Across the Red Line
Do we really need to find common ground in society?

Interesting discussion on BBC R4 atm using gender ideology vs women’s rights as an example. The female discussant is brilliant. She’s not allowing any reframing of transgenderism as being a moderate position.

Camilla Tominey is a Telegraph writer as well as being on GB News. Agree I’m quite surprised they let someone so forthright on this on Radio 4.

Yes she was clear there was no compromise available. The other party kept banging on about gay rights. A man of course.

So inane. No better argument.

Shame about Luke Tryl. I really like his take on polling etc.
But once again, another media ecosphere type tacking to the position showing no bravery or critical thinking.
Trylmis like "gays fought for their rights/LGB is now LGBTQ/ergo the fight for gay rights is the fight for trans rights".
Love Camilla, she shows absolute moral indignantion with all this, zero sum game is the corner that the trans lobby have pushed this.
15 years of no debate from their side is countered today by women's rights and trans rights are wholly incompatible.

What “representative spread” would you like

Couple of men - one in a dress would likely suffice?

The other person was Luke Tryl. Worked for Nicky Morgan. Not Labour.

Camilla is a presenter for GB News.

Not exactly a representative spread.

That’s what I was thinking. From a bloody Labour think tank? I was so glad that she was having none of it. Mentioned politicians who spoke about growing a cervix etc. Now that some slight semblance of reality is beginning to emerge, Labour wants to pretend they were always ‘reasonable’.

Heard most of it on the way to work. Quite good, and something that would have never got air time a year ago
