Apparently it is we that are the problem

I thought that was OK, actually.

Today’s AIBU thread has had a number of posters pop up saying they were sent to view the transphobia but having read the thread, realise that our questions are motivated by safeguarding (and we have plenty of evidence to back up our concerns). Maybe this will send us a few more?

In other news, this was in the side bar - can a subscriber give us a synopsis, please?

What I like about it is (on the mobile site anyway) the little drop in about the trans umbrella explains that trans doesn’t necessarily include SRS.

It would’ve been so much quicker and easier to come on here the other day and tell us precisely why we are wrong.

I hope they open a comments page

You know, I don't think it was that bad.
Because there may be some people who read this line:

Users raised concerns about children who identify as female, but who were born male, sharing changing rooms, shower facilities and dormitories with other Girl Guides.

And then think: Well, those sound like very reasonable questions...

It's good the story is running.

The NSPCC need to be damn careful right now in light of what's happening within the Green Party and the data on unisex vs single sex changing rooms.

That's rather an odd slant on the web chat and the topic plus the questions that were posted...

But, yes, understood that MN posters are wrong.
