towards the end of the programme there's a question on gender.
I've never heard such uniformly evasive answers, focussing heavily on 'be kind' and 'take the heat out of the debate'.
Very very depressing.

It was laughable. Pure fill your bingo card stuff. Sport is under the control of the sporting bodies and they've studied it in great detail and are doing a fine job. The only example of women's single sex spaces was toilets. Trans people are those that fit the profile transsexual, although they didn't use that word which, oddly, is a word that you can't hardly speak these days. But contradicted it with Jamie Wallis is S&B. #bekind. Or if you're not, you're being toxic.

It was so disheartening. Bland waffle and endless be kind - all aimed at women budging over to make space for men.

Bet they 'run out of time' on Any Answers too, as ever.

Grin Because if we all get behind this, then they won't be able to avoid answering going forward. One of my friends said that too "it is depressing". It is. But there are things that we can get behind. It will not always be this way. Don't despair wims.

Who’s answering?

Yes, it was really disheartening.

Just listened to this with DH, it was a joke tbh. No engagement with the actual issues and just a load of 'be kind' twaddle.
