This is a similar argument that saw Germaine Greer banned from a few speeches in the recent past.

I have to say, I agree with Jenni Murray on this...I see being female and being a woman different too. Of course the same would be true of F to M transitions, as being a man and male are different.

One is purely physical and the other shaped from birth via socialisation which cannot for me just be discredited, forgotten or rewritten.

Anyone disagree?




'Dame Jenni Murray has written of her fury over transgender women who claim the label of “real woman” despite being unschooled in sexual politics after years of living with male privilege.

Stating at the outset that “I am not transphobic or anti-trans” she said transgender women who have not grown up with the “gendered socialisation” faced by girls cannot claim the title.'
