Sue Pascoe, who 4 years ago was Graham, and who said "that while a man, he was the embodiment of the all-action, red-bloodied alpha male."
Of course, by 2015, this evolved to "'It's funny, I'm 55, I am very hormonal, I am going through puberty again which means that I am just getting to my teenage girl years - so watch out world."

Perhaps those teenage girl years have been outgrown now that Pascoe is 58. Here's hoping.

I'm not convinced this will result in a better proportion of those of us who are female being represented though.

Wouldn't it be nice if some of the recent 'inclusivity' appointments actually included women? By which I mean, the old fashioned ACTUALLY underrepresented, female type human.

Sue Pascoe was interviewed by Sky News as part of their recent focus on changes to the GRA.

This is her article:
news.sky.com/story/we-need-to-combat-moral-hysteria-over-gender-recognition-11440618

From the Sky TV program:

Sue Pascoe "these radical feminists, they've lost the plot"

There was an extended interview with Sue, (I haven't found it)

But of course, stunning and brave Pascoe gets to say what's what and cunty types need to sit down and shut up...same male shit, different pile.

Pascoe has been really gunning for the Transgender Trend schools pack. Outright falsehoods: telling people it is conversion therapy for LGBT generally. It concerns me that a pack focused on correcting safeguarding issues in packs like Stonewall's is being attacked with outright untruth by someone who is now advising a major TV channel, and who seems to be taken seriously and given a voice by many within the Conservative party.

Pascoe who said on Sky the other day that radical feminists “have lost the plot” and that it’s not our fight so we should just fuck off.

Pascoe shows that Pascoe has no respect for the old fashioned, cunty sort of women in the way Pascoe talks about us.

The world is going backwards for women. At an alarming rate.

Funny how they are always 'going through puberty' - never going through the menopause....

Yes, funny that...Hmm

stillathing · 09/08/2018 14:30

How about:
"It's funny, I'm 15, I'm going through puberty which means I'm attracting huge amounts of unwanted comments and touching from men far too old for me to be interested in them. My mum says I need to watch out in the world, and I should stop wearing such revealing clothes".

Imagine if a 55-year old woman described herself as being like a teenage boy. Just imagine.

How many employers would be falling over themselves to offer her a job?

In my teenage girl years I was "fat ugly & specky" going by what was often shouted at me by randoms - strangely enough I'm willing to bet this is not the kind of teenage girl years that one had in mind....

...What is the world meant to be watching out for, exactly? I'd rather not, thanks.
