I Don't Even Know Where To Start With This!

The most bizarre banner I think I've ever seen

"Transgender father-of-two, 47, awaiting gender reassignment surgery is sent to male prison after being exposed as predatory paedophile who targeted girls as young as six and took upskirt photo of seven-year-old"

It's quite clear this person is a man. Will the achingly right on AB, like Jim and SP (and the Ab Editor) refer to him, and it's clearly a him, as him, or will they get so wrapped up in ignoring the obvious they'll refer to him as her?

The Daily Mail doing what it's designed to do: distract and provoke.
Preferably to provoke a squabble (which it has now done).

And your rational answer is.... ?

It wasn't necessary Pixie, but thank you for the apology nonetheness. I know some subjects can get heated, but I've a thick skin ☺

[pixie374]

Good- and thank you x believe it or not, I am on "both sides", just doubting the ways.

[naomi24]

Google, good. I hope it does provoke a squabble - and more. Someone needs to do it. This situation is ludicrous.

[Mozz71]

There's no easy answer Pix. Like you, I see both sides of the argument, and realise that both parties will never be 100% satisfied with any solution. Compromises need to be made on both sides, and like I said in reply to NJ, safety of others must be of paramount importance.

[pixie374]

Exactly.

[naomi24]

Why should women compromise? What do you suggest they concede?

[pixie374]

I don't think you are asking me, naomi- but will reply anyway.
Women don't have to compromise. In the vast majority of situations, this is not actually a female problem. It tends to come down to men- who will not accept their own, if they dress differently. That's one thing that really needs to be addressed. If it weren't for that, men wouldn't have the desire to invade females, because they are less violent.
Also, there is only a small percentage who genuinely have dysmorphia- so I am not including them. But most do not like their own "stereotypes " and prefer others.
My view... is change the "stereotypes " and stop sterilising people who are individual.
