00:00You became unstuck over the questions about the transgender prisoner, the rapist, Isla Bryson.

00:07Why couldn't you answer that question?

00:09I think I was caught up in the...

00:12Will you answer it now, whether you believe Isla Bryson was a man?

00:15Isla Bryson identified as a woman.

00:16I think what I would say now is anybody who commits the most heinous male crime against women

00:23probably forfeits the right to be, you know, the gender of their choice.

00:27They forfeit to be the gender of their choice?

00:29Well, sorry, that's...

00:31That's quite...

00:32I mean, this actually goes to the heart of the difficulty around this.

00:35That probably was not the best phrase to use.

00:37They forfeit their right to be the gender of their choice.

00:40Well, if you rape a woman, then I think you probably...

00:42The debate about whether they should be called a woman or not, probably.

00:45Well, why don't you simply say that Isla Bryson is a biological male?

00:51They are a biological male, but that's about whether...

00:54It gets back into the self-ID thing.

00:56I should have been much more straightforward.

00:58I wasn't.

00:59But that's because of the debate.

01:02We'd lost all sense of rationality in this debate.

01:05I'm partly responsible for that.

01:06That's because of the reality.

01:12Can you speak to me?

01:13I know I love you.

01:14I don't understand.

01:15I know.

01:15We did have a conversation.

01:16I didn't see the computer.

01:16If you two can hear me say that...

01:17You have nonejita, you can hear me.

01:19We do, you can hear me.

01:19But you probably understand each other.

01:20I don't know.

01:20We'll talk to it.

01:21It's a Hollywood...

01:22The lowest way I hand it to be the body.

01:23You're IIN!
