I'm a woman in my 60s & have no issue with trans women using our toilets.
Knew a young man many years ago who committed suicide age 24 because of the vitriol against him (he clearly wanted to be a female...we all saw it from age 4)

Irony is if UK becomes a REAL Christian nation we will welcome the boats & refugees.

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion.
