For the record, I have no problem with trans people. I have a problem with self-identification. It was always going to cause problems and give an advantage to abusers and at the same time make the lives of genuine trans people much harder.

They were just examples that came to mind, probably because I read more about US politics than I do UK stuff.
I am sure you do, and I do think your worry is legitimate, but I also worry about giving ammunition to bigots for issues that aren't as big as they're made out to be because I see it happen time and time again. It's a very nuanced subject and I respect the opinion on everyone I have discussed this with here today. It's too complicated and difficult to not.
