[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read her piece. It seems to be a completely reasonable position, but I know nothing about this issue. I've also seen online that some trans people are very offended by it, but some trans people are very supportive. The same for non trans people. So why does there need such hatred and vitriol towards her - why can't it just be accepted that this her opinion and it may be different from yours but it's certainly valid, and doesn't seek to harm anyone.[/quote]

It's because of her position as a children's author, as one of the most well known children's authors of all time.

Because the issue is not one for adults anymore but is now an issue for children.  [/quote]

Right.  So she’s in a better position than most to realize that many bright and especially sensitive young people who don’t neatly fit into a box are handling the chaos of puberty by believing that they somehow have landed in the wrong body, and that changing their gender is the solution.   Hence the +4,000-fold increase in girls presenting at gender clinics in the UK.  It’s not that she doesn’t know or doesn’t care, it’s that she really does know and really does care.  [/quote]
