'Do you ever discuss a topic and think: ‘I’d love to hear that on Woman’s Hour’? Well, here’s your chance! Listener Week is coming up & we'd like to hear from YOU! Whether it's personal stories or guest suggestions, let us know what you want to hear'

The comments are interesting, but clearly all the many women commenting are not the right kind of women for Womans Hour.

You dont have to be on twitter - the email is [email protected] Put Womens Hour as the subject and any names you care to mention. Kellie Jean Keen, the 13 year old American girl detransitioner and the Canadian who wishes to be euthanised are all possible. What was the name of the Irish girl who read the poem I am not a dress - found it, Brandubh.

Oh, fab, thank you.

I will send a wee list.

Almost all of the responses on twitter are asking for Helen Joyce or similar women's rights spokesperson. They are asking for discussion on everything that the trans ideology has brought about. Amazing to see so many people asking for the same thing.

I'm going to suggest The Baroness, for steely clarity.

Cool, thanks @anyolddinosaur

…Emma Barnett I mean.

Maternity leave, isn’t it?

Dunno. She may have been sent to a gulag after asking too many questions. They don't like it when interviewers do that.

Does Emma Barnett still host it?

Actually someone I'd lvoe to hear from again would be Germaine Greer, but I think she's not doing much lately.

Have not RTFT - has anyone suggested Helen Joyce. I think she wrote a book.

😁

But it is not an important book and she has been invited on to Woman’s Hour too many times to count….

Wouldn’t this be part of ‘let them speak’, the initiative to let as many of the most vocal trans activists speak on panels as possible ? L

Show quote history

Absolutely!

I do mean it when I say it would be BRILLIANT for them to have some voices from the 'other side' on, too.

I can think of several, but I doubt they'd agree to it.

Grace Lavery v Helen Joyce was a great debate that never happened, of course.

Yes - thinking about this, there's rarely a debate is there? We get interviews with an individual with challenge from interviewers (well women get challenged - transactivists less so) but no robust discussion between parties.

Such a shame - although not surprising as there's so little for transactivists to work with. But this lack of critical challenge is why we're in this current mess.

Allison Bailey!
sod it, it’s almost making me wish I was on evil twitter….

IcakethereforeIam · 30/07/2023 20:52

Has anyone suggested Helen Joyce? Grin

or Hannah Barnes. Though was she on after Time to Think was published? I bet she wasn't. Sharron Davies is another good call and The Baroness.

I'm not on twitter so can't suggest it, but I'd like to hear Baroness Nicholson. Obviously been doing sterling work on this issue, but has had a long, interesting and at times controversial career prior to that. Has succeeded in politics inspite of being female and disabled. Active in charity work. All round powerful woman and good egg. I'd be delighted to listen to her being interviewed by someone intelligent.

great idea.
