Really what's the big deal if a transwoman uses the women's toilets or changing rooms - they are women after all!

Can you not possibly imagine how hard it must be to be born into the wrong body? Imagine the pain and distress that must cause?

I have a friend who is a transwoman and she is the kindest most gentle soul you could ever meet so hearing her being referred to as a bloke in a dress or that she has a perverted fetish is just heartbreaking.

Can't we just show a little bit of empathy for these people who have been through so much pain already?

One of the reasons it's been on my mind is my 85yr old good friend's granddaughter, who described herself lesbian in her teens, has more lately declared herself male and has recently had surgery to make the transition to male. She still is attracted to women obviously.

Sad

Must be hard for your friend to be powerless to do something about this. Flowers
It is horribly unethical that they don't even take comorbidities into consideration before medically transing a young adult.

I bloody hate all this. It's bollocks. These are MEN with mental health problems and it's not intolerant, it's not being part of a damaging male-led conspiracy

Amen to that
