Did anyone else listen to this? It’s on Times radio so a bit niche. It was quite weird. At the end, jane said she had no problems using toilets with trans woman, from whom we had nothing fear. She claimed we should really be focusing on male violence and should stop “bickering”. For someone who has presented woman’s hour she quite spectacularly missed the point on safeguarding and I absolutely hated the implication that women concerned with this are “bickering”. They also let izzard talk a fair amount of shit. Massively disappointing but maybe it’s what I should expect.

Precisely. I was just amazed that she would make that point having first claimed that trans woman pose no threat. Has she got no understanding of the issue at all!? Maybe. But very odd.

They have been very much against the GC thoughts from the start. They interviewed another TW and were the same a few years back but I can’t remember who it was- (meno brain) - they were presenting a book and Fi and Jane were all over them.

It was clear when still WH that JG was this way inclined and Jenni Murray was GC and there was a rift.

Haven't listened to it but it really is an own-goal when women say that other women, fighting for their rights, are simply 'bickering'. This is what sexist, patronising, dsimissive men do - trivialise women's interactions into something on the playground.
