@MadBadDaddy Everyone is someone's bad guy, but it must be especially hard if you're trans and the TRAs hate you.
I don't believe Willoughby has had an epiphany on self-ID. Willoughby's views on pre-op trans people were too strong and dismissive for that:
Unless you are transitioning, stay out of the ladies. Pulling on a frock as and when the mood takes doesn’t cut it. You don’t have a God-given right to go into female-only spaces.
That might make some dressers cross, but it’s the truth. As much for your own safety as that of transgender women. The word has been hijacked. The last few weeks have been ridiculous. Child-killer Ian Huntley reportedly saying he’s trans. A sex-offender on the run who dresses now and again described by cops as ‘transgender’. A white woman claiming to be black who says her struggle is identical to that of transgender women.
No, no, no.
I’m fed up of being expected to bite my lip out of solidarity, while arguments rage about why men who dress up should have all the rights of transgender women. They shouldn’t. Transgender has become a horrible, vague word that makes no distinction between someone with a medical condition requiring intervention, and a bloke who likes to frock-up once a week.
