Presenter: What would you say to people who say you've been bankrolled by high profile individuals and you are in essence an anti-trans organisation?

[Me, in kichen: Oh fuck off!]

Susan: [fortunately] Sensible, considered answer.

ILikeDungs · 23/04/2025 10:15

Bankrolled by a witch, how dare they!

nauticant · 23/04/2025 10:14

What do you say to people who say you've been bankrolled by people like JKR and you are in fact an anti-trans lobby group?

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 23/04/2025 10:13

I want Susan to run the country. So clear!

nauticant · 23/04/2025 10:13

The name For Women Scotland was a play on the fact that they wondered if there'd be only 4 women in the group.

The transwoman toilet issue is literally not our problem!! Why is it women's bloody problem what offensive men want to do? Grrr

Listening now...thanks OP.
I don't want to derail but could someone help me out please with wether it should be transwomen or trans women? I can't remember the difference- does the latter act as an adjective suggesting they are a subset of women?

‘Transwomen’ tends to be preferred on here, for the reasons you mention.

WinterTrees · 23/04/2025 10:12

I missed who the guest speaker is but she's brilliant. The presenter (not Nuala - she must have been taken ill at the idea of centring women and had to go and lie down) is determined to prioritise the TW narrative but she is at least giving her plenty of time to speak.

An honourable mention to Mumsnet!

Women aren't human shields, heard on BBC! Goodness

nauticant · 23/04/2025 10:11

It's like they're having two different conversations. Are BBC people being provided with a set of talking points and being told specifically not to check on the actual facts?

Excellent-- no empathy extended to women, SS points out

TheOtherRaven · 23/04/2025 10:09

Are you sorry that it turns out you have rights that make men sad?

nauticant · 23/04/2025 10:07

Presenter: I hear what you're saying but do you have empathy for transwomen?

It's on now. They're going with the Supreme Court judgment as the first segment in the programme.

😮

She’s popped up on my X timeline today (and I’d been wondering about her) but I hope that somebody thinks to interview Teresa Steele, whose life-saving operation was cancelled by HCA(UK) “for a lack of shared beliefs”.

2 1/2 years on, she says that she is doing well and has been working with HCA to implement “Gold standard patient policy to guarantee same sex care”

What did Jenni do? Speak the truth?

The most relevant part starts at:

I was not leaving, contrary to popular rumour, as a result of ageism on the part of the BBC. I made the decision a year ago when it became clear to me that it was time to move on and be free of the leash which, in recent years, had caused me to be what I can only describe as ‘cancelled’.

I sincerely hope that the women of FWS make a few points about how much WH let women down over the past few years.

God knows how many emails I’ve sent them over the last few years (including a couple of praise TBF, when they interviewed someone sensible).

Sandylittleknees · 23/04/2025 07:01

Maybe they (WH) could apologise to Jenni!!! Perhaps LWS will mention her.

VioletSpeedwell · 23/04/2025 06:56

I wish they'd invite Jenni Murray back to host a one hour special.

HaveYouActuallyDoneAnyWashingThisWeekMum · 23/04/2025 06:48

They‘ve finally deigned to Let Women Speak. I hope the presenter accords the women every ounce of warm-hearted genuine respect they deserve.
