The hounding of Kathleen Stock came up on Question Time yesterday, and by Auntie's current performance there was a notable outbreak of reality (starts 39'40"): https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0010k4m/question-time-2021-14102021
Thank you for the link. The Labour woman rolling her eyes wasn't great and was obviously disrespectful. Seeing as she was asking for respect it's plainly hypocritical. The audience member and their concept that you should be safe from being exposed to different or uncomfortable opinions baffles me. How can she be studying theatre where you embody the lived experience and character of another?
I wonder if there will be a review of gender reassignment vs gender identity vs gender definitions in law as these seem to be used interchangeably and often misunderstood.
Gender reassignment was supposed to be a considered and timely process. Now it seems you can choose to identify as what you like and demand inclusion and the rights of the sex you identify into without much more thought than that.
I become infuriated with the constant denial that self-id won't be abused by predatory males in women's spaces. All this pretending that we don't know women are vulnerable compared to men. And pretending that some men have female brains and they're perfectly harmless in our spaces. Pretending we don't know who's a man or woman. Just stop it. Stop pretending.
Many thanks - this is reference quality!

There was a notable outbreak of Robert Winston too. Cheers for that!
