There has been some weird stories in the news these last 2 weeks since I last posted, I am going to discuss some here as well as some very good news for our brothers and sisters in Germany.  I didn't post last week as my PTSD has been acting up as it usually does this time of year. Girls who don't like dolls are treated as Transgender? Dr David Bell, the NH Trust's former governor says under Stonewall's influence, clinicians believe it is the "only acceptable explanation" writes the "Telegraph". I'm sorry but what? I know some women who didn't like dolls as a kid but are lesbian's and some that are happily married to men so cis not transgender. This is just utter rubbish by a very transphobic newspaper. All they seem to do these days is attack transgender people for being who we are. Twitter Madness This was posted on twitter after President Biden honored transgender people killed in the US by stating "each of these lives was preciou

 Today is Remembrance Sunday, a day of remembering our Honoured Dead. While I agree this is important we also have to remember the civilians who also died in war, let me give an example. While serving in Northern Ireland when I was in the British Army I was stationed in Omagh in 1998. One day in August I was visiting a computer store at the top of the main street in the town to get some parts for my PC. That day is also a day I will never forget. The Real IRA detonated a bomb not 500 yards away in the middle of the high street. It killed 29 people, including a pregnant woman and injured over 300. It was the worst bombing by the Real IRA in the troubles. I was unharmed, but as a serving soldier and a first aider I went to the site where it exploded. The images I saw that day still haunt me to this day. So while we do remember the service men and women who has died for the service of there country, lets not forget the civilians who died also. LEAST WE FORGET.

Tory Corruption The Tory party went to a new low last week, one of there MP's, Owen Patterson, was found in breach of ministerial code by the independent watchdog for these type of matters. The government then put in a motion, that passed thanks to the massive majority the Tories currently enjoy in parliament, to change the rules and re-instate the MP. Owen Patterson did the right thing a day later and resigned thanks to the back lash this prompted. Even worse, the ministers then said they should change the watchdog. Sorry but isn't the watchdog in place to keep MP's in line, yet when they disagree with a result they want to change the watchdog. Talk about corruption at the highest level. Even worse, there is a debate in the house today about what went on, and the PM will not be in attendance. Sorry but he is always available for a photoshoot or somehting like that but when he us under fire he disappears. The PM must go. IF he can not face criticism then he does not deserve

Transphobia seems to be on the rise in the UK. As someone who was born in the 1970's I lived through the Section 28 dark days when I was at school. There was no education on LGBT when I was there and as someone who knew she was in the wrong body I thought I was just weird. Obviously I know know I was a transgender person but it would have been good to know what a transgender person was even when I was struggling though childhood. Now there is a fight for Trans Rights going on in the UK, and the MSM seems to have taken on the side of we don't have any rights. Sorry but trans rights is basic human rights. I know what it was like to struggle when I was younger, I had to join the Army to get away from it, but obviously that didn't help as the forces at the time was just as bad as civy street. I had to wait until I was 45 before I felt confident to come out as my true self, a Trans Woman. There is currently a law being drafted by the government that makes "conversion therap
