This Morning viewers have torn apart a ‘disrespectful’ guest who snarled at a trans woman after branding sex changes ‘preposterous’.

Things became very uncomfortable on the ITV show, which is being presented by Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, when two guests disagreed immensely in a debate on whether or not trans women should be regarded as women.

Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull appeared on the Friday episode after she was forced to remove a billboard in a transphobia row.

The poster bore the Google definition of the word ‘woman’ and Kellie said that the idea that trans women were women was ‘preposterous’


Kellie butted heads with trans Celebrity Big Brother star India Willoughby, who said the only way she could ‘feel normal is through transition’.



So-called feminist Kellie, who raised £700 for the poster to be put up in Liverpool, told India: ‘You can do whatever you want but not be seen as a woman by law.’

When India explained her ‘gender dysmorphia’, Kellie asked: ‘Why can’t you do [whatever you want] as a man?’

Later when Eamonn read out the backlash that was unfolding on Twitter, Kellie laughed unapologetically.

A viewer tweeted: ‘I am transgender. I am a real person. I am a female.’

‘You laughed at that?’ an appalled Eamonn gasped.

After hearing Kelli’s chuckle, and when the presenter pointed out her shameful snarl, India sighed: ‘It’s absurd’

The former news reporter hit back: ‘I think the world can accept that sometimes biology goes wrong.’

Viewers at home reacted to Kellie’s views:

I'm sad to see this lady (woman) being so disrespectful to India and the trans gender community, I was born a woman but have huge admiration for people that have been brave enough to lead the life they deserve, you are the person you feel inside #ThisMorning — mandy bentley (@eppinglady) September 28, 2018

#ThisMorning To imply trans men or women are ‘delusional’ is disgusting. Women are often seen as a minority in a variety of social aspects including the workplace in a negative way, so why are a select few shunning people, trans WOMEN, subjecting them to the same — Jordan A.

Feminists should be here for all women, not just cis women. Trans women are real women! Everyone is entitled to their opinion but please do not spread hate for the sake of hatred #ThisMorning — Kathleen? (@hummuspotter) September 28, 2018

If your concept of feminism is so easily shattered by the existence of trans women I don’t know what to tell you. Our trans sisters don’t effect my sense of womanhood at all. People like you do by making feminism seem so toxic. It’s about EQUALITY above all #ThisMorning — becca (@beccagoodx) September 28, 2018
