And it's joyously clean,clear ,and simple. 9 years for me since I learned of the madness,I know less than some. But a beautiful thing to see sanity return.

I’m listening. She is very good. Nick is letting her say her piece but she has had to be quite determined not to let him “whatabout” her

Winterwonders24 · 17/04/2025 08:25

Oh,and her answer to the "is this a victory for common sense?" Was superb.

Nick Robinson opening the 8.10 slot with "Trans women are not women."
Such a powerful moment.

Yes,but even the level of hectoring from nick seems less than it has been previously

Just heard it. She’s wonderful! So clear. Use the toilet provided for your natal sex!

And great that he mentioned the bottles of piss, and the abuse she got. Previously I'd only read about these here. Now I can mention (eg in my massively captured workplace) the vile acts of TRAs without revealing myself as a massive TERF. But then if the law is a TERF, perhaps it's now ok!

Has Nick Robinson baggsied doing the Supreme Court story, or are the bosses are keeping Justin Webb well away from it?

FeralWoman · 17/04/2025 08:31

Where can this be watched or listened to if outside the UK?

peakadulting · 17/04/2025 08:34

I think Justin is being kept away from it. I was looking forward to hearing him - but actually more powerful from Nick, given that Justin has never shied away from challenging the previously 😁received wisdom on this. (Who here btw was there for his utter outrage when a TRA once assumed his gender? I was cheering him on from my kitchen 😁)

Yes, in case he again says that transwomen are male and the BBC have to uphold a complaint against him like last time

There has been great clarity.

I also enjoyed the repetition of sex is binary yesterday, from the judges.

I didn’t hear op but might get on bbc sounds

Could they do that now? Isn't that what the court clarified?

It's a cheering listen, especially when compared to the media landscape of last 5-10 years

Omg I'd forgotten about that completely!
I really think this could not now happen.

It was great hearing the baroness spell it out, but yet again I was disappointed not to hear from the FWR women. Nick Robinson congratulating them would have been great! Have Radio 4 had any of them on at all yet? I’m also disappointed that when ? Nick was asking about the plight of transwomen not being able to use their hospital ward of choice no one said that at least women would now know the other people in their ward were women and not be called bigots when they knew a male who had made minimal changes to their body was on their ward which made them feel unsafe when undressing.

Davros · 17/04/2025 09:26

Justin should go back to that judgment and ask for an apology or reparation. It wasn’t long ago, maybe not too late
