Something I meant to say when I posted that trans petition link
This one - http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/47599
There was an article in the paper which I tried to find online and link to, but couldn't, so I'll just have to say about it.
There is a general perception in society that it's somehow OK to abuse minorities, and according to a piece in Monday's Yorkshire Evening Post (there doesn't seem to be an online version of the article, but it was in the print edition), trans people are the most abused of all, with an average of six assaults in some form that qualify to be reported to the police per day.
That's six per day for the average trans individual. No wonder they have the highest suicide rate...
