Hi I did post a comment to explain that I did not know how to put my name in, but that I am happy to share it. My name is Lesley. I am not any of those individuals you name, simply a lesbian reading on the internet who disagreed with your post. In terms of the points posted above:

1. We all know what a male or female body is. A female body does not have a penis. If you believe a female body has no reality, why do Transgender people say they feel as if they are for example a woman trapped in a man's body. If a woman's body is not recognisable, then neither is a man's. Thus you could not be trapped in a man's body, thus no need for sex change surgery, electrolysis, etc. So no I would never have sex with someone who has a man's body including a penis.

I personally would never want to have sex with a Trans who was born with a male body however much surgery he had. Why? If someone looked totally like a woman - and in my experience this is rare - then I may be attracted to them. But as a lesbian feminist, I have made a decision that I want to spend my energy and time with women - not men and not Trans people. If I was tricked into sex with a Trans man I would be very very unhappy.

2. I would always and have defended and challenged when Trans people are being harassmed. And I support legislation stopping for example Trans people being sacked etc for being trans.

3. I don't understand why your definition of woman, feamle body and a lesbian should trump mine. A Trans person who was born with a male body may self indentify as lesbian, that doesn't mean that I need to recognise them as a lesbian. I don't
