I’ve taken a ‘can see both sides of the argument’ position in terms of the feminist vs trans discussion. I think it’s become ridiculously polarized especially online.

I’m definitely of a generation where men dressing up as women was considered comical, and the trans movement has caught some of us by surprise and challenged our own beliefs. I’ve always enjoyed Paolo Bandinis work as a journalist especially on Italian football. On recent podcasts there was a journo called Nicky Bandini speaking with an extreme falsetto voice, I was extremely confused and did an internet search and she had indeed transitioned a few years ago. An interesting story and she must have quite a few stories to tell about how difficult that must have been in the laddish world she was working in.

I think what people don't realise is the time and both physical and psychological issues that transitioning involves.

This is very different to someone choosing to identify as x or y.


My great nephew is 9 and from a very young age has been more interested in dolls, such as elsa from frozen and mermaids, than 'boy toys'. Whether this leads to him identifying as female who knows.
