There is a very large trans contingent on line and a large trans lobby. There was no such phenomenon 20 years ago or indeed at any time in the past.
There is no history anywhere of trans people barging into womens toilets or vaginoplasty for men or sex offenders screaming to be sent to the female wings of prisons.
A trans woman was executed in the US recently. This person had raped and murdered a woman.
It's all new. A lot of it seems to have been driven initially by surgical developments.
Gay marriage was different . There have always been gay people at x% of the population. There will always be lesbians.
There has never been a trans population at the current level. Because it's fake.
How do you know?
Do you know anyone who is trans?
Half the board would be out with the torches and pitchforks going by their talk here. And that’s 10-15 years into transsexuality becoming normalized.
What transsexual in their right mind would have had the guts to come out of the closet way back when? In most cases, plain old gay people couldn’t do it (especially in Ireland where it was criminalized).
Surgery, in some form, has been around for decades. Al Pacino even tried to rob a bank in a film 50 years ago to try to pay for sex change surgery as it was then know.
I know one trans person but that has nothing to do with the wider issue. The trans movement is an assault on women's rights. It's also a culture war. Same as guns. Divide and rule.
Surgery has made huge advances in recent years. At the Tavistock, teenage girls with gender dysphoria were fast tracked on to surgery with no therapy offered. Most of them would have been lesbian. This is bullshit.
In the US, trans surgery is a massive moneyspinner.
One of the most prominent trans surgeons in the US is Irish

Julie Bindel discovered that abused female teenagers in Blackpool, one of the poorest towns in England, were a huge component of trans female to male at the Tavistock.
https://unherd.com/2023/01/blackpools-forsaken-children/Blackpool, one of the most deprived parts of England, is rife with child abuse and home to a higher number of convicted child sex offenders than anywhere else in the country. It is thought that predatory men gravitate there to seek out vulnerable children. They don’t have to look far — there are three times the national average of children in care in Blackpool.
Claire, who grew up in Blackpool, is working for a charity that supports female victims of male violence. She tells me that the links between the rise in young females being referred to gender identity clinics and the realities of growing up in places like Blackpool are obvious. She cites high levels of poverty and the normalisation of the exploitation of women and girls in the sex trade.
As a child, Claire, who was raised in Blackpool, was subject to men’s violence and consequently wanted to “opt out of girlhood”. She says: “The option to be removed from the harms of men would be appealing to most survivors. I am furious that we are allowing girls who need care and support to go down irreversible paths.”
