Today I went to buy some furniture with DH . Found what we wanted, sat in the office with very cheery salesman filling in the order form . At the end he asked if we would add a donation for BBC Children in Need.
I took a deep breath and said ‘ I won’t have anything to do with the BBC because of their stance on transgender issues.’
’Oh right, fine’
when we were leaving, he said to me ‘ do you mind explaining what you mean.?’ So I did, I kept it calm, I just said that the BBC seem to be in favour of the men who want to compete in womens sport, though that is quite unfair, and that they are involved with charities and organisations who think that children should be allowed to have life changing alterations to their bodies.
Cue a good few minutes with him talking about Serena Williams saying any lower ranked man could beat her, and it wasn’t fair not to have women’s sports for women. He said he was going to ‘have a look’ at the sex changes for children, as well.
so I was pleased. A lot of this stuff glides past people who are not directly concerned ( ie most men). Tiny drops of water wear away stone, though.
