India Willoughby, Question Time Thu 2 Feb 2240

Poor IW has been painted as dangerous to society, bad apples, need a suitable jail, transphobic, 1000 articles on trans people, it's not true they were put in with women, they were held in solitary. categorically no way a taoist would be moved into the women's state. are made up stories.

they're on it now ...

I'm very much looking forward to this. India is always a good watch.

Jesus, I hope she does. Hypocritical ***s

Well I've just heard Evan Davis, I think it was, talking to 2 men about the upcoming Harry Potter game.

Accusations of J. K. Rowling's transphobia and bad attitude towards trans people abounded.

Evan did fuck nothing to contradict any of it, obviously.

The entire segment was about how people want to separate the game from the woman, because of her heinous crimes.

That was it. No mention of anything else other than that.

No women there, obviously, to represent the other point of view. It's allowed to be one-sided when that's what suits.

Frankly, after what I heard, I think J. K. Rowling could sue.

Please no

An elderly lesbian woman .. no surprise there.

Thanks for the heads up. I've got people over but will watch later.

"India is one of the transpeople JK Rowling has been bullying on Twitter I see."

Save your pity for someone who doesn't shove their finger in an elderly ladies face and try to force her, threateningly, to use their pronouns.
I won't link the clip as everyone has probably seen it by now (Big Brother) but if anyone's a vicious bully it's them.

Let that penetrate.

As was said by someone, somewhere.

I see they've arrived in Scotland.

Many complimenting India on their flawless filter skin.

Is it so they are allowed to discuss lgbtq issues? As Kristin Konstantin said earlier this week? He wasn't allowed to discuss it as there wasn't anyone on for balance.

Oh God, I remember that. And india saying something like I can't feel a thing, it means nothing to me.

Well yeah, because they're not breasts. they're not an erogenous zone, they're not sensitive, and therefore you have no compunction about exposing them. Doh.

And I don't believe India would go on anything where they haven't laid some ground work first, to make sure they're not exposed.

But India has no place to go but doubling and tripling down. And unfortunately, the tide has turned, so, as a career, I'm going to predict it will be relatively short lived.

Yes I am thinking more of John Smith etc but there is no denying that the left of 20 -25 years ago, which some might describe as left light, did win elections. I believe Tony Blair is the most successful party leader the Labour party has ever had, he won 3 elections and was PM for 10 years. Corbyn was too involved with momentum and Tony Blair is right about one thing, the British public don't like extremism, we tend to favour moderates.

I'm not a Blair fan and almost resent him saying so many things I agree with since he left office. I didn't vote for him but I would now just to have someone with a degree of competence in charge.

Well that was an appalling performance by India. Bullying hectoring style. All noise, no substance.

I think you've just done a bit of transphobia there. Firstly "transwoman" is literal violence, it's "trans woman". Although tbf I haven't checked since last week, so I guess that might have changed by now Secondly, you actually said "transperson" which surely implies that you don't believe trans people are even actually people? As in, they've transitioned to being a person from something else....?

I believe Willoughby was on usual form after.

I saw that and thought it incredibly telling. Claiming not to know who the 'gc woman' was before, during or after the interview and only wanting to make a mockery of her.

So no preparation, no brief, no detail, no good faith. India just took the booking to shout over the other guest. No desire to listen or debate, just dominate and cry Nazi.

I can't think of any gc feminist who wouldn't have a good hard look into the background of any TRA they might be challenging in a public head-to-head, never mind pretend they're too above it all to remember a name.

@FOJN wasn't Corbyn eurosceptic and often described as a bit of labour old guard ?
The left today bears no relation to the left of 20 years ago, many of us who would have described ourselves as left of centre find we don't have anyone we could happily vote for.
Rightly or wrongly the left of 20 years ago really doesn't win elections. Presumably you mean John Smith/Neil Kinnock rather than Tony Blair ?

Considering this Twitter user has celebrated their blatant disrespect for women's boundaries, equality of access and inclusion, and their trampling of said boundaries by ignoring gender neutral facilities and pointedly using female only facilities for their own satisfaction with no care for the impact?

I would hope they do not try to say that they are a different kind of male from the other kinds of males who don't care about female boundaries. Because the argument would be essentially it's ok to do this to females so long as you don't actually physically harm them and get successfully convicted for it.

A lot of shouting about a cervix does nothing to change male entitlement and behaviour.

thought Ella Whelan was a koch funded Farage lover ?

This is a direct quote from EW:

"I’m going to vote for the Brexit party and I tell you that was a hard decision for me to make as someone on the left. Because I am ashamed and appalled by the fact that the left has so exited this discussion… eurosceptisim on the left… was a central tenet of left-wing viewpoints."

I think it's this statement which brings people to that conclusion but I don't think it's that clear cut. The left today bears no relation to the left of 20 years ago, many of us who would have described ourselves as left of center find we don't have anyone we could happily vote for.

Even if she is, she knows the difference between men and women, and is not afraid to say it.

I think she's a Libertarian, anyway, everyone at Spiked is. Very good person to talk about the authoritarian cultural revolution that is gender ideology.

This is the same person that said she was more of a woman that JKR, I guess he/she really doesn't know much about biology and XX XY chromosomes. Has anyone ever told India that you cannot change your biological sex?

India thinks that more than 7 years of oestrogen has changed all their bodily cells from XY to XX. The utter dolt.

Dang, I thought it would be A Passage to India. I was going to say, I have no interest in seeing India's passage, thank you.

Twitter will be fun tonight!

Questions shall be very carefully chosen

I remember when Paris Lees was on QT a few years ago there was no challenge to the trans women are women narrative or concerns real women have over female only spaces

it was a platform to inform the public that womens concerns can be ignored if instigated by a male
