308 replies

heldinadream · 18/06/2024 09:12

Today's WH is as follows - Woman's Hour Election Debate. In a special extended 90 minute programme, Nuala McGovern hosts the Woman's Hour Election Debate. Senior women from the main political parties of Great Britain outline their priorities for women and answer your questions. Taking part are: Scottish National Party spokesperson for Consular Affairs and International Engagement Hannah Bardell; Reform UK candidate Maria Bowtell; Green Party spokesperson for Housing and Communities Ellie Chowns; Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats Daisy Cooper; Conservative Minister of State for Disabled People, Health and Work Mims Davies; Labour Party Chair and Shadow Secretary for Women and Equalities Anneliese Dodds, and Plaid Cymru’s Westminster Leader Liz Saville Roberts.

Questions via text 84844 or WhatsApp - 03700100444

I intend to send something like the following - Given that you are all designated senior women politicians, speaking as such on Woman's Hour, can we possibly decide an answer to the question - What is a woman?

Send in yours!

Adult Human Female! FFS!

Listen to how women are just ignored by these people!

And as for, women’s rights and trans rights are not in conflict. Well how? People saying this, give details, how do you reconcile them?

when they say people, they don’t mean women at all, so they?

These replies really make clear that women are not really seen as people, are they?

SNP paraphrased - debate is harmful to lgbt community and society. Defining by body parts means lost grip on humanity. Debate to be had about prisons, women's spaces. Has to respect everyone's rights. Lots of trans constituents who feel under attack. Didn't ask for their identity or humanity to be put up for debate. Want to pass legislation to give greater dignity to trans people. Blocked by Westminster in Scotland. Debate funded by right wing evangelicals in US. Wedge issue to split liberal left. Some in labour and conservatives have used it to distract from pressing issues in society. Used trans people and identities as political football will look back and be ashamed. She is queer woman.

Only mention of women was when she identified herself as a queer woman

BionicBadger · 18/06/2024 10:16

they Should rename this Trans Hour rather than Woman’s Hour. Only Rwform seem to give a monkeys about women.

TigathaChristie · 18/06/2024 10:16

Green - not an issue. Compassion- but only for Trans!! No mention of Compassion for women.

Polarisation blah blah blah.

Greens - born as a woman.

SNP didn't answer the question AT ALL!

Hannah Bardell is an idiot and a fully paid-up Sturgeon-ite trans-maiden. She'll have identified as having answered the question. x.com/HannahB4LiviMP/status/1619021257051365377

PondFloater · 18/06/2024 10:16

OMG where do these idiots come from.
Did you notice that the Reform woman - talking about biological reality - was talked over by the host

TigathaChristie · 18/06/2024 10:15

They are all starting from the point of view of the TRANS - except Reform. So basically cannot answer the ffing question.

BionicBadger · 18/06/2024 10:14

Oh yes the equality act is working brilliantly. Hence there are no court cases where women are fighting for the rights they are losing. Useless. Next!

TigathaChristie · 18/06/2024 10:14

Basically too many service providers so can't be expected to think about everything- it's all working well- Yes seriously!!!

No contradiction- so Basically hard of thinking writ large.

TigathaChristie · 18/06/2024 10:12

Daisy Cooper - vast majority "identify" honestly this bollocks is not good for my blood pressure!!

Upsidetriangle · 18/06/2024 10:12

The SNP woman! They haven’t budged an inch! What ridiculous emotive, biased posturing from her!

TigathaChristie · 18/06/2024 10:11

SNP didn't answer the question AT ALL!

BionicBadger · 18/06/2024 10:11

But what about the impacts on women’s?!?!

oh piss off - who is this banging on about far right?

senua · 18/06/2024 10:10

First question: what is a woman
SNP: Trans people blah blah blah

Sausagenbacon · 18/06/2024 10:07

I've just started listening. Can anyone say who the Labour person is?

Labour has Sarah Jones - shadow minister for industry and decarbonisation, so seems an unusual choice

DanceTheDevilBackIntoHisHole · 18/06/2024 10:09

First question!!!

TigathaChristie · 18/06/2024 10:09

SNP saying poor trans no regard for women!!

BionicBadger · 18/06/2024 10:09

Boom! This will be interesting….

Waxingmoons · 18/06/2024 09:55

How do you know that you are nonbinary?
What are the signs of being born in the wrong body?

  • Where do I go to find my correct body?
what methods do exist to find out one’s gender identity??
Villagetoraiseachild · 18/06/2024 09:48

How about,
Would you want your frail and unwell mum in the same hospital ward as a man?

crockofshite · 18/06/2024 09:44

I've sent in a couple of questions.

Be interesting to see if WH have the balls to tackle the subject .. . Pardon the pun ...
