An archetype of the trans activist response:

I’ve been meaning to write to thank the BBC for several pieces and will add this interview.

Great work Hadley and well done in not being derailed into side arguments about Kath Viner.

Birdsweepsin · 05/12/2022 10:28

That was superb. Well done Hadley

'It's hard to go against the mantra of your political tribe.'

This is the eye of the shitstorm isn't it?

WishIWasACavewoman · 05/12/2022 10:26

nauticant · 05/12/2022 10:26

Long over due

Am actually delighted that Emma let her talk. Just so much sense about how trans ideology is in reality rather than in theory. She talked about safeguarding kids, women's rights and gay rights.

All hail to Hadley.

I think EB has her own strong views that she's careful to keep hidden in a desire to fit into the BBC's rules about impartiality.

WinterTrees · 05/12/2022 10:23

HF is so admirable - she has such integrity and courage.

"I'm not trying to push [Kath Viner] out of a job Emma." EB has now softened her approach slightly and is not pushing her into a corner, which makes for a much more useful discussion.

Ramblingnamechanger · 05/12/2022 10:22

Hadley is brilliant. Emma a bit defensive I would say. It’s all out there, and the particular form of censorship at the Guardian and the BBC is well exposed. I would like to hear Emma defending her awful interview of MF and the dreadful Grace Lavery..

nauticant · 05/12/2022 10:21

HF: the Sports section at the Guardian has been good about this, about the science, particularly Sean Ingle.

DrBlackbird · 05/12/2022 10:21

Or because she’s TWAW?

DrBlackbird · 05/12/2022 10:21

Is Emma pushing back so much to deflect the BBC and WH from getting ripped into?

SapphosRock · 05/12/2022 10:20

This is explosive! Shock

LizzieSiddal · 05/12/2022 10:20

This interview is just dynamite.

LizzieSiddal · 05/12/2022 10:20

No woman journalist at The Guardian is allowed to write about Sex and gender?!?!?!

AnneLovesGilbert · 05/12/2022 10:19

Did WH ever have Helen Joyce on?

SimonandGarfunkel · 05/12/2022 10:19

Yes - Reality Based Feminism- hallelujah Hadley. At last someone cutting through the crap.

AnneLovesGilbert · 05/12/2022 10:19

I’m hanging on every word, it’s bloody brilliant.

DrBlackbird · 05/12/2022 10:18

It is just so sad though. The Guardian was / is needed as a corrective to The Torygraph and the Daily Fail. But it’s chosen to die on a hill detrimental to girls and women.

The left in general is so stuck in this quagmire of always thinking of themselves as and/or wanting to support all progressive projects. That was laudable until more recently and being swept up and blindsided by the trans ‘ gender ideology as being part of the progressive agenda.

The extreme gender ideology is the best gift the far right could ever have in dividing the left and stoking culture wars ultimately to the progressive agenda.

Yes, Hadley… completely agree it’s reality based feminism, not bloody GC feminism.

SimonandGarfunkel · 05/12/2022 10:18

She's just mentioned Woman's Hour - fan bloody tastic!! Emma talking shite about presenters not allowed to have opinions!!
