R4 PM to discuss transpeople in sport before 6

[MrsBodger]

Just announced at top of programme.

What pisses me off most is that interviewees get paid to be on the radio

It depends what they are doing the interview for.

It’s true! DH was on the radiobox (R4) and for paid for his wise words.

The testosterone range argument was the sort of thing that led Winston Churchill to say of a politician, "He uses statistics the way a drunk uses lamp-posts, for support rather than illumination...'

It's not the range, it's the distribution.

Sarah explains all the physical advantages of being male. Also safety concerns of contact sport.

I'm going to write to the BBC to insist that they cite the "Why you don't need to know what you're talking about " doctorate every time they introduce Rachel.
Also referring to Rachel as a world champion - wasn't the age range 35-40 something, ie veterans or something along those lines. And someone on a previous thread pointed out there were only 7 in the competition. It wasn't a world championship.
Can someone confirm what that competition was?

This woman is great! Saying all the things I was shouting at the radio while McKinnon was on. Very clear!

Physical sex doesn’t affect ability - yes, why isn’t the cyclist in the male races hmmmmm.

Evan you tit. He’s off my Christmas card list. He wouldn’t have ever spoken to the cyclist like that.

You mean natal athlete
I MEAN FEMALE!
😂

'you just dont like trans?'

cmon. wtf.

I'm wondering if the reason they were not on together was because McKinnon wouldn' debate again?

Well held Sarah!

he challenged sarah far more than he did rachel.

OMFG brilliant!

Well she handed it back to him and didn’t let him get away with that!

Didn’t ask the cyclist why they didn’t like women (who disagree) though, did he?

he challenged sarah far more than he did rachel.

Yep, and look what happened

FibbyMcFibface

Go Sarah!

Shame they never push Rachel that hard - they always sound like they don't know what they are talking about.

Is there a link to listen again?

If Rachel isn't a male, then how can she be trans......

Loved the rejection even of “natal” female by Sarah

He challenged Sarah more, but that gave her a chance to put her case really well, and reply to McKinnons rubbish

Didn’t ask the cyclist why they didn’t like women (who disagree) though, did he?

Now isn't that a question!

Evan should have made Rachel answer his question squarely - why do we have separate men's and womens sport? She side stepped it.

He interrupted Sarah frequently, but not Rachel.
Typical.
