I've read a few articles about him and that seems to be more or less how it is. He's married with children. He's Philip Bunce most of the time but it depends on what he feels like when he gets up in the morning. Some days he decides to be Pippa and on these days he puts on a wig and a dress. Nothing wrong with that of course. But on these days he uses the ladies room despite having a male body, and he's just been given a place on an awards list for female executives.
Sometimes I go somewhere and the men's room is out of order, and a dude will be in there, and there will be the slightly awkward "Sorry! I'm not trying to be a weirdo, the men's room is just down!" mini-convo, and it's more funny than alarming, so if this individual goes in the ladies room when he's having a "wearing a dress" day, that doesn't bother me.
The whole "given a place on an awards list for female executives" thing really is obnoxious, tho.
The twitter comment that said:
As a transsexual woman with a recognised medical condition, who fights for credibility every day, who fights myths every day, who’s undergone lengthy surgery, who’s life was unbearable in the wrong body, I find this story an insult. Transgender has become totally meaningless
...makes a lot of sense, and I've heard similar sentiments from other transwomen in regard to the general behavior of people who crossdress here and there, mostly whenever it's most convenient, and with no respect for the lifechanging and traumatic experience of...
actually transitioning out of necessity.
I like drag queens. All the ones I've ever known irl were really awesome people.
That behavior described above is really not cool, though, and surely exceedingly rare, just like I suspect transwomen entering "women's" sporting events is really rare, but because of the "went through male puberty" athletic advantage, it needs to be addressed with policy, because it only takes one per sporting event for "women's sports" to be decimated.
