Please email Woman's Hour today!

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

Done. Not sure if I dare listen. I usually end up throwing something at the radio when I listen to Woman’s Hour. The pathetic non women related topics they cover infuriate me (e.g. marmalade making, which I heard once - that should have been on a cooking programme) and their ‘fun feminist’ stance irritates the hell out of me (anything a woman does is feminist! Hooray!).

Done too.

Done.

Done

Sent to the email address: autoreply, but mentions that if you have asked to be anonymous this will be respected.

Done.

Does anyone know what part of the programme it will be on?

Bump.
For all it’s infuriating, WH is the BBC’s flagship women’s programme and carries more clout than it deserves. Tell them what you think.

Jenni Murray is supportive and ran a feature on why you can't be a woman if you don't have a womb.

Jane Garvey is also a feisty not-to-be-mesed-with woman. I have high hopes for this.

Done. I asked to be anonymous, which was the main thrust of my email: why are women unable to talk openly about how a change in the law might affect us?

I can't listen live which is probably just as well but I'll catch up later.

Done. Forgot about remaining anonymous.
Was concise and to the point. Got the auto reply.
I really hope it's not all the inclusive 'stunning and brave' rhetoric 🤔

Done, feel better for getting that off my chest.

Done. So upsetting to try to persuade people not to ignore children's safety and mental health.

I have emailed and asked to remain anonymous. I’ve also written a (second) letter to my MP letting her know about the meeting in the HoC and I’ve nearly finished the consultation. I am beyond furious now!!!

Just sent a further email with additional concerns. There’s so much to say...

I've emailed saying that not being able to discuss things and lack of knowledge means that only the most spun, emotive voices are heard. Think of farage and Brexit. We need rational facts to make such an important decision.

Done. I don't know if it will do any good, the BBC seems to have picked it's side.

I remember listening to More Or Less a few months ago - the programme on the BBC where they look behind popular statistics and get to the truth of the maths behind it.

They were talking about trans suicide rates and the normally stringent research was just about what a trans awareness group said they were, then extrapolated to cover the whole population

We’re on @BBCWomansHour this morning at 10am discussing the impact of GRA changes on women.

Given the latest BBC bs about non binary pronouns I have little faith in them covering this in a fair way.

I have nonetheless emailed WH of course. I won't give up!

Good news about FPFW!

Done. Also done a second email to my MP re the meeting at HoC today as he's not even replied...
Not giving up!

I have a sinking feeling about today's topic. I'm predicting lots of soft voices, vague, open questions and a total whitewash of the subject.
I really hope I'm wrong.

I can't bear to listen! Can some braver soul give us a rundown please?!

Tragedy - I'm pretty sure you're right. But you know, they know - the bbc have clearly been given a line here. They've never been the best judges of safeguarding measures for women and children. Jimmy Saville.
