My son can tell...

Watching 'Inside the Factory' on BBC1 with DS, 10.

Cherry Healy was talking about lightbulbs with Dr Clara Barker, Materials Scientist.

Please note this is not personal in relation to Dr Baker.

Dr Barker is Transwoman.

DS says, 'is that a lady?'.

I say no, it's a man.

We left it at that.

I mean Dr Barker is quite feminine.

But unprompted, my DS knew that Dr Barker is not a woman.

Why should I have to lie to him about this?

I won’t be posting again so don’t worry about trying to justify such views
Don't worry. We already know that you can never define, explain, justify or answer any other basic questions.

I was on a diversity course about 10 years ago, the trainer was male. He said the first thing everyone clocks about another human is their race.

I disagreed, I said for me, it was sex - it's an unconscious, immediate thing, an instinctual assessment and it's there for good reason.
