I agree we shouldn't be pandering the to transgender lobby, but even more important the surgeries and hormone treatments should be illegal as it smacks of eugenics and medical quackery.

Snip:

Many feminists have been quite rightly critical of the transgender lobby and have been viciously criticised – sometimes physically attacked – for voicing the common sense that just because a man undergoes surgery to make himself look more like a woman doesn't mean that he has magically been transformed into a female.

Biologically he is still a man but with a feminine appearance.

That is a scientific fact and no amount of wishful thinking and media-savvy lobbying can or should change that. If so, I might as well declare that magic exists and pixies are dancing around at the bottom of my garden simply because I say they are.

Transgender issues are a fashion now and if anyone doubts that it should be noted that in 2009 the Gender Identity Research and Education Society reported just 56,000 people might be transsexual. A more than 10-fold increase in eight years is more to do with Caitlyn Jenner's TV transformation and the liberal media desperate for the next minority cause to espous

I doubt the number of "transsexuals" as opposed to transvestites, who make up the vast majority of the male trans, now called "trans identified males" or TIMs, is even that high.
