Later she says “Women are facing serious dangers, not during boxing matches or from trans people needing a piss but from actual violence that is carried out against them every week.”

“I have a lot of trans people in my life that I care about,” Nash said. “This feminist-trans ‘debate’ – it’s not a debate to me. A friend of mine was the victim of a hate crime last year. I took the ruling very personally.” 

Nash first came to the public’s attention with her 2007 debut album Made of Bricks. Last year she released her sixth studio album 9 Sad Symphonies. Nash has also found success as an actor appearing in the TV series GLOW where she playing Rhonda Britannica
