She was brilliant.

“I don’t care!” A very fitting statement today.

Excellent work Julie

HagoftheNorth · 29/01/2023 15:52

Thank you Julie

ArabellaScott · 29/01/2023 16:10

superb.

MoirasSaggyBundles · 29/01/2023 16:20

Here's the extended interview:

Lottapianos · 29/01/2023 16:20

She's always brilliant. So clear and concise, full of anger and passion about making the world a safer place for women

'I don't care'. Quite right! It's not up to women to make everything nice for men

AnyFucker · 29/01/2023 16:24

Outstanding, Julie

”I hope it ends her political career (Nicola Sturgeon). She is a betrayer of women and she is a disgrace.”

Aye

MoirasSaggyBundles · 29/01/2023 16:30

There was a commentator on the other day who said Sturgeon knows her political career in Scotland is over and she will not bring about independence; and that her current stance on trans is a way of aligning herself with the most liberal EU thinkers, so that she can continue her career in The Hague (whether the UK is in the EU or not).

StellaOlivetti · 29/01/2023 16:32

Perfect, Julie.
I strongly suspect that to be true, @MoirasSaggyBundles .

ICanHideButICantRun · 29/01/2023 16:44

👏👏👏

Absolutely brilliant. Well done!

Datun · 29/01/2023 16:51

That was a good interview, because the questions were good, too.

And yes we do need to talk more about what people perceive as a difference between chancers and 'real' transwomen.

That hardly any have genital surgery - less than 5% have any surgery at all, and I think it's less than that who have genital surgery. How it doesn't stop men being intimidating to women or assaulting them. And how many women, yes the people mostly affected by all this, are uncomfortable or triggered by the presence of men, in their single sex spaces, even if they're absolutely delightful.

Fortunately, the debate is now a torrent, so I do believe these issues will be aired.

And yes to 'I don't care'! How unbelievably shocking of a woman not to give a flying fuck about a man's demands.

Abra1t · 29/01/2023 16:54

She was great on Times Radion yesterday evening, too.

MoirasSaggyBundles · 29/01/2023 16:56

GB news is consistently on the ball on this issue, with generally well informed interviewers who are not afraid to have the conversation. Times Radio has also been very good. It's a crying shame that the rest of the broadcast media are so cowardly.

I agree about "I don't care". Women need to stop having to do the, "Of course we care about trans people" dance in every interview. We are allowed to put ourselves first. We are allowed to defend out hard won rights. We don't need to justify this.

SpinningTooFastIWantToGetOff · 29/01/2023 17:03

Brilliant! And the interviewer was good too.

MoirasSaggyBundles · 29/01/2023 17:15

Camila Tominey. She's a royal correspondent for the DM. She's the one that broke BridesmaiddressKatecryinggate. Harry has a go at her in Spare. I think she's very bright and on the ball, and has been wasted reporting royal family gossip.

BellaAmorosa · 29/01/2023 17:17

What a warrior she is. Speaks with the authority or hard-won experience. Clear, honest and uncompromising. Take a bow, Julie Bindel. Women prisoners have a doughty champion in you.

Aye

Agree.
Hurrah for Julie Bindel

@MoirasSaggyBundles and @StellaOlivetti
Julie Bindel hinted at this, didn't she - said that Sturgeon wanted to win plaudits, get known for being kind.
The awful thing is that it still might work!

flyingbuttress43 · 29/01/2023 17:25

Camilla is actually Associate Editor of the Daily Telegraph.

MoirasSaggyBundles · 29/01/2023 17:36

Oh is she. Sorry. I knew she was a royal correspondent at some point, hadn't realised she moved to the Telegraph.

CupofTeaAndsomeToast · 29/01/2023 17:43

Julie Bindel was marvellous, a real breath of fresh air. I noted there was no pussy footing about with 'correct' pronouns either, good to see.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 29/01/2023 17:48

If only more people had spoken as clearly and factually as this on TV and radio years and years ago. In many cases, I expect they wanted to, but knew it would be the end of their careers if they did. Talk about the madness of crowds ...

Aspergirl77 · 29/01/2023 17:56

What a marvellous woman Julie is!! 👏

Askias · 29/01/2023 18:13

Germaine Greer famously said the same to Kirsty Warne when interviewed re Transwomen:

We need straight talkers.

AnyFucker · 29/01/2023 18:15

If only more people had spoken as clearly and factually as this on TV and radio years and years ago

Germaine Greer did. She got abused, attacked and cancelled for it.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 29/01/2023 18:21

👏👏👏

An absolute breath of fresh air!
