The bees have stopped swarming…
At the last UK census, around a quarter of a million people ticked the transgender box. That's around 0.5% of the UK population. In reality, there is still less than 1% of the population that identifies as trans, fewer than a million at a guess.
Somehow, a loud well-funded minority has managed to hijack the narrative with bullshit scare stories. There is a concerted attempt to make the lives of transgender people even more of a misery than it already can be.
