The recent trans, toilet ruling, has it helped?
Not really. If anything, it’s made the debate pretty toxic, and intentionally or not, it’s thrown trans people under a bus. Basically, if you were born with a nunu, you can call yourself a woman, and the law will see you as a woman. If you’re born with a willy, you’re a man. And that’s it, black and white. Okay, that’s pretty clear and unequivocal. However, for the best guess absolutely maximum 262,000 trans people in the UK, half of one per cent of the population, that’s a bit of a problem. Let’s just repeat that, an absolute maximum of half of one per cent of the UK population. It’s worth saying that even the Office of National Statistics thinks that might be an over estimate. Talk about using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Because as clear as it may be for the vast majority of people, for the trans community, it just isn’t that clear. Imagine being born male or female and simply not identifying with that gender. For trans people, that is their life, and it is very real. Anyway, zoom...
