Seeing as you speak out of it so often I'm surprised you're not as eager to get into them.

Whatever.

I don’t make observations on London life. I have no current experience. I have never commented on the Mayor for instance. My comments are about life in general.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

And others' comments are based on many years personal experience. Doesn't that make them more valid?

RIP for your friend Tim, that's not a happy story.

Interestingly enough, whilst I continue to vehemently argue against it, I am not adverse to considering examples such as the one you have described to have some credence.

What I do object to however, is when something which may seem like a '1 in x amount' absolute rarity suddenly becomes some sort of mainstream movement and the efforts to understand it become obfuscated by political dogma promulgated by failures who want things such as gender neutral changing rooms and toilets just so they can alter the world ever so slightly to justify their inadequacy. What's even more shocking is not just the imposition of this bonkers ideology upon adults but children too.

You have presented your friend as somebody who just wanted to gain an understanding or solution to their questions/problems etc. without any other motivation. Anybody in that cart I would only wish the best for them and of course support. I really do think the somewhat pseudoscience behind this is terrifying too, it is to a certain extent experimental and Mengele-esque. Having spent much of my childhood on Stanstead Road (Forest Hill end) and playing home matches at the Power League on Sunday, I would however still be inclined to think living in Catford can be more detrimental to both physical and mental wellbeing.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

This is just one of many sites giving roughly the same figures. I just googled trans suicide rates. If the families of people wanting this procedure haven’t done their due diligence and tried to dissuade the individual in any capacity then get a mirror !!!

They don't have one, and they lost their dog to cancer three months ago, and he certainly wasn't. Why do you ask?
