Yesterday BBC Three Counties devoted almost 30 minutes of airtime to three male contributors - for a discussion about whether men who identify as women should use female toilets. Presenter Jonathan Vernon-Smith spoke to: 1. Robin Moira White - a male barrister who identifies as a woman (approx 12 mins) 2. Nora Padilla - policy manager at trans-rights campaign group TransActual (approx 5 mins) 3. “Michelle” from Watford - a male who identifies as a woman (approx 11 mins) Vernon-Smith did offer some challenge - reading out messages supporting single-sex toilets and inviting women who objected to men in their single sex spaces to call in. But why wasn’t a gender-critical guest invited onto the show in the first place? And why did the discussion seem to centre around personal preference - rather than matters of law? The most extraordinary section was the lengthy interview with a man called “Michelle” from Watford (we’ve included the clip here), who - as well as saying he does use women’s toilets - made the following statements: “All I want to do is […] wash hands, check the lipstick and come out.” “I usually get some nice compliments about the outfit and accessories I’m wearing.” “We don’t want to be challenged every time we go to powder our nose.” “Why do you think we want to be women? Because we love and respect everything feminine.” These comments - which clearly stereotype womanhood - went largely unchallenged. And when Michelle said women didn’t mind sharing toilets with him, Vernon-Smith didn’t ask the obvious question: might they object, but feel too afraid to say? Michelle also volunteered that he had not “fully transitioned”. Yet Vernon-Smith did not explore why a male who retains his male anatomy believes he should use facilities where women are attending to intimate bodily needs. Almost 30 minutes for three male contributors to discuss women’s toilets - but no female guest booked to explain why single-sex spaces matter. That’s the editorial choice worth examining.
