I know it's been much-discussed here for a while but hey, he got there in the end.

Another good article - and interesting to see the comments below. I normally ignore them as they're full of "well this is what feminists / the left wanted" and all kinds of sexist crap. But interestingly a lot if the comments not only get the issue, but some of them suggest that people have been reading / listening to what is happening ( and some of them are vile ....)

Good article but those comments, wow. I don't think you're allowed to swear in The Spectator comments section but you can say pretty much anything else.

Clear & succinct article. Thank you.

"It boils down to this: is Jessica Yaniv a woman? Really? I say no, he isn’t. He’s a man. And therefore he has no right to access services or spaces that are reserved for women."

Well. Brendan isn't sitting on the fence, is he?

I don’t think Brendan O’Neill ever sits on the fence to be fair!

"It boils down to this: is Jessica Yaniv a woman? Really? I say no, he isn’t. He’s a man. And therefore he has no right to access services or spaces that are reserved for women."

This is good and bad for me.

Good that it's reaching a wider audience and being called out.

Bad because the mantra being pushed is TWAW, acceptance without exception. I don't want to give any quarter to the proponents of self ID to wiggle out of this one.

JY should not access services or spaces reserved for woman because JY is a transwoman; a subset of men.

It's great that the Spectator have picked this up. The case is mad.It shows the nonsense and damage of self ID and that it will be used by predators.

I agree.

There is no benefit to women and girls to define when a man becomes a TW if TWAW.

Can you only read comments if you subscribe? I can’t seem to get past that transparent overlay when I click “show comments”.

“The Twitterati hasn’t stirred.”

Have you not noticed, Brendan, that women and feminists (in particular) get banned from Twitter for the slightest twitch on this subject?

I think he interviewed Meghan Murphy on his podcast recently.

Freespeecher · 24/07/2019 12:26

He did, and it was a good interview. Gave her time to expand on her points.
