Evan Davis said that there will be a "good natured" chat about this in tonight's programme. This will give him a chance to demonstrate again his well-known impartiality on this issue.

It's not yet clear when this segment will be in the programme.

@AssassinatedBeauty

Prof Stock versus India Willoughby strikes me as a slightly uneven battle of wits...
It’s not just the intelligence that makes it uneven. Kathleen comes across as calm, reasonable, caring and decent. No need to describe the problems with how India can come across.

India Willoughby "I am a real woman and I'll repeat that until it really penetrates" while jabbing finger at, scowling and standing over a foot taller than a woman on Celebrity big brother.
Against one of the calmest, most informed and successful feminists in the GC movement.
I look forward to it!

I thought India had now declared themselves to be a cis woman.

Oh good. I'm sure that by the end of the programme they'll have a written definition that can be used in law and illuminates exactly what gender identity is, separate from sex and gender expression, whether there is any overlap with sex, whether it relies on sex role stereotypes, and gives a non-circular definition, agreed by all, of what a woman is.

Looking forward to having that put to bed...

Isn't India Willoughby the TW who offered to show their 'cervix' to Andrew Marr? What a shame this is radio

Did IW have one in a glass jar or something?

Davis tweeted
"Also on
@BBCPM
..

We embark on a mission to illuminate some of the fraught arguments around gender identity and biological sex.. in a light-not-heat kind of way.

You'll judge whether we've succeeded - but we have
@IndiaWilloughby
and
@Docstockk
conversing on this."

It's going to be Kathleen stock and India Willoughby.

Just heard this too but need to collect my son- not sure I trust my language listening to PM on this subject with children in the car!
