Two men and a trans woman on todays jeopardy. AIBU to say that it isn’t inclusive to exclude women?

They will have to start doing more contestants if they want to hit all their inclusivity targets

Ducksinthebath · 19/01/2024 16:25

How do you know they were excluded? Is there a daily quota? Do they always aim for a mixed sex panel?

There was a trans woman last week as well

There have been two episodes so far so I think? it's far too early to judge whether they have a skewed ratio of the sex of their participants.

And? There's been shows with 3 females before. I'm trying to figure out your actual issue. Is it just that you hate trans people and you think they shouldn't be on TV... you can just say that.

Ladybrrrd · 19/01/2024 16:37

Good. I hope there's nothing but trans contestants forever and ever, on every show.

That would be extremely dull. It’s good to have a mix.

Yes, could have a good mix of TM, TW, and non-binary people.

Ladybrrrd · 19/01/2024 16:39

Maybe the occasional drag queen.

so women and men then?

Look OP I am GC but that doesn;t mean trans people have to not exist or be on TV shows! It's a crappy afternoon quiz show - I am sure they have a mix of contestants every day - I'm not seeing the issue

Why just trans and non-binary?

Just have people who pass the audition regardless of gender.

TinyYellow · 19/01/2024 16:59

Would you want a woman there just as a token? A trans woman being there obviously doesn’t mean that women are included, but I don’t think everyone always has to be included in everything anyway. Things would turn to shit if every possible group of people always had to include both sexes and someone from every minority.

Ok so that’s 3 people, surely lots of people will feel excluded if they have the same mindset as you. There’s also no trans men on your list, why aren’t you bothered they were ‘excluded’ this time?

Scutterbug · 19/01/2024 17:03

FFS.

Everyone is non binary, so that should be easy to achieve.

KarenNotAKaren · 19/01/2024 17:04

I thought that.

The third bloke was on that documentary about having an oversized penis too. I wonder if that’s why he’s fidgeting so much

KarenNotAKaren · 19/01/2024 17:06

Representation is important.

And over representation is 100% a thing.

No POC either on this show or the one next week judging by the preview

No thanks, many of us don’t want to see men in womanface

It's actually the first time I've noticed you can use gifs (I think) and yes, I'm excited about it.

Bex5490 · 19/01/2024 23:55

Lol - of all the things to care about jeopardy is bottom of my list. I’m a black woman and would be ok if they only ever had white male contestants for ever because it’s a shit show and you can keep it 😂

Bex5490 · 19/01/2024 23:59

List of shows Im cool with not being represented on:

  1. bargain hunt
  2. catchphrase
  3. Anything with Keith Lemon
  4. four in a bed
  5. the stupid fashion bit on this morning
