At work so can't write fully but just listened to this on local radio. Tara Hewitt, presumably a transwoman, has just been given free reign to call the lesbian group opposing transwomen being allowed to use the ladies pond "bigots". Very biased interview with, as per usual, no balance.
Apparently there's something going on with the Corporation of London today "enshrining" the right of transwomen to use the pond.
I'm sitting here with steam coming out of my ears...

I've had an argument with Tara on social media and I would say they have not one single scrap of empathy for women.

People don’t know about trans issues, it’s not that catholics are discriminating against trans people, its just that society is discriminating against transpeople.”

She also claims the bible doesn’t focus on gender.

“With the bible there is more of a discussion on sexuality but God doesn’t have a gender - God isn’t male or female, they are both.

“When we talk about God, he’s above that.”

Tara, who lives in New Brighton, is also a pansexual, which means she is attracted to any gender.

But, although she supports gay marriage and same-sex adoption, she doesn’t believe in IVF.

“None of my views are based on sexual orientation I support love.

“Millions of people share my view but, because they aren’t trans, they aren’t targetted." (continues)

Then it would be sex discrimination for them not to allow females to use the men's pond.

Tara Hewitt is indeed MTF trans and admits that cross dressing sexual fetishists are transgender and thinks that if an MTF has a mastectomy due to breast cancer they suffer more than women do what women have feelings, and suffer, like people?
