'If you've got a penis, you're a bloke': Newly-elected Perth Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas is blasted for 'repugnant' comments on transgender people

TV star-turned Perth Lord Mayor, Basil Zempilas, has been condemned for his 'insensitive' opinions about transgender people.
The breakfast host, 49, who was elected in mid-October, told listeners of his radio show on Wednesday that it was 'wrong' for a person to identify as a gender that was not the same as their physical anatomy.
'If you've got a penis mate, you're a bloke. If you've got a vagina, you're a woman. Game over,' he said.
Mr Zempilas, a former Weekend Sunrise host, was encouraged to undergo transgender awareness training to assist in his role serving the broader community. 
Hunter Gurevich, who chairs TransFolk WA, described the comments as unacceptable and 'repugnant'. 

'These comments are repugnant, bigoted, narrow minded, parochial and fundamentally deny contemporary science,' he said. 
'Further, it puts LGBTQIA+ people at increased risk of harm, when we are already a vulnerable group in society.
'It is especially disappointing when The City of Perth has long supported the LGBTQIA+ community of Perth.
