Woman’s hour is discussing the decision this morning with Joshua Rozenberg ( legal commentator)

I was wondering that after I posted. However, yesterday there was a hell of a lot of pandering balance!

But yes, women’s hour can now just be women’s hour!

They covered it yesterday. My bet is nothing today.

Iirc Maya refused their last offer to have her on. ideally the fws team would be invited but I don’t know if they’d have to include TW for balance. So in some respects I’d rather they didn’t and focussed on other women’s issues.

I think now there doesn’t need to be “balance”. It’s been clarified women are biologically women. We don’t need balance when discussing other nouns.
If they had to I would hope they find trans men it being Woman’s Hour .

"how terrible it is for men when women's legal rights present really inconvenient boundaries" nails it, @TheOtherRaven

Have they trailed it as being discussed? They did outline it yesterday, with their Scotland correspondent, Catriona someone.

I'll open the book now. Taking bets on there being little to no celebration of what this means to women, and a mass grieve-in on how terrible it is for men when women's legal rights present really inconvenient boundaries.

Yes, but we know how it will go don’t we.
