Is this for real? To be clear this is not a trans bashing thread! This man is “gender fluid” so decides almost on a day to day basis which gender (basically shall I wear a dress or men’s suit to work today?) and has been listed in the top 100 WOMEN in finance??
He is NOT a woman, he isn’t even trans, he is a fancy dress enthusiast at best!!!!

So women who have worked hard to become the top of their field will now have to compete with men in women’s only categories too.

This has given me the rage Angry

YABU to take a Daily Mail report at face value

YABU to trot out that boring, unoriginal line

Do you think Pips uses the ladies toilets and spaces at work when he’s Pippa, and the men’s when he’s Philip?

If the former, I wonder if the women he works with are happy...

Well, I shall never appear on said list so I don't give a toss who or what appears on it. They can dress a dormouse up for all I care.

No, but perhaps when male salaries start getting reported as female salaries (and thus the gender pay gap is ‘reduced’) resulting in yet another example of where woman apparently have ‘equality’ and should just STFU, maybe, just maybe, that won’t be A Good Thing.

At this rate he'll be Crufts best in show next

😂😂😂 fantastic, thank you. Made me laugh out loud.

StripeyDeckchair · 22/09/2018 14:07

Totally insulting to all women - somewhere there is a woman that should have been on this list but this man is there instead.
I'd like to see a) the ninety nine other women on the list demand that their name be removed b) any nominees refuse to be considered for the list in future years.

It is a disgrace. The award is for FEMALE executives.. he is not female. Or a woman.

Bunce also has 'interesting' porny hobbies if you want to look up T Girls (be warned). How many women could openly behave like this and have any sort of respected career?

What a f*cking insult

Christ, imagine going into a public toilet and that was the only other person in there? Creepy fecker.

ImPreCis · 22/09/2018 14:57

Hilda I think he is trans though, at least he would fall somewhere on the Stonewall umbrella of 146 varieties of Trans.

Perhaps the GGuides could come on here and explain whether Pips would be able to help out at camp on the days he identifies as a woman and not on the other days.

ImPreCis · 22/09/2018 15:07

Please consider completing this government consultation womansplaceuk.org/wpuk-guidance-on-gra-consultation/

Pips Bunce is the tip of a very large iceberg.

FoxFoxSierra · 22/09/2018 15:26

Yanbu and those who are saying it doesn't matter because it doesn't affect them are spectacularly missing the point

FarrahMoan · 22/09/2018 15:33

I haven't looked at the article but isn't judging successful career women on their appearance a bit anti feminist anyway

FarrahMoan · 22/09/2018 15:34

I've just realised it's not a best dressed list #facepalm

As you were

YABU to take a Daily Mail report at face value

@Gersemi it’s also in The Times

From the article

’In previous interviews, Mr Bunce described climbing the career ladder as a man and waiting until he was “very established” and “quite senior” at the investment bank before starting to cross-dress at work four years ago.’

’This week he was named on the Financial Times & Her-oes Champions of Women in Business list, an annual ranking of 100 female executives who have made a difference to women’s careers”. The organisers run a parallel list of male executives supporting women in business, but Mr Bunce chose to be nominated in the women’s category’.

Thanks for that link Angelo.
It is a massive piss take. The more I think about it, the more it annoys me 😂

It amuses me how the "utterly unbothered" people are usually the first ones to any new thread on this board. Must be exhausting being that unbothered so quickly all the time...
