Now, I occasionally object to newspaper articles that portray (what I feel) are a very warped sense of what is and is not acceptable, but that just comes over as a reactionary rant and is full of innacuracies, e.g. Shakespeare and Brown Sugar

Gender dysphoria is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), a manual published by the American Psychiatric Association to diagnose mental conditions.
Rather than a terrifying fear of "wokeness", my biggest issue with our current age is that every Tom, Dick and Harry on the internet has decided, without any actual investigation, that they know more than the collective knowledge of tens of thousands of professionals who have spent their lives dedicated to a particular subject.
Michael Gove said it best "we've had enough of experts". Sadly that is true. The average punter now thinks they know more than scientists about climate change, medical professionals about gender, and racism than those experiencing it.
And that worries the hell out of me more than a few on Twitter getting a annoyed.

I think you guys have all taken his point the wrong way.
Think for a moment of some mental health illnesses, and our thoughts on them in the past.
I’ll maybe be a bit clumsy with my language here but I’ll try and explain.
If you hand a relative that was going a bit senile, or ‘mad’ , that kept telling you all that he wanted to live in a wardrobe because of the fairies that come for him in the night, we wouldn’t go straight to “ok Uncle Bob, no problem, here’s a pillow and duvet for you to get comfy”.
We would look to get him some help.
I think the poster is trying to suggest, is that if someone feels trapped in the body of someone of the opposite sex, that’s a mental issue, and maybe they need help in a similar way?
The thought that teenagers or younger still can decide on their gender just doesn’t seem right.
I don’t think his post in any way can be compared to conversion therapy.

1. "There are only two genders."
2. "There are a tiny number of people who are intersex."
3. "There are only two genders."
It must be great to have no problem whatsoever in holding completely contradictory 'facts' inside your head. It's not so great when you say them out loud, to other people.

That's kind of what I took from it and think some of the reactions have been a bit over the top.

Some of the faux-compassionate "opinions" on this thread regarding trans people make me genuinely sad, particularly the suggestion that it is a mental disorder that needs to be cured (i.e. just like the attitudes to gay people historically); my trans friends have to put up with this on a day-to-day basis from all angles and I can't imagine what it must be like for them.
I've had to put a number of people on ignore already; I would kindly request that this discussion be moved to that to the thread we already have for it so I don't have to see this again.

Yeah, TBF, it is quite a tangent from the topic of The Tories.

The main mental health issues that Trans people face are imposed on them. There is no cure as you say, there is also no treatment regardless of what someone suggests.
For some reason most people think that trans means wanting to transition from male to female, however you have Elliott Page, formerly Ellen Page, and a friend in kirkcaldy who changed their name from Amy to Jude a few weeks ago. These are not what people generally think.
All the talk is about men wanting to be known as women, but that's not always the case.There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

Commons Standards Committee considering a ban on MP holding a second job as advisers or consultants. Seems like a great move. I imagine there’s a lot of MP very worried about their bottom line right now.
