Isn't it kinda contradictive of her to call for "aversion therapy" for trans people when she and Stonewall denigate those who call for exactly the same "treatment" for gays and Lesbians ?

This woman is ridiculous! My dear friend had her surgery, she was never meant to be male, it was obvious. If its aversion then why did she have her surgery and then come out as a lesbian? By this crazy woman's definition then my friend was practising aversion to heterosexuality I guess…

and then there's the Guardian artical…that'll be the same newspaper that argued (in an opinion peice by the same woman) that Trannies cant be raped, that they're all Gender Fashists and that they DESERVE to be raped and beaten.The same newspaper that campained for treatment for transexuals to be withdrawn on the NHS.F*cking woman! F*cking newspaper!I've got to ask her: what would she make of me? I am in a long term comited LESBIAN relationship, I refuse to lable myself as a Woman because I view it as politicaly questionable to do so. But then I'm a Trannie and I identified as a Gay Man before seeking Body Modification so therefore I have been a victim of this conspiricy she sees everywhere.She's a f*cking idiot.

"…arguing that sex-change surgery is aversion therapy for gay and lesbian people."Uh, Julie, gay transman here– If I hadn't transitioned, I would appear to be a straight female. So much for your ill-informed theory.

Whilst I understand the anger of some of Bindel's biggest critics, I do find her style and argument incredibly stimulating. The idea that Radio 4 is producing a show of transexualism in itself is a welcomed step forward. Although Bindel's comments should be debated and (in many cases refuted) she would do well to concerntrate her argument on the utter sexism shown towards trans people during the period of change.

"…because I wanted to be a lesbian"Of course you did. We can all remember the exact moment we "chose" to be gay. Stupid cow.

This is such crap… for one thing, her transphobic (see the Guardian article she wrote a year or two back – definite transphobe) theories fall apart given the presence of ts lesbians and gay ts men.

Spot on. In my opinion Julie Bindel is determined to create controversy by any means possible. She's not interested in constructive debate or comment, more a case of "here pigeons, meet Felix" and watching the feathers fly.Effectively collecting a fat pay cheque for making trouble, with a garnishing of schadenfreude into the bargain.
