Always find this interesting when my family brings it up, I suspect it’s just to troll me because I have generally lefter than them views on things, but like you don’t know any trans people and you haven’t had any problems with any individuals in that group so why do you care so much about their identity?!
Isn’t that just business as usual on This Morning? Clueless idiots spouting nonsense?
I’ve made this point before but I’m happy to do it again. If trans people get shown on TV it’s becomes very obvious that instead of being crazed deviants we are instead just people. This is of course does not fit the story, so we find ourselves being talked about not talked to.
Also getting someone completely anti trans on to discuss this is appalling.
Like people discussing whether Jews or Muslims or Buddhists are human or not without having a single member of that religion/ethnicity at the table to give their side. This is just slagging off minorities behind their back to your mates but broadcast to the public.
>This Morning presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield chatted with Observer columnist Sonia Sodha, who described the Scottish bill as a “very, very poorly conceived legislation”.
>“If you’re a man [who] wants to commit voyeurism or exposure – flashing – it’s much harder for you to be challenged if you’re going into spaces where women are getting undressed, women and teenage girls are getting undressed, if you are able to change your legal sex in the eyes of the law.”
>The show did not point out that access to single-sex spaces is not dependent on having obtained a gender recognition certificate (GRC).
>Sodha was joined only by LBC radio presenter Nick Ferrari, who once said live on air that being gay is “a choice of lifestyle”.
