This woman is an old fashioned London femininist. Views such as hers are not uncommon, though not mainstream.
This link, she explains some of her views. They portray a difficulity for her to integrate her tolerance for homosexuals along with the campaigning positions that entails, Iran and so on, with Transgender people.
Perhaps, not so much bad as misguided. Though it does suggest, much like many London liberals, that her position on homosexuals is based more on adopted dogma than intellect.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2007/aug/01/mytransmissionThe real problem with people like Julie Bindel and others of her ilk is the hijacking of groups which the Transgender community need, other gay rights groups.
It may be time for the transgender community to separate itself from the gay rights movement and establish itself as a legitmate stance for individualism.

As a comparison, her stance of prostitution might also be interesting.
It isn't really anything to do with TG of course. But since it is the choice of some women, their right to make that choice would presumably be something Julie Bindel would support.
The conditions for those forced into prostitution is disgusting and wrong. There can be no doubt about that. But is it any more reprehensible for those women forced into factory work, or any other type of work?
