Dear Shadow Minister,

In an interview with Peter Stefanovic on
60 Minutes Hannah Mouncey stated -

"Some people will get
cosmetic surgery, you know, hundreds of thousands of
dollars to re-shape their jaw or their voice-box and
have surgery and all sorts of stuff. I'm definitely not
going down that path. I am fully transitioned."

As far as males accepting transgender women are concerned?
Those statistics are hard to come by. But seeing as the
number given of transgender women is 1.7% of the population,
and you tell us that a similar percentage of men accept
those women, that seems like a rather good stat and confirms
what Carlotta has said all along.

Thank You.

Foxy,

The figures for transgender total is closer to .5% and definitely less than 1% and the 1-3% that would date transgender mostly include those experimenting, not those intending any relationship.

However, the point I was trying to make is that roughly 49 in 50 straight men would run a mile if they found that their date was not born female which makes the acceptance of trans people mostly superficial.

Dear Shadow Minister,

I don't believe that to be true.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Here is a link that explains why some Australian men travel
to Manila to date transgender women:

SM,
"However, the point I was trying to make is that roughly 49 in 50 straight men would run a mile if they found that their date was not born female which makes the acceptance of trans people mostly superficial."

I'd agree in regard to older and middle aged Australians, but this pro-gay safe-schools thing has really done a number on the younger ones.

Foxy,
You should be careful.
From where I'm sitting you're so far to the left that if you go any further you'll be supporting child molesters next.
But I guess you support Muslims despite their shortcomings...

Foxy,

Look it up:

Secondly, I think your article actually makes my point. The people going to date trans women go precisely because they are trans / feminised men not because they are women. Luke Williams accurately describes them as the third sex.

AC,

While I don't believe that normal people will ever completely accept that trans people are the gender they profess, I do believe that they deserve a modicum of respect and tolerance so that they can function in society.

What I don't believe is that the education system needs to ignore the needs of the 96% of straight children and focus heavily on the needs of the 0.6%
