Katie this is a wonderful strong piece of writing. The whole transgender issue is one that many people feel ill-equipped to deal with emotionally and there are so many side issues surrounding it.

Well done for bravely laying out your case so emphatically.

Ah thanks M.C. It's always a pleasure when one of these chimes with you. Driving & singing has been therapy, a joy, a hobby, a guilty pleasure (which I now see are just 'pleasures'), magical times and no doubt the place many of the poems on WoL might have been formed. Thanks for reading.

I’m afraid I can’t take sides in the match, MC. What with me not giving a monkey’s either way. (Other than that they provide a fund of material for my parodies).

Brian - thanks for the view from across the pond. There is a
different perspective there, of course, - that much I can understand for a variety of reasons. But I suspect that in
general terms, there will come a time when the feeling "Enough
already!" will prevail. Not least in a land that is noted for its
admiration for a "Say little and do more" mentality that has little
time for moaning about life's perceived unfairness.

Aha.
The suspicions now increase...the whisperings of "I knew it!"
In terms of respecting the Royal Oak, Harry seems keen to hew it.
If he wants to moan beyond our shores, then I say "Let him do it"
He's got the bit between his teeth, so let the blighter chew it!

Thank you very much, John B. Some things I read about what's going on in America at the moment just saddens me. It seems to be slowly choking itself to death.
And thank you John C. Yes, I thought that when I wrote it which, actually, seems apt for the whole sad situation!
And thanks for the likes everyone! 🌈

I do not wish to be disrespectful but you mention 'transition'. Are we stop calling her Mother Earth? Come to think of it further, why is the planet termed female, when Mars/Jupiter etc are termed fully male.

Sorry, I'll get my coat.
