Oh gosh ladies I never thought it would happen (especially as they have constanyly refused to put graham linehsn on the dick of the year despite massive pressure from the trans lobby )but it did.

In what appears to be a new producers anti women statement.

They made the denigration of jk rowling, the promotion of stone wall and complete pasting of the studio with the anti female trans heavy "pride" flag. A supposed response to the world cup being held in quatar a country that has significant human rights abuses and anti gay laws

I feel shaken by it. To see that flag and all it represents for lesbians in this country, for safeguarding and single sex spaces for women, being waved and draped over everyone was deeply sickening,

This program is no longer a friend to women or girls or gay people.

Can they really have not understood how terrible the optics and realities are?
Have they not understood what's just happened between mermaids and LGBA?

Upsetting.

I felt the same and turned it off after they disparaged JKR. It made me realise that even when they talk about stability, it’s usually only disabled men that gets mentioned. It was lovely to see Rose Ellis on there but the Stonewall thing is a big red flag for me.
I barely watch any Channel 4 now. They’re the Guardian of terrestrial telly for me.

Channel 4. Where Jordan Gray stripped off and played the piano with 'her' penis the other week. What did you expect?

Yeah, nothing to see here, move along....

I finally lost patience with this show when margolyes wished Boris Johnson dead and everyone thought that was hilarious. Fucking wankers, the lot of them.

This.

CatProcrastinator1 · 20/11/2022 15:12

I no longer care if channel 4 is sold off now. They have been anti woman for some time. Do any of those presenters with their professed love of sport really think that it is fair that a man should play in women's sport? What do they think would happen in rugby league for instance? They are either too stupid or more likely they don't care enough to understand the implications and even if they do they are too cowardly to speak out. Hypocrites.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 20/11/2022 15:18

Tbh I’m amazed it’s taken them this long to wang women under the bus. They’ve tried so hard to ignore it even when the latest jkr monstering was the biggest story of the week, they didn’t go there

it was inevitable though when they did that they’d be on the JKR is a bigot/beeee kind side

it’s bollocks of course. They’re all straight men. They all know exactly what a woman
ia when they want a fuck or to create babies and don’t for one minute really believe TWAW

their careers depend on them being on the burn jkr side so they are

twas ever thus

Trans ppl clearly exist as they occupy mass in time & space

I’ve no problem with trans women existing

they’re not women though they’re men so they don’t get to claim rights & spaces that are for women

I didn't see the programme but the wording in the OP gave the impression that the flag shown was the 'progressive' pride flag and not the blue and pink Trans flag.

If that's the case, it's telling that you refer to it as the trans flag and ignore all the other groups supposedly represented on it.

Same old lies, eh.

howmanybicycles · 20/11/2022 15:27

It's shocking that they are so blase about the way women are routinely treated in Qatar and so blind to that the fact that 'you want trans people not to exist' is now being used as a propaganda statement to (try and) justify anti-women statement and actions.

JKR does not think men can become women and does not think that we should stop using the word woman to describe biological females. If you have a problem with her in that regard then you have a problem with women's rights and you are very much the problem.

But this is a strawman isn't it? No post here is 'upset that trans people exist' or does not wish them to.

Your post and supporters are upset that women would like equality of rights and for TQ+ politics to desist from oppressing and harming them.

Unless, as in another thread, you are expressing the view that T people cannot 'exist' without women being harmed? I think you'd find many TQ+ would disagree with this, it's a rather transphobic view don't you think? Negative generalisations generally being deletable on MN.

Blister · 20/11/2022 16:25

Yes it's a me problem. I count. I matter. And I will not be silenced.

MichaelFabricantWig · 20/11/2022 16:27

The presenters all have daughters. It’s quite depressing to see the show take this stance.

Babasghost · 20/11/2022 17:33

Thanks ladies.
I've found more and more that shows that I valued to give good insightful but lighthearted approaches to current events where I've respected evidenced opinions are just turning to pap. This is the first time they have just openly gone for it which is why it felt like such a betrayal.

Now the erosion of womens rights is happening in plain sights on men on the left, and hugEE profile in the media are at best embarassed and silent about it whilst able to rant about other injustices ( ones that happen to men and theregore are impirtant) .
I mean it's not the oppression of women in the Qatar regime theyvkbhect to is it?

I think any day now nosh Kumar is going to go full tea and the old Champaine socialists that used to at least be a voice for their pet oppressed will just become out and out despots ( cough Frankie Boyle cough) .

What's the purple circle for again?

OP I’m not going to namecheck the attention seeker but if this is a you problem, it’s a me problem too. I’m sick of this narrative being peddled on comedy shows.

musicalfrog · 20/11/2022 17:38

I've seen this coming for a while on this show tbh. Hence stopped watching it some time ago.

This.
They betray the very sports women they wheel onto the show to signal their feminist credentials.

Maybe they just want more disabled female athletes.. and letting men play against them is the fastest way to accomplish this.
Yay crush those bones laydeees.

I was quite disappointed to see Russell Howard and James Acaster get behind the tra lobby lately as well. It seems to be the new way of getting on the telly for someone to tell a handful of jokes then spend the rest of their set ranting about politics.

I count too. Also pretty sure I matter and I don't agree with anything JKR says. We are allowed to have different opinions and the presenters on Last Leg are allowed to have opinions too. If you don't like what they say, then don't bother watching next time. No need to get so dramatic.

RoseslnTheHospital · 20/11/2022 20:19

You don't agree with anything JKR says? Can you give an example of one of the things she has said that you disagree with?
