I'm pretty sure trans people are already aware of this, all it really achives is rubbing salt in the wound, it's like going up to a bereaved person and saying "By the way, you're never going to see your parents again, did you know that?" It's something they know. Trans people already have to put up with so much ****, does Germaine really think she's contributing anything by telling the world her opinion? What does she gain from it?
