Shelagh Fogarty. Stella O'Malley is one of the guests, sounds like a wide ranging discussion, starting with children.

Listening.

Think Stella has finished already.

Stella comes across very well in my opinion. Concentrating on the 'we really are running an experiment' argument.

Shelagh saying sex matters enormously in sport!

Impressed with Shelagh so far

thecompletenonsequitur · 15/08/2019 15:47

Tw and tm both sound like men. Slightly confused about who is speaking.

The only thing I would pull Shelagh up on is allowing her guests to keep saying 'sex assigned at birth' because this is completely untrue as we all know. It needs correcting whenever anyone says it.

Yes, Shelagh's read up on sports and puberty blockers.

Hardly any time for phone calls.

For those who arrive to this thread later, LBC programmes are always available on catch-up pretty quickly, and this discussion is taking place from 3pm onwards. I find the LBC app is the easiest way to listen again.

Oh surprise. Lucy's a tw.

Argh, someone please phone in and explain the change in the Olympic rules!

OP posts:
thecompletenonsequitur · 15/08/2019 16:02

So disappointed that that was the only phone call.

Nightowlreturns · 15/08/2019 18:11

Im really frustrated after listening to that! The TW at the end lying about the rules for the IOC having been in place for years when they were changed in 2015 so men no longer have to have had surgery to compete. Obviously this will have a huge impact as chancers will now take advantage when nobody would get surgery in order to compete! Aargh!

Shelagh was good, it’s just annoying there was no time for many calls. Probably set up that way. She was really nice to the guests so when she challenged them it didn’t seem unreasonable.

Nightowlreturns · 15/08/2019 18:13

It make sure me really angry when TRAs are allowed to spout absolute crap on media and are not challenged. And they know they’re doing it as well. And we are labelled bigots for not bending over backwards to accommodate them! I’ve seriously had it. 😡

Nightowlreturns · 15/08/2019 18:18

Excuse the typos, that’s just how mad I am!

OhHolyJesus · 15/08/2019 18:44

I called in and was queued up but they dropped me at 2 mins to go as they ran out of time.

They asked me how I identified. My response "I'm a woman" but I wish I had said I don't identify as anything I AM a woman. Hmm
