I listened to her episode this morning and really enjoyed it, these little gems in particular:
When she was a child, she got sick to death of her brother being allowed to do stuff that she wasn't, so demanded to be called Andi (instead of Andrea) because she 'wanted to be a boy'
Interviewer asked if she was a child today, would she want to change her pronouns too. She dismissed that idea and said it was only because she wanted to do what her brother could do when they were kids
She is sick of everyone labelling themselves and finds it very tiring
She wants everyone to live their best lives etc but doesn't want to have to hear about it all the time 
She pointed out that Harry Styles wearing a dress is nothing new. Guys wearing make up - nothing new
She's sick of teenagers explaining stuff to get like it's the most revolutionary idea ever, when to her it's old news 
She did everything but say I'm gender critical '. Really enjoyable interview and I recommend it, although be warned there are some very dark themes explored earlier in the recording. Good for you Andi!

Well maybe she's had a bit of a rethink Corr. Maybe having young trendy people coming out and celebrating their 'gender identity' in her face non stop has made her re-evaluate and see what a load of nonsense it is. Or maybe not. I'm just sharing what she said
