It seems Martine is of the 'call a spade a spade' crowd. Good. We need more like her.

Not that I watch TV, of course; I found out about this via random surfing.
I agree, but this doesn’t raise sufficiently different issues to those already under discussion here in the gender ideology thread, hence thread merged

Lots of newspapers have covered this; notably the BBC news website is ignoring it completely. Here’s one without a paywall that includes the relevant clip of Croxall rolling her eyes and saying women after visibly stuttering when she encountered the term ‘pregnant people’ on her autocue.
