“At present level of scientific knowledge" a man is not a woman, nor will he ever be so. What a ridiculous preamble, a pathetic claw back of truth by the WBC. We may as well say, "at present level of scientific knowledge", the earth revolves around the sun.
I recommend Graham to role play with Helen Staniland, have HS ask/declare the same script as this Smith person, and then Glinner thoroughly answers, with citations, the current data on de-transitioners, quoting testimonies at transwidowsvoices.org, lesbians who've been coerced to have sex with men, and clips from Elaine Miller on the unconscious detransitioning that elderly men suffering from dementia are engaging in, and give yourself a do-over with the whole thing.
It would go viral. Practice the phrase, "I'm not going to let you interrupt me here." The cross-sex ideologues constantly take over the narrative and no time for reasonable logic in response. My guess is that the interviewer believed she "had to" seem aggressive, or she'd be attacked by TRAs, and the whole episode would be pulled from broadcast. Glinner was barely allowed to say his very strong, logical and caring points. Another phrase to memorize is: "I understand what you are doing here, with your constant interruptions, as my statements are supported by science."
It does mean that prevaricators like Dr. Ray Blanchard will have to be set back on their heels--I know from the experience of discovering my then-husband's cross-dressing (called the "true life test," a truly false and misleading phrase) that the "two years" of "appearing as the opposite sex" was very rarely followed, (then known as the Blanchard Protocols) even way back. The dysphoric diagnosis was an "interesting, new area" for psychologists to specialize in, dating back to the "sexology" heyday of the 1980s, related to styles of androgyny in fashion and lifestyle, as well as the so-called sexual liberation of women.
I recommend to say, "Let's leave the Nazis out of this," even though this experimentation IS NOT SO FAR from what Mengele did. I knew one of the "Mengele twins" who survived. Mengele was a "pervert," her exact word.
When I met Ruth The Charlatan, my then-husband's non-certified, no-credentials groomer, she told me how "rare" the diagnosis was, but how she knew lots of men like Neddy, and she was "certain" her diagnosis was correct, though her fragment of a credential was "being the wife of a doctor." This path should have been rejected by the surgeons who accepted the 'diagnostic letters." Researcher bias is very strong, and the field of psychology let it all spin out of control.
I'd love to put my painful past in the past, and never speak or write of it again, but I care about these confused girls, knowing I too, might have been sucked into the cult, as an athletic and non-ruffly teen girl back in 1969.

To be honest, Graham, I think it was many, many more than 'hundreds' who responded to the Scottish census in this way. The Nats rarely tell the truth if it reflects badly on them. Plus remember the 87% return rate (it was 97% in England and Wales) indicated such a strength of feeling that many of the refuseniks were because of the sex question.
For those who are convinced "leftists" (self-described bullshitters) are behind gender ideology, I would suggest listening to Julie Jaman, the woman banned from the Y in Port Townsend, Washington, on this podcast:
Lovely photo of you having lunch with Michael Nugent on his Twitter account. You looked nice and relaxed which is great considering what you have been through. Being rather a contrarian I don’t always agree with everything Michael Nugent says but I have huge respect for the man. I went on the Peace Train to Belfast in the 1980s when the Provo IRA were bombing the track and Michael was one of the main organisers. If you are crowdfunding for your battle with the Hatpricks put me down for €50 (more if I win the Lotto).
Just to let folks know who might be planning to send an email to Newsnight, I had an auto reply saying the email address newsnight@bbc.co.uk was an unmonitored inbox. It offered a link https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/ so I'll copy and paste the wording into the complaints column. Might also be worth sending the email to Tim Davie (Director General and Editor in Chief) Email: tim.davie@bbc.co.uk as I've had quite a bit of success getting responses that are normally ignored if you send to an organisation's customer services (M&S, John Lewis, etc.)
Those seals are adorable!
I’m thankful for Graham’s work to expose the dangers of this whack ideology.
Letter to Maclean in the post!
Thank you so much!

Wow, you can go places with this!
At present level of scientific knowledge:
The Earth is round
Water is necessary for life
All mammals reproduce sexually
And, human stupidity and cupidity is infinite.
Have cribbed and sent your template in my name. Thanks for making your eloquent letter available to use.
Thanks so much, Jess! x
The videos are just beautiful. Reminded me of the seal sanctuary in Cornwall and some of their lovely residents who weren’t able to transition
( sorry to use that word 😬) back to the wild.
Thank you!
A nice bunch of cheering news, not least the Boxing ruling. That was sorely needed.
Hurrah for the women (and a fair number of men) in Scotland. The article is great, and the comments are pretty good too.
Copied and sent letter to BBC Newsnight. Thanks for making it so easy for us.
Gosh, I want a seal as a pet now!
Yes, those seals are adorable, aren't they?! And thank you so much for writing to Newsnight.
Newsnight email sent.
Brilliant! Thank you!
Your template letter is perfection JL.
Thank you so much!
Sent the email.
They owe Graham a massive apology!
Thank you for doing this x
Thanks so much, Shelley!
You’re words are much better than mine
Sent
Thank you so much, Petal!

A further return to normality: Uniformed police have been told not to participate in Manchester Pride https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/uniformed-officers-asked-not-participate-24832685
Also no rainbow epaulettes or laces.

Listen to an ACTUAL leftist, not some damnable progressive masquerading as something they could not even define.
Graham, is that @GRAHNMLINEHAN on Twitter by a genuine person/ supporter or is it a fake account by the evil ones ?
evil ones, I'm afraid, Karl
