One of the funniest people I have ever seen. The policies she believes in are Labour party policies. Why shouldn't there be a trans MP?
Given the natal woman we have as PM currently I know which I prefer.
Sigh.
Nobody has said that we shouldn't have a trans MP. We are saying that an MP who insists on using women's facilities, gets minders to keep cavey, (meaning that actual women are inconvenienced) and who shouts at teenage girls who question a man in the Ladies is probably not going to represent his female constituents very effectively.
Wyllow, I agree that the teacher image is irrelevant on this occasion, but not that people are objecting to Izzard because of 'how he looks'. He can look how he likes - in fact when he used to say that he didn't wear women's clothes, they were just clothes usually worn by women, I agreed with him and thought he was trailblazing. Pretending to be a woman is a different kettle of fish though.
