Bumping because I would enjoy listening to one of us pulling Jo's nonsense appart.

Newuser123123 · 09/12/2019 07:47

You can text your questions, I have sent a couple

PencilsInSpace · 09/12/2019 08:35

I can't get my text to send. Can someone ask her something like this:

On GRA reform and women's spaces - Jo says refuges can solve the problem by individual risk assessment. In that case, why not make them all mixed sex and individually risk assess the men in the same way as the women? Why does Jo think refuges are single sex in the first place?

donquixotedelamancha · 09/12/2019 08:42

Anyone got the text number?

donquixotedelamancha · 09/12/2019 08:43

Found it: 85058

XXcstatic · 09/12/2019 08:53

If you are on Twitter, BBC News U.K. is asking for questions for her.

SeaRabbit · 09/12/2019 08:56

Sent a few questions...

boatyardblues · 09/12/2019 08:59

Someone needs to ask a hard question about the exact number of women and children that are acceptable collateral damage annually to see self-ID implemented when Sarah Wollaston and Swinson herself have already acknowledged a small number of men could use the self-ID reforms in bad faith.

Ask her 'what about the vulnerability of trans men?' Why are they vulnerable?

NeurotrashWarrior · 09/12/2019 09:02

I heard her on radio 4 this morning and she basically conflated intersex with trans.

thecompletenonsequitur · 09/12/2019 09:35

What is a woman...

nauticant · 09/12/2019 09:36

"What is a woman?"

Jo Swinson immediately starts struggling.

"How can you tell what a woman is?"

More struggling.

NeurotrashWarrior · 09/12/2019 09:37

Oh oh oh caller!

Ask her what a trans man is? Should a trans man access gynaecological health care? See a midwife?

MockersFactCheckMN · 09/12/2019 09:37

....well, er, yeah, I mean, I'm a woman. And I, er, know that I'm a woman, and, er. Yeah. I mean, so does anyone.

BingBongSong · 09/12/2019 09:37

Ugh. I can feel my blood pressure rising.

NeurotrashWarrior · 09/12/2019 09:38

Please ask her about trans man rights!

NeurotrashWarrior · 09/12/2019 09:39

It's all just the feels.

MockersFactCheckMN · 09/12/2019 09:40

The Oozlum Bird of legendary repute, runs around in ever decreasing circles until it disappears up its own arsehole.

Long thought to be fictional or at the very least extinct, I think we have discovered the Oozlum Bird on 5Live this morning.

BingBongSong · 09/12/2019 09:40

Good on you, caller.

SarahTancredi · 09/12/2019 09:42

🤦‍♀️

housewifeoflittleitaly · 09/12/2019 09:42

Oh this is 😳

happydappy2 · 09/12/2019 09:43

Great caller, I’d love Jo to explain though, what makes a trans woman a woman....what exact thing turns that man into a woman.

NeurotrashWarrior · 09/12/2019 09:44

Oh great question about pe at school.... will it be GC?

Newuser123123 · 09/12/2019 09:44

😊

MockersFactCheckMN · 09/12/2019 09:44

Love the headscarf question. A headscarf is not gender-neutral. But let kids wear what they want for school uniform.

(Do we need to explain the concept of uniform ?)
