@translucent.org.uk have recently released their latest report. "Sixty-one of the sixty-two Unitary Authorities responded to our FOI request – Only ONE complaint was found." Trans inclusion is a non-issue. It is a manufactured moral panic, which is an anti-rights tactic.

Non-binary is not new. Not a trend. It is not confusion. It is simply another way of being human. Some people live between man and woman. Some identify with both. Some with neither. Every experience is real. Every identity deserves dignity. None requires anyone else's permission to exist. 1/4
