Wait! An American man who has decided to 'become a woman' will be speaking to the UK parliament on diversity?

What does he know about UK urban dance troupes? Why not just talk to Ashley Banjo Smile

Whhhhy? Out of all the people in all the world why this person? What does CJ know about diversity she supported donald trump for fucks sake. And she was cruel to her ex wife, no respect for her at all.

TheUterati · 04/05/2018 13:09

Diversity....

Right.....

I take it the encore is a speech about road safety?

MNHQ - all facts are in the public domain..... Making A Valid Point.

AbsintheFriends · 04/05/2018 13:12

Jeeeeeez. But tbh, can't imagine MPs listening to this person without rolling their eyes.

Why is an incredibly privileged, rich, white person who was lauded as a male athlete for most of their life, the right person to talk to the UK parliament on diversity?

SpareRibFem · 04/05/2018 13:47

FFS that is so f**king farcical

Ffs.

Where’s Ricky Gervais when you need him.

That timetable looks suspiciously like an mp assimilation plot.

Hang on, is this piece of gossip true?

Blame the Director of Programming for Channel 4 then, Julie. Just one thing to bear in mind before you do though, he's called Ian Katz & he's married to Mumsnet CEO, Justine Roberts*

R0wantrees · 04/05/2018 14:02

There is an urgent need to separate women's rights and concerns from that which is regarded as being 'anti-trans/ transphobic'

The Women's and Equalities Committee must surely be asked to consider the impact of misogyny as a matter of urgency?
www.parliament.uk/womenandequalities

"The not-remotely funny thing is, it is these women and transwomen who are being removed from office, interviewed under police caution, verbally abused, threatened, intimidated, shoved, beaten and surrounded by baying mobs of these terrifying TRAs. This is not a few crazies sounding off on Twitter. This is real.

To our politicians: will you speak up now against this avalanche of violent misogyny? If not, why not?"

Woman's Hour
'The Manosphere'
This week Alek Minassian was arrested and accused of killing 10 people in Toronto when he drove his van into them. Just before the attack, he posted praise on social media for the 'incel rebellion' - an online community of men united by their inability to convince women to have sex with them. The incel rebellion is just one of a number of men's rights groups that have been accused of vulgar sexism, under the umbrella collective of the 'manosphere'. We hear from Mike Wendling an assistant editor at BBC Trending, and Ruby Lott-Lavigna an online journalist who's spent time undercover exploring the manosphere and the people behind it.

You are fucking shitting me. Jenner? The over privileged white male born millionaire? Helping us to understand diversity and discrimination? Fucking ridiculous!

My first deletion.
Mods cant delete the web page where Caitlyn talks about Caitlyn's behaviour, in an after dinner speech.

When your daughters are so freaked out about what is happening with their clothing they set up a web cam to catch you, its not 'cute'.

Had a quick google and seems to be true.

It's an absolute insult to the many diverse people of this country to select Caitlyn to speak.

And it will be interesting to see what the following 'Gender' season offers!

Since when did saying things, that a celebrity has put out there themselves, warrant deletion @MNHQ?

UpstartCrow · 04/05/2018 14:26

Thank you @Truscum Flowers

LizzieSiddal · 04/05/2018 14:28

An American rich, white, privileged man who became a transwomen.

Wtf will they know about diversity in the UK?

sanluca · 04/05/2018 14:31

I don't know, the words 'conspiracy theory' keeps popping up in mind....
