was fabulous! So clear and calm. The texts that are getting read out though, were they listening to a different show?! Completely disingenuous and misrepresentation of what Maya said. No surprises there.

I imagined that would be the case.

..also, 'maybe there are five genders; Men, Women, Transmen, Transwomen and Intersex,' and 'Biology is not destiny: Look at Afghanistan...'

I thought she was excellent.

Jaysmith71 · 16/08/2021 10:42

The gist of yertexts so far is, 'How dare this woman say transwomen are a threat. She needs to get over herself...'

Maya was excellent.
Naga says they've had lots of texts and they will have someone to put the opposing view. "We'll continue the converstaion after 12 o'clock"

Naga said that the conversation will continue after 12....

Jaysmith71 · 16/08/2021 10:35

Back after 12 with "the other side."

I bet the BBC are going to get called "transphobic" just for allowing this. Get ready for them putting out something deeply misogynistic for "balance"

littlbrowndog · 16/08/2021 10:22

Maya so sensible

Talking about reality

Naga seems a bit obsessed with genitals. More important impacts of the case to discuss here

Maya is excellent, getting the point across well.

Jaysmith71 · 16/08/2021 10:13

Well done Naga's producer.

Naga sounds like she's reading it all off a screen.
