I do worry that if we leave all the political parties they'll all be ran by awful TRA influenced men

I worry about that as well. It's all very well pp stating that they are leaving Labour and never vote for them again but isn't that handing the victory over?

Just wanted to say how good Selina was. She should do media training on the side. We'll done that woman!

I can't imagine how Selina stayed so majestically calm

She was majestic, wasn't she?

I think that kind of demeanour becomes easier to maintain as we move away from the 'here we have a transphobe with morally repugnant views and three stunning and brave sadface ladies. You have 20 seconds to defend your indefensible transphobia, transphobe woman!' starting point.

These issues are not going away. Women are not shutting up and handing over their rights. The persistence and determination of incredibly courageous women means conversations are now having to take place, and be conducted more fairly because the public are listening and waking up to what's happening.

We have science and logic behind us, so once the scold's bridle is removed, brilliant academics like Selina Todd can make mincemeat of twerps like the Angry Beardy Man.

Yes I thought it was an interesting piece of research charlieparley.

What an odious, self-important twit he is.

Then the ground is completely clear for the sane left to organise and provide a real alternative. Bring on the real alternative, the time is long overdue.

And if those parties are run by people who are sane, with sane policies, in touch with the electorate who are screaming to be heard and not run like a glove puppet by Stonewall's hand up their bum, they'll walk it at the ballot box.

Hi FreakOutFarOut and thanks for delurking and joining in!

This dude was so outrageous, I totally understand why that gave you that last nudge onto FWR. He was a gift to our side, he really was.

One of my thank you cards is in the post first thing tomorrow! Anyone care to join me?

The discussion is on youtube but as audio only:

Just caught up with it -Selina was so good. Calm, clear - and incredibly dignified.

Labour beard bloke - not so good.

Excellent idea Buzz she was fantastic

I can’t believe he’s an MP

Selina was very calm

Hate it when people keep interrupting

Selina was indeed magnificent. Queen!

Beardy is my MP too. Met him a few times. He is incontinent in his views and how he expresses himself. I emailed him after the GE and asked him to calm down and be an adult. Haven't heard back...

Was mortifying watching him today. He would be the Witchfinder General in days of yore.

Have you not? Can’t think why

He reminds me of jeffrey jones from ferris buellers day off

Sympathies, Wakaranaihito. He seems like a real peach. Incoherent, yet righteously seething.

He would be the Witchfinder General in days of yore.

Gawd the trials would take months. He'd never be able to shut up long enough for anyone else to speak.

The Witchfinder General. Yes - that's him. Spot on.

I wanted to shout - XXY is Kleinfelter syndrome and the people who have it are still men! Men with a difference in sexual development, but still men!
People like Mr Beardy need to stop using other people's genetic differences to push through their dodgy agendas.

Thank you card sent

Two comments on the Twitter feed to Beardy Twit from people with DSDs upset and angry, who were also screaming at the tv. Telling people with Kleinfelter syndrome they're not men.... weaponizing it to justify undisputed biological males forcing their way into women's spaces against women's will. Nasty. Really nasty.

YY men with klinefelters syndrome are often able to father children with assistance (they produce sperm but in low amounts, so IVF type procedures can help). Hardly sex ambiguity.
