In this podcast it was stated that trans women are women, although trans women are males who perform as women.
Even if a trans woman has his penis removed & remodelled into what may look like a female organ, the trans woman remains a biological male – as he and his doctors must always keep in mind for the benefit of the trans person’s health.
Trans women are therefore not women.
Alastair & Rory seriously undermine their credibility when they appear to believe that trans people are members of their opposite sex.
