Transgender women and an early state pension.

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)

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

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

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?

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?

Couldn't agree more.

best answer I've seen on any platform in a long time..!

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.

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…

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.

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

Scrounging.

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…
