@BigFrau I was also in shock!

I turned the volume up on the tv when I saw the strap line was about gender, fully expecting to hear some #bekind nonsense. But it was sensible and covered a lot of ground in a few minutes.

This morning is pretty horrendous on this topic. What did they say?

It was really honest and truthful. I couldn't believe it!

I don't know who the two guests were, but I'm also guessing doctors.

The discussion was as @WeeBitOfWoo has outlined it: policy exchange report, the Cass review, social transitioning, advocating a "wait and see" approach.

Holly asked for clarification of "gender distress".

The male guest even mentioned the issue of males in female sport!

It was quite a short segment (part of the newspaper review) but touched on a fair few issues in a limited time.

It's great that these issues are getting airtime on mainstream TV and being mentioned more often in places like AIBU, for example, to reach a wider audience.

Fucking hell. Holly has been championing these policies for years via unquestioning support for Mermaids and is now surprised that they’ve taken hold? 🤦‍♀️

(Golden Bridge, Cholet, Golden Bridge!)

Bet Willoughby’s blood pressure is sky high This Morning (pun intended).

It was really good. I missed who the two talking heads were that were discussing it with Holly & the Phil stand-in (no idea who he is).

They were talking about the Policy exchange report. Then the Cass review.

The woman (is she a TV doctor?) was concerned about social transitioning and advocating a ‘wait and see’ approach for children with ‘gender distress’. Sue talked about gay adults often saying they’d had gender dysphoria before growing out of it and realising they were gay.

Everyonr agreed. Holly nodding and looking ‘concerned’ Grin.

Everyone really shocked and worried that 28% of schools don’t have single sex toilets.

Well Phil can't be on there this week due to his brother.

Holy moly!

Which presenters are on? This Morning has been dominated by Susie Green, India Willoughby and the BeeeeeeKiiiinnnnd brigade - this feels significant!
