R4 Today: Your Election

[Madcats]

"Please have a go at doing what we do every day: ask the hard questions about why that issue really matters; be clear about why millions of listeners, including those at the top of business and government, should care; and then sell it with a clear, strong title."

I bet that they wouldn't dare cover "What is a woman", but some of you might care to suggest it.

I heard this and thought of you marvellous vipers. They made a lot of this being an election year and wanting topical submissions. Coming at it from a “politically homeless” and free speech angle could open the conversation up.

I'd say we need to be asking not just " What is a woman"?

But asking " Why do you think it is important that we are able to correct identify what a woman is"?

This question draws out the reasons for being able to correctly identify exactly what a woman is - and necessitates critical reflection.

Just asking " What is a woman" can be dismissed as a bit of a party game/a gotcha.

You seem to need to do this with a partner or group

Explain, please.

I think the more accurate question is "What is a trans woman"?

Explain, please.

It's in the rules! Presumably so they don't get ranters. You need to be able to show that at least two people think that it's an issue.

My question would be 'why are so many people pretending that men can become women if they want to ' (follow up of 'and lying about biological reality')

That's the real question I want answered. Why the pretence about it all.
