Sue Pascoe, who 4 years ago was Graham, and who said "that while a man, he was the embodiment of the all-action, red-bloodied alpha male."
Of course, by 2015, this evolved to "'It's funny, I'm 55, I am very hormonal, I am going through puberty again which means that I am just getting to my teenage girl years - so watch out world."

Perhaps those teenage girl years have been outgrown now that Pascoe is 58. Here's hoping.

I'm not convinced this will result in a better proportion of those of us who are female being represented though.

Wouldn't it be nice if some of the recent 'inclusivity' appointments actually included women? By which I mean, the old fashioned ACTUALLY underrepresented, female type human.

Hi,

We're getting a fair few reports about this thread and, as you can see, we've already deleted a number of posts which we felt were breaking our Talk Guidelines.

In an effort to get it back on track (and to avoid any more holes in the thread) we're asking if everyone can please take care when posting. The bottom line is, referring to a transwoman who has had gender reassignment surgery as 'he' is inevitably going to draw reports, so in an effort to create a more civil and mutually respectful conversation, we're asking you to please use an individual's name or initials where possible.

We're doing our best (under rather difficult circumstances) to let these conversations happen - please help us out!

Thank you Flowers
