To think that Anne Hegerty was only stating the truth?

On TWS today AH was discussing the gender pay gap. She didn't think that there was an old boys' network nowadays. Paris Lees disagreed.
Anne said 'Well you would know. You used to be a boy.' My jaw dropped.

However rude, she shouldn’t have been removed from the show.

If she was in a debate with someone who had lost a lot of weight and said ‘well you used to be fat’. It’s rude, uncalled for but still, the truth. She wouldn’t have been kicked off the show for that. But for literally saying what Lees birth certificate says, she’s been taken off the show?

She was a bit rude in her delivery, but is it worth her being taken off the show? She has a lot of unorthodox views (like the one that there's no old boys club Hmm) but she has her right to express them. Presumably she was given the job on the show for having those views.

Is Anne a regular on TWS?

Wasn't she on just as a guest yesterday?
