Women's Hour have finally opened discussion to the self-id gender 'debate' and will be discussing this tomorrow.

I know many have been so frustrated, angry, concerned etc by the failure.

The opportunity now exists to raise the issues which impact on women.

Hopefully many will respond

Got an autoresponse when using the "contact us" form.

Artesia · 15/10/2018 13:17

Done! Didn’t pull any punches!

SlightlyTired · 15/10/2018 13:29

Done. Thank you.

I. Have. Had. Enough.

Good article in the Spectator by James Kirkup two issues ago, by the way, which helped me more calmly articulate some of the issues. www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.spectator.co.uk/2018/10/trans-rights-have-gone-wrong/amp/

DarkDarkNight · 15/10/2018 13:33

Done.

TeenTimesTwo · 15/10/2018 13:37

Done.

Tragedy · 15/10/2018 13:58

Done. I really won't hold my breath though, I'm going to guess that they start from a TWAW point and go from there.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 15/10/2018 14:20

Done.

I fully expect it to be spun as unethically as the BBC do everything on this matter, but the evidence will be there that they spun it.

Thank you James Kirkup, will try and get Woman's Hour done later today.

HamiltonCork · 15/10/2018 14:32

Done

Although I'm not expecting much as imo the BBC is worse than the Guardian (which I refuse to click on as I don't want to encourage them).

ToeToToe · 15/10/2018 14:33

Done.

crossparsley · 15/10/2018 14:38

also stuck in blue dotty circle of hell. Could a legal expert go on? eg Lady Justice from twitter - someone to challenge the hand-waving 'will all be fine, case-by-case assessments' rubbish and that it won't stamp all over the EA. And safeguarding!

BillStickersIsInnocent · 15/10/2018 14:50

I had the blue circle for about an hour on the form option when trying to submit, then checked my emails and the receipt was from an hour ago! Not sure what’s going on but don’t give up

PerfectPenquins · 15/10/2018 14:53

Done, with screenshots, articles, research evidence the lot! They better do a balanced show tomorrow!

crossparsley · 15/10/2018 15:27

Yup billstickers , looks like I sent two contact comments and an email after all. Email was the best draft I think - now I am all exam-anxious!

Belonger · 15/10/2018 16:03

I've contacted them and asked for my comments to remain anonymous because of fear of trolling.

I would be very interested to know how many of the comments they get will say something similar, and whether they've ever had an issue which has generated more requests for anonymity.

Bowednotbroken · 15/10/2018 16:31

I've emailed too - and following the example of a pp I've asked to remain anonymous too. And explained exactly why.

AnchorMum · 15/10/2018 17:31

Just commented - a long one! I asked to remain anonymous and not be contacted and said the reason why.

I also used this address and had no problem sending it: [email protected]

I'm glad we've got the opportunity to get our views in but I do wish I'd had more time to respond. Had to sneakily do it while at work Blush

Miladymilord · 15/10/2018 19:25

I've emailed about women's sport. And another one to ask if people genuinely belive that we can change sex with the power of our mind.

HandsOffMyRights · 15/10/2018 20:25

Done - sent an adaptation of my MP email. Just a shame it's the same time that Dr Nic, Ruth and Stepanie are at Westminster.

qumquat · 15/10/2018 20:38

Done.

PartridgeInAFairTree · 15/10/2018 21:09

Done and I was concise for once!

To add to what others have said, email in even if you're currently disgusted with the BBC. The sure way to be ignored is to say and do nothing

heather1 · 15/10/2018 21:15

Done

DarkDarkNight · 15/10/2018 21:28

Oh shit, I didn’t ask to remain anonymous. Hopefully mine will be lost in amongst the outpouring of emails.

TigerDrankAllTheWaterInTheTap · 15/10/2018 21:50

Done. Remembered to ask to be anonymous. Can't listen live tomorrow so will have to catch up with the programme later!

rightreckoner · 15/10/2018 21:50

Done. No faith in the bbc now and I told them that but that they could always consider doing their job properly.
