..I think for me, posting this story is less about this particular incident and more to discuss transgender in general..whether someone is considered a male/female, when going through the transformation in such simple things like which loo do they use...when I post news stories in serious debates, sometimes it's because they interest me or are generally 'newsworthy' and sometimes it's just things I hadn't thought of that maybe are part of some people's everyday lives and I feel, maybe I should think about them more, so am always interested in other people's views etc...I don't think this was a National news thing but something just in the local student news (I got it off another site) and until Luke became a HM in BB12, I hadn't really thought much about transgender..it's interesting and thought provoking as well with the 'sexuality' thread...because lots of people struggle so much with having their sexuality 'accepted'...it's very sad and shouldn't still happen in 2013..but 'progress' seems to be very slow in these things...

EDIT:..oh, I should say as well that whatever the specific story..abortion, capital punishment etc..I know these things have all been done before but it's still nice to get a general discussion going....
