'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.

@IwantToRetire you do you, and other people will say what they want to. Helen is extraordinarily good at articulating the issues.

Maya. Helen Joyce. JKR, just for a few ideas. There are thousands of different angles they could interview gender critical feminists on.

Helen Joyce is a known figure, happy to talk, eloquent, thoughtful, insightful and intelligent as well as entertaining. It's not about being 'important', what an odd take.

I am slightly taken aback at the suggestions which seem to show that those who use twitter only know about a very few women, and for some reason think Helen Joyce is the most important. (Yes I know twitter is just an empty echo chamber, but maybe that's why media companies use it.)

Am not on twitter (and any way they wouldn't bother to notice) but would suggest a round up of all the women who may not have written a book, but have actually lost their job, their child/ren, friends, membership of the Labour Party just for believing in the biological fact of sex.

The reality of what is going is, is what is horrendous. Women's Hour should at least acknowledge this by making public these women whose lives have been turned upside down by TRAs.

If they disagree with Helen Joyce et al, fine - have them on and debate the issues! Have on someone to counter the 'gc' arguments. Either grow a bloody backbone, or fuck off into obscurity. Stop calling yourselves women's advocates if you are working so damn hard to silence women you disagree with. It's actually worse than having no advocates at all.

I dunno, Hermione. Part of me likes the fact that this will remain as a record of how fucking craven and wrong headed so-called women's groups and organisations have become over these issues.

Why are they bothering asking us when they ignored us last time?

Helen Joyce! Articulate, insightful and so clear about the core issues. (They'll move heaven and earth to keep her silent) .
