Genderquake: The Debate is part of a wider season on gender and will discuss topics including what defines our gender identity, how that affects our rights, should it be easier to change gender and does gender matter anyway?
The studio discussion will be hosted by Channel 4 News’ Cathy Newman.

There will also be other panellists and speakers with a wide range of views, Channel 4 said.
Shaminder Nahal, commissioning editor at Channel 4, said: “This debate will stimulate important and insightful discussion with a wide variety of views from the panel and audience.
“Issues around gender now have a prominent position in the national conversation, with strong feeling on all sides.
“Channel 4 is well known for exploring challenging and emotive issues in a fair and balanced way, and with this programme we want to help audiences understand and engage in these multi-faceted issues.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
