No skirting the issue

AS A transgender person, i think Andrew Pierce writes a lot of sense in his attack on the transgender lobby (mail) — but please don’t confuse these social revolutionaries with everyday transpeople.

THE RAF’S politically correct plan to scrap the skirt as parade ground uniform for servicewomen isn’t something desired by transwomen. Anyone who knows a transwoman will know that she dresses much like other women, and if a skirt is the uniform, that’s what she’ll wear.

undoubtedly, toilets can be a problem, but the British way of muddling through is far better than either rolling out genderneutral toilets or the harsh bathroom laws that conservative u.S. states are passing.

in north Carolina, for instance, a postoperative transsexual is required to use the public toilet according to what was originally on their birth certificate!

the transgender lobby is actually a part of the Frankfurt School of social policy which dominates politics, the media, education and the public sector. these are the people who gave us the sort of multiculturalism in which the harshest interpretations of islam thrive in our cities, while a Christian can’t wear a crucifix.

Please reject these fanatics and treat transmen and women with courtesy, compassion and good old common sense.
