Surely it would make sense to discuss the content of the conference before addressing the racial balance? It is important I agree, but the order here is odd.

I wonder if it's a deliberate decision to not focus on the content...

Protestors 'added to the jolity'.

Love the way they're talking about the protesters! 'They were really very sweet' Grin

This is the way to go. The TRA will HATE it. Grin

Lesbian visibility

Helen Joyce being effectively angry about the shutting down of debate.

It is very strange though to have a programme about women choosing to debate but gliding over what the debate was actually about. The presenter is far happier talking about 50 years old than what happened within the past few days.

AbsintheFriends · 07/02/2020 10:32

Well, I've never heard such honest, open discussion. This is really quite astonishing.

"Bad things that happen to women happen to lesbians first."

God, I love Sophie Scott. Robust defence of mn, and women speaking in general.
