A SEX swap instructor at an all-female driving school was left devastated when the Sheffield husband of one of her pupils threatened to sue her firm - for sending a man to teach his Muslim wife.
Emma Sherdley - formerly a married dad of two called Andrew but now legally a woman - has the full support of her boss Joanne Dixon who says she is a popular and respected instructor with 32 female pupils on her books who have no problem with her past.
Emma, aged 42, has a birth certificate and a "gender recognition certificate" to prove her legal status as a woman although she is still waiting for final surgery to make her transition from male to female physically complete.
She says she has never had a problem with any of her other pupils and says the complaints made by the man from the Meadowhall area of Sheffield, were: "hurtful, offensive and deeply upsetting".
She is being backed by her boss, Laugh n Pass owner Joanne Dixon, who says the man had called her to accuse the firm of sending a man disguised as a woman because he was a Muslim.
Joanne, who set up Laugh n Pass with all-female teachers designed to put ladies learning to drive completely at their ease, told The Star: "Emma is a popular and very well-respected instructor.
"That man accused us of being racist, yet his attitude towards Emma showed prejudice of the very worst kind."
The problem began when the man booked a two hour driving lesson for his wife.
Emma travelled from her Holmfirth home to Meadowhall and collected the woman from her home and the lesson began.
But after the first hour of the lesson she told Emma she would have to cancel the remainder of the lesson because she had to go home to breast feed her baby.
Joanne said: "Then the husband rang me and said he was going to sue us.
"He was saying, 'You have sent me a man, send me a proper female, how dare you send a man with a deep voice'. Then he claimed we had deliberately sent a man disguised as a woman because he was a Muslim.
"His attitude and his behaviour was outrageous and has upset me and Emma and everyone else who works here. We are not racist, we are not sexist - if anyone was being so it was that man."
Emma says the outburst had made her seriously consider quitting her job.
But she says Joanne's support has made her determined to ride out the storm and carry on with her career.
She said: "I always knew as a child that I was a woman stuck in a man's body. I tried hard to be a man, getting married and having children, but it never worked and never would.
"For the past six years I have been what is correctly called 'transitioned'. I still have to undergo the final surgery, but legally I am a woman.
"That is what my birth certificate says, that is what the gender recognition certificate proves, and for that prejudiced and biased man to threaten to sue me and the driving school is totally and utterly wrong.
"I currently have 32 female pupils and not one of them has a problem, it is just this one man."
Joanne, who employs 20 female instructors who teach women throughout South and West Yorkshire, says her all female driving school is so popular she currently has 30 people on her waiting list.
She said: "Here at Laugh n Pass we says each of our female instructors promise to be friendly,professional and patient - that is exactly what Emma is and for her to be subjected to abuse and threats is simply intolerable."
What a quandry: is it more important to be politically correct and diversity sensitive to the T-girl or to the muzzie?
ROTFLMAO!!!!
Can we be sure that isn’t John Goodman?
(Sayyyyyy not a bad double triple pun)...
This will make Liberal heads explode! Who will they appease?
In this case, I agree with the Muslim.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet the future of the US.
You know when reading the brief of this I thought a sex-swap instructor was teaching wife swapping. Duh.
So now it’s called sex swap, not.
Egad!
And they sure talk English funny in Britain. I had no idea what a “sex swap driving teacher” was until I got into the article. Something to do with their driving on the wrong side of the road, which makes it easier to have sex while driving?
Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!!!!!!!!!!!!
> In this case, I agree with the Muslim.
In this case, take a cold shower and think it thru carefully, mate.
When was the last time gays or transgender folk drove aeroplanes into skyscrapers, or sawed off the heads of your countrymen on live TV, or blew themselves up driving vehicles into Marine barracks, or strapped bombs to their bodies and exploded killing innocent women and children?
I don’t have any sympathy for homosexualists, but mate give your head a good hard shake. You can negotiate with gay folk. Muslims want to either convert, enslave or kill you.
Your move...
LOL....Battle of the Protected Victim Classes
They must indoctrinate and seduce to reproduce. There can be no negotiation with that cult.
That isn’t a woman. It is a man taking female hormones to achieve temporary physical changes while he waits for surgery to become a mutilated man taking female hormones.
Regardless of the political takeover of the psychiatric profession homosexuality remains a disorder.
This particular, um, person has already reproduced when she was being a he, according to the article.
And anyway, most men wouldn’t mind their wives having a driving lesson with a man, particularly with a really ugly man dressed as a woman. A man who thinks this person is a threat to him must have a really tiny ...
Anyway, most women in the civilized world learn to drive before they’re married.
The Moslems will win. Simple math; more of them, and breeding fast. The LGBTQ alphabet crowd will soon be pining for the good old days in the closet.
Looks like God crossed Alan Hale Jr. with John Goodman and got the fugging ugliest broad this side of a Helen Thomas.
It’s a man, baby!!
Looks like a Benny Hill skit, to me!
Whatever it is now, the only reproduction it will do now is for the cult of homosexuality and transgender studies. It is little wonder the majority of Muslims think the West is decadent and wicked when they see this sort of nonsense. I'm not surprised a Western woman like you would have an affinity for something like this. It is how the West is being lost.
