There is a companion graph, which I’ll post when I find it again, which summarises the same Yougov survey taken a few years ago, in which a lot more of it was green. The direction of travel is going the right way, have no fear of that. Peak insanity probably passed a couple of years ago, and the many court and tribunal cases flooding the courts now are the result of the tide turning and people deciding they’re no longer putting up with illegal activist HR policies in their workplaces.

This is all new territory though Chris. Any norm from before does not count now. Lets face it the social media culture has not even reached its silver anniversary yet and I do not think there has ever been a time quite like this

It was simple, he would dress as a man and I would call him Michael. On the days he dressed in women’s cloths, I would call him Michelle.
It was fine, it was all very amenable but he was a bit highly strung…to be polite.
He once came home in tears because he was thrown out of a night club for being in the women’s toilets……….can you imagine if that happened now.
The problem then, is the problem now. He looked and acted like a very camp gay man….and not a woman.
Back in the day it was clear.
We had Trans-sexuals, men who wanted to be women and will do the surgery to get there.
And Trans-vestites , men that wanted to be their mother.
Drag queens, gay men for which just being camp wasn’t enough.
And Auto gyno-Philes (to be fair they weren’t called that then). Men that want to dress in women’s clothing because they get a sexual kick out of it and by people looking at them, and there’s nothing stopping them getting a sexual kick assaulting women.
And now all these variants are now just called “Trans”, and we’re expected to treat them all the same.
This is the problem.
A trans-sexual just wanting to live their lives are most likely not a danger to women or women’s spaces. I wouldn’t say the same for some AGP’s
The trans in women’s sports, could come under a whole new category, I think the term is “cheat”

My born female second child come out to me as trans a couple of years ago. With everything in there life and the conditions they suffers I have no doubt in my mind they are just massively confused and do not fit in with the world and looking for answers. The medical profession I hold to blame for this as they are less than useless.
I love them and accept them for who they are but I know it is not really them but the conditions and pray one gets the help they need
Thankfully they accept I am old and do not fit in now and does not blame me when I make mistakes in speech. Thankfully it does not happen often.
