Catherine Ordway looks very masculine to me. Are we sure that’s a “woman on the panel”?

Aaaand that’s one of the things that this trans thing corrupts. People who don’t buy into the annihilation of sex become hypervigilant for intruders; i.e., sex indicators.

maddog, that’s my first thought, too. Until Ophelia said she was a woman, I assumed the panel was all male.

I need to confess that long before I peaked, I had convened a panel for a radio show that was 3 guys and a trans ID man to talk about atheist podcasting in the Twin Cities. While I had invited a woman, she had to cancel at the last moment. One of the male guests asked about it being a “sausage fest,” but I assured him that we were fine since one of the guests used female pronouns.
Once I peaked I felt like I had failed atheist women on that incident, but I assure you it wasn’t intentional.
That being said, I do not think that the producers of this show can plead naivety, since this is on a topic that directly affects women in athletics. C’mon, guys!

The Australian Stonewall has hijacked our ABC. Its coverage of trans issues has been so poor, one-sided, and biased, that it was called out last week by another of its own programs – Media Watch.

Starts at 6:46.
Host of Q&A, Stan Grant, loves the sound of his own voice, will answer questions posed to panellists and is an all round RWNJ.
The backlash has been so fierce that they have closed comments and are no longer allowing the public to submit the Q they would like an A for.
