That's not at all open to interpretation. Hmm

EA gender reassignment category

Is there an official definition of gender reassignment? Because it seems to mean different things depending on who you talk to - some it's facial surgery, others it's breast surgery, others it's surgery on genitals.

told the BBC anything to make the transitioning process "just a little bit easier" was "long overdue and great news".

When rapists, paedophiles and people in prison can obtain GRC, I'm not sure how much easy it can be made.

Just an aside, I was reading a BBC article which has been added to the BBC Bias thread and was interested to note:

'Writer and broadcaster Paris Lees transitioned when she was a teenager. She has not applied for a GRC but her passport says she's female. She told the BBC anything to make the transitioning process "just a little bit easier" was "long overdue and great news".

So Debbie Hayton, Jane Fae and Paris Lees all of whom have being influential & had a lot of opportunities to speak on MSM while being open about being transgender have not wanted a GRC.

Simile - I echo LangCleg 's good wishes to Barracker and Bernard

B&B's facility with words makes me feel that it's money for old tropes for them in many ways...

LangCleg · 21/09/2018 10:27

Metaphors be with you, Barracker and Bernard.

Barracker and Bernard - lol!

I googled hairy little poet tran-i-am (the name of the poet and poem) to try to find the poem as I really enjoyed it

you do not want to know what google throws up when you type the words tran and hairy into the search box
