Janice Turner to have a word with Alice Thomson?

[Freespeecher]

From Thommo's take on Genderquake in today's Times:

"Feminists debating on Woman's Hour or Mumsnet seem trans-fixed. When Germaine Greer suggests trans women can't join the girls' club, she sounds more like an intolerant, regressive UKIP member than the author of The Female Eunuch".

It was a weird mish-mash of an article that mixed up so many different issues and ended up equating the abolition of ‘girls’ and ‘boys’ toys with also no longer needing AWS ie denying that sex-based discrimination even exists. Utterly confused.

"The intensity of the debate around gender now feels seismic. I remember writing about it a few years ago when it hadn’t yet become a divisive issue. A family court judge mentioned that there were an increasing number of cases of teenagers wanting to transition against their parents’ wishes. At the time it seemed like a legal and medical conundrum.

When self styled journalists claim that it was not an issue of importance because they were not paying attention for the past 14 years they tell the world the are very bad at their job.

Some good comments though.

I wonder if Alice Thomson has read Gaby Hinsliff's article in today's Guardian?
I hope so & think it worth reading:
