Anyone listening? I'm in a situation where I can't turn it up, but he's interviewing a transwoman (with a very male voice, who insists they were born a girl) I didn't catch who it is, but it's a classic late stage transitioner, who married and was 'very sad' 🙄

I feel, in spite of the very sympathetic platform, a whole swathe of the nation is about to be peaked...

dear lord, ann is a twat, (so is jeremy)

so many stereotypes- the dresses, the pram, it means you're a lady.

Helmetbymidnight · 08/02/2019 13:18

ann thinks his family are pissed off with him because 'theyre embaressed'

MrsSnippyPants · 08/02/2019 13:19

Same as always, liked dresses and playing with proms, mum didn’t allow him to play with ‘girl’ things.
It’s all poor me, poor me.

MrsSnippyPants · 08/02/2019 13:20

Umbrella, spectrum blah blah blah

Helmetbymidnight · 08/02/2019 13:20

ann is sitting under an umbrella.

Zofloramummy · 08/02/2019 13:20

Plus the “I was an workaholic and now I’m getting divorced and losing all my money”

Helmetbymidnight · 08/02/2019 13:20

ann loves the umbrellas.

Wife and daughter have not been supportive. How unreasonable of them not to collude with a massive lie that affects their entire lives.

ann is particularity dislikable, poor ann.

littlbrowndog · 08/02/2019 13:23

Yes

littlbrowndog · 08/02/2019 13:23

Actually coming across very patronising is Ann

LizzieSiddal · 08/02/2019 13:25

I don’t even want to listen to another winning transwoman, blaming everyone else for their life.

I wonder if this is linked to the Handel 4 series next week which is all about transitioning.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 08/02/2019 13:27

Ah! I stated a thread too - wanted to listen and see if he got any more unreasonable. At the moment he is being all 'poor me' but hasn't blamed his wife or daughter other than being so very softly spoken and disappointed with them!

Patronising yes! But so far not making any demands of the world!

Oh... Nicky was never macho... fucking stereotypes!

Helmetbymidnight · 08/02/2019 13:27

here is another one- poor nikki was not macho (so nikki is a woman of course)

littlbrowndog · 08/02/2019 13:29

It really sounds like 3 guys chatting

CuriousaboutSamphire · 08/02/2019 13:29

How very dare you. Ann is being so very softly moth wing voiced!

MrsSnippyPants · 08/02/2019 13:29

Three men now talking. Where are the women?!

littlbrowndog · 08/02/2019 13:29

Stunning. Omg

WhatHaveYou · 08/02/2019 13:29

I hear lots of Poor me, dull talk and sexism.

Stunning and brave, under his eye!

OlennasWimple · 08/02/2019 13:30

What's that I can hear? Peak, peak, peak, peak all over the nation

Helmetbymidnight · 08/02/2019 13:30

jeremy wtf?

littlbrowndog · 08/02/2019 13:30

Ann seems to be lacking joy

WhatHaveYou · 08/02/2019 13:31

They don't sound positive or happy at all, they sound miserable and draining.

Hamster00 · 08/02/2019 13:31

I'm listening to this and I think I'm going to lose my lunch if I hear "born in the wrong body", "stunning, beautiful, brave" one more time....
