and with a splendid eye roll to boot 😁

She said (well, implied) that ONLY women can get pregnant. Truly groundbreaking stuff 😂

Sounds like the kind of thing Jordan Gray would bang out on the piano.

Webberley on X and the top three replies for me:

This is what Sooz Kempner has said on Bluesky. Please make it make sense:

If you reject "pregnant person" when referring to women, AFAB and non-binary people who are pregnant what you're saying is you don't think women are people. You fucking weirdo.

sorry I hadn’t seen this, thanks for the screenshots @SabrinaThwaite!

Well done Martine

That's got "I'm biological and a woman therefore I'm a biological woman" vibes. i.e. logic fail-arama.

Just seen it. Brilliant!!

I'm not breaking the champagne open yet but, this is encouraging

Although, if I were a glass half empty type person, I'd be a little depressed at the breadcrumbs tossed our way. I'm grateful to Martine but to be genuinely fearful that this could cost her job. To know that this will see her the target of unhinged rage and batshittery. That this is how it is now. A newsreader using the word 'women to correct a scientist, a scientist, who didn't and it makes the fucking papers!

She’s attracted a lot of attention now; she probably feels very unable to post much on SM.

I hope she and Justin Webb are in a supportive WhatsApp…!

joe bangles as asked her favourite cheese.

port and Stilton?

Brilliant good on her.

Tg the BBC are if do, not long ago she’d have lost her job. Crazily that would the case.

She’d better not now.

The thing is, she is and actual woman. But yes, same vibez.

I am going with "pregnant carbon-based life forms" from now on, to be extra inclusive

On that article:

SEEN in Journalism

People who say ‘why is it a big deal’ don’t understand that this has done more to tell BBC staff that things have changed than any staff-wide guidance.

What it tells them is that gender identity complaints activism is losing its power. This is what’s huge.

The gender mafia are losing their power inside the BBC.

The ripples from this are huge. All coming from the women who started fighting back, the courtcases they won and the medics who told the truth.

Yes Sooz is a champion handmaiden. Falls over herself a lot to wade in with useless "arguments" to try to put people who care about women, children and gay people in their place.

As a PP said, her argument is like saying that if you say "Black lives matter" instead of "People's lives matter" you're saying black people aren't people. Is that right Sooz?

…and yet they think that tactic doesn’t support OLTS?

These people are not very smart. 😂😂😂😂

Biology is now an ideology 😂😂😂

He expected to be dawned over with the special voice that is reserved for the most vulnerable, marginalised people 🙄
He wasn’t prepared for even the most polite prodding

Just kept repeating "Trump's America" and "how would you feel if someone said you weren't a woman" as if those were brilliant arguments.

💯

absolutely agree

its another way of men keeping control and making sure they are centre of all decisions made in our society

He obviously expected to be fawned over and I obviously expected my fat fingers to hit the correct keys

We never hear about people with prostate cancer, do we?

India Willoughby, Iran’s biggest fan, is encouraging people to complain to the BBC and asking for
Martine to be sacked. If she wasn’t gender critical before this incident, Martine definitely will be now!

India Willoughby is a real piece of work.
