Today it's Amnesty Internation on Woman's Hour to discuss the Supreme Court judgment

[nauticant]

With Anita Rani. I am not expecting much in the way of challenges.

Anita Rani is actually being fairly even-handed it seems to me. Surprisingly.

OH, I say! Surely we've moved on from that old fashioned position by now, what?

Anita Rani is actually raising the Darlington nurses case and the Amnesty bloke is not going to go there.

Maybe he read the super short extra easy summary helpfully provided by the SC?

Amnesty bloke: changing rooms can only excluded on the basis of proportional and legitimate.

Has just talked about how complex the judgement was - what exactly is complex about it? I just don't get it.
no way does he have zero understanding of the Darlington nurses case.

Please please please talk about a safe space for Karen Danson. Come on Anita you can do it!!

oh here we go kind, polite etc re pronouns

this guy is clueless

what a shame Amnesty don’t seem to care about women’s rights

He's babbling and talking nonsense. Everyone should be free to go anywhere because VaWG is by men.

He is so at sea on the Darlington nurses. Floundering like a great big floundering non-swimming thing.

He reaches for the lifebelt of 'threat comes from men. Men who identify as men.' He's still going under.

Rani is being a bit of a surprise champion here. 'What about the privacy of women?'

This explains everything! They've just missed the other 58 pages! It's just a silly comedic misunderstanding that can be neatly resolved in the style of a Restoration farce!

Phew, I was worried for a minute there.

So DH has just phoned me up from the garage (I know) to tell me that radio 4 have some bloke on talking about my kind of stuff.

Anita Rani is actually raising privacy of women.

Amnesty bloke is claiming he can't see the relevance, and is hiding behind "everyone should have privacy".

And it ends. That was utterly shit by Amnesty.

And now we have it - he doesn’t think that men should be excluded from women’s single sex spaces.

He said it out loud.

Talk about Rose standing in his boxers with genitals on display repeatedly asking Karen when she was going to get changed. COME ON ANITA!

So people should respect the law and not discriminate against trans people. But ignore the SC clarification of the law?

bloke sounds batshit. Annoying she’s not challenging more but maybe letting him run on and on lets him sound as inconsistent and incoherent as the whole matter is?

Anita sounds so sad and flat asking the questions!!!

"we must remember the majority of cis women who are killed are by intimate partners who are men who identify as men" (on why changing rooms should be inclusive)...

Actually, it wasn't utterly shit by Amnesty. It was utterly mendacious.

No one is saying trans people should be discriminated against you doughnut just that they are not the opposite sex so shouldn’t be in their spaces

At least he’s paying attention!

I don’t think my DH’s blood pressure would have coped with listening to that (he’s very TWAM).

Amnesty have just put themselves in the bin alongside Stonewall. Utterly discredited. Nice work Sasha.

“The guidance isn’t statutory” no but the law is you eejit

Ugh. Disappointment.

Worst that can happen to men with lady feelz - get a third private space

Worst that can happen to women like Karen - PTSD trauma response when faced with a smirking male in the changing room and being forced to relive CSA.

FUCKS SAKE. It's about women's safety.

It's bloody Men's hour apparently.

"I don't see how that's important'

THATS BECAUSE YOU'RE A MAN

Hm. Good to hear Amnesty sent a bloke onto Women's Hour to tell women they actually have no rights.
