"A pick me girl is a girl that craves male validation by insinuating that she isn't like other girls. It's just the vibe I get from Lorraine"

This, together with the obsequious fawning over certain guests.

It's the narrowest of world views Winter, and so unpleasant with it. I see a drag queen I used to like who came out as NB and hitched everything to the wagon is today pointing out what the Prof was subjected to was just 'peaceful protest'. I really don't think anyone who thinks that can be a nice person. Certainly not an intelligent one.

Mimmybirthingparent is doing a buttergasp on twitter about Prof Stock's audacity in using the media interest in her being bullied out of her job to actually state her case.

twitter.com/mimmymum/status/1457668278315278337

'I intend to use it!' Mimmy states with an exclamation mark of horror, banging the gavel down on Prof Stock's brazen world domination plan.

Women are supposed to politely defer to men, transpeople, dogs, unicorns and amoebas before voicing their own opinions, clearly. How very unladylike of Kathleen Stock to speak out about her own experience of harassment and intimidation.

ArabellaScott · 08/11/2021 11:25

Can only see the wee clip. Seemed fairly civilised.

If we can all agree to disagree and talk about it in a respectful manner, that will be a great start.

Thanks and well done, Lorraine and Dr Stock.

@GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER

Can’t stand Lorraine, so don’t think I can bear to watch.
Regardless of her views on this, Lorraine is such a pick me woman!

Wow

Here's a clip of it from Twitter for those who missed it

If Lorraine is considered the most committed TRA ally, and yet she still is giving Stock a platform and acknowledging there must be a debate, then I'm not sure she will get much positive TRA feedback.

Unless, of course, they have learnt that alienating their most avid supporters is not the best strategy.

Helleofabore · 08/11/2021 10:38

Met her match?

Oh dear.

That was hilarious OhHoly! Thanks for posting that.

BraveBananaBadge · 08/11/2021 10:38

Telling tweet that, Oh. On their high horse before admitting they hadn't seen it - don't even know what they're talking about but happy to stick the boot in which is TRAs in a nutshell. A lot of patronising, mocking replies believing the Prof to be too old and stupid to know what she was if for going on Lorraine.

burnoutbabe · 08/11/2021 10:35

I watched it with my parents and it started a discussion of what this is all about and what self id means now.

And fair play to Lorraine for actually politely allowing different views and debate. Surely that's the issue, that no debate is allowed in places.

Abhannmor · 08/11/2021 10:34

@littlbrowndog

Yeah I think it was important that Kathleen got across that both women and men were afraid to speak about this
So true. My sons told me they are frightened of their own peer group. They have left Facebook now. Brava for Professor Stock. I place my faith in Lorraine's audience to see through her flim flam and realise the truth of the matter.
TheCunkOfPhilomena · 08/11/2021 10:31

That was a contrived performance by Lorraine.

She knows people want to hear more about this so she invited Kathleen on to show some sort of willing but she spoke over her repeatedly in order that every single viewer was left in no doubt that the 'correct' or 'nice' opinion is that we need to believe TWAW.

She controlled that interview to within an inch of its life, barely letting Kathleen speak about what's happened to her or what her opinions actually are.

I'm just hoping that some of the viewers watching will now be questioning wtf went on at Sussex.

Blackandwhitehorse · 08/11/2021 10:25

Kathleen was great, and do you know what I thought Lorraine did ok.

She was very clear to distance herself from Kathleen’s views, but treated her with respect and said there should be open debate. So I thought fair play to her, her views may change in time as the implications become clear.

endofagain · 08/11/2021 10:24

Vacuous is exactly the right word to describe Lorraine. At one time she was a good journalist, but she has got very lazy in her nice morning TV role. She clearly hasn't done any research.
However, it is good that KS is getting exposure in this way and there will be many viewers who will have pause for thought.

FemaleAndLearning · 08/11/2021 10:24

I can only see praise on Twitter L with the LGbT have tweeted and Lorraine has thanked them for their thank you.

@TheBeardedVulture

The TRAs are nothing if not predictable.
Indeed.

Met her match?

Oh dear.

@Gumbomambo

I can’t link because I’m a bit shit. Lorraine is trending on Twitter. She’s already been called a hateful bigot just as bad for giving the transphobe a platform and some other nasty names. Poor Lorraine. She’s got it to come from the allies of those Trans people she’s so desperate to please and she tried so so hard.
All that virtue signalling didn’t help in the end now did it? She used her platform to spout idealogical woo and yet the people shes so desperate to please have turned on her. Shame.
Manderleyagain · 08/11/2021 10:20

Lorraine is no. 5 trending in uk on twitter, but I went through the hash tag and it's just as much supportive of stock as anti stock, and there's lots about Craig David too. I expect it trends quite often.

It'll be interesting to see what the fall out for Lorraine is. Another nail in the coffin on #nodebate though.

I never seen Lorraine for years.

There’s a reason for that and I remember why now

Seriously? Confused

Predictably.
