Paris Lees is a transgender activist in The UK. I believe she was the first transgender presenter for one of the BBC channels and a radio station. The debate starts at 21:47.

There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known. ~Carl Sagan

Both women were very articulate and intelligent and made good points.

However, it was disappointing in that they mostly agreed. The woman advancing the radfem point of view made the point of saying that she personally hasn't and wouldn't exclude trans women or consider them not fully women, so we didn't really hear that side of the debate.
