Thanks. Thanks for joining us. What does the ruling yesterday mean to you
0:05
To me personally, it's a disaster. I've got a gender recognition certificate
0:14
has indeed one in every 12,000 people in the country today. And it's effectively meant that my gender recognition certificate is pretty much worthless in some respects
0:27
It still gives me the ability, if I wanted to remarry, I lost my partner last year, to remarry in my correct gender
0:36
It certainly gives me the ability to die as a woman. But I'm kind of sexless because the fact is I've got a gender recognition certificate
0:50
I've also got a female birth certificate. I am legally female. I've had surgery, I've had lower surgery
0:59
but in regards to the Equality Act, I am considered a man
1:03
Steph, do you accept that some women felt as though their identity was being erased
1:10
that the balance wasn't being struck between transgender rights and women's rights
1:15
We spoke there in the introduction about the NHS. I mean, how many times was things like cervix haver, chest feeder
1:22
these sorts of words The worry about transgender people even rapists being in female prisons and the like The concern over changing rooms and sports and so on Can you see that for
1:37
a lot of women, they were deeply concerned about those issues? Can you name me a trans woman sports person
1:45
Well, we actually covered the two transgender women who won a pool tournament very recently
1:52
I can't remember their exact names. In America? So what is your point here, Steph
1:57
So you don't think that it's an issue that transgender people might enter female sports and dominate
2:05
Well, we're already banned from all the sports in the UK, pretty much
2:11
You know, if there's a sports issue, it's not in the UK. And you mentioned about hospitals
2:16
hospitals well translucent has done three different investigations with requesting NHS foundation
2:25
trusts if they've had any complaints about trans women in female wards we have made 282 freedom of
2:36
information requests covering a period of three years and three months and we found just one
2:43
complaint now bearing in mind that six million women go into hospital every year
2:50
that perhaps shows you that in actual fact there's not an issue in hospitals
