Amazing the lengths some people (who if they tell the truth, will admit they are uncomfortable around transgenders and are against them because they are different), incredible the lengths these kind of people will go to to discredit transgenders and try and turn people against them.

Lauren is being completely genuine.I am transgender myself and know a lot about the medical reasons why we are trans which these kind of people never check out.I also isolate myself from the world, have my curtains drawn all the time, only go out for GP appointments or once a fortnight, sometimes a month to a month and half between to see my one friend, and I have no family,because my dad beat me up because I was different, so spend every Christmas on my own.

I've been surrounded by gangs,had abuse hurled at me when I've passed people in the street,I've had a gang try to break my door down at the last place I lived and I know a trans person near me who had a petrol bomb dropped through her letterbox which she manged to stop before it really set light to things and spread.And Lauren's had something thrown through her window.So the abuse out there and the need for us to stay in most of the time to try and avoid that abuse is very real There is no way Lauren is faking it
