I’ve learned that there are some brilliant, learned and compassionate people out there, who come at this from all angles. One (purely anecdotal) observation is that the diversity of opinions within the trans-gender population is not remotely reflected in the bit of this conversation most visible at Westminster. The trans community’s opinions are not as homogenous as some reporting and discussion suggest. So here’s a tip for hacks covering this: don’t just book Paris Lees or talk about Lilly Madigan. Ask Kristina Harrison what she thinks. Or Tara Hewitt. Or lots of other people. The same goes for the ‘radical’ feminist side of this: there’s more to it than Germaine Greer. (Though for some media outlets that really should know better, having any voice from that side of the conversation at all would be an improvement.)

Once this gets into the public consciousness properly, there will be a huge backlash.

Brilliant article, the usual vile comments.

Nice that he is asking for the other side of the debate to be aired. This is what we should be pushing for I think.

Oh there are so, so many reasons I am not a fan of St Jeremy - his gender politics is just the latest of his awful policies I don’t like.
