How things change! Although irony! "It did [upset me]. Why? I’m a woman, not what [he thinks] a woman! Not a man. A man walked into the room in a dress, and everyone laughed at it.

“I’ve got something called gender dysphoria, which you can only resolve with medical attention. Someone coming in dressed that way, freaks me out.”

"She claimed that she believed that gender fluid people “cheapen” the experience of transgender people.

“For people like me, it’s not a part-time thing and not a choice”, Willoughby said.

“That word ‘transgender’ can mean anything from RuPaul to someone who’s Bob one day and Barbara another day, and I think that cheapens the seriousness of it”."

Funny how times change. Mind you I remember IW being lauded on the ITV Morning Show for having done the hard graft to become a women ugh.

“That word ‘transgender’ can mean anything from RuPaul to someone who’s Bob one day and Barbara another day, and I think that cheapens the seriousness of it”.

Or maybe someone who is in boy mode for lucrative roles and girl mode for hobbies and brownie points.

IW was right actually. But is now captured.

IW is an 'interesting' character. I don't know if they truly believe they are a woman or if that's all an act. Because they seem to go far beyond what most transpeople say and are actually saying they are female. While that's obviously completely incorrect, I can't work out if they know that or are truly that unwell they think it's factual.

Some people are more equal than others of course.
