This is a great piece. I've just got one more quibble, though. It wasn't those proportions of the population of East Bristol that were in support of and raising objections to the TRO measures being proposed. Only 4.4% of that area actually responded. The majority of responses, both for and against the particular TROs, were from outside the area. Another really stupid 'consultation'.
Funny how it's the kick in the teeth of women that can get forgotten in discussions over transgenderism. Regardless of how long a bloke has been trying to do the impossible and surgically and hormonally turn himself into a woman, and how much some might admire him for this, he is doing it in vain, and the fact that he doesn't give a damn what a woman thinks of this just proves he's a fucking man. Excuse my French. A nerve was touched!
No problem. I was simply pointing out the difference between those who go through surgery, and those with three days facial growth and wear a skirt, who, to me, at least, are the worst offenders
Yes, I know you were. :) To me the attempt to literally change sex is way more disturbing, but in the end with either end of this spectrum it is the attitude behind it and assumption that womanhood is so easy to mimic through superficial physical alterations that is most disturbing of all.
Note: No rainbow flags were harmed in the generation of this picture. And the cardboard signs were disposed of in the correct recycling container.
I'm pleased you are so conscious of this.

Thank you for the clarity. I'll try to remember that for future reference :-)

You're not wrong, Helen.
