Transgenderism proves people will believe anything

While we sceptics may be constitutionally resistant to deranged popular dogma, we’re still adaptive. We may not believe just anything, but we can get used to anything.

So it’s vital to refresh our astonishment at the widespread adoption of a practice that 20 years ago would have been exclusively pursued by a few lost, misguided mental patients.

The fad for transgenderism is unbelievable and should stay that way. This movement gleefully defies biological reality. Sex is not in the mind but is written in our every cell.

I don’t fall out with mine over it either. The last convo we had was about men going in women’s toilets and he said “why are you talking about men though?! We are talking about trans WOMEN!” Bless him.

I avoid the subject with all of mine. My daughter would probably be amenable to arguments concerning male sexual behaviour (she's had bad experiences with men), but there's no chance of getting through to my sons at present. It's as if they have a religious faith in the reality of gender identity.

Last week I received a big beautiful TERF mug from Sex Matters. I've hidden it in the wardrobe. 😓

My two girls are 'be kinders', we avoid the subject but I buy all my terfy books as proper books and have them on a shelf next to where I usually sit.

I used to like Monbiot until he started continuously criticising LGB Alliance.

I just looked at his website and in the index there's nothing about trans rights or gender
