Piers Morgan names three genders from the BBC’s list of 100 and challenges its defender to explain them. Benjamin can’t define a single one and eventually admits: “I don’t know.” Piers Morgan: I’m not a cis anything. I’m just a man. Benjamin: Well, no, but you’re a cisgendered man. Piers Morgan: No, I’m not a cisgendered anything. Why are you insisting on calling me something I’m not? Benjamin: You can refer to yourself as just a man if you like, but… Piers Morgan: Most people identify as male or female, man or woman, right? Benjamin: That’s right. The vast majority of people. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t other people who identify differently. Piers Morgan: There are 100 different genders on this BBC list, apparently. Two-spirit person, polygender, pangender, neutrois, intergender. Do you know what they mean? Nicole: I have no idea what they mean, and I’m certainly in the community here. What is any of this? Piers Morgan: Do you know what aporagender is? Benjamin: No. Piers Morgan: You don’t know what it is, even though you support what the BBC is doing. This is the public broadcaster paid for by us with the licence fee, now instructing children there are 100 genders they can identify as. You’ve come to defend it and you don’t know what half of these are. Benjamin: Ignorance isn’t a defence. Piers Morgan: You’re the ignorant one, and you’re the one defending it! Benjamin: You’re the one that doesn’t know what it is as well, of course. Piers Morgan: I’m about to tell you. Aporagender is an umbrella term meaning a gender separate from male, female, and anything in between, while still having a very strong, specific gendered feeling. Could you explain that to me? What does that mean? Benjamin: That means someone identifies differently to you, and that’s what’s at the heart of it. Piers Morgan: No, no, no. Can you explain what aporagender is? What is it? Benjamin: It’s not University Challenge. I just told you what it is. Susanna Reid: This is for children, Benjamin. I think it is university level for us to get our heads around 100 different gender identities. Piers Morgan: Benjamin, what is neutrois? Benjamin: Oh, come on, are we going to go through all 100? Piers Morgan: Do you know any of them? You’ve come on national television to defend the BBC telling kids there are 100 genders. I’ve picked three at random. So far, you’ve never heard of them and have no idea what they are. Benjamin: The fact is that people identify in different ways. Children might know they’re different, understand why they’re different, and have teachers prepared to explain it to them. That is a good thing. Piers Morgan: Do you know what neutrois is? Benjamin: Well, I suspect you picked the two most… Piers Morgan: No, I’m literally picking them at random from an A-to-Z list. Do you know what neutrois is? Benjamin: Tell me, tell me. Piers Morgan: Have a stab. Have a stab. Benjamin: Well, okay, I don’t know.
