GB News host said that "petite transgender women should be able to play sports"

Emily Carver was left livid after her co-host Tom Harwood after the presenter shared his views on transgender women competing in women's sports.

After a segment on GB News about how India Willoughby has called the police on JK Rowling after she deliberately misgendered the transactivist, Emily and Tom got into a heated argument.


Speaking on Good Afternoon Britain, Emily said: "I'm judging by our inbox a lot of people think that you are absolutely ridiculous on this issue Tom."

Tom said: "I think that I am the only person standing in the moderate place on this. Some people go crazy on either side of this debate, I think being unnecessarily rude to trans people and calling them he if they want to be called she is rude and wrong, but equally I think talking about throwing people into the back of the van is wrong."

Emily explained: "Previously you have argued something quite radical, and you said if you are a transgender woman and happen to be petite they can play in all sports."

Tom said: "I've just been quoting the guidelines on this." Emily added: "Well the guidelines are shifting a lot aren't they."

Tom explained: "One of the rules for example with swimming, that was celebrated by people on the gender critical side of the debate, is that people who go through male puberty can't swim on the female teams.

"Now, there are some trans women did not go through male puberty so even with the new rules, they can swim in those teams."

Emily said: "I just don't think that you can mansplain this issue. This is an issue for women"

Tom quipped: "Well now you are sounding like a leftist, from the early 2010s using words like mansplaining."

Emily shouted: "No, I am not sounding like a leftist. I just think that you don't know what you are talking about.

"You live in a fairyland and you can completely understand why women are uncomfortable with people who are biologically male competing in their sports.

"And with this row between JK Rowling and India Willoughby it should not be, and I'm sure that JK Rowling will not get found guilty, it should never be against the law to misgender someone."

Tom said: "Well what a moment of glorious agreement.

Emily smiled and added: "That is something that we do so well here."
