Not *too* good though. Remember that this thread and every thread is being monitored covertly by the Most Vulnerable People™ so the cat's out of the bag.
PITCH: The pope turn between god and his love of head tilts and pink lipstick wants to live her best life while still being pope. he decides he can live his/her dream with Boy mode and girl Mode. Working title Izzard and the New testament
Not nearly as funny as all of you, but I tweeted to the BBC Writers Room:
I married a nutter with the delusion that he was "a woman". If he writes a play can he enter this competition? This is not funny: he has XY chromosomes in all his cells. He is and will always remain a MAN. No one can "identify" out of their sex - FACTS MATTER
It doesn’t change the overall valid point, but the BBC only included this on their page of stage and screen writing opportunities... they do not organise it.
Thanks for the heads-up Graham. As others have said, whilst this is being advertised by the BBC, it is not BBC created, so I'm off to Twitter to try and engage The Women's Prize for Playwriting in understanding what their mission _really_ is.
"In honor of Torrey Peters's incredible novel, Detransition, Baby, and its nomination for The Women's Prize, we will donate £1 from every copy we sell until the announcement of the prize to trans-led organizations. In fact, we'll donate £1 from every copy of every longlisted author to trans-led organizations in support of feminism that embraces trans liberation. With congrats to all the incredible nominees on a diverse list. Feel free to send this link around! We'd love to make a nice donation in July!"
The Second Shelf is another one to boycott then!
Says it is a "London bookshop" but uses US-spelling, eg. "honor". What is this, "trans national"?
*Trans Women Deserve Women's Prizes* - straight out of "Resisting TERF’s and Transforming Their Organizations" - for "TERFs" read "women"!
Yeah, my bad. Silly question to ask really. I conducted five minutes research on the bloke and that's all that I needed to know what he is. Braying, goading and bullshitting is his fortè.
Go on Graham. Submit something. Call it Trans Away the Heart Break by Grainna Linehan.
Don’t call yourself Grainna Linehan. Go for something where no one can guess. Write a brilliant comedy. Win. Then announce it was a stunt.

Just give it 50% 😉 That'll be enough.
Graham GRAHAM emmm you supply the play i will supply the head tilt lets make this happen

Done. Never ending but the erosion of women’s rights is a fight we will not give up ✊🏼.

2. Write a play. And don’t worry if it’s an embarrassing pile of pornographic crap that could only have been written by a male.

And while we're on the topic, the Women's Poets Prize is the same. https://www.rebeccaswiftfoundation.org/women-poets-prize/
Oh FFS!!! This is sickening!
Butch man steals women’s prize... same old same old..
C’min we need a new award for all these brave women. £100k plus a job with The Guardian or BBC I think
Let’s have a ‘women's award for bravery in a queer world’
Nominees: Eddie Izard for her bravery in standing up to 13 year old girls (coz face it they can be bitches)
Rosalynne Montoya- for her brave reporting from the front line (of border control in an airport)
Torrey Peters: standing up for her rights to have her voice heard and stopping book burning
Kathryn Bristow: for her bravery in fighting the misogyny in the Green Party and holding the last defence as the only woman standing.
I’m sure there are many other worthy nominees. Love to hear your nominees.
I'm there dude 😎 Gotta get something out of that extortionate licence fee. Even the football is shit to listen to now the crowds have gone AWOL 😕

Veronica Ivy? Is he really that obtuse or is he f*cking with y'all? The nickname writes itself 😜
Mr Rachel "Veronica Ivy" McKinnon is a liar and a cheat and he knows it.
He's trolling us all. The first (and most obvious) clue is the title of his thesis paper:
"Reasonable Assertions: On Norms of Assertion and Why You Don’t Need to Know What You’re Talking About."
I mean really! An essay on how to talk shite and make people believe you. As the saying goes, 'when people show you who they are...'.
Yeah, my bad. Silly question to ask really. I conducted five minutes research on the bloke and that's all that I needed to know what he is. Braying, goading and bullshitting is his fortè.
