That Bunce is a classic example of the male autogynephile really is central to a reasoned objection to what he's doing by allowing himself to be a part of this: ultimately he could have stood up and said 'thanks, but no thanks' of course instead this man calls women who disagree with him getting this award as 'sad TERFS'. As it stands, however, the very reason Pippa is what he is, is central to political analysis of why this is such an outrage.
This is exactly the problem that 'transgender inclusion' brings us, because this is a man who associates 'being a woman' with 'looking and feeling sexy'. This is not a personal attack, and it's not speculative, this is an opinion based upon observable facts and the reality within which we find ourselves, that wealthy heterosexuals like Bunce are being centred in a women's award shortlist, talking over and being promoted over women is carbon-copied into the LGBT movement leading to the wholesale erasure of lesbians and lesbian spaces and an attack on women and their boundaries.
LGBT now involves vast amounts of money and part of the reason for this is men like Bunce. It is this money, from the banks and massive international organisations as well as money raised for the benefit of children's charities that is being diverted to support the myth that men can become women, that transgender identity is innate and by filtering it through organisations like Mermaids, GIRES and Gendred Intelligence this has become the most dangerous attack on the rights and welfare of pre-homosexual and gender non-conforming children since forever.
In fact, the unquestioned transing of children and especially young girls by groups like Mermaids, GIRES an GI is probably the greatest attack on the safety and welfare of infant children since King Herod.
One of the biggest changes in the trans community since I came out in the early 1990s is the willingness, indeed encouragement, for occasional cross-dressing transvestites to claim, on some kind of level, to have a claim to some kind of womanhood. These a men, who invariably are a type of heterosexual man displaying autogynephilic sexual orientation (which competes with the heterosexual orientation) just like Pippa confuse 'feeling sexy' with 'feeling like a woman'.
It doesn't take much imagination to interpret Pippa's appearance, indeed his reasoning for his 'gender variance', as a real life display of Pippa becoming the woman he loves. And I think that this is so central to his identity, and presentation, and of course what his colleagues have to endure (imagine being a woman on his team who objects to him claiming to be a woman on the basis of his 'dressed like an explosion in Ann Summers' (c) Lisa Muggeridge now under the threat of being called a 'sad TERF', there goes your career).
Bunce and is sexualisation of womanhood stands for and embodies the sexism and the fetishisation of women and is reinforcing the most damaging misogynist stereotypes of what it is to be an actual woman especially within the industry he commands such a position within, an industry which imposes such demanding dress codes upon women. He does nothing to challenge this, or the male domination within his or any other industry.
For women in finance and any other male-dominated industry, Bunce is the enemy.
