I did a search and couldn’t find a thread but apologies if it’s already been discussed. I just listened to the episode and was really taken aback by the discussion about JKR’s original statement as Pandora Sykes says that Rowling ‘conflates sex and gender’ in her statement. I’ve never heard that take on what she said before and I cannot understand why PS might have got to that.
They recommend listening to trans voices, particularly Bergdorf and Dawson. They go on to discuss the Seahorse documentary but only in relation to the pregnancy/birth aspect of it, which was again quite disturbing because it distilled the idea of the film into ‘person gives birth’ rather than discuss the dysphoria involved.
I’m not an habitual listener, I actually wanted to hear what they had to say about ‘I May Destroy You’.
I feel quite depressed that two young women with such voices in the media have these views.
