I ended up reading quite a few articles tbh so I did find it interesting what used to go on. The term witch hunt is one that’s bandied about but it was actually a thing. The things people used to believe are fecking insane. Are we much better now?😬😂 Yes there are some people who believe that a person can change sex . Incredibly .

I don’t really comment on things like that as I just have no clue about it. The trans thing seems to have exploded in recent years and it’s all very bizarre to me but if they go about their lives not harming anyone and it makes them happy then who am I to tell them it’s wrong. It can’t be easy living that life. I’m really not interested in it. Live and let live the more I get older. Is it a bit like the gay thing from a few decades ago? It freaked people out but it’s not even a thing now. I don’t know I keep my trap shut about things I know nothing about. I make a big enough twat of myself talking about things I think I know about.

You use the right term “ exploded “ almost like it’s a fad or gimmick or a mass hysteria amongst young people who are confused about their identity. The problem is there is harm in stating that a scientific and biological fact is a lie . People cannot change sex and never will be Able to . The analogy to gay issues is false equivalency really .

If NS is the most influential woman in the UK then the country is beyond repair. And, Body Shop? The same Body Shop that ripped off its entire brand and lied about charitable donations… yeah, sounds about right for that hypocrite in Holyrood. If true, one wonders why she can't just be herself on that score? Still I guess if we are only catching up on issues from the 16th century there is a way to go.
