I suppose it will be a PR job for the TRAs.

Thanks for the tip off - watching now. Let's see - I'm not too hopeful our concerns will be addressed tbh.

I don't think I can risk my blood pressure by watching it! Relying on this thread for the lowdown first!

I've got to "get with the program". That's what I have to do, apparently.

71 genders on that fucking wall, and I did not see "woman" there.

These mothers being interviewed are great, though- are they three of us?

No, children don't 'settle into a binary.' They ARE a binary.

They are girls, or they are boys. Regardless of feelz.

No woman or man. Just cis.

@Doobiegetta, was going to say the same thing!

I'm quite happy for people to identify as two-spirit or whatever they like, but did I hear right that those 71 genders cover 1% of people? So presumably a lot of other people identify as a "woman" or a "man"?

Are there any 15 year olds who aren't INTENSE? Isn't that the whole point of being 15?
