Sharron Davies on Scotland Tonight

[CaveMum]

She nailed every point and politely, but firmly, handed the interviewer her “TWAW/Be Kind” arse to her.

Honestly, if J K Rowling is Queen, this woman is the heir to the throne!

Wow. She improves with every interview. Brava!

Ooh isn't Sharron good? I hadn't seen her speak for a while and she's become so much more incisive and clear. I can't think that interviewer really believes that utterly predictable rubbish she's spouting.

Yes. She speaks so well. Thank you Sharron. So controlled in the face of such obviously crazy statements from the interviewer. It really is Brass Eye tv though.

Wow she’s awesome and unwielding - I love the way she stared down the interviewer when posed with the stupid empathy question.

Fabulous Sharron Davies. 😀

Because #bekind has been weaponised for so long against women, it’s refreshing when women refuse to be abused by it anymore.

👏🏼

Thank you Sharron.

Fantastic interview. Made every point.

What are the viewing figures for Scotland Tonight? Will many in Scotland have seen this?

That was bloody brilliant

What a stupid line of interviewing, yeah, shouldn't female athletes just be kind and understanding and let any male in to steal their spaces and win their medals because Michael Phelps

Sharron swept the floor with her!

Sharron is brilliant on Twitter too - she just takes absolutely no shit.

She was really good.

I don't know how she manages to keep her cool! I would end up saying lots that would be deemed highly offensive to sensitive reality-deniers

That is an excellent interview. Every TRA argument comprehensively demolished.

This morning a TRA/MRA has gone after Sharron commenting on her appearance and calling her masculine. She has responded with absolute class.

Paula Radcliffe was also on BBC Radio 5 Live this morning up against Joanna Harper.

Sharron - clear, concise, factual.

Interviewer - be kind.

Yet again, piss poor journalism. I get it’s not Horizon / Panorama/ QT type program but please… the lack of research or intended obvious bias shows in the type of questioning.

I live in Scotland and have never seen or heard of this program so not sure how big viewing figures would be. Great thing to do, but even better if it's in the popular press, DM, Scottish Daily Mail etc.

She put that nasty little scrote back in his box, didn't she? Go Sharron!

Thank you for the Radio 5 link

Amazing woman. An expert who can use facts with grace and class and courage.

She's pure class and I thank her for fighting the fight.

Thank you Sharron 💐💚🤍💜

The R5 interview.

So JH argues that all the participants in their studies have T levels within natal female range. Which are below sport’s requirements.

Adult T levels nm/L: without endocrine disorders.
Male = 8.7 - 29
Female = 0.2 - 1.7

So many Qs re JH studies.
How large are the sample sizes? Statistically meaningful data?
Like for like comparisons ie male, female, athlete to athletes (same sports), age, pre child / post child comparisons?
Survivor bias of the participants?
How are the participants chosen?
Longitudinal- how long?
Age of transition of participants?
Types of transition?
Are the participants still competing or retired?

More over, the IOC has now washed its hands of the T issue and there are no T requirements for the athletes. Individual sports bodies have set arbitrary levels between 5 - 10 depending on which sport.

So, if we follow JH re natal T levels. Are all TW athletes within 0.2 - 1.7, or just the ones in their study?
What evidence did the IOC use to set previous levels at 10 then 5 - still way above natal women’s levels? Given the lack of data.
Why the emphasis on T?
Why can’t natal women dope up to 1.7 or 5 or 10 (excluding the horrific health issues - Flo Jo)?

& I’m afraid this does affect DSD athletes.

Find me a TM competing at elite level against natal men (I don’t count dressage / mixed teams etc…) & I’ll be more receptive to the TW in women’s sports argument.

Sharron is fabulous she made the interviewer look like a right dafty.

(Hope this reminds the broadcasters just how fab she is on screen- her pool-side interviews are always lovely)

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to that - Sharrons's articulate, clear and knowledgeable. Thanks for the links.
