TV presenter Davina McCall has re-entered the gender wars. Last June, she came under attack from trans activists for daring to call The Witch Trials of JK Rowling podcast ‘balanced and interesting’. After that, she appeared to avoid the trans issue like the plague. That was until the start of this year.

In January, she published a video on her Instagram in which she discussed the problems facing menopausal women. This in itself wasn’t unusual. She has been campaigning to raise awareness of the many issues surrounding the menopause for a while. But this time, McCall was discussing the menopause with Kenny Jones, a transgender man and ‘period campaigner’. Jones claims to be ‘living as a man’ and has undergone various medical procedures, but is still biologically a woman.

It wasn’t clear why McCall decided to talk to Jones. Did McCall’s publicist think that the menopause discussion needed to be more trans-inclusive? If so, that doesn’t make sense for one simple reason. Trans men are already ‘included’ in the conversation about the menopause – because they are actually female.
