Shambles Audience apparently encouraged to heckle; panelists set up to fail; horrendously inept host; gaslighting Germaine Greer to make her look senile Someone has done an analysis of time: Caitlyn & Monroe dominated, Sarah & Germaine drowned out The (irrelevant) Caitlyn show

The women heckling were not helpful and I was thinking "idiots". It strikes me that stifling the debate like this serves in a similar way to the met tactic of "Kettling". If you detain a crowd for long enough, some in that crowd get fed up and respond aggressively.
-
Good analogy. Proving a free bar beforehand for the audience makes me suspicious of Channel 4’s motivations.
-
Thanks Brian. Very frustrating indeed. Free bar is fuel to the fire on an already hostile debate with too much heat. What we're the producers thinking?
-
Heat is more entertaining than light?

Nailed it

I was there for the filming. I was meant to be given the chance to speak, but they ran out of time. I did a video on my experience here:https://youtu.be/FAYfuJVSvrQ

Really worth watching, I wish it had been a genuine debate and your voice heard. As it was it seems the production company just wanted to whip up controversy?pic.twitter.com/mmnHoXjFUF

Yes, it was a bit of a car crash. No time or space given to develop any points made - too sensationalist & Jenner given way too much airtime seeing as she just rambled on about irrelevant stuff. Newman was an appalling chair. The heckling was dreadful. A great opportunity missed.

Overwhelming reaction to
#Genderquakedebate on C4 was it was a lost opportunity. The chairing by Newman was very poor wrt framing pertinent questions, enabling parity of representation, ensuring all the panel stayed on topic & able to articulate a point without interruption. -
Hugely disappointing that rather promoting respectful debate there was a purported effort to encourage heckling. For what purpose? Entertainment?https://twitter.com/sianho/status/994355208057688064?s=21 …

The show was pitched to be entertainment. It was set up throughout to spark angry reactions from both sides. It was not about debate. There was a lack of range of views from trans side. Honestly? Did no one any favours, and just made situation worse. Irresponsible from c4.

Thought it was a shame that we didn't hear from invited audience members (didn't like the heckling but could sense their frustration with the one sided 'debate'- Ditum and was interrupted,Greer was set up). Saw no thought given to women's real concerns by transpeople.All me me me
