With the brilliant Kathleen Stock.

Anyone planning to watch?

(Apologies if there’s an existing thread I’ve missed).

Ooh, Kass “they/them” is definitely channelling 80s New Romantic.

Back then, we didn’t need “they/them”.

This is more balanced than I thought it would be so far.
And while I do appreciate Katy Jon’s perspective as more ‘moderate’ to me KJ is still arguing for some tw should be allowed to use women’s spaces.

I’d really like there to be more challenge on some of the familiar tropes we see here and Julie B to talk about statistics of transwomen amongst sex offender prison population.

These students are annoyingly whiney.

Faffertea · 30/05/2023 22:39

These Cambridge students are the height of privilege. Talking about feeling afraid based on speech. They have no idea about real danger.

ArabeIIaScott · 30/05/2023 22:40

Ooh, it's that debate. Fab.

Datun · 30/05/2023 22:40

It's the incoherence and introspection that's so notable to me.

Mmmnotsure · 30/05/2023 22:40

Apologies for my old university. What happened to it?

PickleC · 30/05/2023 22:40

It hard to accept the argument that a new generation doesn't want to be labelled when there is so much emphasis on terms to be used, pronouns and flags

ArabeIIaScott · 30/05/2023 22:41

Another posh lad hectoring women.

Rightsraptor · 30/05/2023 22:41

Kass (they/them) wearing his male evening attire.

ArabeIIaScott · 30/05/2023 22:42

She's so deadpan! 😂

Jux · 30/05/2023 22:42

Stupid boy.

dapsnotplimsolls · 30/05/2023 22:42

We haven't heard from any young transmen.

I think we had a couple earlier?

MotherOfVizslas · 30/05/2023 22:44

Little twat

Faffertea · 30/05/2023 22:44

Kass needs to live in the real world. Kass needs to see what life is like for people with real struggles. A white male, middle class law student at one of the top (and expensive) higher education in the world knows nothing about oppression or how difficult life is for thousands of people in the UK.

I have no time for their smug whinging and whining

ArabeIIaScott · 30/05/2023 22:44

God, this is so sad.

She's lost her career.

Fucking hero, though.

Show quote history

Oh, the digging pair. We didn't hear much from them.

Faffertea · 30/05/2023 22:45

I think Dr Finn is transman too? Missed the surname

Jux · 30/05/2023 22:46

Kass embodies everything that is wrong about academic institutions today.

Exactly this.
Deluded.

AutumnCrow · 30/05/2023 22:47

I think this documentary is going rather well.

Datun · 30/05/2023 22:47

Nasty little turncoat. And absolutely no content.

I believe, officially, Kathleen won the debate.

ArabeIIaScott · 30/05/2023 22:47

Yes. I wish Stock didn't already have a gong, she should get more.

Apparently a female who identifies as transmasc
