Hopefully Nick Robinson will interview her, he was very good interviewing Paris Lees last year.

Framing it as Martina apologising for saying it’s cheating without mentioning the rest.

McKinnon’s segment from November on. “No one is born a man. It would be hard to give birth to a man”

Helmetbymidnight · 05/03/2019 07:38

is reduced testosterone satisfactory?

yeah Hmm

Destinysdaughter · 05/03/2019 07:38

Why the emphasis on testosterone? It’s about so much more than that?

Helmetbymidnight · 05/03/2019 07:38

very cautious way of speaking, poor thing

I hope she understands what she's letting herself in for. TRAs will be out in force.

Destinysdaughter · 05/03/2019 07:39

“The facts she talks about are not facts” Haha

Helmetbymidnight · 05/03/2019 07:39

Such a polite, succinct take down of McK!

Destinysdaughter · 05/03/2019 07:40

This interviewer is so biased! What happened to so called BBC neutrality?

Helmetbymidnight · 05/03/2019 07:40

paula is too nice...

TheBitterBoy · 05/03/2019 07:42

You could tell how nervous she was, very much trying to use polite language 'correct ' teminnology. But we'll done for saying testosterone isn't the whole story.

GassyAss · 05/03/2019 07:42

RM does not get challenged in the way Paula did. No wonder she sounded so nervous. Kudos for sticking her head above the parapet though.

It’s like the huge elephant in the room

No one can just say they are guys that’s why they can’t take part in women’s sport

You can almost hear it but not allowed to say it
