[TheGodmother]

Have a look at the comments on their Facebook page! Trans peak?

The comments in Facebook are encouraging, anyway.

Link not working for me?

The photograph kind of says it all...

The comments are very encouraging. The media may have got on the band wagon but the man (or woman) on the street obviously sees things more logically.

Only caught the tail end of this on GMB. Is this person suing a railway company for accidental misgendering?

Ok, those comments made me laugh. In amongst the wit about Southern Rail, the comments basically show lots of people saying "Wear what you want, but I can't help noticing a man is a man"

This is on now on This Morning...

This will not go well for Katie I feel...

How can TM have that woman on who felt like she was black, and yet take this seriously?!

Complaining that they were called sir while wearing pink. The horror.

Katie is cross because Katie had a blush pink skirt and scarf on, and yet was still called 'Sir'.

Has a very busy social life, so misgendering by stressed working class people is really awful.

I think even Phil is thinking WTF.

Caroline Darrow mentioned now.

*Farrow

"It's not about the compensation"
Nah it's about getting on telly and being validated.

This will peak trans more people.

I really do feel so sorry for the transsexuals who have been living their lives the best they can and under the radar for years.

Misgendering is NOT discrimination, its just telling the truth!

Phil is peaking...

Oh God, they are apparently reading out comments on this later. I wonder if that will actually happen.

Absolutely agree Rocky. Trans people will also be the ones that suffer from this, there are some that are making the effort to push back against the unreasonable TRAs and I fully support them in that. They have the right to go about their lives peacefully.

That was interesting from Phil, who seemed to have a spark of understanding that it's not just about allowing 'honest mistakes' but that it's also allowing for complete disagreement.

The rail staff can't win, really. The chances of getting socked one if they call an ordinary boring long-haired man 'miss' or 'ma'am' are probably quite high too.

They are going to need to call everyone something neutral like 'customer' or 'chum' (and deeply offend my mother who bristles to her full 4 ft 10'' if someone fails to call her madam).

Oh dear, I think the comments will upset them more, judging by Facebook!

It is frustrating, do they really think people can only tell what sex someone is by what colour scarf they have on?!

Are they right about 2010 act?

I wasn't expecting Phil to take that position, even though he did go to great lengths to prove he was an ally. He's usually more on side than he was in that interview. Katie actually seemed more reasonable and balanced by the end of the interview to be fair to her.

for context, Katie Yeomans discussing transition process.

2014 Went to a fancy dress party and 'dressed up as a girl for a laugh', 'never dressed before' had some nice comments, thought about how 'nice' it was, a few weeks later saw GP who referred to Gender Identity clinic!
