LGBA on Woman's Hour 19/05/25

[Greyskybluesky]

Kate Barker-Mawjee will be speaking on behalf of LGBA

“You’re arguing that a biological male can never be a lesbian”

On about butch lesbians in single sex spaces now

Describing the maleness of RMW now

YES! she doesn't believe that RMW doesn't get challenged and butch lesbians do.
HA!

She’s so good

Over millions of years we've evolved enough to tell who is male and who is female

"We believe sex is real, sex is binary and you can't change sex"

Nuala is again asking the right questions for her to set straight.

bbc impartiality —and RMR legal threats— will have led to the “uses she her pronouns”

Isn't she marvellous?
The WH person is f***g awful

She is brilliant, isn't she.

Anyway, but especially compared to the waffle word salad from the AI bloke or the me me me me waffle from RMW.

Good question at the end, I thought.

"What is something that can be done now that you [lesbians] couldn't do before the ruling?"

I love the fact that she can illustrate with RL examples. Laying out the homophobia that the “other perspective” has.

What is a concrete example of what can be done now after the ruling

Kate talks about lesbian discos and unable to do that for the last 15 years as organiser would be called transphobic. Lesbians must be allowed to meet without men present, she is looking forward to doing that.

And it's over.

That WAS a good last question

The interviewer is Nuala McGovern and I think she's not a genderist and, in sticking close to the BBC line about gender ideology being so significant, has enabled Helen Joyce and, now, Kate Barker, to put forwardly clearly why that's wrong and has harmful consequences.

Ahh I can get on with my day now!

Argh I missed it! Will have to catch up. Sounds like it was good!

And now we've got a piece on Womens Sport - so again emphasises the argument I feel.

100% agree.

I also felt she was warmer and more natural with Kate and Helen than RMW.

And onto women's sport.

The cognitive dissonance Nuala must get from going from a piece about a male coach abusing female swimmers; to defending male rights to lesbian spaces; to discussing women's sports .... don't know how she does it!

Amazingly, they are all actual women. Female women. I wonder how on earth the researchers managed to identify people to talk to?

It must really have been a challenge for them.

And one around sport and women before Kate was on too

Yes!

Am hoping that anyone new to this will be able to join lots of dots this morning based on what they've heard

🙄🙄
This was a wtf question for me

It was good though because it let K B-M set out exactly who the fellas are!
