Human Rights Activist Miranda Yardley says the “ideological concept” of the trans woman exists “solely to conceal the fact that someone is a man.”

Ms Yardley argued against the need for preferred pronouns, which are usually viewed as inclusive, and welcomed by the trans community.

“The whole idea of transgender is wholly a political position,” Ms Yardley told Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi.

“It is a use of language that is an attempt to conceal from the individual.

“To take that individual, and plant in peoples minds that the person they are talking about is in some level a woman, and to therefore effect the way that people see that person.”
