Who truly can judge us? If our actions are not aggressive or threatening to others, if we are honest and have empathy who has the right to define us.
If someone defines themselves do I have a right to challenge it? I don’t believe I have.
Do I follow all the tick boxes I was told I am from birth? Nope.
I was born seemingly into the Christian, in fact CofE faith, yet my life experience allowed me to challenge that, and I can honestly say I personally hold no religious beliefs, I now say none, when asked.
I was born into a working class family, and began my working career as a working class man, but through opportunity and luck I changed careers, and was then told I had a middle class career, did I suddenly define myself as middle class, no.
I was defined as right handed, and forced to live as such, but being forced by convention, which I truly was, meant I developed major issues with my abilities such as writing, drawing, painting, creativity and even music. I now though write with my right hand, do not define myself as right handed. I play snooker and pool left handed, as well as shooting a gun and drawing a bow. My right arm is predominant in strength but only because I endured years of hateful teachers forcing my development against my own nature.
So when someone tells me – if they trust me enough to do so, that they are transgender, I accept their word. They are the ones who know themselves, it is not my place in any way to tell them how they ‘should’ or even ‘must’ feel.
So I do not accept that people are only what society expects them to be, I do not attest that it is society’s right to define them. It certainly is not mine.
I do not believe that people can only be what they were seen to be born to be.
I know there will be people arguing over toilets and sport.
The toilet issue is easy, make all toilets (at least those that remain public) like disabled, individual not gender. Disabled toilets mostly are gender neutral. We don’t have an option to complain, because thats just how it is.
Sports,well given I have no interest in any sport,on that I truly cannot comment.

Dear @DWP @keir @rachel @Labour
Dear Department for Work and Pensions – DWP Keir Starmer Rachel Reeves The Labour Party United Nations Human Rights ,
Today I shall be buying Toilet paper, potatoes, corned beef (1 tin), frozen carrots and some onions. This can last me three days if I ration it.
I will use my electric cooker for around 45 minutes. I will drink around 1
5ltr of filtered water (as tap water is now likely unsafe to anyone with a compromised immunity).
I shall flush the toilet around 8 times, this is a reduction because the crohns has been effected by the dihydracodeine and morphine I am having to take because of the pain of having my rib cage separated for heart surgery. Today I may need to eat extra carbs due to my now, diagnosed, type 1 diabetes. On the plus side the medically induced constipation means until the laxatives kick in I shall not need to use pads.
I will need to pay for transport to my hospital appointment in Sheffield this afternoon.
I do not smoke, and rarely drink so no money spent there.
I shall not have breakfast or lunch, as that may be seen as extravagant by DWP assessors.
I will watch streamed tv if I can concentrate through the pain.
I may need to use additional toilet roll due to the emotional pain I am dealing with because my kids have disowned me, because the society you promote sees me as a worthless useless cripple.
I will however endeavour not to spend anything further today, due to the need to save as much as I can because of the very real risk that the government and the DWP will remove all of the money i recieve due to my chronic and life limiting health issues
I sincerely apologise that I was only able to pay into the system for 35yrs, and that despite my paying higher rate tax and all the NI contributions relating to my pay, I have had to by necessity had to claim on the national insurance policy, and that the money being paid to me can noy be now given to arms companies under the guise of foreign aid.
Yours in fear of retribution
