Politics Live Monday 1230 EHRC Stonewall

[Mollyollydolly]

When I watch these discussions I feel depressed, even had trans threw the first brick at Stonewall. Anyway it's all sunlight.

Caroline Flint was good, think she's a t**f.

Everybody being a bit mealy mouthed but still there does seem to be a shift in position away from just saying any debate is transphobic and a grudging acceptance that maybe there is a conflict of rights.

This may not be perfect but I assume the Beeb is having to cover because the EHRC has said that women have the right to discuss the subject, it is not transphobic (never was but nice to have had it put in words by Baroness Falkner)

I thought the Conservative bloke was the best. I don’t get the impression that Matthew Parris is particularly on the side of women and feminists, but his points are completely valid.

The one peddling a load of fake statistics and hyperbolic whinging was insufferable. It was like watching a tantruming toddler.

Yes I thought that, talking about the miniscule percentage of the population that is trans and seemed to be saying how everything is geared towards their oppression. That was my take on their contribution. I think it was great that Matthew was there as an original founder of Stonewall. No perceived posturing from him. (Being careful with language!)
