Amazing. So many truth bombs πŸ˜„ Nuala did sound increasingly panicky as the interview went on. To be fair to Nuala, she was probably anticipating the onslaught of complaints they will receive about how transphobic the BBC is. They feel they have a duty to say "contested issue, different viewpoints blah blah". But Joanna made her points perfectly πŸ‘ŒπŸ»And Nuala was much less hostile than usual.

They're taking their sweet time to make it available. 🫀

She absolutely put Nuala's gas at a peep! Nuala is such a handmaiden, I can only imagine her blood pressure must have got very very high. Joanna was very calmly going through the details ,with Nuala trying to interrupt (and just not managing). Particularly liked this exchange:

J : "I know that you often give a platform to women and, eh, men who identify as women, who hold the opposite view from me, and that's fine, I support free speech; but I think it's very important for your listeners to know that there are many women out there who hold the view that I hold, that there's nothing wrong (N attempts to interrupt again but J ploughs on) with that view, indeed they have the law on their side."

N: "And that, I think, Woman's Hour, we hear from everybody, that's very much part, eh, of, emm, our, errrrm, structure and the meaning that we have with this programme, to hear from as many voices and as many, eh, different points of view, and , then, our listeners can decide. But we are having you on today for your memoir" [yadda yadda yadda].

She was near speechless. Apopleptic, methinks.

I dont normally listen to WH anymore because of the infuriating blatant bias etc.

Feeling a bit emotional after Joanna Cherrys section.
SHE WAS SO DAMMED GOOD. Articulate and calm and knowledgeable and more than a match for Nuala thingys nonsense.
She made so many good points but I will steal the comment that trans people have the same protections as everyone else but they do not have the right in law to be treated as a woman. Im always looking for very simple statements to counter the #bekind mantra.

Its beyond unfair that I should be so happy over a simple opportunity to state our case and dare to hope.

Do read Joannas book. It gives insight into the sorry state of our provincial, corrupt, (no better than student politics) and pitiful Holyrood assembly. Not sure Westminster is any better but at least Im grateful they intervened on self ID.

Im going out for a nice coffe to celebate. #womenwontwheest.πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³

Edit. And no inane drag queen contribution for β€œbalance” 😱😱😱😱😱😱
