How they want to live their live is up to them and it's only those who are intolerant who feel their opinion matters and should be heard and agreed with. I saw a trans woman once, bigger apple than me. Spoke like my old maths teacher, Mr. Davis. Hands the size of bin lids. I wouldn’t argue with Ms. Davis now to be fair
