Hi Mumsnet.

It seems every time I am in the news, a MN thread about all things transgender crops up. I didn't see the last one (yesterday?) as I don't come on here very often these days - people who eavesdrop etc etc. I was cooking in a tent in a muddy field all day, having a ball, not googling myself on the internet!

The thread was deleted - which was nothing to do with me, nor my lawyer. The day I call him about a MN thread is the day I pack everything in for good. So far only the Mail and Hopkins have had legal action taken against them, and both for quite serious statements. I'm not rich enough nor quite bothered enough to call him every time someone says mean words on the internets.

ANYWAY. Threads about me tend to get deleted. So here's a new one. Because there are clearly some questions that keep coming up, criticisms that I could answer, speculation I could clarify and untruths that could do with correction.

So I'm taking questions. I'm an adult and I take an awful lot of criticism and unkindness online, on the chin. I am pretty mentally stable right now, and feel this could be a constructive discussion.

In order to stop this descending into pandemonium, using general 'chair' rules, to start with I'll take one question from each user - if it's quiet and everything gets answered, feel free to add follow up questions.

It doesn't have to be about boobs, dresses, hormones. Literally ask me anything.

MN - please don't delete this thread. I think people have valid things to say and I'm here with my big girl/boy pants on to hear them.

Over to you.

Hello all,

We've had a few reports wondering if this is Jack - we're happy to confirm that it is. (Hello Jack!)

Since this is looking very much like a spontaneous webchat, a very brief (and doubtless unnecessary) reminder of our guidelines, which are broadly - voice your opinion, but do be civil/polite, and please afford our guests the same cordiality you would if they stopped by your own house. In this manner the discussion will be as useful and enlightening as it can be, for all involved.

Thanks all,

MNHQ Flowers

Evening all

A reminder of our webchat guidelines - express your opinion by all means, but please do show our guests the same cordiality you'd afford them if they stopped by your gaff.

Thanks you
