Hoping there is a video of the section on its own, if not will watch GMB on catch up tonight. Well done Flowers

We're you in hair and make-up with JF?

YesItsADebate · 19/03/2018 08:59

Her name’s Jane. No, we were kept as far apart as they could possibly manage until we went into the studio Hmm

Star you’ve inspired lots of women Star

You're fantastic!

GabeIsShocking · 19/03/2018 09:06

Yes, Flowers thank you Amy, on behalf of woman kind.

TERFragetteCity · 19/03/2018 09:07

You really are the dudest dude of them all. Flowers [if that isn't too girly].

Cannot wait to see the clip! Thank you and well done. This has done the most to bring the issue to the general public, which is exactly what is needed. I have faith in people's ability to see this is a ludicrously bad idea.

Trilllllian · 19/03/2018 09:29

Can someone post a clip and tell me what time in to watch?

MunchausensLovelyHorse · 19/03/2018 09:34

I really want to see the clip, too.

Well done, Amy. And Hannah.

It’s here, starts about 1.32. You need to be a registered itv hub user and be prepared to sit through a million ads though.

Amy, you were excellent. 😍

Yay! My first terf accusation

FairfaxAikman · 19/03/2018 11:15

Oh and apparently "cis-people" self ID.

BoreOfWhabylon · 19/03/2018 12:22

YesItsADebate Did you manage to peak-trans the hair and make up ladies?

DarthArts · 19/03/2018 13:16

Managed to get through the adverts - Amy you were great :-)

YesItsADebate · 19/03/2018 13:37

Thankyou! The clip is here:

TerfsUp · 19/03/2018 13:40

Greatclip! JF did the cause no good at all.

picklemepopcorn · 19/03/2018 13:47

Well done Amy! Fantastic!

Mner · 19/03/2018 13:54

Absolutely awesome. Did JF seem to be arguing for us at one point?

MargeH · 19/03/2018 14:02

Very impressive, Amy. Well done.

Kneedeepinunicorns · 19/03/2018 14:04

So good, Amy. Flowers

Point really clear: not about anyone being anti trans, it's about self ID being a bloody stupid idea and freely open to exploitation with people made uncomfortable about it and being helpless to argue back against a silly policy, as you've so brilliantly demonstrated.

I particularly love that you had the courage to go topless, demonstrating too how silly the Swim England guidance is to suggest that the exct same anatomy can actually change sex in front of your eyes depending on what you choose to name it as, and its up to the beholder to adjust their discomfort to fit social mores accordingly.

Reading the Independent comments and the grumpy men, no, I don't think many of them would be willing to regard bare boobs as a male chest no matter what you say. This really makes people look at the reality of what women are being asked to suck up here.

Btw, what the fuck was JF going on about with committing bank fraud?? How was that in any way relevant?

KERALA1 · 19/03/2018 14:07

Loved that Amy was so calm and reasonable.

thenightsky · 19/03/2018 14:16

Excellent! JF did themselves no favours and came across as a person on the verge of a temper tantrum.

QuinionsRainbow · 19/03/2018 14:41

In the mail as well

Bit late to this particlar party, but can anyone explain why "his" breasts/nipples were covered by a towel for the photograph? Just asking!

YesItsADebate · 19/03/2018 14:43

Quinions the photographer decided that nipples did not belong in ‘a family newspaper’. NOT that I would have allowed nipples anyway!
