Be interesting if it actually gets debated.

Watching....

LizzieSiddal · 22/02/2018 20:06

Watching

I suppose it will be a PR job for the TRAs.

soundsystem · 22/02/2018 20:06

Oh, thanks for the heads up! Just switched over...

Terftastic · 22/02/2018 20:07

Thanks for the tip off - watching now. Let's see - I'm not too hopeful our concerns will be addressed tbh.

OhFucko · 22/02/2018 20:07

Starting with drag queens...that'll go down well!

I don't think I can risk my blood pressure by watching it! Relying on this thread for the lowdown first!

They love the 48% of trans kids attempting suicide statastic.

Don't think I can ear to watch it. I'll just get to annoyed I'm sure!

There’s always Miss Marple if I start shouting at the tv too much - I’ve started already....

SmurfOrTerf · 22/02/2018 20:11

Sittin are you me ? I turned over to avoid it, I thought I'd see what the rest of you made of it first

Terftastic · 22/02/2018 20:13

I've got to "get with the program". That's what I have to do, apparently.

Doobigetta · 22/02/2018 20:13

71 genders on that fucking wall, and I did not see "woman" there.

thenightsky · 22/02/2018 20:14

Sensible women on now (I hope)

Terftastic · 22/02/2018 20:15

We're not allowed "woman" anymore....

LizzieSiddal · 22/02/2018 20:15

Oh some sense at last!

Doobigetta · 22/02/2018 20:15

These mothers being interviewed are great, though- are they three of us?

Trailedanderror · 22/02/2018 20:15

Just turned on. Sane at the moment!

Terftastic · 22/02/2018 20:16

Yes - I am those 3 women.

Trailedanderror · 22/02/2018 20:16

I spoke too soon. Sad
Oh ffs! 'We're uncomfortable with the pace of change'
No we're not!

OhFucko · 22/02/2018 20:16

No, children don't 'settle into a binary.' They ARE a binary.

They are girls, or they are boys. Regardless of feelz.

No woman or man. Just cis.

Also can’t bear to watch, might catch up depending on how this thread goes.

soundsystem · 22/02/2018 20:18

@Doobiegetta, was going to say the same thing!

I'm quite happy for people to identify as two-spirit or whatever they like, but did I hear right that those 71 genders cover 1% of people? So presumably a lot of other people identify as a "woman" or a "man"?

Doobigetta · 22/02/2018 20:18

Are there any 15 year olds who aren't INTENSE? Isn't that the whole point of being 15?
