Channel 4 appoints a new advisor on inclusion

Sue Pascoe, who 4 years ago was Graham, and who said "that while a man, he was the embodiment of the all-action, red-bloodied alpha male."
Of course, by 2015, this evolved to "'It's funny, I'm 55, I am very hormonal, I am going through puberty again which means that I am just getting to my teenage girl years - so watch out world."

Perhaps those teenage girl years have been outgrown now that Pascoe is 58. Here's hoping.

I'm not convinced this will result in a better proportion of those of us who are female being represented though.

Wouldn't it be nice if some of the recent 'inclusivity' appointments actually included women? By which I mean, the old fashioned ACTUALLY underrepresented, female type human.

Agree, what they mean is Sue is a transwoman. Trans past makes it sound as though Sue was trans in the past but now isn't ie a woman who identified as male for a while then retransitioned back.

It's quite sad because where as i used to see inclusion as a positive thing I now see the word and just think there will be fewer women and working class people and more bepenised men in dresses.

Weird how they never thought of appointing women into these roles.

Isn't it interesting how white men always seem to get the diversity gig?

BoreOfWhabylon · 09/08/2018 13:39

India Willoughby also went on about going through puberty again and being a teenage girl. Urgh.

In my teenage girl years I was "fat ugly & specky" going by what was often shouted at me by randoms - strangely enough I'm willing to bet this is not the kind of teenage girl years that one had in mind....
