I don't dislike India. I think she's very brave and I support her totally in living a happy life as the person she is. However, she is on an "all-female" show when she is actually a trans woman.

Should people who have an issue with this not aim their feelings towards production, instead of India as a person (not referring to yourself obviously, more the likes on Twitter)?

Yes, maybe they should. Maybe if they made the distinction that she is a trans woman I for one would be happy to see her integrated with the other women. It's the insistence that she is exactly the same as me that I object to. As a born female I've been through things she could never know in the same way she's also been through things I could never know. We're different. That doesn't mean I don't consider her, or anyone else, an equal, regardless of their gender.

And for the record... the comments on Twitter are ****ing dispicable. But like I said, India's strong and I'm sure she's heard it all before.

Ok but why does it bother you that she's "different" from you and has has not had the same experiences as you. EVERYONE on planet earth is different from one another and have gone through different things. Would you say that women who can't have periods or are infertile aren't "real females"? OF COURSE NOT!! I'm sorry to say but your argument it absolutely ridiculous, pointless and nonsensical.
