In which I get a comedy review from Graham Linehan....
. As friends will know I'm not very good at funny, but yes read these questions and non-answers out loud, you have to laugh or you might cry at the Minister for Women refusing to give a straight answer to what a woman is. https://twitter.com/Glinner/status/1107359745663557634 …
If you really believe this then perhaps the questions are unanswerable, or even seem like unreasonable trolling . Does Penny believe this? Who knows. She answers that 'pragmatically' people w female bodies are women, but then does not recognise that sometimes these ideas conflict

Of course this is not what the law says. The law still says sex is a protected characteristic. https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/our-work/news/our-statement-sex-and-gender-reassignment-legal-protections-and-language … And the women of MN were asking perfectly reasonable questions about that, and about safeguarding. Utterly disappointing the Minister would not answer

They were all very reasonable questions in my view. They reflect genuine fears - it makes me pretty cross they weren’t addressed in a sensible way.
