And where did Patricia Hannah-Wood, a trans woman, suffer this "abuse"?

In the loos, apparently. The women's loos, I assume.

I wonder what the nature of this alleged abuse is? A woman expressing her discomfort with having to share a female-only space with a male-bodied person?

But as we have been told, there is no conflict between women's rights and trans rights, so...

I wonder, on a scale of 1 to 10 - what was the level of abuse that this Councillor received, compared to that which Rosie Duffield has received?

I am always interested to know what the actual abuse was. The bar for harm and abuse is so low that it has now become a bit like the boy who cried wolf.

I turned the radio on halfway through Patricia’s. It was confusing to say the least as joining after what I presume was an introduction explaining, and with not picture to show that P was wearing stereotypical women’s stuff all I heard was a man’s voice, complaining about being subjected to abuse in the women’s loos.

I wonder if someone said "this is the ladies' loo" to the councillor in question.

Someone probably mentioned a cervix.

I'd also be curious to know the details. Funny how often they're left out and considering how often I've seen baseless accusations on this subject, I think we need to know exactly what was said.
