Do you think this is a good appointment?

Thanks for that info Far shocking but not surprising. When will we wake up to the real danger these radical trans activists represent?

It's so strange that people who consider themselves to be real women, would think of making threats of rape.

I'm assuming those are the people making the threats a I don't think non-trans men would feel so strongly about that subject.

lemon grove - you are so correct - this is an issue that does seem to unite all women. I have friends & family from all political persuasions and we all (including the men) agree that the vociferous transgender lobbyists could threaten women's safety in so many situations. But why can't the politicians see this?
As for Lily - he's a bloke and shouldn't be a women's officer - I don't care what he self-identifies as - he's got a dick so he's male.
My sympathies lie with the incredibly small number of real transsexuals who are trying quietly to change gender and live their lives.

Ah but when you have a deep hatred of women, threatening to rape them is exactly what you’d do isn’t it - and it’s the hatred of women and how they have improved their lot that drives these people. Rape is the supreme expression of hatred, power and contempt - both against men and women.
