There has been a massive amount of trans hatred online over the last couple of days.

Anyone who denies trans people exist, or want to make being trans impossible, can fuck right off.

Getting your panties in a bunch Josias, calm down dear.

Nah, not really.

Seriously Malc; you should read some of the stuff that's out there. If this continues another trans person will end up being killed.

This is the new world, where trans people are all just pretending. Hence the very deliberate language in the header about “sad trans identified men”. The sneery dismissal oozing out, which reminds me a little of the Russian attitude to “so called Ukrainians” with their pretend country.

It’s like the olden days when being gay was “just a phase”.

Hope this is a sign @Cyclefree is feeling a bit better.

Absolutely, and it's a powerful piece. I feel like I sit at the crossroads on this issue. I have a wife and a daughter and have seen and heard too many examples of men who tret women and girls as chattel. Protecting women from the predatory nature of certain men is something I actively support.

I also have involvement in the trans area. I'm bisexual so I'm part of the LGBTetc community. My eldest (non-binary but biologically male) had a trans boyfriend for a while and they're still close friends. A former colleague and good friend is a trans woman saving up for surgery.

My basic rule with rights is that if they trample on the human rights of other people they aren't rights. I support both the need for female spaces (my wife despises open changing even when everyone has the same genitalia) and to provide dignity and respect for people who genuinely have dysmorphia and are medically working their way through transition.

The problem with the trans debate is the screaming extremists at both ends of the spectrum. Absolutism is usually wrong - issues are not black and white and this one is no different. I do have to float a question though - in the race to be inclusive have we not lost sight of who we are being inclusive of?

I can see a world of difference between people who are seriously and medically altering their bodies to become the gender they believe they really are, and a bloke wearing a frock and a wig. But the trans rights row seems to lump everyone together.

Oh oh, latest news : “Your presence in the UK is not considered to be conducive to the public good... ” — interdiction d’accès.

Queue people who demand the border is controlled and that others get turned away getting outraged that the border is controlled and someone is being turned away.

My dyslexic daughter considers the word 'queue' the most ridiculous word in the language. 80% of it is superfluous.

Not superfluous at all. 'Queue' distinguishes itself clearly from 'cue', 'Kew' and 'q'. So that you can be on cue for the queue to get into Kew Gardens while minding your ps and qs. The alternative is linguistic qaos. And greetings to your daughter.

Jaw-dropping footage revealed by @markwhiteTV today showing what GB News believes to be Sudanese migrants showing off their 4* hotels.

This is a mockery. There are homeless British citizens sleeping rough on the street and economic migrants fleeing France are a priority for our government.

Keir Starmer promised he would end the migrant hotels, yet another failure.

These videos are nothing but an advertisement for others to come to the UK, of which we believe, there are thousands more queueing up.

If we allowed asylum seekers to work, which that moron May stopped, we wouldn't need to host them in hotels, 4* or otherwise.

Truly one of the worst policy decisions of my lifetime.
