Longtime lurker here, just raising my head above the parapet to draw your attention to the fact that Caitlyn Jenner is going to be on The Last Leg on Friday.
Get your #IsitOK tweets ready....

Does anyone know why? Presumably Jenner is promoting something?

It'll be an opportunity to demonstrate C4s wokeness presumably.

standingforwomen · 13/08/2018 22:35

Oh.

Awful.

#IsItOK that 60 year old women get battered to the floor for discussing women’s rights?

#IsItOK that a person with a penis sexually assaulted 4 women in a female only prison?

#IsItOK that women are thrown out of rape crisis centres because they can’t cope with sharing a bedroom with a person who retains a penis?

As CJ was a sportsman:

Is it OK for Laurel Hubbard to compete against women in weightlifting?

GreenGloves · 14/08/2018 09:11

The Last Leg is so right-on I doubt there'll be much questioning going on, apart from maybe "on a scale of 1-10, how brave and stunning do you think you are Caitlin?"

LizzieSiddal · 14/08/2018 09:21

This will be a very interesting watch. Especially if Jenner does their usual “Im so interesting, I’ll just turn everything into me, me, me”.

The host (sorry forgotten his name) doesn’t usually put up with such bullshit.

TimeLady · 14/08/2018 09:34

Caitlin Jenner was the one that peak transed me, long before I heard the term peak trans.

Considering that The Last Leg started out as a programme discussing the paralympics, maybe womens sports is the right angle for any #IsItOK tweets.

Good idea, cordeliaflynne.

paintedwingsandgiantrings · 14/08/2018 14:08

Is it OK that over 80% of male transwomen keep their penises but we're being asked to pretend they're women?

Is it OK that trans activists get loads of TV time but the alternative point of view is rarely shown

Is it OK that the government is about to change the definition of woman to mean anyone who wants to call themselves a woman for any reason

paintedwingsandgiantrings · 14/08/2018 14:15

Is it OK for women to have to compete against male bodied transwomen in contact sports?

I'd always hoped that the LL would come out as gender critical as it often does the right thing around freedom of speech. I don't reckon so moving forwards. The most we could hope is that CJ is asked questions that expose the whole woman is a feeling crap.

ZuttZeVootEeVro · 14/08/2018 15:15

Last Leg are more likely to criticise CJ for being right wing than for any misogyny they may demonstrate.

TransplantsArePlants · 14/08/2018 15:18

I've seen it being filmed. Yes; they are nice guys but they aren't going to want to rock any boats with feminist stuff or be seen to be disrespectful to their guest.

TransplantsArePlants · 14/08/2018 15:18

Zuut

Yes. The woke will win

OlennasWimple · 14/08/2018 15:19

The LL isn't "right on" Confused It's whole USP is saying stuff that "right on" people wouldn't dare say on TV, particularly around disability but increasingly beyond that.

I think Adam Hill might well be GC. He's certainly more aware of misogyny than many other TV presenters twitter.com/adamhillscomedy/status/1028211723302563840

FourFriedChickensDryWhiteToast · 14/08/2018 15:20

they are nice enough guys, and it is good to see people with disabilities fronting up shows, but it's all a bit boysie isn't it?

And what's the joke about ..one guy with a prosthetic leg, one guy with tiny hands and possibly a prosthesis (not sure), and a GINGER?

is it just me or is it not that funny?

Rosemary46 · 14/08/2018 15:20

I’m sure Caitlyn will be brave and stunning as always

Ofew · 14/08/2018 15:21

Ha, my DP and I were discussing last week just how male the LL is - they didn't have any female guests in last week's show. We agreed the LL guys are funny and it's great that they have a primetime show as disabled people, but we couldn't bring ourselves to watch a show where they hadn't got even one woman on.

I wonder how many women will be on with CJ this week?

MipMipMip · 14/08/2018 15:28

I lost respect for The Last Leg after Brexit. Before it was very much "vote for what you think is right, we don't tell you how to vote, there's good and bad on both sides". After it was "are you fucking idiots? You've doomed this country you racists."

They just lost the ability to be impartial, it was awful. I don't expect them to do anything but fawn.

MrWriter · 15/08/2018 15:36

I really like the last leg, although I do see the point about Brexit and it makes me cringe.

However if they are all fawning over how amazing, stunning and brave Caitlyn is, I'' be really disappointed.

MipMipMip · 15/08/2018 16:17

Hope someone does a review thread so I can decide if my blood pressure will be ok if I watch on +1!
