I was talking to this guy in Belfast and he happened to be a big sorta DUP-voting loyalist/Unionist guy in Northern Ireland. Then he starts telling me his opinions about the trans community. And I’m all like, ‘oh here we f**king go’.
‘This is what he said: ‘If you’re physically a man, how can you identify as a woman?’
‘And I was like: ‘Well, to be fair mate, I mean, Northern Ireland is physically part of Ireland. You don’t seem to have a problem identifying as British’.
‘I mean, what is Northern Ireland if not a trans country, let’s be honest. And if there should be no-one who’s more pro-trans than a Northern Irish Unionist. Like this guy said to me: ‘These trans people, they’re called one name, and expect you to call them another?’
‘I said: ‘What? Like do you mean like Derry and Londonderry, for example, is that what you’re kinda talking about?’
