Always remember that the man behind Newsnight, who moved to C4 and was responsible for the penis-chanting 'Genderquake' there, was married to the CEO of Mumsnet.

Remembering the "GenderQuake" programme on Channel 4 when several trans women agreed to debate, then the producers packed the audience with "Gender Criticals" who screamed "PENIS" at them all the way through.
"real and calm" my arse.

Julia Long is a notoriously obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobe.
She pulled exactly the same boring stunt in 2018 when she heckled Munroe Bergdorf on the Channel 4 show ‘Genderquake’ (where Ash Sarkar also called her out her immature heckling)

I raised C4's transphobia on 'Genderquake' with their rep at a Policy Forum event as she boasted about their support for diversity.
"Um, could we take this offline?"
Being called out in public for a 'good faith chat' was clearly too scary for her.

We saw a glimpse of this with the 2018 Genderquake debate on c4, where producers bused in TERFs and instructed them to heckle trans women in the debate.
Then AFTER the debate, Munroe Bergdorf was targeted extensively to the point THE MAN WHO HIRED HER got fired from his charity job.

Channel 4, it was called GenderQuake and I believe it’s still accessible on their streaming platform, not that you’d want to suffer through it of course.

#Genderquake so toxic to view @channel4news.bsky.social buried it hoping for saving their own credibility as journalist/presenters. A truly ripped up viewing horror. Full of transgender people untrammeled pain and mask off cis gender critical hatred & foul, hateful speech. That was the debate! 2018.

And if you’ve missed the context on Genderquake, C4 actually sought out on social media the worst anti trans people they could in full view of everyone, those people then shouted “penis” every time Munroe spoke and harassed her, they refused to remove them, that’s their level of “debate”

#WingsOS attacked #NicolaSturgeon's #SelfID consultation 1 of Nov 2017 I did a four page "stalls guide" in absence of anything from HQ. All transphobic hell broke out, a trans chap tried to do a local briefing; brutally ended. #Ch4 Cathy Newman " #Genderquake: Debate" horror show ran May 8th 2018

I suspect they (deliberately) conflated the genuine calls for no debating of our existence after the Genderquake debacle with Stonewall policy because the timelines seem to match up mostly

"Why won't the transes debate us?"
Bergdorf did fucking debate you people. Youse whipped the audience up into such a hateful frenzy beforehand that they started screaming "penis" at her while she was trying to talk.

After the way trans people were treated in by channel 4 on the Genderquake program where the "audience" was stacked with GCs who spent the entire time shouting penis every time a trans person tried to speak. We're fed up of being setup every time and not having a fair say.

'No debate' was from the community (not stonewall) in response to genderquake airing in which channel 4 bussed in a bunch of anti trans figures who c4 encouraged to harass the speakers. In return various trans people said no debate (as in no, we are not going to go up and debate on these shows)

“No debate”, by my recollection, largely started in the wake of shit-stirring TV shows like Channel 4’s Genderquake: The Debate, where the live audience was encouraged by producers to make their views known, which they responded to by shouting bigoted comments at Munroe Bergdorf like “penis”.

Excellent. Laura who followed Jane & a grandparent supporting her trans grandson. All very positive. Host covered not knowing or hearing from trans people themselves - shining a spotlight on the deliberately hostile conditions going right back to "Genderquake" Ch4 driving trans voices out of view.

But they don't just "feel mocked". That framing itself dignifies the anti-trans assertion that this is all feelings and snowflakes. Trans people have been repeatedly betrayed by legacy media, as Abigail described.
I saw Genderquake, it was vile television and no sort of journalism or debate.
