Yep. No women here....

AnchorMum · 19/10/2018 13:42

Jeezus H

AbsintheFriends · 19/10/2018 13:42

FAKE STATS KLAXON

'Questioning whether trans people can even exist'

False analogy with race

False analogy with being gay

Do they have anything relevant and honest to say??

Ekphrasis · 19/10/2018 13:42

Gay fear that is.

No Paris these are not the same

Debbie was absolutely bl**dy fantastic!!!

MsJeminaPuddleduck · 19/10/2018 13:44

Interesting opener from Paris rowing herself back from the debate. Clearly Paris's chief concern is Paris ..

AbsintheFriends · 19/10/2018 13:44

Oh the IRONY!!

"cisgender people setting the conversation" - there are no women in this item!

"Like a white person talking about what it's like to be black" - or maybe like a man talking about what it's like to be a woman?

AnchorMum · 19/10/2018 13:44

It's almost as if actual women's rights and views do not matter.

IsTheRainEverComingBack · 19/10/2018 13:44

There isn’t one biological women involved in this conversation? This can’t be right?

Ekphrasis · 19/10/2018 13:45

Yes she was.

Fucking identity feelz.

Paris, that's fine, you've been doing this for ages and don't have a grc but women have the right to have women's only spaces.

Just about got a full house on my bingo card.

MsJeminaPuddleduck · 19/10/2018 13:46

Idiot man - you were 'recognised' not 'assigned' male from birth. I don't even know who you are, can't even see you and I can clearly 'recognise' you as male. Feckin nutters

R0wantrees · 19/10/2018 13:46

That was extraordinary.

I do hope someone can transcribe it.

Journalists need a briefing paper to deal with onslaughts like that.

Ekphrasis · 19/10/2018 13:46

Yep.

Full bingo.

And totally ignored what Debbie had said about respecting women.

Zero respect given.

Me too!

Lottapianos · 19/10/2018 13:47

'I have literally never heard PL talk about anything else.'

Same here. So bloody disingenuous

Debbie was great but why on earth was she not invited into the studio? The studio debate was the usual ridiculous nonsense - gay card, race card, self harm, fear, assigned at birth, cis-this, cis-that. And absolutely no challenge whatsoever from the presenter. I'm so frustrated but so unsurprised

Ekphrasis · 19/10/2018 13:47

The non binary person would have peaked a few - or puzzled many

OP posts:
MsMcWoodle · 19/10/2018 13:49

4 fucking men. Sorry Debbie - you are great but still - NO WOMEN.

vaginafetishist · 19/10/2018 13:49

What about that giggling presenter? Clueless. Not happy about Debbie being the gc voice, it compounds the whole idea that men will decide what is reasonable.

MrsSnippyPants · 19/10/2018 13:50

Are there no actual journalists at the BBC? Are there just people identifying as Journalists?
I only ask because they never seem to have done any research prior to these discussions, otherwise they would pull people up up when they spout blatant lies!

FlowersAndHerts · 19/10/2018 13:50

I think that was designed to lead to peak trans, really. I'm so angry, I want to march on the bbc!

AbsintheFriends · 19/10/2018 13:51

I think PL's default stance of snippy and superior doesn't do them any favours when trying to win over people who have no knowledge of this debate.

Especially those people who might have seen PL on Celebrity Island Grin

adulthumanandtired · 19/10/2018 13:51

Note how they have all implemented the advice from the “we’re still here” conference and sound ever so reasonable on radio and tv.
We see you.

placemats · 19/10/2018 13:51

The usual lies peddled regarding suicide and Gay fear, and shamefacedly white women refusing to use the same toilets as black women or 'people of colour' as they, the non binary male put it (I wonder what toilet they use). Paris Lees seems obsessed with toilets and doesn't seem to have an understanding of boundaries.

They also get depressed if misgendered, not even a distinction between mistaken or deliberate - you couldn't make this up.

They and Lees ignored the transsexual in the room. Debbie Hayton was brilliant.
