Interesting article in The Times law section, written by Clare Fielding, a trans woman.

Quite refreshingly they acknowledge that their experience of life is different to that of someone born a girl, and they don’t mind if they are referred to as a trans woman, or a woman. Hopefully someone can share a link to it? Clare is responding to comments under the article.

Just written a comment. Wouldn't it be great if the early transitioners were in charge of this debate for the trans community. It would have been sorted by now
Some of them are the architects of this mess.

At last, some sense! She is a trans woman, not a woman. I'm glad this worked for her and she sounds content in life. But trans women are transwomen not women and when we take that position people can then actually move forwards with tacking the prejudice different groups experience for different reasons.

Thank you for the link Igneococcus. Yes I agree Highame, we need more sensible level headed voices to be heard, who have transitioned but accept reality.
