JHB on TalkRadio now; transgender women in sport

[MrsSnippyPants]

Just started

Sharron Davies on now

Was sounding good, started just as I had to come in to work so will listen on catch up later.

It is available to re-listen to now, I’m just turning it on.

ova have you got a link? I'm useless!

talkradio.co.uk/radio/listen-again/1551681000

It is the 8:30 segment and starts a few minutes in.

JBH“You’re either a woman or you’re not a woman. You can be a TW but you’re not a woman.”

Contributor “that’s not true... apart from for sport”

Another studio contributor “Blah blah blah cis”

JHB “NO, I won’t have that term!” 😂

Go Julia

I've got to hand it to JHB she always makes idiots of these people. She is definitely a woman who missed the memo about female socialisation.

Thank you for the link OVA, starts 5min40 into the 8:30 segment

Sharron Davies is superb- “safe & fair” and defending Martina

JHB is brilliant on this subject

She is definitely a woman who missed the memo about female socialisation

I totally disagree with her over Brexit, but I love the fact that she lets people who disagree with her make their points - unlike that nob, James O'Brien, who just cuts them off, then preens about how clever he is.

I can't keep up with the coverage today! Well done to Dr Nic and to every woman on the frontline or anonymously beavering away to get us to this point!

Sharron is very good at batting away the accusations of 'transphobia' - it quite simply is not transphobia, it is about fairness in sport.

Sowas jhb she said they are not women they are transwomen

Sharon was great. Mentioned danger to girls and women and unfairness for young girls losing out on scholarship

I can't keep up with the coverage today

Indeed.

They all seem to work together don't they.

I wonder why that is?

I think once people see that men are not women with respects to sports, there'll be a dawning realisation that women were not being mean transphobes when they spoke about refuges, vulnerable spaces etc.

I'm hopeful anyway.

How many shows has she been on today? Sharon is Olympian class at fighting for this cause.

I disagree with JHB about nearly everything but the way she says No should be taught to girls in schools.

Can't get past thinking "JHB" is a pencil.

She don’t take the shite that wokie beardie right on blokes try to peddle

And they hate being told no

Just listened to it - thank you for the link.

Sharon was great as was Julia. I don't agree with JHB on everything politically but I completely agree with her on this issue and I think she covers it really well. Even when I don't agree with her I enjoy listening to her, she doesn't feel the need to apologetic about her stance and I applaud that.

Sharon (and this isn't a criticism of her just an observation) had to do that whole 'obviously it must be terrible to suffer gender dysphoria etc etc... which women seem to need to do to talk about this issue to avoid unpleasant abuse - I don't blame her for doing that (I do it myself sometimes) but I wish it could go without saying that we are against discrimination/violence against/have sympathy for and we could just get to the issue of women's rights being trampled without the bloody caveats and apology.

As always I love JHB's attitude to the word 'cis'.

I do like JHB. She will not be browbeaten, but is still happy to debate with the other side, whatever the other side is.

obviously it must be terrible to suffer gender dysphoria etc etc

I suspect her empathy may soon wear thin in reaction to the online pile on.

Did anyone follow up on the idea that someone can be a woman except in sport??

Hats off again to JHB on this topic. I love that she just blasts away any suggestions that anyone can be the opposite sex. Not a single fuck given. She calls it out for the gaslighting nonsense it is and it’s wonderful to listen.

And Sharron is also great. She’s au fait with the anatomical facts and very diplomatic with it.

Fabulous!
