We expect Paddy Power will welome the publicity but we hope people will remember their contempt for trans women - indeed, for all women - when choosing which betting shops they want to use in future. We also hope it will send a clear signal that transphobia is unacceptable. We at Trans Media Watch are very pleased by this decision.

Using transsexual as a noun (as in "A transsexual lives in my street.") is objectionable to me as a transsexual woman. Dictionaries, or people personally unaffected by the use of the term do not get to decide whether or not it is offensive. Transsexual people do. Zoe may not have said it directly but I will.
