In one example, an alleged rape of a woman by a trans-identified male took place in a prison yard port-a-loo while another male prisoner stood guard.

School parents join forces to fight ‘trans propaganda’ Jayden Lowe, 18, who took his own life last year BPM MEDIA Sian Griffiths , Education Editor Sunday August 04 2019, 12.01am, The Sunday Times Original article is here For Tanya Carter, a mother of four girls, the death of Jayden Lowe, a transgender teenager who took his own life last year after buying hormone treatment from doctors online, was the last straw.

I have even been verbally abused at work and, in one particularly nasty incident, had my  office door  vandalised. The...
