I'm not unconvinced that it can, but I haven't actually seen one yet (which surprises me).

Why am I being shown this? I don't follow you, it's not marked as sponsored, and I've never expressed any interest in AI art (other than to shit on it from time to time). Stop it, @bsky.app

I'm not going to change your mind on the fundamentals of gender identity, nor am I here to, but I do think it's worth just noting for the record that I think your assertions are wrong and contrary to both compassionate ethics and expert opinion. Not going to debate it here.

I was also disappointed that assertions regarding coalitions weren't rebutted, though I very much respect the podcast's gentle approach on this kind of thing.
(Still wonder if someone could have acknowledged that his position wasn't gospel without it devolving into a scrap though. Hindsight, etc.)

It's great to have Tories on from time to time so I can be reminded how profoundly I disagree with their political worldviews, not just (in most cases though perhaps not this) their personalities.

Sincere question though, not trying to catch you out: how much of it did you watch, and why?

Most of the show was people being lovely, I thought. Often stupid, often catty, but not horrible.
Sounds like you just don't like certain types of TV, which seems fine. I don't like some shows either. 🤷🏻♂️

This may be something I've missed, but which rapist (male, I assume) has the BBC misgendered?

He'd just keep telling everyone he's a traitor, then people would be surprised when they work out he's a traitor, then he'd be voted out and continue to deny that he was.

The worst part is the bit where you're being forced to watch.

Nope! This is one thing I'm happy not to be democratic. Leave it to the experts - the casting is one of the main things that makes the show as good as it is.

I am very suspicious about this, and the supporting quotes and lack of critical voice in the article only make me more so.
So the question is: should I watch in the hope that the topic is handled better than it sounds like it'll be, should I hate-watch, or should I just avoid?
