I'm Jenni Murray

Can we show our support for Jenni? I think she will be in for a kicking tomorrow

Thanks Jenni, for your bravery in speaking the truth

• I'm Jenni Murray

There was a debate on this on radio Scotland Kay Adams programme this morning, unfortunately I missed most of it but it may be possible to find it on catch up?

Hurray for Jenni and a bit of common sense. The misogynistic and ageist abuse on Twitter is despicable. Off to find link to email support to WH.

Totally suppprt Jenni Murray on this

I'm Jenni Murray.

Great thread.

Go Jenni.

Well done, Jenni. Thank you for articulating so clearly and reasonably what so many women feel.

Stonewall on the subject:

"Trans women have every right to have their identity and experiences respected too. They are women - just like you and me - and their sense of their gender is as engrained in their identity as yours or mine."

Where to bloody start??

I'm Jenni too.

(Have called the BBC comment line to say so, too - although not in these words...)

The irony of this on the day that John fucking Humphrys says on Radio 4 that calling Jo Cox's killing was not a terrorist attack... where are all the men on Twitter calling for him to resign because he's a disgusting old ugly man? Yes, people are angry - but personal attacks like those directed at Murray very much less in evidence, and certainly none of them are 'misandrist' or ageist.

I'm Jenni Murray and I've emailed Women's Hour too. If she gets fired for this I'll be demanding my licence fee back.

This is why Jenni needed to speak out. Thank you Jenni

I emailed women's hour. I'm Jenni Murray.

Is she aware of this thread?

Mercy

I hope, and assume, that Jenni Murray was fully aware of the kind of backlash she would provoke.

And as more and more of these creeps crawl out of the woodwork, people like the twits at Stonewall, Mermaids, EF, etc, will be seen to be aligning themselves with some really fucked up crazies.

I'm not sure that the establishment really has a true handle on the mentality underpinning this ideology. I truly don't want JM to get targeted, but the effect of it will be to show up the dark underbelly that informs the rest.

I love JM and always switch off when it's Jane Garvey's day.

Actually, if you read that twitter account Mercy it reads like he is on Jenni's side and pointing out the venality of the TRAs' responses to Jenni's article. It's quite a good round up of what's out there, good and bad.

No I got that. Sorry if it didn't come across that way

The BBC have issued an impartiality warning to JM. Whatever the fuck that means

here

IW is claiming fake news

What on earth is an impartiality warning?

I like the comment under the telegraph article the tweet linked to above is quoting from - "the BBC should do the same to their news teams"

It is a warning that JM has broken the BBC tenet of bring impartial. Jeremy Paxman was issued one for comments regarding the Iraq war.

India Willoughby, labelled her a “dinosaur” that had misused her position for “spouting bile”.

Eugh, India Willoughby completely missing the point there on male privilege

Why haven't the BBC commented on the support she has received from Women? Is one trans voice really that powerful?

India Willoughby also offered her a makeover "attitude and clothes" yesterday. Is that not the very definition of transplaining?

India deleted it

But I kept it
