You are a legend! Just wanted to say Happy New Year to you if you're on here.

(Apologies if there's already a thread? Had a look but couldn't see one. Will delete this one if I've missed it.)

Seconding that. Brilliant explanation and one that is hard to ignore, though JM tried, he did also say you were bang on before trying to deflect. You are bang on.

bordermidgebite · 01/01/2022 10:17

Oh go on... what happened?

beastlyslumber · 01/01/2022 10:29

Ooh sorry. Didn't give the link! Hopefully this works - twitter.com/talkRADIO/status/1476928399520280578

sent flowers Flowers to Ulrike on the thread discussing Kellie's interchange with JM. Ulrike if you are here, you were excellent in making your points and in keeping going. JM wasn't listening, simply batting back points from his notes, so it was a tough call, but you stood your ground so well. The point he made about "everyone under 35 disagreeing" was ridiculous and zero mention of the silencing campaign that has been conducted for the last 5 years. Further, he says he disagrees with JKR but couldn't cite what he disagreed with. Really well done.

Well done, Ulrike!

beastlyslumber · 01/01/2022 10:41

Apologies for spelling your name wrong Ulrike!

You were amazing. Cool, calm, collected, very fair and reasonable. I loved how you just kept making your point and didn't let JM derail you. You were fab and I hope you're having a great day Flowers

Ulrika - if you are on Mumsnet (bet you are!) we bow to you.

That was awesome.

FemaleAndLearning · 01/01/2022 10:44

We are with you! Talking commonsense. Brilliant woman.

TheWeeDonkey · 01/01/2022 10:48

"Everyone under 35" really? All the under 35s I know understand biology and its effects. Most are kind and respectful of individual circumstances, but that doesn't stop them being able to recognise the difference between sex and gender identity.

Bloody well said Ulrike Flowers

DontAskIDontKnow · 01/01/2022 10:50

That was fantastic. Ulrike managed to properly explain the problem with changing the definition of woman despite whatshisface trying to interrupt and tell he she’s wrong. It may be that he will never actually get it, but someone else will.

RobinWoodPrinceofLeaves · 01/01/2022 10:52

Thanks for the link , she was great. That guy was obviously not listening to her very valid argument. So dismissive.

Helleofabore · 01/01/2022 10:52

FlowersCakeBrewGin you are awesome Ulrike!!!

Legoninjago1 · 01/01/2022 10:54

Good lass!

This is a brilliant response on Twitter.

Eyesofdisarray · 01/01/2022 10:55

Really annoyed with JM telling Ulrike the definition of woman was her definition!!
And such interruption from JM - mansplaining like crazy.
Who is this guy?

deleteasappropriate · 01/01/2022 10:56

The emergence of another Shero! Well done Ulrike!

I thought that too. Saying 'your definition' is the heart of the problem. She held her ground brilliantly though and didn't lose her ground despite his constant attempts to interrupt.
Flippanty · 01/01/2022 11:02

Very well done Ulrike! JM admitted he has no idea what he’s talking about and that it must be very frustrating for women when men with no skin in the game get involved Hmm. You got your points across really well! And I know a lot of GC women under the age of 35, myself included.

Eyesofdisarray · 01/01/2022 11:02

As for telling Ulrike 'it's complicated' !!! Er no James; it really really isn't 🙄

crumpet · 01/01/2022 11:03

Very well done Ulrike.

Heruka · 01/01/2022 11:17

That was fantastic, well done. At least he was upfront in basically saying ‘I am a man and this doesn’t affect me so I don’t give a shot’ Hmm

doublemonkey · 01/01/2022 11:21

Excellent! Just what I needed to hear this morning.

Thank you Ulrike! 💐

UlrikeinYork · 01/01/2022 11:26

Thank you all so much for your feedback, it means the world to me!
Amazingly I’ve had next to no abuse even on twitter (well India Willoughby’s not happy) - I really think we’re turning a corner!
