Vicky's knowledge on the subject of trans issues was completely overwhelmed by her own personal feelings on the subject.

I do think Mumsnet can be a bit of a hostile environment, I found myself reading alot of stuff there for a period of time but I did have to step away from it. I agree too much of one subject can make you a bit obsessive but I do appreciate her knowledge on it aswell because I wouldn't like to see this (self IDing I mean) be abused by people who are not even trans. It's naive to think that wouldn't happen imo (again not really hospitals just Self IDing in general)
