ITV Good Morning

[GrimSisters]

Never thought I'd be cheering for Piers Morgan. Who is this dreadful woke bro professor Ellis Cashmore?

Is it wrong that when I first saw him I assumed he was a transgender man?

He's a fame hungry misogynist who's learned that by saying men can have babies it gains him media attention.

On Piers Morgan, I am reminded of Churchill's remarks on forming an alliance with Stalin. You get your allies where you can.

Fuckwit crazy Cashmore given plenty of rope and autoerotic asphixiating himself.

Sharron was calm and clear and brilliant.

Can't believe I was cheering for India too! It was a great debate this morning and that proffe sounded mental

Just started a thread on this too. PM was bullish but made sense. India Willoughby was very measured and against allowing transgender women to compete too. Only the creepy Prof was for.

Ellis Cashmore is a misogynistic sociology professor who thinks he knows more about sport, training, elite performance and exercise physiology than Olympic medalist Sharron Davies. For clarity, he doesn’t.

Never heard of this one before but he does appear to be an arrogant plum.

It's very interesting to see a TRA like India "I am a real woman and I'll say it again so it really penetrates" Willoughby coming out saying she's against something like this, when a few months ago she would have been saying the exact opposite.

Gender ideology attracts some serious misogynists.

To be fair India isn't actually a TRA, she's always had her own opinions on stuff, sometimes it matches the TRA line, sometimes it doesn't.

To be fair to India, they've always towed their own line. That's why they aren't hugely popular with other TRAs

Placemarking while look for a clip.

Snap captain

children I thought that too!

Just watched on plus one.
Cashmore is well named. This is the 'height' of his career.

When he said "Be silent" to Piers, with a calculated chuckle afterwards, it gave me the creeps.

I want to know what Louis Theroux thinks - Piers asked him as they went to break!

Oh yes what does Louis Theroux say? Please tell!

India Willoughby came over very well. Cashmore has built his mediocre career on writing about 'marginalised groups ' in sport.
You can just see how his hectoring approach must used in lectures with students. "Silence. I am speaking. No other views allowed "

Did Louis give his view in the end?

I would like to know Louis Theroux's view on this too

There's a bit here about it

Cashmore comes across very poorly.

To be fair to India, they've always towed their own line. That's why they aren't hugely popular with other TRAs

Yep, India is rather unpopular with the TRAs right now! India does India and fair play for that at least.

"I quite like being silent when guests are hanging themselves like that" said PM

Well quite!

My goodness India must see where the weight of public opinion and common sense is here and has jumped on board the T#@F Train in this regard.

That professor was hilariously idiotic - wonder if they couldn't get anyone else to be on that side? When they get those sporting TW in with their deep voices and unaltered physiques, the job is done visually before they have even started debating.

I didn't hang around to watch after the break so not sure if Louis gave his view.
Maybe we should ask them on Twitter?
I couldn't watch the Louis transgender kids programme. I couldn't get past the little boy performing Poker Face whose parents told him he was a girl.
Guessing this peaked Louis?

Why do they keep inviting sociologists and philosophers to rant on about these subjects? They simply make stuff up, unlike scientists.
