Anita Rani on WH - do you think she’s aware of her hypocrisy?

[Sparklybutold]

Anita Rani got quite a bit of backlash last year for the way she handled discussions on the trans debate. She came across as very one‑sided and pretty adversarial, and it was hard not to notice which side she seemed aligned with.

What I find interesting is that she’s still fronting Woman’s Hour and also hosting various podcasts on women’s health. It does make me wonder whether she recognises the contradiction in how she approaches these topics, or whether she genuinely doesn’t see it.

Anita is a terrible interviewer. God knows why she has a job on WH. She is not able to interrogate controversial subjects and regularly stumbles over her scripts. It’s frequently embarrassing to listen to her.

It was Paris Lees that Rani was fangirling over, when Lees’ biography was published, and Rani got arsey with the pushback.

FFS, just no.

Anita Rani is the perfect example of a puddle: very wet and very shallow.

I'm watching Fallout at the moment - this description reminds me of the people in the vaults who are all shiny happy all the time because soon they'll leave their underground homes and resurface to populate the world again once the savage top-siders have died off. They're so civilised... Except for the one or two who realise it's a load of crap and try to find ways out of the nonsense. It's very on-the-nose, but tbh I've met one or two beeb folk who really are this naive, so it's not an exaggeration.

Honestly, trans women do not have the same needs and urges as women. trans women cannot get pregnant have hormone issues and have periods. I would say good support is needed for the trans person themselves though.
