Have a listen to this BBC OS radio interview on the ban on men in womens sport. They are absolutely glorious to listen to - had the interviewer Mark Löwen tied up in knots and challenged his words beautifully.
From 26 minutes in.

Two amazing, well informed women able to debate with facts, as opposed to a pathetic BBC kindness clone who wanted to centre the men in skirts.

I loved the clarification that the presenters use of transwoman & she were actually references to males. 💪

I absolutely exploded when both woman carefully explained that they had spent the day after the ruling doing interviews being constantly asked to focus on how men might feel now about being fully excluded from women’s sport. The very next question, the very next question was how would men feel being excluded from women’s sport. He didn’t even leave a gap but thankfully they caught him up in his own bullshit making him explain he meant males and the annihilated him and his idiocy.

That was amazing Sharron and Mara. Exceedingly well prepped, well argued, on topic. I am in awe, humbled and ridiculously proud.
As for the interviewer.....must try harder....

SirChenjins · 06/05/2025 12:46

Absolutely brilliant interview - they systematically dismantled every single one of the spurious claims made by the TWs and demolished the interviewer who (predictably) insisted on centring males and their 'needs'. Great stuff.

Haven't heard the interview but I assume this is connected. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1919482434132881636.html?utm_campaign=topunroll

That is hilarious, Dennis completely nails it.

dubaichocolate · 06/05/2025 12:24

They were fabulous! And Dennis is bang on. I don’t understand but why were Sharron and Mara challenged yet Jessica wasn’t, when they claimed they couldn’t play football anymore? They even said themselves they could play in the men’s, so they were contradicting their own words. I mean I know why, but still.

MassiveWordSalad · 06/05/2025 12:06

Thank you so much Mara and Sharron, absolute warriors. And thanks to Dennis Kavanagh too 😁

Literally just read this and came on here to post. Too funny - and painfully spot on.

That's funny. And actually highly relevant

This, from Dennis Kavanagh:
Hello and welcome to the a neutral BBC show in which we discuss "Are terfs complete scum?". In this episode, we'll begin crossing live to a terribly sad transvestite (TST) who cannot play in women's sport because of evil terfs. I began with the question "are terfs evil?"
2/ TST: "Yes"

BBC Drone "How evil would you say they are?"

TST: "Very"

BBC Drone: "For balance, some of the evil terfs say women have higher injury risk when massive blokes calling themselves "Barbara" play sport, is there an epidemic of transphobia?"

TST: "Yes"
3/

BBC Drone: "Well, there you have it. A compelling and, some reasonable people might say disgusting display of hatred by evil terfs. For balance we will now cross to a drag Queen"

Drag Queen: "Hi"

BBC Drone: "How evil are terfs in your view?"

Drag Queen: "Very"
4/

BBC Drone: "There are, unfortunately, some awful terfy women who haven't apologised for the Supreme Court Judgment yet. We are joined by Sharron Davies MBE now who has been particularly unapologetic. Sharron, let me start with a neutral question, how do you sleep at night?"
5/

Sharron: "Pretty well thanks now that woman don't suffer increased injury risk and have a chance at the tiny percentage of money that goes to female sports"

BBC Drone: "Can I ask you to stop being so toxic please. Do you not realise how sad that transvestite was?"
6/

Sharron: "I just don't care. Women are entitled to sports."

BBC Drone: "Can I just pause you for a moment please and ask you stop ranting. I just said a transvestite we found is really sad. Have you no heart?"

Sharron: "I'd like to talk about women"
7/

BBC Drone: "Could I ask you to dial down the toxic transphobia for a second please. Do you not understand that not only was a transvestite sad, we also found a drag queen who is also sad"

Sharron: "Nothing can counter male advantage in sport. This is about fairness"
8/

BBC Drone: "Are you not even going to apologise for the Supreme Court or behave like a proper woman and care about sad men?"

Sharron: "Can we talk maybe about polling athletes which the FA failed to do?"

BBC Drone: "Excuse me, are you hard of hearing?"

Sharron: "Eh?"
9/

BBC Drone: "I just told you a transvestite was really sad and you seem to want to talk about fairness in women's sports for some reason"

Sharron: "Yeah that's right"

BBC Drone: "So what you are saying is that you are you are basically Hitler then?"

Sharron: "Excuse me?"
10/ We end this report with a confirmation that at no point have any of the women we interviewed apologised for their views or the fact that transvestites are sad. Speaking neutrally, it seems this toxic debate fuelled by evil terfs like unrepentant Sharron just will run and run.
11/ Thank you. And now for the thought for the day which is presented by a drag queen followed by antiques road show also featuring drag queens and then a legal discussion "are terfs evil or just mad?".

Amazing! Well done Sharon and Mara.

Helleofabore · 06/05/2025 08:59

They really did push back with absolute clarity. So many excellent points raised.

I mean, the presenter tried to run it by the BBC guidelines but they also were very clear how misogynistic those guidelines are. Imagine the constant centring of those male people as the BBC has done.

Thank you Sharron and Mara.

LadyBracknellsHandbagg · 06/05/2025 08:55

What a mewling little apologist he is, absolutely pathetic, they made mincemeat out of him.

The TW contributors whining about their ‘identitee’ and ‘safetee’ saying ‘I can’t play football anymore’ yes you can mate, you can play with the men, where you belong. So sick of hearing this shit.

RaininSummer · 06/05/2025 08:54

That was great. Thanks for posting.

borntobequiet · 06/05/2025 08:51

They were great, as ever. The interviewer a bit clueless, as so often. He should understand better now, though.

Justwrong68 · 06/05/2025 08:23

Mind your blood pressure listening to this. That guy is something else!
