    Trying to explain all this to the parents is most amusing.

    “And what the feck is a non-binary?”

    That's neither here nor there. That person is an adult. The key word being ADULT. Free to do as they wish and the best of luck to them.

    My issue is kids having gender reassignment.
    That's just absolutely crazy.

    I might have misunderstood the mother from Wexford but she said something along the lines of she asked her kid was he gay around the end of primary school because he was a little different.
    I was a little different and had lots of different likes/interests at that age compared to my peers but my mother never asked me was I gay.

    Never thought I'd be cheering on Graham Linehan. 'Enemy of my enemy' and all that I suppose.

    Of course he's not. He makes his living riling up the slow lads in class.
    Not frightened to speak his mind. Unusual in Ireland these days.

    Why do we not let someone vote until they are 18 yet are facilitating these life changing decisions by those under 18?

    They are free to do whatever they want as long I don’t ( tax payer ) have to pay for it.

    Someone ( adult ) wants to transition, good. Pay for it yourself.

    And also have them pay for any additional infrastructure they want like 3rd, 4th, 5th toilet designations.

    I think it's logical that a miniscule number of people genuinely need a sex change and its not like its an entirely new phenomenon, it's become such a trendy cause however these days that it's not a stretch to imagine many make the leap from typical teen confusion to the all out decision to switch genders, when you add in the PC loons who relish mass gender identity confusion, your left with a lot of disastrous decisions by young vulnerable people

    This finishes at 10.15, could be an ad break after this segment, Graham might get about 5 minutes worth.

    Hmm. What a difficult topic.

    I'm all for self determination, but as shown in the Louis Theroux documentary it can be very difficult to determine whose will is behind the desire for change where children are involved.
    Oftentimes you'll see a parent behind the push, acting with themselves in mind.

    Then again, I can understand many of the reasons presented by those who have made the transition, as to why it would have been better to start the process sooner.

    No idea how that’s allowed given men’s inherent physical advantages. And some of these are contact sports.

    It's more complex than an ingrown toenail or freezing off a wart though.

    Monumental implications for a lifetime,decided upon by a teenager?????

    An utter recipe for disaster.
