and with a splendid eye roll to boot 😁

Well done, Martine!

I bloody love Martine, I clicked on this thinking it would be her. The BBC can’t sack her for being accurate now!

I’ve always really liked her and her no-nonsense approach and would have been so disappointed if she’d started with the genderist nonsense. Now that’s who should be presenting woman’s hour.

I fully support trans people & how they wish to identify. I do not support changing language to fit their narrative

Thankfully in France we're not as far down the craziness road (but there is some heavy pushing) - the downside being that we don't get moments of joy like the SC ruling or, well, this 😁

A young woman I know (late 20s) got married last year, and DH and I were both invited. My DH doesn't drink alcohol, and I asked if there would be alcohol free booze there, for the toast and whatnot. She said 'oh yes, we have some on order. There's going to be 3 pregnant people there, so they won't be drinking alcohol.' This was me when she 'said pregnant people......'

I didn't know this about her, what an enjoyable thread that's enabled me to catch up about her achievements!!! Knowing she's out there doing this makes me reconsider getting back to watching the news, knowing a presenter is protecting the truth over spin.

Ive only seen the clips of her on here but from those... I love her.
The eye roll was brilliant!
I hope she doesnt get into bother.

Yes. I am a woman. Not a "person with a uterus".

👏👏👏👏

The interview with Heather Herbert is sheer class. She stuck to the facts, did not get irate and calmly walked Herbert into a self-contradictory mess. I can imagine Herbert switching the laptop off and going “what the fuck did I just say?”

Nah. Herbert would need some self awareness to be able to do that.

This a good question to ask. Personally, I think it is a number of factors. First as you say it is about numbers. Secondly, I think tone of voice makes a big difference. The interview with HH would have been difficult for HH but the tone of voice was calm throughout. I don’t think WEC was the same.

Or 'bodies with a vagina' (Lancet, September 2021)

Or 'those with a cervix' (Scottish Government cervical screening radio campaign, October 2021)

Or 'non men' (Green Party, numerous occasions)

There's so many more examples as well.

I attend a lot of meetings with the NHS - a worrying number of ppl use it with a completely straight face

After the Supreme Court ruling, how could the Beeb possibly justify that?

I have visions of her being dragged off for 're-education' straight after she came off air!

"Non-men"! 😭😭

We're not women any more, we're just - not men?

What's the rationale for that one?

Martine is great. Oh Heather ! Had a "discussion " with Heather a few years ago when I was on Facebook with a female Unison official ( TWAW) regarding Self ID and let's just say, I just decided there and then that Unison was a lost cause. Completely attempted to mansplain me and tell me I had nothing to worry about and all my concerns were all in my paranoid little head. Awful.

Fair play to her. Stop. Erasing. Women.

👏🏻

Misogyny.

I thought Heather seemed quite hesitant and befuddled by the end, at the moment of saying nah it’s not a big deal. There was a look of “this isn’t what I came here to say…”

But will have been instantly reassured it was fabulous and Martine is a meanie old TERF.

Good. There’s no such thing as pregnant people.

That eye roll was very clear imo.
Well done Martine!
