"this isn't about age"

I’m trying to listen to this as if I didn’t know anything about it, and I hate to say it, but HW’s constant repetition of ‘I’m a doctor, you’re not’ and ‘I’ve met thousands of transgender people, you haven’t’ would be quite convincing. I don’t think she thinks she’s losing: she keeps on with her attack lines and she’s constantly putting HJ on the back foot. She’s had some excellent media coaching I reckon.

I mean, I'll wait until I get there but I genuinely can't imagine who that would convince except a complete fool given that a) it's a fallacious appeal to authority in place of reasoned argument; b) Helen Joyce has of course also met plenty of transgender people by this point; and c) at root it relies completely on the basis of, "I must accept whatever someone says to me uncritically as the absolute unvarnished and completed truth".

HW happily telling everyone they can get around the puberty blocker ban by prescribing different meds to under 16s.

Well that's OK then!!

FFS.

I love Helen Joyce, love her, but I actually have some sympathy with the fella on GB News who told her she was mad and possibly evil. She's impossible to debate - think there's some benefit in just saying she's an evil charlatan.

Who was this? I'd like to see this!

Hicupping · 20/11/2025 21:54

Patronising now with a bit of added petulance.

Catiette · 20/11/2025 21:54

The host is GOOD. She catches HW in every attempt to dodge an issue.

I am very happy she is admitting this. It's now fully on record.

KafkasScooter · 20/11/2025 21:57

Love, love, love Helen Joyce.

Again claiming no knowledge of patient J, not knowing wihich country

ProfessorBettyBooper · 20/11/2025 21:57

Which case was this? Is HW for real????

EweSurname · 20/11/2025 21:57

This is the second time HW's been hazy on the case of J

Boiledbeetle · 20/11/2025 21:58

HW doesn't know about the case of J in the family courts.

Oh come on!!!

ArabellaSaurus · 20/11/2025 21:58

'A 15-year-old child was prescribed dangerous levels of hormones by an unregulated online clinic without speaking to a doctor, a court ruling has revealed.
Now 16, the teenager, known as J, was born female but identifies as a boy and has an autism diagnosis.
J got a prescription for testosterone and puberty blockers from Singapore-owned GenderGP in late 2022.
He had previously been unable to get the treatment through the NHS.
Judge Sir Andrew McFarlane said: "There must be very significant concern about the prospect of a young person such as J accessing cross-hormone treatment from any off-shore, online, unregulated private clinic."

Mollyollydolly · 20/11/2025 21:58

Second time she's denied all knowledge of 'J'. How can she deny it? How?

ghostofadog · 20/11/2025 21:58

what is this thing with patient J? was it her husband maybe? she is denying all knowledge

ProfessorBettyBooper · 20/11/2025 21:58

ArabellaSaurus · 20/11/2025 21:57

Exactly. How do we know this case and HW is saying she doesn't? LIAR!

She claimed not to know about this in the other interview, too. Said it was an Australian case. Same lines.

ThisIsMyGCname · 20/11/2025 21:59

Malevolent.

LoonyQuine · 20/11/2025 21:59

The population of "one case" people is growing rapidly right now according to HW

ThisIsMyGCname · 20/11/2025 21:59

Is that it?

Yes, I don't think I've ever witnessed someone combine such a patronising air with such total ignorance.

I suppose I'm not completely surprised that she could not understand the Equality Act or Supreme Court judgment (or our legal system in general) less if she tried but her utter blathering about the definition of sex not referring to the roles in sexual reproduction is staggeringly ignorant in a medical doctor (particularly bearing in mind she is explicitly attempting to stand on the suggestion that medicine is her area of expertise).

I’m afraid that we may think she’s petulant and ill-formed but if I didn’t know anything about this I might think she’s got a point.
