This piece is from film taken at the Liverpool WPUK meeting last month.

BBC is hanging on by a thread in this household, however that thread is made of Doctor Who

Oh yeah... damn it. Oh well, sometimes we have to make sacrifices.

So I watched it on YouTube, some channel called ‘Donald’ has it! Oh my god that Ben dominated the entire conversation! Interrupted the women constantly. What a hideous man. Yuck. I really can’t stand him. No wonder Penis News is so vile.

from about 29 mins

Crikey that has put my blood pressure up so much I can feel it in my chest!!
And that was allegedly the women's side - will there be 3 opposing voices on the panel for the trans side?!!!

This is too little too late. Utterly confusing for people and using antisemitism and other prejudicial smears is beyond the pale as a comparison.

That was one of the most infuriating things I've seen in a while. FFS BBC. Well done the Telegraph lady. Fuck Ben Cohen, who so obviously hates women and thinks we are pathetic and shouldn't be listened to or informed about things.

I'm sure the trans side tomorrow will be just as "balanced".

I was at the filmed meeting - feel the reporter gave a false impression of being balanced... Is it really so hard for people to understand that changing the definition of woman has an impact on, well, women?

Evidently so.

Transactivists like Cohen (as PN is so involved I think that's a fair description even though he is an ally) appear to think it's a winning strategy to talk down to women and tell them they have already lost their rights. It isn't.

BBC = British Bullshit Corporation.

Well, after it gave me the rage I sent a message to some friends- about 10 other Mums- about the consultation. 4 have already replied to say they’ve filled in the form objecting to changes being made! So that’s at least 4 women who’ve just been peaked thanks to Prick News!

That’s brilliant

Watching it now and they are discussing Brexit first. Clearly the pink news editor isn’t accustomed to having to opine on non-PInk News issues, he looks like a small child trying to talk with adults.

Oh my god how and where do i complain about this?

Two men shouting down and talking over the woman in green, and THIS is the episode dedicated to the women's perspective?! FFS.
And the politician is clearly shitting herself and afraid to say anything.
Shame on you BBC. Shame on you men, and Shame on you BBC.

WTAF. Let women speak. I am so sick of these men talking over women. In general.

I've just complained, FFS the BBC is so utterly biased.
Have they learnt nothing from their Saville days. NO discussion on safeguarding, just two knobby men shouting at a woman that a small number of women being hurt is an ok price to pay so that men feel ok about themselves.

This Benjamin Cohen of Pink News?

"Benjamin Cohen, CEO of Pink News, announced on Twitter that he believes any transwomen who has visible facial hair – even those who are legally “female”- should be charged and prosecuted as sex offenders if they use female change rooms."

I've complained too, in a very prim and proper way. Don't feel prim and proper about it though! I identify as 'thoroughly pissed off about the whole thing' and demand that everyone accept me as such. My pronoun will be FOYT (a for whoever works it out first!).
