Really interesting analysis of her attitude. Must confess that I have never heard of JB before...

The question that pops into my head is does she only hate MtoF transgendered people or ALL transgendered people?  And does she not consider being born into the wrong gender and going through the whole transition process in a society like ours, fairly oppressive in it's own right?

Maybe submerging herself in the nasty undercurrents of exploitation and abuse has messed her head up, but I don't view women as automatically being victims purely on account of gender, oppressive though society can be.   And you are right to say that her influence is dangerous in terms of further oppressing and discriminating against a group that I think could do with far more support than it currently gets.

It's hard to discern her attitude to ftm TGs as she ignores the issue entirely. Stephen Whittle (prominent ftm) was one of the panel and she was quite happy to discuss generalities with him, but never engaged on ftm specifics.
