Are you watching Womanhood?

[EachandEveryone]

Its just starting on bbc2 I know they are celebs but its interesting how the ypung women are opening up to them. Really sad tbh.

Bbc2

I'm watching.

I'm recording and will watch over the weekend.

I’ve seen a tweet from Jacqueline Gold (one of the celebrities on the show) which includes trans rights as one of the topics.

Fingers crossed the issue is covered properly as the programme will have a lot of reach.

What is a woman now.

Oh and now race = trans...

Watching now

So disappointing

Aah how lovely..Sinita thinks we need to make trans women feel comfortable in changing rooms.

The problem is that women don't really know trans women. If we just met some then we'd be more understanding.

Hmm. Well I've met some and I haven't changed my mind. In fact it just confirmed that AGP is very real.

God this is shit.

If only we were all just a bit kinder (to men. And a bit less kind to everyone who has a problem with men using single sex spaces) it would all be fixed!

Just no.

The woman in the changing rooms arguing that trans women shouldn’t be able to use the women’s changing rooms is mad. She has created this bogey man that imho doesn’t exist.

A man with a beard ‘could’ come in to a female changing room claiming to identify as a woman, but crazy people exist all over the world, if they wanted to attack you they would. 99.999% of trans women just want to peacefully get changed in a room in which they sincerely identify, we shouldn’t be persecuting them because of one or two bad eggs

Yes. Shouting at the TV. So disappointing. Talk about deliberately missing the point. Oh well.

Same old bollocks really, let's be kind to the poor men. They can all fuck off.

Is this misogynists join MN Friday or something?

So trans women need love and compassion. And letting in to women's facilities penis and all.

Segue to a section on violence against women. Without a blush. Without a single connection between male violence and men-as-women in women's loos.

It's like feminism 101. But no mention of patriarchy, social inequality, power, economy. Desperate stuff. And Sinitta all open eyed and aghast at young women who have cosmetic surgery for looks alone ... Sinitta! Bloody hypocrite.

Suddenly the women know they don't feel safe. Is it women making them not feel safe?

Yet if a man came into their space they would welcome him in to make him feel comfortable.

Well, that was terrible.

They really haven’t joined the dots have they. Disappointing.

Dr Jessica Taylor's section had me in tears though - close to the bone.

So disappointing at the end

I like Shirely

Damn! I’m recording it and was optimistic, but I’m not happy about what I’m reading here. How depressing!
