Transgender women and an early state pension.

I am a woman and had to wait until I was 66, it seems to me that men feeling like a woman want to pick and choose the most advantageous bits of both sexes…

Scrounging.

It’s fine: trans women are women.

Should they pay back the extra money they were paid when they weren't women? The 20%+ that goes with the gender pay gap? Or can they identify their way out of that, too?

Are they real trans or just saying they are to get extra benefits?

It's a bit odd. It only applies to people born within a tiny window (7days) in one year. Are real cis women born within those dates entitled to get pension at 65?

It must affect a minute number of people.
(and yes, if it's different treatment from everyone else's, it's wrong)

Didn’t take long for the lie to appear. Transwomen are transwomen. Women are adult human females. No transwoman can ever claim to be that without lying.

When did they decide that they thought they were women?

Whose decision is this? How about all the unfairness that women have suffered over the years by being lied to by DWP?

The world has gone bonkers

I try to keep an open mind but am struggling with the NHS supporting transgender women trying to breast/chest feed while cancelling other NHS procedures for lack of funding…

I would like to know how many trans women were born in that six day period, maybe none. It doesn’t bother me but would mean so much to those women so why not.

Couldn't agree more.

Me,too. It’s nonsense. If they worked as a man and got the wages of a man then that’s it .

That's what I was thinking. It's wrong, but how many people does it involve? Where is this idea coming from?

Which women?

It doesn't matter if it is one man or many.
Or if they have had cosmetic surgery or not.
It is our gov, (if this info is correct) being hijacked by this ideology and making decisions on our behalf without taking our opinions into account.

A minute number-unless lots of males come flooding out claiming that they’ve been TW since birth and their birthdate fits that window.

I hope I offend nobody especially with MH issues but
Asylum, lunatics, in charge spring to mind

But they will be so indoctrinated that what seems to be pushing boundaries now will seem like the norm to them and even wider boundaries will be established.

Now trans women are responsible for the gender pay gap?

Cool

What else can we pin on them?

Global warming?
Underfunding of the NHS?
The bigger gaps in Toblerone these days?

I don't think people would have changed their identity for money but to be the same as how they feel about themselves. I feel blessed to feel the same gender as when I was born . That is one less struggle I have to face.
