How have you been affected by the Tran's community?

As there are so many posts on here that discuss Transgenderism, has anyone been directly affected by the Tran's community, good or bad?
I'm quite young and only know one Tran's gender person, as far as I'm aware.

No impact to my life which is unsurprising given the small number of Trans people that exist. I have only, personally (and knowingly) known a handful of trans people in my life and they were just people.

One was “difficult” only in so far as she was my ballet teacher and had very high standards!

Also I have been in spaces with more obvious trans people, specifically at some “gay friendly” club nights I used to go to. (And yes trans women used the women’s toilets but on those nights you never saw much respect for sex segregated toilets.)

But that’s it. Non trans people impact me far more, for better and for worse.

But now they will be unable to sack him due to protected characteristics- smart move on his part

Why do you think having a “protected characteristic” means incompetent people cannot be fired? Tell that to every women and / or person from an ethnic minority who was fired for being shit.

True but companies are FAR more cautious where protected characteristics are involved

This is not true and is the kind of nonsense spouted by people who say things such as “DEI hire!”
