I've been learning alot about all this recently through our chats and through Vicky and it seems like maybe the reason people are starting to worry more (mainly women i guess) is because of this whole thing now of a man just deciding he's a woman and that's that, it's not really transsexual like India is though, it's all still very confusing to me tbqh

They are technically more common I believe (although there's so much around this, diagnosis is a big factor, or misdiagnosis, it really is a big issue in itself) and yes we hear more about them for those reasons you gave. But when it's one specific trans person being discussed I don't really see why those things should matter, it should just be the person and their views that are discussed, otherwise it can come over as prejudice. If we're just taking 2 people, Luke A, and India Willoughby, and comparing the attitudes towards them.
