Just starting- first on...

ArabellaScott · 30/09/2022 12:05

Thanks, listening now

Oh JV said it was on first...

WinterTrees · 30/09/2022 12:17

Just heard this flagged - I think it'll be on after the 1pm news?

Astonished that JV is going there, tbh... Jane Fae is one of his regular contributors and obviously a go-to for a variety of topics (it seems JF's subjects of interest extend beyond extreme porn. Who knew!) I predict a charade of tactical, wide-eyed cluelessness on behalf of Jeremy 'I'm just an ordinary bloke' Vine.

Good luck to Maya - I guess it won't be anything she hasn't come up against a hundred times before at this point.

Jane Fae ...is that the person who was knitting on some programme ?
Thanks for the heads up on Maya.

Thanks for the link 👍🏻

ArabellaScott · 30/09/2022 12:58

It's been burbling on for an hour in the background, no Maya so far, just some truly fucking awful music.

Yogipineapple123 · 30/09/2022 13:06

Waiting with baited breath - she is apparently on in a moment.

NancyDrawed · 30/09/2022 13:07

I'm annoyed already - 'a woman who lost her job because she wouldn't back down on her view that you have to born female to be a woman'

Ditto, sloppy JV very sloppy!

WinterTrees · 30/09/2022 13:09

Also, I believe Owen Jones is a regular on JV's tv show. Maya is brave to do this

ArabellaScott · 30/09/2022 13:09

Gird yourself, Nancy! Sure we're due a fair shovelful of patronising gurn from Vine yet.

LizzieSiddal · 30/09/2022 13:09

Good luck Maya. She’s on now.

NancyDrawed · 30/09/2022 13:10

I'm girded!

ArabellaScott · 30/09/2022 13:10

Bingo card for this discussion -

Can't you just be kind?
Most marginalised
A phonecall from someone with a very deep voice and a female name who says Maya has damaged their mental health

ArabellaScott · 30/09/2022 13:13

'if someone is born in a male body whatever happens to that body even if they have a sex change - so called - they remain male'

Yes, Jeremy.

BernardBlacksWineIcelolly · 30/09/2022 13:14

‘Sex means you have the type of body that is able to become pregnant’

Maya admirably clear

ArabellaScott · 30/09/2022 13:14

'gender means so many different things it's not helpful to talk about' - Maya

ArabellaScott · 30/09/2022 13:15

'people can decide to do whatever they like, the question is how does that affect society' Maya

WinterTrees · 30/09/2022 13:15

'People can decide to do whatever they like, the question is - what does that mean for society?'

Maya answering so well.

LizzieSiddal · 30/09/2022 13:16

She’s so good, very clear so everyone can understand.

ArabellaScott · 30/09/2022 13:16

'doesn't that just hurt the person's feelings?'

WinterTrees · 30/09/2022 13:17

it actually sounds like Jeremy has done his research.

Ah - but here goes. 'Why say that?' He's coming onto being kind and most marginalised now, a fiver on it...
