Did R4 just not interview a single biological woman in their GRA sections this morning?

I've been school running so would be grateful if someone could clarify but from what I did hear there were no representatives at all of the very large group 'born female' interviewed today on this subject on the Today Programme. When, in the last five minutes, it was acknowledged by a Transwoman that women's concerns have been shut down?! The irony. But please correct me if I'm wrong.

I think yr right-I heard a trans man who didn't acknowledge womens fears, and a transwoman who spoke well about how all politicians have been useless in this debate.

Nope, not a one.

That's not correct. As happydappy2 said, it was two transwomen (people born male) and one transman (a person born female). That was Lewis Hancox.

But there were no non-trans people interviewed.

Thanks for clarification- I couldn't be in for the full program today. Still though-no non trans people as if it doesn't affect anyone else Angry

I normally complain by phone as I like to have a rant. Normally I get through pretty quickly but today it’s taking ages...

Yes, there was one female interviewed. Lewis expected that there would be measures in place to stop predatory men going into women's prisons. So that's okay then.

One of the transwomen (Christine?) has spoken impressively before but I can't remember where. She 'passes' but nevertheless totally gets it.

Well got through. Nice person typed very fast and told me they were getting lots of complaints on this topic.

Was the the m2f and f2m on earlier? The m2f gets it but the f2m has the typical male egoism (all about them).
