I'm not sure of this guys integrity when he starts by bemoaning the use of the term 'trans lobby'. If he read the full article with an open mind I don't see how he can complain about the term.

I'm not sur what his complaint is. Does he think it evokes images of congress as some elaborate drag show? The article is clearly referencing the invested interests of the corporations offering the treatments to vulnerable people. And lobbyng to make their expensive treatments as mandatory and commonplace as breakfast.

And I'm sorry but being proud of being 'woke' is, to me, like being proud you thought you were a chicken, and behaved appropriately, because a hypnotist told you , when you woke you would believe you were a chicken. Hypnotism is the only place in which the term woke means anything practical.

So wake up. Don't wait to be woke.
