James is going to be discussing trans issues today on LBC. His show is on now - not sure what time the segment will start, but should be good!

Hard to see how the issues women are raising outweighs the needs of Caitlyn and Zoe. Are you on glue, job?

SwearyG · 19/03/2018 12:22

Where are the TIFs?

Madmarchpear · 19/03/2018 12:24

I've gone right off him now. His inner entitled posh boy surfaced when waffling about the injustice he is being tarred with the same brush as sex offenders. The point made about how women have to be constantly vigilant of their personal safety was the death blow. She nailed it.

Pratchet · 19/03/2018 12:25

That's it no more. Completely unbalanced!

Nosetothesun · 19/03/2018 12:25

I think JOB will get there.... there's a lot more for him to absorb.
The last 2 full interviews can be unpicked.

Lottapianos · 19/03/2018 12:25

Hannah / Sweary, you were absolutely bloody marvellous. You are one hell of a brave woman - I would never ever have the guts to subject myself to James O'Brien and his bullying. Thank you so much for speaking up on behalf of all 'TERFs'. Be proud of yourself

O'Brien really outdid himself today. Clapping himself on the back for understanding the issue and being such a great feminist, while NAMALTing for all he's worth and demanding the right to come into women's changing rooms with his daughter. He doesn't get it. AT ALL. But thank you so much for trying Hannah

Elendon · 19/03/2018 12:26

I'm so glad I don't listen to this show. He sounds shouty and vile. Just for the sake of it. It's like Piers Morgan on speed.

Vile.

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 19/03/2018 12:26

Jobs twitter feed full of men feeling sorry for men......zero understanding of womens feelings.

Pratchet · 19/03/2018 12:26

Can I just shout out to the woman who was shut down - ooh is she coming back?

SwearyG · 19/03/2018 12:26

By the way, I want to thank everyone cheerleading on this thread. It's a big deal for me to do this - I was too scared to put my hand up at a Women's Place meeting just a few weeks back. I'm shaking like a leaf now, but having you all behind me and also knowing that I had to represent you as best I could really spurred me on.

MrsWooster · 19/03/2018 12:26

To his credit, he has researched and reported on the Martin Ponting case.

Pratchet · 19/03/2018 12:27

Talking about male rapist in women's prison actually detailing the case

JudIII · 19/03/2018 12:27

Moving on to brexit now... sigh

BMacklin · 19/03/2018 12:27

Yet for Sweary !!!! My hero!

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 19/03/2018 12:27

Sweary you are a legend.

He’s a self absorbed bully.

nauticant · 19/03/2018 12:28

Well done Roz, you got JOB to acknowledge just about all of your point about a rapist in a women's prison. He didn't sound very pleased to be doing that.

LineysRun · 19/03/2018 12:28

It was very valuable though in terms of planning tactics going forward. Shows us what to prepare for.

And Sweary was great and now has an interview under her belt.

CadyHeron · 19/03/2018 12:28

By the way, I want to thank everyone cheerleading on this thread.

You're brilliant, well done you Smile

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 19/03/2018 12:28

You were amazing Sweary.......

You were my voice in the madness.

You have inspired me, and hopefully many others to start going public.

I don't have a job to lose.....so I might change my Twitter accounts etc to my real name and start talking.

Thank you Flowers

Pratchet · 19/03/2018 12:28

Well done sweary. I've not heard anyone get the better of him before. I think that's why he over compensated with the TIMs.

Mouthtrousersafrocknowandthen · 19/03/2018 12:29

All women can suffer James, you are happy with that. Not all men though, the ones men will abuse have to hide with the women, and we can all suck it up if a violent man comes in. We understand you now James. Nobody cares.

MrsWooster · 19/03/2018 12:29

Don't bother phoning - they've moved on. You can email though: I mailed about the guides issue, To try and get his head, literally and metaphorically, away from toilets and back to girls and women's rights to dignity.

LanaKanesTerfyVagina · 19/03/2018 12:29

At least he had the bollox to mention Martin Ponting at the end.

Terftastic · 19/03/2018 12:29

You did good, Sweary. Really good.

I'm still at the stage where I shake after re-tweeting something gender critical.

Lottapianos · 19/03/2018 12:30

It's even more impressive Sweary that you were so scared but did it anyway. You stayed so extremely calm and rational all the way through, even with the phone line dropping out near the start. You make me proud to be a 'TERF' Grin
