Also, the stonewall statement had the reek of desperate PR. 'Industry leading' '900 companies' etc etc. I can imagine a blue-haired Basil Fawlty running around in the background shouting DON'T MENTION THE WAR

When she spoke about women being silenced all over the country due to. Lobbying to organisations

Silenced

I don't understand why this interview isn't mentioned/publicised in the content details for today's WH on BBC Sounds.
Perhaps (giving BBC the benefit of the doubt) it was a last-minute arrangement?

littlbrowndog · 03/11/2021 10:43

Thanks Kathleen. Very clear about why

StevieNicksscarf · 03/11/2021 10:43

@Steppemum - yes all part of the impartiality of the BBC

@TedImgoingmad

Weirdly, it makes me even angrier to think about how long they ignored it though.

By shutting down Jenni Murray, the BBC set the tone in discussing trans issues for years, and handed a massive victory to TRAs. As the nation's public broadcaster, they were instrumental in helping create the vicious climate against free speech we are in. They have been caught out now and publicly shamed by the Nolan Report. This is them attempting atonement, but it's too late, the damage is done. The BBC learned absolutely nothing from Savile.

Yes, absolutely. Neatly put Ted

Mummyoflittledragon · 03/11/2021 10:42

Quite a few pro trans #bekind messages read out at the end. Do don’t seem balanced.

Was anyone’s message read out?

Agree with this, the BBC have been an absolute disgrace.

@StevieNicksscarf

FFS these bloody comments that she's reading out.

yes. I'd love to know what percentage of the comments were pro and anti, and how that fits witht he percentage she read out!

WinterTrees · 03/11/2021 10:41

The statement by stonewall is beyond outrageous - a string of robotic parroted mantras that have no relevance to Prof Stock's situation whatsoever. It's like something from Animal Farm. How fucking dare they keep coming out with this stuff?

CriticalCondition · 03/11/2021 10:41

That Stonewall statement...

There’s film of the interview on Twitter @BBCWomansHour

FreezerBird · 03/11/2021 10:39

That stonewall statement....

StevieNicksscarf · 03/11/2021 10:38

She's an absolute inspiration. Exactly the sort of lecturer that I would want my DC to have when, and if, they go to university. Can't believe that this has been allowed to get to this stage. Sussex should be ashamed of their behaviour and the students are perfect examples of why some young people lack the critical thinking needed to study at university.

Am listening to statement from the university which sounds remarkably hollow. My DC would go to Sussex university over my dead body.

really good.

Was afraid Emma was going to be hostile, but she isn't

FreezerBird · 03/11/2021 10:31

This is so good; she's speaking so clearly and well, and being allowed the space to do so.

Toomie · 03/11/2021 10:30

Blimmin heck. She is amazing.

IGotHam · 03/11/2021 10:26

She is so articulate and calm. Well done woman's hour for giving her a platform to talk

Mummyoflittledragon · 03/11/2021 10:25

Just tuned in. Thanks. Will listen to the whole thing once available.

TedImgoingmad · 03/11/2021 10:22

@GCmiddle posted this the other day. I will be sending her a card and supportive message.

Her literary agent Caroline Hardman has offered to send them on. C/o Hardman and Swainson, S106, New Wing, Somerset House, Strand, London WC2R 1LA.

@endofagain

Thank goodness BBC, WH and Emma Barnett have come to their senses and are actually covering this topic now. I stopped listening to WH years ago, but I will listen to this later.

Yes, thank goodness. Weirdly, it makes me even angrier to think about how long they ignored it though.

It's an incredibly moving testimony, and so important that it's heard.

Etinoxaurus · 03/11/2021 10:21

@HH76ds31

She sounds so measured, articulate and intelligent.

Utterly calm and measured. Extraordinary woman 💪
