Gosh. Will be listening, love Eddie Mair and would like to think he will have the measure of Jane Fae but my hopes aren't high. JF is so awful and has such a bad record of talking over people.

Jane Fae, the BBCs go to trans orator, has ruined every so called debate so far and is very irritating. I hope others see that too.

Let's hear whether it's possible to do passive aggressive knitting and eye-rolling on the radio.

Eddie Mair made a dog's breakfast of introducing this piece. Clive Coleman is making a much better job.

Amy!

You did really well, Sweary! Jane Fae is such a pompous twit.

Cis is in double quotes! Lolol

They are sarcastic air quotes in my head

Oooh will listen again to this. Gosh it's progress!

Radio 4 talking about this at 0850 in 5 mins

It was about 8.40 if anyone wants to listen again.

Looks like Twitter doubling down on censorship

Ignore - that story is a fortnight old.
